Reliance Jio Subscribers: The Unparalleled Growth

The unparalleled growth of Jio is largely driven by the jaw-dropping mobile tariffs, which has redefined the mobile telecom industry in India. Taking the consumer-first approach, Reliance Jio offers unlimited calls to customers, albeit restricting high-speed data usage.

Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited (RJIL) is the telecom arm of Reliance Industries (RIL). On the eve of 27 September 2015 (83rd birth anniversary of Reliance Industries founder, Dhirubhai Ambani), his son Mukesh Ambani launched the Jio service but for only Reliance employees. Later on 5 September 2016, it became publicly available.

During its first fiscal quarter of 2016-17 (ended on June 2016), Reliance Jio had roped in 1.5 million subscribers in its test phase which offered free calls and data. Surprisingly, in just 3 months, net subscriber addition for the company was 14.5 million, making the total number of Reliance Jio subscribers in India to 16 million.
