Bharti Airtel has expanded its mobile network to Marwah, a remote region connecting Kishtwar and Anantnag in Jammu and Kashmir.
With this rollout, Airtel has become the first telecom operator to provide reliable mobile connectivity in the Marwah region, which is known for its difficult terrain and limited accessibility.
Marwah is a geographically isolated mountainous area, and during winters it often becomes cut off due to heavy snowfall. Road access to nearby towns remains limited, forcing residents to travel on foot or by mule for supplies and emergencies.
Earlier, the 150-km corridor had no telecom coverage, making communication extremely difficult. Airtel’s high-speed network deployment now brings reliable mobile services to residents, security personnel, and visitors in the region.
The new network is expected to improve communication and support economic activities in the region. It may also boost tourism, as Marwah is known for its scenic landscapes and natural beauty.
According to Dibyendu Aich, the rollout highlights Airtel’s commitment to connecting remote areas and strengthening India’s digital infrastructure.
Bharti Airtel is a global telecommunications company headquartered in India with more than 600 million customers across 15 countries in India and Africa.
The company offers services such as 4G and 5G mobile connectivity, broadband internet, digital entertainment, financial services, cloud solutions, cybersecurity, and IoT services. Airtel also provides telecom infrastructure through its subsidiary Indus Towers.

Airtel’s network rollout in the Marwah region marks an important step toward reducing the digital divide in remote areas. The initiative will help residents stay connected while also supporting tourism and regional development.
