Reliance Jio gains 3.47 mn, Vi loses 0.74 mn users in September: Trai

Reliance Jio continued to strengthen its position in the Indian telecom market, gaining 3.47 million new users in September, according to the latest data from the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI). However, this was lower than 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 Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), which lost 2.33 million users in September, marking the second consecutive month of more than 2 million declines.
