Bharti Airtel Has 344 Million Active Subscribers, What’s Jio’s Performance Here?
Bharti Airtel has a total of 344 million active subscribers out of its total subscriber base. As for Jio, the number of active subscribers in June 2021 stood at 340 million which is only 4 million behind from that of Airtel. Jio added 2.4 million active subscribers in June 2021 which is not a bad number, but it is lesser than the month of May 2021 where it had added 2.8 million active subscribers.
According to the analyst, the reason behind the declining trend in addition of active subscribers for Reliance Jio is the dipping excitement and interest around the JioPhone offer launched in March 2021.
As for Vodafone Idea, bad things continue to happen. Vi lost 4.9 million active subscribers in June 2021. The telco’s difficulties will keep on increasing if it can’t reduce the subscriber churn rate soon. Vodafone Idea’s total active subscriber base stood at 242 million in June 2021.
