As Reliance Jio’s 5G services mark the fastest-ever rollout of this scale anywhere in the world, RIL Chairman Mukesh Ambani said that the company is on track to cover the entire nation now with the ultra-high-speed network by this year’s December.

On the occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi (September 19), JioAirFiber is all set to be launched, said Ambani at the 46th AGM of Reliance Industries.

Jio customer base has crossed a milestone of 450 million users so far. Its 5G network covers almost 96 per cent of towns and the country is on track to cover the entire country by the end of 2023.

Addressing the event, Mukesh Ambani said, “Jio’s overall customer base has now crossed the milestone of 450 million subscribers, reflecting a year-on-year revenue growth of over 20 per cent.”

The per-user data consumption on Jio’s network has surged, with the average user now consuming over 25 GB every month, according to media reports.

He said that Jio was launched seven years ago with a mission to transform India into a Premier Digital Society, and added “We have invested our heart and soul into building a Digital Public Infrastructure which the entire world has begun to admire.”

‘Jio be main catalyst of New India’s digital transformation’

Jio has been the main catalyst of New India’s spectacular digital transformation, Ambani asserted.

Moreover, he added, “Now our ambitions are even higher — and they go beyond the shores of India, as I shall explain. Let’s first discuss Jio True 5G, our pioneering 5G broadband offering. We began our 5G rollout last October. In just nine months, Jio 5G is already present in over 96 per cent of the census towns of our country.”

With over 50 million 5G customers, Jio is already leading in 5G adoption in India, the chairman said.

“And we are the only company with the capacity to smoothly transition our entire 4G customer base to 5G, with minimal additional capital expenditure. With the growing adoption of Jio 5G, we are also seeing an increasing trend of high-ARPU, post-paid customers choosing Jio as their preferred network,” Mukesh Ambani said.
