**Reliance Jio’s Strong Performance Anticipated in Q1FY26 Results**
Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd, the leading telecom operator in India by market share, is projected to report a solid performance for the June quarter of FY26, bolstered by significant subscriber growth and promotional initiatives during the Indian Premier League (IPL), according to analysts. The company provided a complimentary 90-day JioHotstar subscription and free trials for its fiber broadband and fixed wireless access (FWA) services, enhancing user engagement during this period.
Key Highlights Ahead of Q1FY26 Results
As Reliance Jio and its parent company, Reliance Industries Ltd, prepare to announce their Q1FY26 results on July 18, several key factors are under scrutiny:
**Profit and Earnings Projections**
Analysts estimate that Reliance Jio’s standalone revenue from operations will increase by 2.9% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) and 16.6% year-on-year (YoY), reaching approximately ₹30,900 crore. This follows a 2.4% sequential revenue growth in the previous March quarter. The company’s net profit is expected to rise by 2.2% QoQ and 25% YoY, amounting to around ₹6,788 crore, based on estimates from two brokerage firms. Axis Securities noted that “Jio is expected to see the fastest top-line growth, supported by strong net additions.”
Jio Platforms, which encompasses Reliance Industries Ltd’s telecom and digital services, is anticipated to report a 3.4% QoQ and 19.4% YoY revenue growth, totaling ₹35,147 crore for the June quarter. Net profit for Jio Platforms is projected to increase by 5.6% QoQ and 30.1% YoY, reaching ₹7,416 crore.
**Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) and Subscriber Growth**
For Jio, the average revenue per user (ARPU) is expected to be ₹209.3, reflecting a 1.6% sequential increase. This growth is attributed to the addition of 5G FWA services and a higher number of billing days during the quarter, as noted by Centrum Broking. According to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai), Jio’s FWA subscriber base reached 6.88 million by the end of May, capturing an impressive 82% market share. Analysts at IIFL Securities indicated that Jio was on the verge of becoming the largest global player in the fixed wireless access sector by the end of May, with expectations of surpassing T-Mobile in June.
