All of the aircraft radio altimetre filters are now being replaced by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). It is improbable that 5G would reach India's airports until that is accomplished.
In 2023, it's possible that Indians who live close to airports won't have access to 5G inside their homes. In comparison to 4G or 3G, India is being rapidly covered by 5G networks, thanks to the speed of telecom companies. The roll-out of 5G in India began in October 2022, and millions of Indians will soon have access to quick and responsive streaming, gaming and working experience. However, there are several significant issues that need to be resolved.
Consumers who live close to airports are unlikely to get 5G technology on their devices, according to industry analysts.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) had earlier raised concerns that 5G frequencies in the C-band would interfere with the radio altimetre frequencies inside the aeroplane , in the United States, the similar problem has existed. which forced the US telcom companies to repeatedly postpone the debut of C-band 5G.
The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has reportedly warned telecom companies Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea in a letter to refrain from immediately deploying C-band 5G base stations within a proximity of 2.1 Km of Indian Airports because according to reports, C-band 5G might interfere with aircraft radio (radar) altimetres. Pilots solely depend on radio (radar) altimetres for takeoff and landing of the aircraft along with help to prevent colliding with mountains.

Customers who live close to airports won't be able to use 5G inside their houses, but they will undoubtedly notice it in other parts of the city. The only telecom provider to commercially roll-out 5G is Airtel, Reliance Jio is still in the beta stage and is most likely to make a commercial debut only after its 5G network has reached the majority of India.
Many more airport-served cities will get 5G network coverage in the upcoming months. However, it will still take some time for the 5G ecosystem to develop to the level at which the market for 4G devices is now.
