The telecom operator acquired 4G (LTE) spectrum in Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Kerala and Karnataka circles in the February 2014 auctions.
These circles together contribute close to 50 percent of its total data revenue, making it the largest data revenue market for the firm. Vodafone will be the second operator to roll out 4G service in Mumbai. Bharti Airtel has already launched the service to take on the new entrant Reliance Jio Infocom.
The service will be launched in a phased manner across Mumbai.
Roll-out of #Vodafone4G will be completed across all parts of Mumbai including Eastern suburbs & New Mumbai license areas by end March 2016.
