Akash Ambani says Jio can raise tariffs, favors other growth
In short
Akash Ambani said Jio could raise mobile tariffs, but the company prefers to grow through digital services, broadband and enterprise products. This was said ahead of Jio’s Rs 30,213 crore IPO rollout, and Jio wants to connect 100 million homes.
That matters because investors are watching how Jio plans to grow before the listing. The reporting does not say whether tariffs will actually rise or when.
