Operating Revenue Grows on ARPU Strength

Jio posted a 2.76% quarter-on-quarter increase in revenue from operations, reaching ₹33,986 crore in Q4. The rise was driven primarily by an improvement in ARPU and the expansion of Jio’s broadband and digital offerings. ARPU for the quarter stood at ₹206.2, up from ₹203.3 in Q3 FY25.

Reliance Jio Infocomm Leads Performance

Reliance Jio Infocomm, the telecom arm, remained the key contributor to JPL’s revenue and profit. It recorded a 2.55% jump in net profit, reaching ₹6,642 crore, while revenues grew to ₹30,018 crore, marking a 2.43% sequential rise. The segment’s EBITDA stood at ₹16,188 crore, up 2.47% from the previous quarter.

Q4 Figures Surpass Analyst Estimates

• Revenue: ₹29,840 crore

• EBITDA: ₹15,478 crore

• Net Profit: ₹6,477 crore

Jio’s actual results comfortably exceeded these figures, reaffirming the company's robust business fundamentals.

Strong 5G Adoption and Subscriber Growth

Jio’s growing 5G penetration played a significant role in its Q4 success. The company added 6 million new mobile subscribers during the quarter, double the 3 million added in the preceding quarter. As of March 31, the total subscriber base stood at 488.2 million.

Out of these, 191 million users—nearly 40%—are now on Jio’s 5G network, contributing to 45% of its wireless data traffic.

Higher Data Usage and Stable Voice Traffic

Monthly per capita data usage increased to 33.6 GB, up from 32.3 GB in the previous quarter. This surge in consumption was fuelled by Jio’s nationwide 5G rollout. Overall wireless data usage touched 48.9 billion GB, compared to 46.51 billion GB in Q3. Meanwhile, total voice usage remained steady at 1.49 trillion minutes.
