Jio Platforms' Q1 profit rises 25% to Rs 7,110 cr on higher per user revenue
The Q1FY26 report card of JPL, the entity that houses Reliance Industries' telecom and digital businesses, ticked all the boxes on key metrics, as gross revenue climbed 19 per cent year-on-year (YoY) to Rs 41,054 crore, and margins improved.
New Delhi, Jul 18 (PTI) Jio Platforms on Friday reported a net profit of Rs 7,110 crore for the June quarter, a nearly 25 per cent rise over the year-ago period, as its numbers were bolstered by customer adds, improved realisations per user and data traffic growth.
Average Revenue Per User – a key monitorable – increased to Rs 208.8 against Rs 206.2 in the March quarter and Rs 181.7 in the June quarter of FY25. The 5G user base crossed the 200-million mark during the quarter and now stands at 213 million as of June 2025.
Revenue from operations jumped 19 per cent to Rs 35,032 crore, driven by strong subscriber momentum across mobility and homes, increased customer engagement and growth in the digital services business, according to the earnings statement by parent Reliance Industries.
Mukesh Ambani, Chairman and Managing Director of Reliance Industries, said: 'Our digital services business consolidated its market position with a robust financial and operational performance.' Margins rose to 51.8 per cent in the June quarter, with the company attributing the 210 basis point rise to operational leverage and sharp gaze on cost efficiencies.
Reliance Jio Infocomm – the telecom unit – posted a 23.2 per cent increase in net profit at Rs 6,711 crore in Q1FY26, while revenue from operations grew 16.6 per cent to Rs 30,882 crore.
Akash Ambani, Chairman of Reliance Jio Infocomm, said: 'Jio continues to create unparalleled technology infrastructure and is extending its leadership in 5G and fixed broadband. This will be pivotal in driving AI adoption in the country.' Jio ended the quarter with 498 million subscribers, with 9.9 million net additions in Q1FY26.
The per capita data consumption stood at 37 GB/month, and total data traffic grew 24 per cent YoY during Q1FY26.
'Strong subscriber addition momentum was driven by continued market share gains in mobility and record home connects,' the company said. JioAirFiber is now the largest FWA (Fixed Wireless Access) service globally with a subscriber base of about 7.4 million, according to the telco.
Jio said it has reached the 20 million connected premises mark with fixed broadband.
Among the quarter highlights, Jio cited the launch of JioGames Cloud, a 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 any additional hardware. During the quarter, Jio also introduced JioPC, a next-gen AI ready cloud computer. PTI MBI MBI SHW

Delhi govt likely to do away with need for health trade licence from MCD to open eateries
No immediate reaction from the Delhi government or the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) was available on the development. Lt Governor V K Saxena, speaking at the 'Expresso' event hosted by The Indian Express on Friday, said the requirement of the license for opening restaurants in the city is being abolished. New Delhi, Jul 19 (PTI) In a measure to boost the hospitality sector in the national capital, the Delhi government is likely to soon do away with the requirement of obtaining a health trade licence from the civic body for opening restaurants and eateries in the city. Recently, the Delhi government did away with the need to obtain 'Eating House Registration and Lodging Certificate' from the police by hotels, clubs, restaurants and guest houses for getting a license to serve liquor. The L-G, last month, withdrew the sanction granted to the Delhi Police Commissioner for the issuance of the eating house registration certificate under an ease-of-doing-business initiative. Speaking at the 'Expresso' event, Saxena emphasised promoting ease of doing business and said the MCD licenses would not be required by the restaurants. Currently, obtaining a health trade license from the MCD to open restaurants in Delhi is a must. The process consumes several weeks of paperwork and follow-up activity, said a restaurateur. If this requirement is removed, now only fire safety permission will be required if anyone wants to open a restaurant in Delhi, he said.

Operators of app-based cabs suspend strike in Mumbai for three days
The Maharashtra Gig Kamgar Manch on Saturday suspended the ongoing strike of drivers of app-based taxis in Mumbai and other cities of Maharashtra for three days. Keshav Nana Kshirsagar, president of the association, told PTI that the strike, which started on Wednesday, was being suspended till next Tuesday to give time to the Maharashtra government to respond to their demands. "We have only suspended the strike, not called it off. If our demands are not accepted by Tuesday, services will be shut again," he said. At a meeting with the association's representatives, transport department officials sought time till Tuesday, said Kshirsagar. In the meantime, app-based cabs will charge the rate fixed by the government for the conventional black-and-yellow taxis and not the rate appearing in the apps of cab aggregators (such as Ola or Uber), he said. He also urged commuters and drivers to use a fare calculation website based on official government rates, to avoid overcharging. The Maharashtra Gig Kamgar Manch has demanded rationalisation of fares, bringing fares on par with those of the black-and-yellow metered cabs, prohibition of bike taxis, a cap on permits of black-and-yellow cabs and auto rickshaws, formation of a welfare board for drivers of app-based cabs and enactment of the 'Maharashtra Gig Workers' Act' on the lines of other states.
