Consolidates leadership position in all 22 circles by acquiring the right to use spectrum in the 700MHz, 800MHz, 1800MHz, 3300MHz, and 26GHz bands. Jio’s unique 700 MHz spectrum footprint will make it the only operator providing True 5G services across India.
Jio, India’s largest digital services provider, recently acquired spectrum in the 700MHz, 800MHz, 1800MHz, 3300MHz, and 26GHz bands in the auctions conducted by the Department of Telecommunications, Government of India.
The acquisition of the right to use this spectrum will enable Jio to build the World’s most advanced 5G network and further strengthen India’s global leadership in wireless broadband connectivity. Jio’s 5G network will enable the next generation of digital solutions that will accelerate India’s AI-driven march towards becoming a US$ 5+ trillion economy.
Launched just six years ago, Jio has created multiple world records during its rollout of the largest 4G network in the shortest period of time. Jio’s 4G network provides the highest quality, most affordable digital services to over 400 million loyal and delighted customers. Jio will now raise the bar even further with its 5G services.
Jio has been a front-runner in embracing technologies of the future and unlocking their full potential for the benefit of India, Indians, and Indian businesses. Jio has demonstrated its visionary commitment yet again, as India enters the 5G era. As with Jio 4G which blurred the line between Bharat and India and provided every Indian with the best connectivity at the most affordable price globally, Jio 5G will ensure that every Indian gets to access the most transformative digital services and platforms offered anywhere in the world.
Jio’s 5G solution is made in India, by Indians and to suit the need of every Indian. Jio is fully ready for 5G rollout in the shortest period of time because of its nationwide fiber presence, all-IP network with no legacy infrastructure, indigenous 5G stack, and strong global partnerships across the technology ecosystem.
“We have always believed that India will become a leading economic power in the world by adopting the power of breakthrough technologies. This was the vision and conviction that gave birth to Jio. The speed, scale and societal impact of Jio’s 4G rollout is unmatched anywhere in the world. Now, with a bigger ambition and stronger resolve, Jio is set to lead India’s march into the 5G era.
We will celebrate ‘Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav’ with a pan India 5G rollout. Jio is committed to offering world-class, affordable 5G and 5G-enabled services. We will provide services, platforms and solutions that will accelerate India’s digital revolution, especially in crucial sectors like Education, Healthcare, Agriculture, Manufacturing, and e-Governance and make another proud contribution to Honourable Prime Minister’s DIGITAL INDIA MISSION.”

Jio has acquired a unique combination of low-band, mid-band, and mmWave spectrum, which coupled with our deep fiber network and indigenous technology platforms, will enable us to provide 5G Everywhere and 5G For All (consumers and enterprises).
With its unmatched 700 MHz spectrum footprint, Jio will be the only operator providing pan-India True 5G services with faster speeds, lower latency and massive connectivity.
The enhanced network capacity would address the rapidly growing data demand on the Jio network which already carries one of the highest wireless data traffic in the world. Jio’s extensive fiber-based offering, now supplemented by a wireless home offering, will catapult India to leadership in-home broadband services in the same way that Jio took India to global leadership in mobility services.
