BHARTI AIRTEL'S NET subscriber additions gathered momentum in October, with the telco adding 1.25 million new users during the month, up sharply from 437,717 in September, according to the latest subscriber data released by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai).
Market leader Reliance Jio saw a sequential moderation in net additions, enrolling 2 million new users in October compared with 3.25 million in September.
The steepest decline was recorded by Vodafone Idea. After months of staying just under the one-million mark, the telco’s net subscriber loss widened significantly to 2 million in October (September: 744,222).
State-owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) added 269,215 users in October, down from 524,014 additions in September.
