It seems the continuing free data and voice offer from the new entrant in Indian telecom space, Reliance Jio has to a large extent disturbed other telecom operators growth. According to the latest Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) telecom subscription data, Reliance Jio is the top wireless broadband service provider, pushing Airtel down to the second spot. Reliance Jio has 52.33 million subscribers actively using its data service. Whereas Airtel has only 41.90 million subscribers using its data services.
During the month of November 2016, Reliance Jio added 16.26 million new subscribers to its network. In the previous month also Jio added around 19.6 million new subscribers to its network. If we consider the subscriber addition of other Indian telecom networks, Idea Cellular is in the distinct section position with 2.52 million new subscribers. Followed by Airtel adding 1.05 million new subscribers and Vodafone India adding 0.89 million subscribers. This clearly shows the user attraction towards Reliance Jio, who managed to add almost eight times more new subscribers to its network than any rival telcos.
