India, the world's second-biggest mobile phone market, saw a 0.88 per cent monthly increase in mobile phone subscribers in March, an equivalent of eight million new users, data released by the country's telecom regulator showed on Thursday.

About 919.17 million people in India had a mobile subscription at the end of March, up from 911.17 million in February. China, the biggest mobile phone market, had 1.013 billion mobile subscribers.

The increase in subscriptions slowed last year, after rising at a monthly average of 19 million in 2010, the data showed, as companies started disconnecting users who have not used their phones for six months.
