Akash Ambani says Jio can raise tariffs before IPO

2026-10-15 · 1 source · Economic Times Markets

In short

Akash Ambani said Jio could raise mobile tariffs, but he wants more growth from digital services, broadband and business solutions. The comment came ahead of Jio’s Rs 30,213 crore IPO, and the company wants to reach 100 million homes.

This matters because investors will be watching how Jio plans to grow profits before the listing. It is still not clear when, or by how much, tariffs may rise.

What the reporting says

Akash Ambani said Jio can raise mobile tariffs but prefers to grow revenue through digital services, broadband and enterprise solutions ahead of a Rs 30,213 crore IPO. He also said Jio aims to expand margins and connect 100 million homes, according to the publisher summary. The immediate consequence is a clearer growth pitch for investors, while the timing and extent of any tariff hike were not stated.
