Bharti Airtel now has around 60 cities and above on its radar for Airtel Xstream Fiber expansion with the ‘launching soon’. The number of cities is up from around 50 odd cities which were on its radar in August. Few of the cities which were earlier on the radar now have the ‘launching soon’ removed.
Barabanki, Jhunjhunu, Udaipur, and Udhampur which was earlier marked for imminent launch with a ‘launching soon’ tag seems to have got the fiber roll out with the microsite no longer mentioning any tag.
Basti, Bulandshahr, Etawah, Khammam, Kurnool, Lakhimpur, Nellore, Patiala, Pilibhit, Rewari, Vizianagaram are the newly listed cities which have got the ‘launching soon’ tag.

Airtel in Q2 FY 21 expanded its Airtel Homes services their reach to 145 cities in the quarter, up from 117 at the end of Q1 FY 21. According to STL, Bharti Airtel is looking to reach 1,000 cities in the next 12-18 months across India with an aim to reach around 40 million in homes.Â
Bharti Airtel had recently mandated STL to roll out fiber networks in around 10 telecom circles for the expansion of its FTTH business.
There are two fibre connection in MAIHAR , 485771….bsnl and railwire…both are worst…and we have been trying to call airtel and jio from past 2 years to come in our city…still no response from them…. please come to our city…we are having big userbase…. including multiple industries… business and homes too….
Still no palakkad? Both Jio and Airtel certainly missing out on a large user base.
There’s only one broadband provider, BSNL, whose services have been under par, both broadband and fiber.
There are rumours about Kerala vision broadband coming to Palakkad in November end. If that happens, everyone will switch to it, and Jio and Airtel would’ve misssed an opportunity.
A lot of cities mentioned above were initially in the ‘INVITE NOW’ list of Airtel Xstream Fiber.

Palakkad is still there. You can invite them to your neighborhood and have your nearby friends in the same area do the same. They have seemingly shortlisted the cities from the Invite Now list. The number of requests they receive may be a determinant.
