Decoding Reliance Jio digital world

Reliance Industries (RIL) has unveiled a 4G mobile network in the country, including making all domestic voice calls and roaming free, while saying data would be priced well below its competitors.

RIL’s exhaustive plans are making India’s telecom operators rethink over their tariffs. The company also announced super-affordable handsets under the LYF brand starting Rs 2999.

The company’s management is targeting towards its 4G network covering 90 per cent of India's 1.25 billion population by March 2017. It would eventually cover 18000 cities, 2 lakh villages and aims for 100 million customers.

Jio is rolling out a fibre for home wireline network starting in select cities. The company’s initiative will push the power of data even further, and will offer data speeds up to 1 gigabit per second. It has also created a Jio Digital India Startup Fund and is also working to create Digital Entrepreneurship Hubs in key cities.

RIL has declared a ‘free welcome offer’ for Jio customers from September 5 till December 31. Reliance Jio will offer its users data services free for four months, after which it will offer 10 tariff plans starting at Rs 19 a day for occasional users, Rs 149 a month for low data users and Rs 4,999 a month for heavy data users.
