The company posted an ARPU of ₹208.80 in the previous quarter and ₹195.10 a year

ago.

The rise in ARPU was driven by a growing subscriber base and steady growth in data consumption.

"I wouldn't be surprised, by the end of the financial year, that is the fourth quarter, the current ARPU of ₹211 moves to somewhere in the closed vicinity of around ₹220 so that would be, I think the first key takeaway that one could see," Deven Choksey, MD, Drchoksey Finserv said.

Total subscribers rose to 506.4 million, compared with 498.1 million in the previous quarter and 478.8 million a year earlier, crossing the 500 million milestone for the first time.

Reliance Jio also reported quarterly revenue of ₹31,857 crore, up from ₹30,882 crore in the previous quarter and ₹28,338 crore a year earlier.

EBITDA stood at ₹17,874 crore, compared with ₹17,301 crore in the prior quarter and ₹15,036 crore in the year-ago period, with margins improving slightly to 56.1%, up from 56% sequentially and 53.1% year-on-year.

Jio’s fixed wireless broadband service, JioAirFiber, continued its rapid scale-up, adding over 1 million new homes each month and reaching 9.5 million subscribers, solidifying its global leadership in the segment.

Total data traffic on the network rose 29.8% year-on-year to over 58 exabytes, with 5G now accounting for more than 50% of all wireless traffic. The company said its 5G network, built entirely on standalone architecture, has enabled broadband access to households across the country.

"Digital services business continues to scale-up with positive momentum in subscriber addition across homes and mobility services, driven by Jio’s network and technology leadership," said Mukesh D. Ambani, Chairman and Managing Director of Reliance Industries Ltd. “We continue to augment our capabilities with pioneering systems and platforms, ensuring the benefits of the ever-evolving technology landscape for all Indians.”

Reliance Jio's ongoing investments in 5G rollout, broadband infrastructure, and digital platforms are seen as key drivers of future growth in India’s highly competitive telecom and digital services markets.
