Jio Platforms Q2FY26 profit up 12.8% YoY to ₹7,379 cr on higher ARPU, market share gains
Mumbai: Jio Platforms Limited (JPL), the digital and telecom arm of Reliance Industries that operates India’s largest mobile network, posted a net profit of ₹7,379 crore for the second quarter of FY26, marking a 12.8 percent year-on-year (YoY) increase.
The growth was attributed to market share gains across its mobility and home broadband segments, along with a steady improvement in average revenue per user (ARPU).
JPL’s total revenue rose 14.9 percent YoY to ₹42,652 crore in the quarter ended September 2025. On a sequential basis, profit increased 3.8 percent from ₹7,110 crore in Q1FY26, while revenue was up 3.9 percent from ₹41,054 crore recorded in the previous quarter.
Revenue from operations climbed 14.6 percent YoY to ₹36,332 crore, while earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (Ebitda) rose 17.7 percent to ₹18,757 crore, the publication noted.
Jio said its Ebitda margin expanded by 140 basis points year-on-year, driven by improved monetisation and greater operational efficiency.
Jio’s ARPU stood at ₹211.4 in Q2FY26, up 1.24 percent from ₹208.8 in the preceding quarter and 8.4 percent higher from ₹195.1 in the same period last year, reflecting the full impact of recent tariff hikes.
The report added that Jio’s total subscriber base reached 506.4 million by the end of September 2025, of which 234 million were 5G users — more than half its total customers.
The company added 8.3 million new subscribers during the quarter. Jio’s 5G data traffic surged nearly 30 percent year-on-year to 58.4 billion gigabytes (GB), while total voice traffic increased over 5 percent to 1.5 trillion minutes.
