telecom.economictimes.indiatimes.com

India's mobile broadband user base fell by 5.6 million in September, marking the first decline in two years. This drop was largely due to Reliance Jio losing 8 million 4G/5G users after recent price hikes. In contrast, Airtel and Vodafone Idea each gained 0.4 million users, while Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) added 1.5 million users without raising prices. Jio's market share decreased by 60 basis points, while competitors gained ground. Despite the losses, Jio remains the leader in the 4G/5G market with a 51% share. Airtel follows with 31%, while Vodafone Idea and BSNL hold 14% and 4%, respectively.
