“The customer base has grown really well. The data traffic is one of the highest on Reliance Jio. The revenue market share is also rising. In our opinion, Jio will continue to gain revenue as well as market share, putting further pressure on the incumbents.

That will impact Bharti Airtel’s home segment,” Nitin Soni of Fitch Ratings said.
