Updated: November 29, 2025 14:05

Reliance Jio added approximately 20 lakh mobile users in October 2025, strengthening its lead with a total subscriber base of 48.47 crore. Meanwhile, Bharti Airtel, led by Sunil Mittal, added around 12.5 lakh users, now serving 39.36 crore subscribers. Vodafone Idea saw a decline, losing over 20 lakh users.

Reliance Jio continues to maintain its dominance in the Indian telecom market by adding nearly 20 lakh new mobile users in October 2025. This impressive growth has raised Jio’s total subscriber count to an astounding 48.47 crore. Jio's expansive network, aggressive marketing, and competitive pricing strategies have been key drivers of this surge, especially in urban and semi-urban regions.

On the other hand, Bharti Airtel, under the leadership of Sunil Mittal, has also demonstrated healthy subscriber growth, adding around 12.5 lakh users last month. Airtel now boasts a subscriber base of 39.36 crore. The company’s focus on enhancing network quality, improving 5G coverage, and offering premium services has contributed to its sustained growth in a highly competitive environment.

However, Vodafone Idea’s journey continues to be challenging with a subscriber drop of approximately 20.8 lakh users in October. The company now serves about 20.07 crore users. Factors such as network issues, limited investment in 5G rollout, and stiff competition have impacted its subscriber base negatively.

Key Highlights:

Reliance Jio’s Subscriber Growth: Nearly 20 lakh new users added in October, total now at 48.47 crore.
Bharti Airtel’s Expansion: 12.5 lakh new users, total subscriber base stands at 39.36 crore.
Vodafone Idea’s Decline: Loss of 20.8 lakh users, total reduced to approximately 20 crore subscribers.
India’s Telecom Market: Overall subscriber base reached 123.1 crore with wireless users at 118.4 crore and wireline subscribers at 4.6 crore. Growing broadband subscriptions crossed 100 crore as of October 2025.
Market Dynamics: Intense competition with Jio and Airtel focusing on 5G rollout, customer acquisition, and premium services amidst VIL’s declining subscriber base.

Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Jio and Sunil Mittal’s Airtel continue to drive India’s telecom sector forward, shaping the landscape of connectivity and digital growth.
