With updated software, go to Settings > Mobile Network on your Android or iOS device. Select your SIM provider (Jio, Airtel, or Vi) and tap Preferred Network Type. Choose 5G/4G/3G/2G Auto.

5G SIM

If you've done everything right but still can't access 5G, it might be due to low coverage in your area. Visit your telecom operator's website and check their 5G coverage map or call customer service. Also, remember your current 4G SIM is fully compatible with 5G. No need for a new SIM.
