Background
Jio launched its fiber broadband service, Jio GigaFiber, after expanding from feature phones into home connectivity. The service was unveiled at Reliance Industries’ 42nd AGM in 2019, with a beta trial beginning in August and a commercial roll-out planned for September 5. At the AGM, Jio indicated entry-level pricing near Rs 700 and high-end packages stretching up to Rs 10,000 for heavy users.
Plans and welcome offer
Jio introduced multiple plan tiers, with reported price points in some markets (for example, Mumbai) including Rs 500, 750, 999, 1,299 and 1,500—actual pricing and availability vary by location. As a launch incentive, Jio offered HD/4K set-top boxes and TVs to customers who subscribed to annual Jio GigaFiber plans; this welcome hardware offer was not extended to monthly subscriptions.
Jio Home Phone
Jio Home provides an affordable landline-style service for homes, positioned as a low-cost alternative to conventional wired home phones and bundled voice services.
Set-top box and gaming
The Jio set-top box was designed to support gaming alongside TV and streaming. Jio announced partnerships with gaming companies such as Tencent, Microsoft and Gameloft to bring games and richer interactive content to the living-room experience.
Mixed reality and HoloBoard
Jio has been developing mixed reality (MR) capabilities—blending virtual and augmented reality—to enable immersive home theater, virtual shopping and other experiences. The company showcased a device called HoloBoard aimed at MR use cases; pricing and broader availability were not disclosed at the time of the announcement.
First-Day-First-Show and content
Jio proposed a First-Day-First-Show model to make new movie releases available to subscribers on release day, expanding its content strategy and making high-value content a feature of its broadband ecosystem.
Internet of Things (IoT)
Beyond connectivity and entertainment, Jio described plans to build IoT solutions to support smart-home products, enterprise applications and India’s broader digital initiatives.
