Analysts and industry experts say it is too early to judge whether Vi is witnessing a reversal in trend.
\u201cThe 1.7 million addition in subscribers in January is definitely a gain, however it may be also an outcome of the base effect of the previous month which reflected large declines,\u201d said Gaurav Dixit, Associate Director, CARE Ratings. \u201cWe will have to analyse for a quarter or so to conclude that Vi is finally seeing some sustainable user addition\u201d.
Vodafone Idea made net additions in the Haryana, Kerala, MP and UP(W) circles.
Another analyst said that Vodafone Idea hasn\u2019t made any strategic changes to its tariff structure which could result in this net addition.

As per data, Jio continued to be the number one telco with a wireless base of 410.7 million wireless subscribers, followed by Airtel 344.6 million and Vi\u2019s 286 million.

<\/div><\/div>According to Trai, Bharti Airtel continued to be the leader in terms of active users with 97.44% or 335.8 million active users, while only 79.01% base of Jio was active with 324.5 million users, at the end of January 2021. Vi trailed behind with an active user base of 256.3 million users, which is 89.63% of its total base.
Total wireless subscribers increased from 1,153.77 million at the end of December, 2020 to 1,163.41 million at the end of January, 2021.
In the wireline category, Jio added the highest number of subscribers in the month of January, over 196,437, taking its wireline base to 2.95 million which is almost halfway to Bharti\u2019s wireline base of 4.64 million. Bharti lost 18,545 wireline subscribers in January while the third ranked Vi lost 11,619 wireline subscribers.
Overall, the number of telephone subscribers in India increased from 1,173.83 million at the end of December, 2020 to 1,183.49 million at the end of January, 2021.
