The three quarters uptrend of ARPM was halted with decline by 2.8 percent but the voice elasticity of demand more than compensated the slide. In comparison, the company improved 'non voice revenue' share to 16.5 percent (16.1 percent in Q3FY14) led by data growth, the company said in a statement.
"The company added 5.1 million new 3G users in FY14 with 3G EoP base now at 10.2 million. The 3G user mobile data ARPU is steady at Rs 111 per month. The company clocked 17.7 million net subscribers on visitor location register (VLR) in FY14 against 14.9 million net subscriber VLR additions in FY13 strengthening its presence in Indian mobile market.
