Reliance Industries Ltd. (RIL) has recalibrated its telecom play by discontinuing Jio’s ₹249 entry-level plan, nudging customers towards the ₹299 base pack offering 1.5 GB/day. The move lifted RIL shares 2.17% to ₹1,411, with analysts predicting a boost to average revenue per user (ARPU). “Tariff rationalisation is essential for long-term profitability,” said a Mumbai-based telecom consultant.
Beyond telecom, Reliance Consumer Products Ltd. (RCPL) acquired a majority stake in Naturedge Beverages to strengthen its herbal and natural drinks portfolio. In a separate corporate update, Reliance NeuComm, a subsidiary registered in Texas, has been voluntarily wound up.
The diversified bets highlight RIL’s dual focus – driving telecom monetisation while widening its consumer footprint.
