Reliance Jio raises tariffs, unveils unlimited plans

Expanding its digital ecosystem, Jio announced the launch of two new applications: JioSafe and JioTranslate

Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd, India’s largest telecom provider, announced a series of new unlimited plans that is set to take effect on July 3.

The company emphasised its commitment to affordable internet access and highlighted its rapidly expanding 5G network, which boasts nearly 85% of India’s operational 5G cells.

The new tariff plans range from Rs 189 for 2 GB per month to Rs 3,599 for 2.5 GB per day annual plan. These plans include unlimited 5G data for all plans with 2GB/day and above.

The company said its “True 5G” network is built on a standalone architecture that promises faster speeds and lower latency compared to non-standalone 5G networks. Unlimited 5G data would be applicable to plans offering 2GB/day or more.

“Ubiquitous, high-quality, affordable internet is the backbone of Digital India and Jio takes pride in contributing to this. Jio will always put our country and customer first and will continue to invest for India,” said Akash M Ambani, Chairman, Reliance Jio.

Jio has significantly contributed to driving data consumption and smartphone adoption across the country. The company’s entry into the market forced rivals to lower tariffs and improve data offerings.

Expanding its digital ecosystem, Jio announced the launch of two new applications: JioSafe and JioTranslate. JioSafe, priced at Rs 199 per month, offers secure calling, messaging, and file transfer. JioTranslate, priced at Rs 99 per month, is powered by artificial intelligence and enables multi-lingual communication by translating voice calls, messages, text, and images. Significantly, Jio is offering both applications free for a year to its users, further enhancing the value proposition of its services.

Disclosure: Moneycontrol is a part of the Network18 group. Network18 is controlled by Independent Media Trust, of which Reliance Industries is the sole beneficiary.
