This revenue surge was primarily fueled by significant subscriber additions, ARPU growth, and the expansion of digital services. During Q3 FY26, Reliance Jio added 8.9 million net subscribers, demonstrating consistent expansion in its user base. The total 5G subscriber base for Jio reached 253 million as of December 2025, with 5G services now accounting for 53% of the total wireless data traffic. Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortisation (EBITDA) for Jio Platforms saw a 16.4% year-on-year jump, reaching ₹19,303 crore, with the EBITDA margin expanding by 170 basis points to 51.8%. This margin improvement was driven by higher ARPU and operational leverage. Per capita data consumption stood at 40.7 GB per month, with total data traffic growing 34% year-on-year. Monthly churn remained stable at 1.8%. The robust results underline Reliance Jio's continued dominance and growth in the Indian telecommunications and digital services sector.
