Akash Ambani, the chairman of Reliance Jio, had said that the country-wide rollout of 5G will be commemorated in conjunction with the "Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav." Jio did not officially launch it on August 15, but given the claims the telecom giant has made, it is anticipated to do so shortly. The companies want to launch 5G as a test programme in a few cities first. Several rumors claim that the Prime Minister would formally introduce the 5G network on September 29 at the India Mobile Congress (IMC).
