Jio adds 3.59 million users, corners 40% of market share in February

Reliance Jio continued to strengthen its position in the Indian telecom market, gaining 3.59 million new users in February, according to the latest data from the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai). However, this was lower than the record 4.17 million users the company had acquired in January.

The company’s growth has largely come at the expense of Vodafone Idea (Vi), which has been experiencing significant customer attrition for the past 23 months. Vi saw 1.02 million users leave their service, compared to 1.52 million in January. For the past four straight months, the telco has lost more than a million subscribers each month.
