Reliance Jio Becomes the 2nd Largest Telco in India
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has recently released its Telecom Subscription Data for May and has revealed that Reliance Jio has outpaced Bharti Airtel and has become the second-largest operator in the country, in terms of the subscribers in May. Vodafone Idea still remains the top telecom operator by subscribers in India, as per the report.
As per the data released by TRAI, RJio has added almost 81.8 lakh users to its subscriber base during May while both Vodafone Idea and Bharti Airtel lost 56.97 lakh and 15.08 lakh users, respectively, over the month.
Bharti Airtel, which was known as the biggest telecom operator in the country, was placed third, with a subscriber base of 32.03 crore users while Reliance Jio boasted the subscribers base of 32.29 crores while Vodafone Idea is still at the top of the game with 38.75 crore users, according to the data of TRAI.
The Mukesh Ambani- led Jio has disrupted the telecom industry with its cheap pricing for its plans and to date, the prepaid plans have remained unchanged. It seems that the extremely low pricing of its plans which none of its competitors can match has helped it gain consistently despite the telecom sector witnessing a drop in wireless connections, said a news report.
In its financial result for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, Reliance Jio reported a net profit of Rs 891 crore. Reliance Jio also said that its much-hyped fiber-to-the-home services are in its final stage and the initial signs have been encouraging. Further, the company has also revealed that the enterprises services will also be rolled out gradually.
