Jio Platforms yesterday reported an 11.3 per cent year-on-year rise in consolidated net profit for the December quarter to Rs 7,629 crore, on account of rise in subscriber base, average revenue per user, and scaling up of digital services. The company had posted a profit after tax (PAT) of Rs 6,857 crore after taking into account the share of profit and loss of associates and joint ventures.

The revenue from operations of Jio Platforms — which houses Reliance Industries’ telecom and digital businesses — rose 12.7 per cent to Rs 37,262 crore during the quarter from Rs 33,074 crore in the year-ago period, a PTI report from New Delhi stated.

The gross revenue stood at Rs 43,683 crore in the December quarter, 12.7 per cent higher than the corresponding period of the previous year. ARPU — a key metric for telcos — increased 5.1 per cent to Rs 213.7 during the reported quarter from Rs 203.3 a year ago.

“ARPU increased to Rs 213.7 with higher customer engagement, partly offset by promotional offers for unlimited 5G and fixed broadband services,” the statement said.

Meanwhile, a press release issued by Reliance Industries Ltd yesterday also added that the total 5G subscriber base reached 253 million as of December 2025 with 5G now accounting for 53 percent of total wireless traffic driven by consistent increase in customer engagement.

During the quarter, total connected premises with fixed broadband increased to 25.3 million. JioAirFiber continued to accelerate the pace of subscriber additions with a base of over 11.5 million as of December 2025.

Jio, according to the statement, also launched the Jio-Gemini AI offer during the quarter and expanded eligibility for all unlimited 5G users. Every eligible user would get free access to an 18-month subscription of Gemini Pro plan valued at Rs.  35,100. The subscription gives access to the Gemini 3.0 Pro model in the Gemini app, higher limits to generate stunning images and videos with the state-of-the-art Nano Banana and Veo 3.1 models, expanded access to NotebookLM for study and research, 2 TB of cloud storage and more.

Jio announced during the quarter the availability of YouTube Premium for JioHome prepaid users above Rs. 1,499 monthly plans, which would allow users to enjoy ad-free, offline, background viewing of YouTube content on the large screen along with YouTube Music Premium.

JioAICloud continued to grow its user base with 50 million registered users as of December 2025 with a targeted campaign focused on youth and students. In addition, features were further enhanced with introduction of Gujarati and Marathi in voice search engine, and AI driven auto-organisation of files.

Akash M Ambani, Chairman of Reliance Jio Infocomm, in a statement said, “Jio has been the catalyst for India’s digital revolution by bringing the world’s best technology platforms in the hands of Indian users. Jio’s

over 500 million subscriber base, deep customer insights and pan India distribution network will empower Reliance Intelligence to achieve its aim to make India not just AI-enabled but AI-empowered.”
