Jio leads in user growth & market share, Airtel expands 4G, 5G base; Vi continues to struggle: Report

Reliance Jio added way more active users than Bharti Airtel in June 2024, but the Sunil Mittal-led telco added more higher-paying 4G and 5G users than its closest rival in that month. Vodafone Idea (Vi) continued to lose active users but gained some 3G and 4G users, according to latest telco subscriber data released by the regulator Tuesday.

Jio added nearly 4 million active users to Airtel’s modest 0.67 million additions in June, while Vi lost as many as 2.71 million active users, latest customer data put out by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) showed. Vi’s heavy losses on this score underlined its continuing inability to fight bigger rivals, Jio and Airtel.
