Why Jio Is Delaying Mobile Tariff Hikes?
Jio has decided not to rely only on mobile tariff hikes to boost its average revenue per user (ARPU).
The company hopes to drive revenue through digital services, deeper client engagement and more consumption of its existing products.
The industry has been expecting a revision of the tariff for more than a year now, especially as telecom operators look for better returns on their investments in 5G infrastructure.
Jio’s last broad-based tariff increase was more than two years ago. The company has not provided a specific timeline, however, the market still anticipates another rise of around 15% in FY27.
Its strategy is to organically grow customer spend before another major price revision.

Jio eyes tie-ups with 10-15 international companies
Jio is looking to take its technology business outside India with asset-light international model.
Instead of spending a lot on overseas telecom infrastructure, the company intends to provide technology platforms and managed services to overseas partners.
Overseas, it may supply 5G network technology, fixed wireless access, home broadband solutions and feature-phone operating systems.
The company is looking at 10-15 international partnerships that could provide meaningful scale across developed and emerging markets.
However, overseas business is still in its infancy and does not have an established customer base or revenue contribution.
