ARPU reaches ₹214, 5G users hit 268 million, and EBITDA margin expands 230 basis points to 52.4%, Jio’s highest margin in at least six quarters.
Jio Platforms reported on April 25, 2026, that net profit for the quarter ended March 31 rose 13% year-on-year to ₹7,935 crore, up from ₹7,022 crore in Q4 FY25.
Revenue from operations reached ₹44,928 crore, a 12.7% increase over the year-ago quarter, while EBITDA grew 17.9% to ₹20,060 crore, with margins expanding 230 basis points to 52.4%. For the full fiscal year 2026, the company posted annual revenue of ₹1,72,317 crore and annual profit after tax of ₹30,053 crore.
ARPU improvement and subscriber additions
Average revenue per user rose 3.8% year-on-year to ₹214 in Q4 FY26, up from ₹206.2 in Q4 FY25. Jio attributed the gain to higher customer engagement and a better-quality subscriber mix, partially offset by fewer billing days in the quarter.
The total subscriber base crossed 524 million during January–March 2026. Jio added 9.1 million net subscribers in the period, with monthly churn stable at 1.7%. The ARPU improvement was also supported by the growing share of home broadband connections bundled with higher-value plans.
5G network and fixed broadband expansion
Jio’s 5G subscriber base reached 268 million as of March 2026, added entirely during FY26, when the company recorded approximately 75 million net 5G additions for the year. The 5G tier now carries 55% of all wireless data traffic on the network.
Fixed broadband additions totalled around 10 million for the full FY26, with JioAirFiber, the company’s wireless home broadband product, reaching 13 million subscribers of the 27.1 million total. Total data traffic on the network grew 35% year-over-year to 66 Exabytes in Q4, with per capita consumption at 42.3 GB per month.
Strategic direction and near-term outlook
Akash Ambani, Chairman of Reliance Jio Infocomm, said on April 25 that Jio intends to evolve beyond mobile connectivity into a digital and AI services platform. The company said its 5G and edge compute infrastructure will underpin AI-driven services for consumers, homes, and businesses, though no revenue targets or financial projections for this shift were disclosed in the earnings release.
For Q1 FY27, Jio flagged the Indian Premier League 2026 season as a near-term demand driver. The company has launched “JioHome Cricket Season Packs” broadband bundles tied to the tournament to accelerate home connects during the high-engagement period. Separately, Mukesh Ambani, Chairman of Reliance Industries, said an IPO for Jio Platforms is under active consideration; no timeline was confirmed.
