Hyderabad: Reliance Jio has once again demonstrated its dominant position in the Andhra Pradesh (AP) telecom circle, which includes Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. As per the TRAI report released for April 2025, Jio exhibited spectacular subscriber growth across all three key— Wireless mobility, Wireline broadband, and 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) segments.
In the highly competitive wireless (mobile) category, Jio has emerged as the top performer recording the highest net addition of subscribers for April 2025. According to the TRAI data, Jio added 95,310 new subscribers, increasing its total user base from 3,17,76,074 in March 2025 to 3,18,71,384 in April 2025. While Bharti Airtel saw an increase of 42,600 subscribers, BSNL posted a modest gain of 1,715 subscribers and Vodafone Idea lost 9,058 subscribers during the same period.
Jio’s strong performance highlights its continued appeal and competitive edge in the region, outpacing rivals in net additions and reinforcing its position as a leading telecom operator in the state.
Reliance Jio’s wireline broadband service, Jio Fiber, continues to dominate the fixed broadband market in the AP telecom circle. In April 2025 alone, Jio Fiber added over 54,000 new subscribers, expanding its total wireline subscriber base to approximately 1.66 million. This growth rate surpasses that of other key players such as Bharti Airtel, which added around 18,000 subscribers, and BSNL, which saw only marginal increases.
Jio Fiber’s rapid expansion is driven by its extensive fiber infrastructure deployment, affordable plans, and superior service quality, enabling it to capture a significant share of the fixed broadband market in both urban and semi-urban areas.
In the emerging 5G FWA segment, Jio AirFiber has emerged as the clear market leader in the Telugu states. As of April 2025, Jio AirFiber boasts over 6.14 million subscribers nationally, with a substantial portion in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Jio AirFiber’s subscriber base in the AP circle increased sharply from 427,439 in January 2025 to over 523,000 by April, capturing more than 80% market share in the region. This growth is credited to Jio’s swift 5G infrastructure rollout, affordable pricing, and the ability to provide high-speed internet connectivity in rural and semi-urban areas where laying fiber cables is challenging.
Jio’s spectacular performance across all three telecom segments in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana reflects its commitment to digital inclusion and connectivity. By consistently delivering high-speed, affordable, and reliable services through Jio Fiber, Jio AirFiber, and its wireless network, Jio is driving the region’s digital transformation and setting new benchmarks for telecom growth in India.
