Telecommunication Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) a annoncé que la base totale India's mobile subscribers fell by 0.52 million in November, continuing its decline for the third month in a row.

At the end of November, the total mobile user base stood at 1.1430 billion, compared with 1.1435 billion in October. Taking into account an additional loss of 73,198 subscribers in the Tamil Nadu region compared to subscribers of virtual network operators BSNL (VNO), Trai also revised the total mobile user data for October.

Indeed, the total number of mobile subscribers in September fell for the first time in six months. But the urban subscriber base grew by 1.4 million to 626.6 million. According to analysts, the reason for the drop in the number of subscribers can be largely attributed to the consolidation of SIM cards due to inflationary pressures. According to Trai data, all other service areas showed a rate of decline in their wireless subscribers during the month except Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Delhi, Kolkata, Odisha, Assam, Bihar, North East, Haryana, and Kerala.
