This is the broadband service of Reliance Jio, Reliance Industries' telecom arm that will be spread in 1,100 cities of India.

"Jio phone has taken the country by storm. We have over 25 million jio phone users in india. We are now taking the jio phone to another level," he said.
"We still lack behind in fixed line broadband and currently stand at 134th in global ranking poor fixed line infra. More than 80 percent internet usage happens indoors in home and offices. So, optical fiber based broadband is the future," he added.
