According to a website that tracks downtime, the outage was initially reported after 7:00 PM IST on May 13 and lasted until 11:35 PM IST. While the full list of affected areas has yet to be confirmed, users from Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and New Delhi were among those reporting network connectivity problems.

Roughly 66 percent of Airtel users reported no signal, while 21 percent experienced issues with mobile phone services, and 13 percent faced disruptions with mobile internet connectivity.
