India’s mobile market keeps growing like crazy. Just recently the second most populated country in the world has passed the 400 million mark for mobile phone subscribers, despite the fact that growth slowed from the record breaking figures earlier in the year.

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) stated that a total of 11.90 million wireless subscribers (GSM, CDMA and WLL) have been added during April, making the total number of mobile subscribers reach 403.66 million. Needless to say, it’s an impressive figure!

And here’s the run-down of mobile operators by subscriber base:
