As per the data, Jio added over 1.88 lakh new mobile subscribers in Odisha, in the month of October 2023.

It is worth mentioning that Reliance Jio has been the most preferred digital service provider in Odisha with the highest 44 per cent subscriber market share and the highest 52 per cent revenue market share in the industry. As the No.1 digital service provider in Odisha, Jio has been rapidly expanding its True 5G network and high-speed broadband service JioFiber across Odisha and is the first telecom operator to ensure 5G network presence in all districts of the state.
Jio also launched JioAirFiber services, its integrated end-to-end solution for world-class latest home entertainment, smart home services and high-speed broadband, in Odisha, recently. JioAirFiber helps overcome the challenges of last-mile connectivity and connect every home and small business, which earlier didn’t have access to quality home broadband, due to the complexities and delays involved in extending optical-fiber to their premises. JioAirFiber is now available in the twin cities of Bhubaneswar and Cuttack, wherein all homes, and businesses across both the cities can now enjoy world-class latest home entertainment, broadband and digital experience, delivered through one integrated service.
