Bharti Airtel gained the most number of subscribers in January, with 1.65 million new wireless users, while Reliance Jio added 0.68 million users, data from the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) showed on Monday.

Vodafone Idea (Vi) continued to lose subscribers, with 1.33 million users leaving the telecom operator in January. Meanwhile, state-owned telecom operator BSNL shed just 0.15 million users in January. With BSNL keeping tariffs unchanged, a large number of subscribers using entry-level plans had shifted to the telco in July last year, but the additions have reversed in the last few months of 2024.
