Reliance Jio, India’s largest telecom operator, is commemorating its ninth anniversary with an unprecedented set of offers to thank its over 500 million subscribers—a milestone that puts Jio ahead of the combined populations of the United States, UK, and France.
Anniversary Offers Unveiled
Starting September 5, Jio will provide three days of unlimited 5G data for all 5G smartphone users, regardless of their active plan. Meanwhile, 4G smartphone users can opt for a ₹39 data add-on to enjoy unlimited data with a fair usage limit of 3GB per day. The hub of this celebration is the Rs 349 ‘Celebration Plan’—valid from September 5 to October 5—granting unlimited 5G data, additional digital gold benefits, and vouchers worth ₹3,000 for OTT subscriptions (JioHotstar, JioSaavn Pro), shopping, travel, and more. Existing users on lower-value plans can add ₹100 to unlock all premium rewards.
JioHome users have not been left out. The Rs 1,200 JioHome Celebration Plan delivers two months of unlimited 30 Mbps broadband, access to over 1,000 TV channels, subscriptions to 12+ OTT apps, a WiFi-6 router, 4K set-top box, Amazon Prime Lite trial, extra digital gold, and vouchers for fashion, medicine, and travel. Annual mobile subscribers who recharge with the Rs 349 plan for 12 consecutive months receive the 13th month free—setting a new benchmark in loyalty rewards.
Industry Impact and Growth
Jio’s offers have energized the telecom sector, with industry experts expecting competitive responses from rivals as Jio’s aggressive pricing and rich benefits continue to attract mobile and broadband customers. The company’s achievements—including free nationwide calls, rapid digital payment adoption, support for India’s public infrastructure (Aadhaar, UPI), and the fastest 5G rollout globally—have helped shape India into the world’s third largest startup ecosystem.
User Reactions Positive
Social media abounds with positive user feedback as millions celebrate Jio’s rewards and digital transformation. Customers are praising the free unlimited data, OTT bundles, and straightforward redemption of vouchers, with new JioHome signups reportedly surging. Jio’s annual offer and month-long premiums are especially popular among younger users and business customers looking for maximum value.
