Jio ARPU Crosses Rs 150 for the First Time

The Mukesh Ambani-owned telco is continuously increasing its ARPU with every passing quarter. At the end of Q2 FY21, Jio had an ARPU of Rs 145, but it has increased to Rs 151 at the end Q3 FY21. This is also led by robust customer addition of 25.1 million. Jio says the customer addition number is given after removing the inactive and MNP users. The telco also registered higher churn during the quarter at 1.63% due to the continued impact of COVID-19.

During Q3 FY21, the average data consumption per user on Reliance Jio network was 12.9GB and the average voice consumption per user was at 796 minutes per month. Jio also mentioned that its FTTH services witnessed increased uptake during the quarter on the back of affordable and unique offerings.
