Bangalore: Tata Teleservices (TTSL) is leading in terms of new subscriber additions in a month, by adding more than 34 lakh subscribers in August 2009. Its nearest competitor in terms of new subscriber additions managed to add just over 28 lakh subscribers in the same period. Tata Teleservices added 3,418,138 new subscribers in August 2009 from its CDMA (Tata Indicom) and GSM (Global Systems for Mobile communications) operations (Tata Docomo) put together. In July 2009 too, TTSL had showed a healthy growth in new additions, with 2,247,002 new subscribers being added. While TTSL has shown a growth of 50 percent or more in new subscriber additions in July and August 2009, other telecom operators have shown flat or negative growth in new additions in the same period. "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," said Anil Sardana, Managing Director of Tata Teleservices. "This has far exceeded our expectations and enthuses us to provide the best telecom experience to our customers, in keeping with our larger objective of achieving customer affection and delight. Tata Teleservices recently launched its GSM services under the brand name Tata Docomo and has so far started commercial operations in eight circles. "It has been just over two months since we launched Tata Docomo 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.
