A day after a TRAI report revealed that Vodafone Idea and Airtel lost 73.61 lakh and 18.64 lakh subscribers during October, respectively, the Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) has now released its own report for the month of November, showing that the newly-merged entity lost a further 65 lakh subscribers during the month – its third-straight monthly loss.
The report, however, brought some joy for Airtel, which is said to have added just over 100,000 subscribers in the same month. The organization hasn’t released data for Reliance Jio.
Overall, Vodafone Idea continues to remain at the top with 42. 108 crore subscribers, while Airtel holds firm at number two with a subscriber count of 31.47 crores.
