Reliance Jio Infocomm continued to redefine India’s telecom landscape with a stellar December quarter. Its net profit soared 26% year-on-year to ₹6,861 crore, with revenue climbing 19.4% YoY to ₹33,074 crore, driven by an aggressive push in 5G adoption, AirFiber expansion, and robust customer additions. Average revenue per user (Arpu) rose to ₹203.3, a 12% jump from last year, reflecting strong customer engagement and the impact of earlier tariff hikes. Chairman Mukesh Ambani credited the growth to Jio’s digital services and subscriber engagement metrics, particularly as more users embraced 5G networks. With 170 million 5G users—the second-largest globally after China—Jio is well-positioned to maintain its lead in India’s digital transformation. In a record-breaking quarter, Jio added 2 million rFiber connections, bringing its subscriber base to 4.5 million. About 70% of new connections came from smaller towns, underscoring its success in tapping underserved markets.Beyond telecom, Jio’s AI ambitions are taking shape. The beta launch of its Jio Brain platform, backed by “GW scale” AI-ready infrastructure, aims to deliver ultra-low-cost AI solutions for India. Its AI Cloud welcome offer, providing 100GB of free storage, signals Jio’s challenge to global cloud giants like Google and Microsoft. The platform is set to scale soon, promising a seamless experience for Jio’s vast user base.
