Key Highlights Of Jio's Q1FY26:

- JioTrue5G user base crossed the 200 million milestone during the quarter and now stands at 213 million as of June 2025. Large-scale adoption of JioTrue5G with differentiated customer experience has been driven by Jio's own, end-to-end 5G stack with cloud native core network, which is ready to be taken to global markets.

- During the quarter, Jio reached the milestone of ~20 million connected premises with fixed broadband. Also, JioAirFiber is now the largest FWA service globally with a subscriber base of ~7.4 million. This global leadership in record time has been driven by Jio's proprietary Point to Multi-Point (P2MP) UBR technology. This technology is giving fiber a comparable experience at a much lower cost and has helped accelerate the pace of monthly home connects to ~1 million during 1Q FY26.

- After the overwhelming success of the 'Unlimited Offer' during the cricket season, Jio has further extended the offer during the quarter. This offer gives Jio users on plans of Rs 299 and above, a 90-day free JioHotstar subscription on TV/Mobile in 4K and 50-day free JioFiber / AirFiber trial connection for home after a refundable payment of Rs 500.

- Jio launched JioGames Cloud, which is a cutting-edge cloud gaming platform that allows anyone with a smartphone or a regular laptop/desktop or Jio-STB to play high-end console-quality games without needing any additional hardware. The subscription currently gives access to 500+ titles with data, voice and SMS bundled in one single plan. There is also a separate subscription plan for non-Jio connectivity users.

- During the quarter, Jio also introduced JioPC, a next-gen AI ready cloud computer. This platform converts any screen into a personal computer and offers affordable and secure cloud computing with built-in smart apps on a pay-as-you-go model. JioPC is being offered on a monthly subscription with a low upfront cost, no lock-in, and zero maintenance and upgrade costs.
