Reliance Jio aims to add a million homes to its 5G Fixed Wireless Access or FWA-based broadband every 30 days. It added 1 million AirFiber customers in just 100 days of its launch.

“We are now challenging ourselves to add a million homes every 30 days. With this momentum, we are confident of reaching our target of 100 million home broadband customers at record speed,” Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani said at the 47th RIL AGM on August 29.

He added that Jio is also targeting over 20 million small and medium businesses, providing them with the connectivity they need to thrive in today’s digital age.

Jio launched JioAirFiber, our 5G-based home broadband service, last October. JioAirFiber offers high-speed broadband across India and fulfills customer orders faster than with optical fibre.

“In just over six months, we acquired our first one million air fibre customers. This milestone is remarkable and the fastest of its kind globally. But that was only the beginning. By leveraging our deep-tech capabilities and continuously optimising every process, we acquired the next 1 million air fibre customers in just 100 days,” Ambani said.

Jio is still streamlining our operations and sees the potential to accelerate even further.

He added that Jio sees potential in connecting India’s 1.5 million schools and colleges, over 70,000 hospitals, and 1.2 million doctors to the telco’s high-speed broadband service.

“Imagine the possibilities when every school in India has high-speed internet, enabling digital classrooms, remote learning, and access to vast knowledge. Or consider connected hospitals, where doctors consult global specialists in real-time, access the latest research, and offer the best care. These institutions are our nation’s backbone, and by connecting them, we are building a stronger, more resilient India,” he added.
