Reliance Jio GigaFiber launch likely soon: Report

NEW DELHI: About a year after its unveiling in the company’s last annual general meeting (AGM), Reliance Industries is likely to launch Jio GigaFiber services soon, according to a report. Based on fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) technology, Reliance Jio GigaFiber is a combo service that bundles broadband, landline and TV connections. Just like Reliance Jio, which became India’s top mobile service operator in just three years, Jio GigaFiber is also expected to be a market disruptor with its cheap pricing plans.

The commercial launch of fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) services is likely to be announced during RIL AGM on August 12, according to a recent report in The Hindu.

Having announced its decision to lay FTTH network for its broadband services across 1,600 cities in India, Jio is yet to announce its pricing plans.
