Around 30,000- 35,000 customers in Haryana have requested to change their cellular operator as per MNP. This number happens to be just less than 1% of the 17 million strong consumer base in Haryana. Looks like MNP has not picked up with Indian user as expected.

After much fuss over Mobile Number Portability in India, the Indian Govt. finally begun the service in India starting from Haryana. At the launch event, the Communications and IT Minister of India, Mr Kapil Sibal said that the entire country would get Mobile Number Portability (MNP) from January 20, 2011.

TRAI and DOT announced today that Indian users will get Mobile Number Portability by October 31.
