The assessment, carried out in December 2025, covered extensive city routes, institutional hotspots, public transport hubs and high-density corridors.

The tests spanned 347.4 km of city drive routes, 12 hotspot locations and 7.8 km of walk tests, assessing 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G services of Airtel, MTNL, Reliance Jio and Vodafone Idea.

MTNL lagged on several parameters, particularly in data services. TRAI has shared the detailed findings with the concerned telecom service providers for necessary corrective action and network improvement.
