As per the TRAI report, while RJio added over 4 million users, Bharti Airtel lost 0.2 million users, Vodafone India and Idea Cellular lost  2.4 million and 2.89 million subscribers, respectively. The likes of RCom and Aircel too lost 4.01 million and 0.78 million users, respectively. One surprising aspect of the report is that the player that actually added the highest number of users in August was Tata Teleservices – 4.88 million.

Newcomer Jio continued its steady climb in terms of market share, taking it to 11.19 percent in August, up from 10.83 percent in July, 10.39 percent in June and 9.94 percent in May. While market leader Bharti Airtel’s August market share was constant at 23.7 percent, Vodafone’s market share fell to 17.55 percent from 17.74 percent in July, and Idea’s slipped to 16.11 percent from 16.34 percent in July, according to data on TRAI website.
