The Short Answer

Relatively speaking, each are widely available.

The Long Answer

We live an ever techno-savvy world. And India refuses to be left behind in our ever growing digitally connect world! Perhaps you want to go the way of the monk and shut off all electrical gadgetry. If that’s you, more power to you. But if you do not want to go completely off the grid, do not worry! India has you covered. As for internet, the majority of the hotels and cafes will have wifi access in India. In Mehrauli there is a limited number of internet locations, but data on your phone will work. As for cell coverage, it is widely available throughout the country. You will need to check with your provider about international costs. And maybe purchase a temporary plan. Or you can purchase a tourist SIM card. If you are planning getting an Indian SIM, you will need to have your passport available. Recommended providers are Jio, Vodafone and Airtel. If you arrive in Delhi via plane, there is a Airtel store just outside of immigration. We also recommend getting your SIM prior to leaving the airport because after you exit it becomes increasingly difficult to get a SIM as a tourist.
