Only Jio and BSNL increased their customers in Oct.2018.

It is a matter of great encouragement that, apart from Reliance Jio, there is only one company which increased it's customers in October, 2018, and that company is BSNL. All other companies in the Indian telecom sector have lost their customers. According to the TRAI report, only Jio and BSNL increased their customers in Oct.2018. Jio added 1 crore customers, while BSNL increased 3.66 lakh customers.  BSNL's customer addition may look small, compared to the addition made by Reliance Jio. But, BSNL's performance is a very big achievement, compared to the performance of Vodafone which has lost a massive 73.61 lakh customers. Airtel has lost 18.64 lakh customers, Tata Tele Services has lost 9.25 lakh customers, MTNL has lost 8,068 customers, and RCom has lost 3,831 customers. All these companies have lost a whopping 1.01 crore customers.
