Reliance Jio gained 3.15 mn users in October; Vi lost 2.04 mn: Trai

Reliance Jio continued to strengthen its position in the Indian telecom market, gaining 3.15 million new users in October, according to the latest data from the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai). This was, however, lower than the 3.47 million user additions in September and the record 3.9 million users the company had acquired in July.

The company’s growth has continued to come largely at the expense of the state-owned operator BSNL for more than a year now. However, BSNL’s subscriber loss slowed to 0.63 million subscribers in October, after two consecutive months of more than 2 million decline.
