Jio widens revenue market share gap in Q4 after Airtel’s catch-up phase

After seeing its revenue market share (RMS) lead being narrowed by its arch rival Bharti Airtel for two successive quarters, Reliance Jio was back to its gaining ways, pulling ahead of the Sunil Mittal-led telecom operator on this key performance metric in the March quarter.

Jio’s strong sequential revenue growth across market categories marked by the benefits of a delayed flow-through of the July 2024 tariff hikes meant the market leader once again started widening its lead over the Sunil Mittal-led telecom operator in the fourth quarter of 2024-25, said analysts. While Jio had seen its RMS fall in the second and third quarters of the fiscal, Bharti Airtel had seen gains on this count.
