Airtel Down In India: Telecom service provider Airtel users across several parts of India reported widespread network outages today on Monday. Meanwhile, several users moved to social media platforms to report the issue about not being able to make calls and access data services using their Airtel number.
According to outage-tracking website Downdetector, more than 2,300 users had reported service disruptions by 4:04 PM, highlighting a widespread issue that impacted both voice calls and internet connectivity across the country. However, the reported issues were widespread and not limited to a single city, with users from metro areas such as Bangalore, Mumbai, and Delhi sharing concerns online and on social media platforms.
After this internet outage, a telecom giant Airtel has confirmed the network outage via its official handle and said that “We are currently experiencing a network outage, our team is actively working to resolve the issue and restore services promptly. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused”. Frustrated users took to social media to report difficulties that lasted for hours. Many complained of being unable to make or receive calls, while some pointed out issues with SMS services.
Others alleged data deductions on 4G networks despite subscribing to 5G plans, raising concerns about the company’s infrastructure and reliability. “@Airtel_Presence @airtelindia services are completely down. Unable to make or receive calls and even messages are not working. This is causing serious inconvenience. Please resolve the network outage immediately and confirm ETA for restoration,” one user wrote on X.
“If you are an #Airtel user, and unable to make calls, you’re not alone. Seems like a widespread outage,” another user mentioned. On X, the hashtag #AirtelDown began trending as customers from different regions said the outage was not limited to Delhi-NCR but appeared to affect multiple parts of the country. One user urged fellow customers not to panic if they were unable to contact loved ones, calling it a nationwide issue.
The telecom operator has not shared an estimated time for restoration, but assured users that efforts are underway to bring services back to normal. (With IANS Inputs)
