Jio 5G Network Surpasses 170 Million Users, Data Consumption Hits Record High

Reliance Jio’s 5G network has surpassed 170 million users, solidifying its position as the world’s largest standalone 5G operator outside China. As the user base for Jio’s 5G network continues to expand, the average data consumption per user has also surged. By the end of December, the per-user data consumption reached 32.3 GB, the highest in the industry.

Jio now accounts for 40% of the total data consumption in the country, with overall data usage on the network reaching a massive 465.1 billion GB, a 22.2% increase compared to the previous year. This growth is highlighted in Reliance’s quarterly results.

Mukesh Ambani, Chairman of Reliance, attributed this strong growth in the digital services business to the consistent increase in the number of customers. He emphasized that a better customer mix and the growing number of customers upgrading to 5G have contributed to the success. Additionally, Jio has strengthened its market position with competitive offerings in home broadband services.

Akash Ambani, Chairman of Jio, also shared that the company has worked diligently to fulfill the Digital India mission by launching 5G across the country and expanding fixed broadband services beyond tier-1 cities. He further noted that Jio is laying the foundation for a connected future, driven by technological innovation and the power of AI, ensuring that all will benefit in the years to come.

Looking ahead, Jio expects to surpass 482.1 million users by the end of 2024. In the current quarter, Jio added 3.3 million net customers. Jio’s financial performance for the third quarter was also impressive, with Jio Platforms Ltd. reporting a year-on-year profit increase of 26.0%, reaching ₹6,861 crore.

Thanks to tariff hikes and an improved customer mix, Jio’s Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) has climbed to ₹203.3. The company anticipates that the full impact of the tariff increases will be realized in the coming months.
