Reliance Jio is continuing its pole position in the monthly subscriber addition list as the telco managed to grab 11.7 million new users during July 2018. According to the monthly subscription data released by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai), Mukesh Ambani-owned firm, Reliance Jio Infocomm has extended its subscriber base by another 11.7 million, which takes the overall user base to a 227 million as of July 2018. At the company’s Annual General Meeting in July 2018, Ambani announced that Jio has 215 million users as of June 30, 2018. And the user base keeps on growing with every passing month. Compared to Vodafone which is second on the list, Jio has added close to 20 times more subscribers in July.

Jio Added 20 Time More Subscribers than Vodafone
First and foremost, Reliance Jio is the fastest telecom operator to surpass 100 million user base in 172 days. Later on, the subscriber growth reduced, but that didn’t take away the fastest growing telecom operator in the globe crown from Jio. At the end of July 2018, Jio’s overall subscriber base has reached an all-time high of 227 million and is currently standing third on the list of subscriber base. In July 2018, Reliance Jio has added 20 times more subscribers than Vodafone, which added just 609,074 new subscribers during the same period.
Idea Cellular Added a Mere 5,469 Subscribers During July 2018
