Nationally, Jio also continued its stellar performance as it added the highest 27.12 lakh mobile subscribers in the month of September. As per the analyst reports, India’s core mobile subscriber base excluding machine-to-machine (M2M) connections grew by 2.2 million month-on-month to 1.15 billion. Of this, Jio added 1.9 million subscribers, while Airtel managed only 0.2 million, making Jio’s contribution nearly ten times larger than Airtel’s. Jio dominated the overall subscriber number for September with 511.14 million subscribers, maintaining a clear lead over Airtel’s 494.29 million.
Jio’s advantage is even clearer in active subscribers. The industry-wide core visitor location register (VLR) grew by 0.6 million in September, but Jio alone added 1.3 million active users.
