TRAI test: Jio fastest in Nuh and Palwal, BSNL slowest with most weak-signal samples

Reliance Jio delivered the fastest mobile data in both Nuh and Palwal districts of Haryana in an independent test by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), while BSNL was slowest and had the most weak-signal samples.

TRAI released the findings on 5 November. Its contractor drove 295.2 km of city routes, did 1.8 km of walk tests and checked six hotspots across Nuh, Palwal and adjoining areas between 13 and 15 July 2026, using SIM cards of all four operators on 2G to 5G networks. The tests were supervised by TRAI's Jaipur regional office.
