Passengers handled at domestic terminals. The sheet also lists April-to-October part-years for FY24 and FY25; both are excluded, and the FY24 part-year in particular would otherwise contradict the full FY24 row directly above it.

Service areas are not states. Some cover two states, some split one, and Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata are their own areas — so this is labelled by service area and is deliberately not drawn on the state map, which would assert a correspondence that does not exist. One TRAI report covers one quarter, so this is a snapshot rather than a series over time. The half of the gap that matters: rural tele-density runs far below urban in every service area, and the national figure hides the distance between them.

One TRAI report covers one quarter, so this is a snapshot rather than a series over time. Above 100 everywhere, and above 190 in some areas. Read as SIMs per hundred residents, not as people connected.

One TRAI report covers one quarter, so this is a snapshot rather than a series over time. Tele-density counts connections, not people, so it exceeds 100 per cent wherever people hold more than one SIM — which in urban areas is most of them.

One TRAI report covers one quarter, so this is a snapshot rather than a series over time. Connections rather than people, and undirected on purpose: more SIMs in a service area is not straightforwardly better.
