Reliance Jio Adds 8 Million Subscribers in April 2019: Trai

Telecom operator, Reliance Jio, has added a whopping eight million subscribers in the month of April 2019, reveals the data released by Trai. At the end of April 2019, Jio’s subscriber market share is 27.08%, which is right below that of Bharti Airtel’s 27.69% share. However, this data by Trai is slightly confusing as Reliance Jio claimed its subscriber base has crossed 300 million during Q4 FY19 itself. Bharti Airtel reported a subscriber base of around 284 million at the end of Q4 FY19, so clearly Jio is ahead of Airtel right now. Also, according to the Trai data, Airtel lost close to 3.3 million subscribers during April 2019, which will further dent its subscriber base. Leading telecom operator, Vodafone Idea, managed to lose just 1.5 million subscribers during the same month, and BSNL has added 2.3 lakh new customers.

Reliance Jio Continues to Add New Subscribers in Large Number

Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Jio Infocomm continues its subscriber growth at a quick pace. The telecom operator is quickest in the world to reach 300 million subscribers in just 30 months of starting the operations. And it seems like the growth will continue and the telco might soon surpass Vodafone Idea as well. While other telcos like Vodafone Idea and Bharti Airtel are focusing on improving their ARPU, it’s Reliance Jio which is concentrating on both ARPU and subscriber growth.

According to the Trai data, Bharti Airtel has lost 3.2 million subscribers during April 2019, while Vodafone Idea lost slightly over 1.5 million users. RCom, MTNL and Tata Teleservices lost 108, 4170 and 2.9 million subscribers respectively.
