Jio's active subscriber surge continues; BSNL's growth slows down: Report

This continued surge contrasts sharply with the losses faced by Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea (Vi), which lost 1.3 million and 3.1 million active subscribers, respectively.

The overall telecom industry saw a decline of 1.5 million active subscribers, marking the third consecutive month of subscriber losses. This drop brings the total active subscriber base to 1.06 billion.

The trend suggests potential SIM consolidation, particularly in B and C circles, where subscriber counts fell by 3.2 million and 0.9 million, respectively.
