Tata Teleservices Ltd added 3.4 million new users in August, the highest for an operator during the month. Its nearest competitor added 2.8 million new subscribers during the month, TTSL said in a release.
TTSL added 3.41 million new users from both its CDMA (Tata Indicom) and GSM operations (TATA DoCoMo) services, while it added 2.24 million new subscribers during the previous month.
“This is fantastic news for us and a validation of all the efforts that have been put into making our network and services the best in the industry,” TTSL Managing Director Anil Sardana said. “This has far exceeded our expectations and enthuses us.”
TTSL recently launched GSM services under the brand name Tata DoCoMo, with operations across eight circles.
“It has been just over two months that we launched GSM services, and it will be a few months before we are a pan-India GSM operator. Against that backdrop, it is extremely gratifying to emerge as the top grosser in the industry in terms of new subscriber additions in August,” Sardana added.
