Tata Teleservices Limited, India’s fastest-growing pan-India
dual-technology telecom service provider, emerged as the Number One telecom operator in
the country for the third consecutive month in October, in terms of new subscriber additions,
adding more than 3.8 million subscribers in the month. The achievement is all the more
noteworthy as the nearest competitor managed to add just over 2.9 million subscribers in the
same period, a gap of nearly 1 million subscribers. Tata Teleservices Limited also crossed the
50-million subscribers milestone in October.
Tata Teleservices Limited added 3,867,725 new subscribers in October 2009 from its CDMA
(Tata Indicom) and GSM operations (TATA DOCOMO) put together. In September 2009 too, TTSL
had showed a healthy growth in new additions, with 40,06,823 new subscribers being added. In
August as well, TTSL led the market by adding over 3.4 million new subscribers.
“It is extremely gratifying to emerge for the third consecutive month as the top grosser in the
industry in terms of net subscriber additions. Our net subscriber additions in October validate
the efforts that have been put into making our network and services the best in the industry,”
Mr Anil Sardana, Managing Director of Tata Teleservices Limited, said. “As mentioned, October
is the third consecutive month that we have achieved the highest number of net subscriber
additions, and we thank each one of our new and existing subscribers for showering so much
love, affection and trust in us. This has far exceeded our expectations and motivates us to
provide the best telecom experience to our customers—in keeping with our larger objective of
achieving customer affection and delight,” he added.
