KOLKATA: Bharti Airtel added more mobile phone users than market leader Reliance Jio Infocomm for the fourth straight month in November 2020, signalling that it’s still gaining bulk of the customers leaving Vodafone Idea (Vi), which continued to cede ground to its stronger rivals.

Sunil Mittal-led Airtel gained 4.37 million wireless subscribers against Jio’s 1.93 million, while struggling Vi lost 2.89 million users in November, according to subscriber data collated by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) released Thursday.

Trai’s mobile user data showed Airtel’s November user base swelled to 334.65 million while Jio’s rose to 408.29 million. Loss-making Vi’s user base, though, fell further to 289.94 million.
