According to media reports, Mundra told analysts after the quarterly results that the reason for customers porting to BSNL is the increase in tariffs. This is an area we are keeping an eye on.
It is worth noting that the company is continuously losing its subscribers. 5G is also believed to be one of the reasons for this. In comparison to Airtel and Jio, Voda-Idea has not been able to expand the 5G network yet, while BSNL’s 4G network is going to be rolled out in the country soon.
In recent times, many media reports have revealed that after the increase in tariff, users are porting their numbers to BSNL. A report by Rising Kashmir revealed that 300 to 400 numbers are being ported to BSNL every day. Apart from VI, there were reports of Jio and Airtel users also switching to BSNL.
According to a report in Dainik Bhaskar, in 13 days in July, 1.05 lakh mobile numbers were ported to BSNL in Madhya Pradesh.
Vi lost 25 lakh subscribers
According to reports, Vodafone-Idea lost 2.5 million (25 lakh) mobile customers in the April-June quarter. By the end of June, the company’s total subscriber base remained at 210.1 million (about 21 crores). However, the company’s 4G customers have increased.
