Akash Ambani says Jio can raise tariffs before IPO
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.
