Bharti Airtel has expanded its Xstream Fiber services to multiple cities across India including Ajmer, Bundi and Rohtak. The operator in early 2020 had said that its Xstream Fiber services would be “launching soon” in over 25 cities across India. Airtel said that its Xstream Fiber services would be launching by the end of April in certain cities with the company initially targeting June 1 to launch its services across all the listed places. However, the company pushed back its launch plans potentially due to the COVID-19 lockdown. In late June and early July, the company had highlighted that its Xstream Fiber services were launched in over 10 cities across India.
