Idea Cellular, a telecom company owned by Aditya Birla Group, lost more than 2.47 lakh mobile customers in Gujarat during July. This is one of the biggest dent the company has ever seen in its GSM subscriber base in the last several years of operations in the state.
Idea — the second largest telecom operator in Gujarat — saw the number of its GSM subscribers dip to 83,58,540 in July from 86,06,504 that existed a month ago, as per the latest data released by Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI), a non-governmental body that has private cellular operators as its core members.
Though Vodafone (2,000 customers), Airtel (58,000), Aircel (28,500) and Uninor (3,000) added subscribers to their existing tally of customers, the loss clocked by Idea Cellular dragged the state amongst the top telecom circles that registered a loss in GSM subscriber base in July. Gujarat lost over 2.41 lakh subscribers, during the month, which is second only to 3.5 lakh customers that Tamil Nadu lost during the same period.
