Reliance Jio has 94% mobile data traffic share in India while Airtel , Vodafone and Idea Cellular have 2% share each, according to a report by Credit Suisse.

The report studied 2G, 3G and 4G coverage of telecom operators in 30 cities of India, out of which Jio fared well in 80% of cities, the financial services company said. Airtel, Vodafone and Idea had good coverage in 10–30% of the cities.

“We studied network coverage and speeds characteristics across capitals of the larger states and major union territories (30 in total). In our view, we have therefore surveyed a major part of urban India (we believe a significant portion of industry revenues, and an even higher portion of data revenues come from these locations),” the broker said.

The survey used image processing tools to map out areas with high-signal-strength in each of the 30 regions, and used it as a basis to extract telecom operator coverage relative to that of the total industry.

The study cited overloading of network under Jio’s free offer period as one of the reasons for the new entrant’s slow network speeds.

Another report by the company had earlier noted that Jio probably accounts for 35% plus of network capacity in the country.

Out of the 30 cities surveyed, Reliance Jio has its 4G signals present in over 70% of the entire area covered by cellphone signals, and in no city it has a below 30% coverage.

Airtel on the other hand has 70% plus coverage in 22% of the areas surveyed. “In 27% of the areas, Airtel has between 30-70% coverage and in 51% of the area, Airtel’s LTE coverage is below 30%,” the study said.

However, Airtel led with over 12 Mbps, followed by Idea at over 8 Mbps and Jio below 8 Mbps.
The report was compiled on the basis of multiple secondary sources in India and abroad.

It's bound to happen if someone is carrying highest data capacity in the world. But we should credit Airtel also as Jio uses their undersea cable
 
The percentage is ridiculous. There should be an others legend when there are multiple operators. 94+2+2+2 gives 100. What about Other operators???

 
Jio ahead in network coverage but trails in 4G speed to Airtel: Report

Reliance Jio network coverage is significantly ahead of the other operators but the newcomer trails behind Airtel in terms of offering 4G speed given the high load on its network during the free offer period, says a report by Credit Suisse.

"Our conclusion is that Jio's network coverage is significantly ahead of the other operators. Jio has good coverage in 80 per cent plus of cities surveyed, compared to less than 30 per cent for the others. The difference is even more stark when compared only with 4G networks of incumbents (sub-15 per cent of cities)," the latest report said.

However, the newcomer did not fare as well when it came to speeds - the survey concluded that Airtel offered the best 4G speed, while Jio was "probably bogged down by load".

"We also studied the network speed results across all these locations. Airtel 4G offers the best download speeds in general (12Mbps plus). Jio, Vodafone and Idea are close to each other (7-8Mbps). We suspect Jio's speeds are impacted by the high load on the network in the free offer period," Credit Suisse said.

Jio carries 90 per cent plus of all data traffic in the country currently while its network capacity share is closer to 35 per cent, it added.

The competitive pressure is expected to sustain, the report said adding that significant pressure on fundamentals will continue in the coming quarters from Jio.

"We have already started seeing the impact of Jio on the incumbents' numbers (Bharti 3Q). Our study here shows Jio has built a significant lead in terms of network coverage, and the incumbents have a fair amount of catch-up to do (especially on 4G). Importantly, going by recently announced enhanced capex plans, the company continues to invest," it added.

The study covers over 30 Indian cities that represent a "significant chunk of current data demand and revenues", it said.

Yes, they should have coverage like 2G. When you have only 4G license for basic amenity of phone, you should have coverage just like 2G. And they do have it . there's no wonder in it. Current operators cannot achieve this easily...
