Kolkata: Reliance Jio<\/a> and Bharti Airtel<\/a> reported steady wireless customer gains in November, largely at the expense of Vodafone Idea<\/a> (Vi) which continued to suffer heavy customer losses, unable to offset the impact of sharp hikes in base prepaid tariffs taken in late-July.

Reliance
Jio<\/a> added 2.01 million wireless customers in November, taking its gross mobile user base to 428.61 million, while Bharti Airtel<\/a>’s rose by 1.31 million to 355.29 million, according to latest subscriber data issued by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai<\/a>) on Tuesday.

By contrast, Vodafone Idea (Vi) lost over 1.89 million customers in November, reducing its total mobile user base to 267.12 million, indicating the cash-strapped telco’s continuing inability to effectively combat its two financially-stronger rivals.

Analysts said Jio’s stronger show on the customer gains front was also partly helped by the Diwali launch of its new 4G device, JioPhone Next -- jointly developed with Google.
