The total income stood at Rs.5,503.7 crore during the quarter under review up 22 percent against Rs.4,520.7 crore during an year-ago period, the company said in a statement.

Idea extended its mobile number portability (MNP) leadership with cumulative net gain of 3.5 million customers as on July 10, 2012. The company’s active 3G subscriber base has now expanded to 3.1 million.
