NEW DELHI, Apr 24 : Jio Platforms posted a 13 per cent increase in profit after tax (PAT) to Rs 7,935 crore in the March quarter driven by growth in subscriber base and average revenue per user on account of higher engagement with customers, according to an RIL filing.
Reliance Industries Limited Chairman and Managing Director Mukesh D Ambani said Jio continues to transform India’s digital landscape.
“I am happy to note that we are advancing steadily towards the listing of Jio Platforms. This will mark a defining milestone in its journey as it continues to scale new heights and contribute to India’s digital future,” he said.

“Robust full-year EBITDA growth of 19 per cent was driven by continuing traction in mobility, home broadband and enterprise services. As we work to democratise access to AI tools and next-generation technology platforms, Jio is well placed to shape how India communicates, computes and consumes content in the years ahead,” Ambani said.
