Jio Emerges As Champion Of June
Airtel, which is right now India’s #1 telecom operator managed to add just 10,689 new subscribers in the month of June.
The severity of the situation for Airtel becomes more appalling, when we compare this with Jio, which added 97 lakh new users in the same period.
The gap is so massive, that there can be no comparison.
Idea Closes Gap With Vodafone
Meanwhile Idea Cellular, which was the #4 telecom player often battling it out with BSNL in the end of the list, has surprised everyone.
In the month of June, Idea Cellular managed to add 63 lakh new users, whereas Vodafone added just 2 lakh new users.
This is significant, because in the month of May, Idea had lost around 25 lakh customers.
Now, Idea and Vodafone has very less difference in total number of subscribers, and user-base: While Idea has now captured 19.24% marketshare, Vodafone has now 19.43% market share.
With 30.05% market share, Airtel remains #1; and Jio has now captured 18.78% market share, which is phenomenal with 215 million+ users.
Jio is clearly gaining new users at a rapid pace, and challenging domination of Airtel from all sides.
