Good to know before you go to India
India's mobile coverage is strong in major metro areas — Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Goa — and reasonably good along popular tourist routes like the Golden Triangle (Delhi-Agra-Jaipur). It can be inconsistent in rural areas and the Himalayan north, where terrain and infrastructure both limit signal. Data use runs high here because of navigation in dense, hard-to-read street layouts and heavy reliance on ride-hailing apps — plan for 8-10GB or more over a two-week trip, and download offline maps before heading into rural or mountain regions.
