July ’25 Telecom Tracker: 5G BTS Rebound + Record 4G Adds (Vi & BSNL in Focus)

India’s mobile network build just showed a pulse. Using DoT dashboards, I combine monthly 5G BTS counts with total BTS & tower data to reveal what actually moved in July 2025—and who’s likely driving it.

Key takeaways (July ’25):

5G BTS additions: ~6,450 (highest in this 16-month window since Apr ’24)

“Rest BTS” additions (mostly 4G): ~21–22k in a single month (rare spike)

Tower additions: ~3,313

4-month window: ~18,286 new 5G BTS, ~45k 4G BTS, ~9.7k towers

What I cover:

How I derive “Rest BTS” (= Total BTS − 5G BTS)

Why July’s 5G uptick likely points to Vodafone Idea ramping deployments

Why the 4G spike likely reflects BSNL’s rollout momentum

Context on Bharti Airtel & Reliance Jio capex moderation vs. current adds
