In India, several telecom operators are trying to gain new customers as much as they can. A familiar strategy has been conducted by attractive low-cost price plans and various additional offers as well. Reliance Jio is said to be an aggressive competitor in the telecom industry by providing the most affordable price to keep the customers' happiness in order to gain the number of them. Reliance Jio was noted as the most prominent gainer in terms of new users, according to a recent Telecom Regulatory Authority of India's (TRAI) report.

In the same period, BSNL which a government-led corporation was the runner-up with 9,80,000 additional subscribers. The third place was tied by Bharti Aitel with new customers number of 1,03,389.

On the other hand, Vodafone Idea and Tata Teleservices faced up to the contrary. In the month of January 2019, Tata Teleservices has seen its customers leaving, which was counted about 8,47,925 customers. Vodafone Idea even lost 3.5 million customers and was listed at the bottom of the ranking.
