"We are extremely delighted that GSMA's call to bring an end to domestic roaming fees has received resounding support from the leading operators in China, the largest telecom market in the world," Mittal said in a statement.
Mittal, the founder of Indian telecom major Bhart Airtel, has called for lowering or putting an end to roaming charges to prevent customers from bill shocks.
GSMA is a global association of telecom operators and Mittal is heading the body at present.
Three state-owned Chinese mobile operators -- China Telecommunications Corp, China Mobile Communications Corp and China United Network Communications Group Ltd -- have reportedly said that they will end inter-province roaming fees by October.

Airtel has announced that there will be no premium on outgoing calls for customers roaming within India and they will enjoy free incoming calls and SMSs from April 1.
Even for international roaming, Airtel will migrate its customer travelling abroad in to special schemes that allow them to make and receive calls at discounted rates from April 1. The migration will happen automatically after subscriber's spending on mobile phone calls, SMS or data reaches close to subscription pack rate.
Mittal has earlier said that during his tenure as chairman of GSMA he will work with all operators to reduce drastically international roaming charges and protect consumers from bill shocks.
He added that though there will be some extra charge that people will pay in per day packs but "gone are the days of high bill shocks and atrociously high tariff that roaming currently has".
