Only Jio, BSNL add mobile users in Dec, Voda Idea loses maximum, says Trai

Telecom subscribers in the country grew marginally to 119.7 crore in December with only two operators, Reliance Jio and state-run BSNL, reporting addition in their user base, according to a Trai report.

Reliance Jio added 85.64 crore users and BSNL 5.56 lakh customers to their network taking their subscriber base to 28 crore and 11.4 crore respectively in December.

An increase in the number of subscribers for BSNL has come at a time when the government has asked the PSU to explore options, including shutting down operations, due to heavy losses.
