Trai evaluating ways to determine unique mobile subscribers base

Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) is mulling ways to arrive at a mechanism to determine the ‘unique mobile subscriber base’ in the country, according to a senior official.

The latest Trai data pegs India’s total wireless subscriber base at 1161.8 million as on March 31, 2019, while the wireless teledensity stands at 88.46.

This subscriber number, however, does not give the exact picture of those connected or unconnected as it takes into account multiple SIMs and phone connections.
