Telecom service provider Tata Teleservices Ltd (TTL) today said it has crossed the 75 million subscriber mark, with the addition of 2.32 million new users in July.
The company's subscriber base reached 76,058,908 (wireless and wireline) as on July 31, 2010, within five-and-a-half years of the launch of its mobile telephony services in early 2005.
"Each new milestone crossed, we have raised our own internal benchmarks in keeping with our larger objective of consistently enhancing and improving our standards, and of providing our customers with differentiated and lifestyle impacting telecom services," TTL Managing Director Anil Sardana said in a statement.
TTL, along with Tata Teleservices (Maharashtra) Ltd, has shown a subscriber growth rate of more than 100 per cent in the last 12 month from 38 million subscribers in July 2009.
The company provides mobile and fixed wireless services using GSM technology across 22 telecom circles.
The company offers integrated telecom solutions to its customers under the brands Tata Indicom, Tata DoCoMo, Tata Photon and Tata Walky and uses both the CDMA and GSM technology platforms for its wireless networks.
TTL, 26 per cent owned by Japan's DoCoMo, and Tata Teleservices (Maharashtra) Ltd together operate in more than 4,50,000 towns and villages across the country, serving over 76 million subscribers.
Japan's DoCoMo took a 26 per cent stake in Tata Teleservices for $2.7 billion in December 2008. The Tata DoCoMo branded GSM network was launched in July 2009.
