Reliance Jio Offer Extended Till 31st March 2017: Confirmed by Mukesh Ambani

At an occasion on Thursday, Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani made various declarations about Reliance Jio and said that the organization will develop its free administrations by an additional three months.

Ambani said, “Starting December 4, 2016, every new Jio user will get the data, voice, and a full bouquet of the Jio apps free till 31 March 2017, This is the Jio Happy New Year Offer. All our existing 52 million users will continue to enjoy the Welcome Offer till 31 December, and then automatically be signed up for the New Year Offer. No need to buy a new SIM.”

The head honcho also mentioned that “Jio has been taking a lot of feedback from users, and making changes according to this - including new Aadhaar based services that will be powered by the same infrastructure as the eKYC activation.”

Amid the declaration, Ambani uncovered that 80 percent of its present users spent 1GB data for every day, while 20 percent took the data consumption to a higher level, which winds up blocking the system. In this manner, Reliance Jio has reported another FUP farthest point of 1GB, which if used will bring about slower speeds.

After which the speculations arose that the Jio offer might get extended as Jio claimed that customers faced "quality of service issues due to interconnection congestion", and told Trai that until "we are in a position where we can deliver the quality of service as desired by the Jio management, it will be unfair to charge the customer.”

He sorted out the reason that “With 52 million customers, taking full advantage of the free Welcome Offer, it has caused slowdowns, but only on 8 percent of our towers," he said. And 92 percent of our customers and towers have been experiencing high data speeds.”

After the dispatch of Reliance Jio in September, the organization has seen a blended gathering, with long queues for SIM cards, and numerous grumblings about slow speeds. In the meantime, Ambani additionally asserted that about 900 crore voice calls from Jio were hindered by different telcos, and included that Jio thanks the administration and Trai for implementing the permit conditions. He assured that “call block rates have come down from over 90 percent to nearly 20 percent yesterday, and we are working with all operators to bring this limit within 0.2 percent.”

RIL Chairman Mukesh Ambani also revealed some statistics regarding the telecom venture that, “ Jio has signed up 6 lakh customers every day for three months, thanks to eKYC, On average, a Jio customer is using 25 times the data that an average broadband user consumes." In the three months since the launch, it has seen millions of Indians signing up, and he hopes millions more will join soon.”

“there are 2 lakh eKYC outlets - "nearly equal to the total number of ATMs in India, and that there will be 4 lakh outlets by March 2017.” he added.

He told that “We are the fastest growing technology company, not only in India, but in the history of the world, in the three months, it's grown faster than Facebook, or WhatsApp, and the fastest growing LTE network.”
