Only data consumption is the highest in India, data prices have also fallen from the sky to the ground in the last 6 years. At the time of Jio's launch, customers in their country had to pay around Rs 250 for 1 GB data. The result of Jio's war on data prices is that today i.e. in 2022 it is getting around Rs 13. That is, the prices of data have fallen by about 95 percent within 6 years. This figure is also very special because the prices of data in the world's major economies are the lowest in India.

Reliance Jio remains the backbone of the Indian digital economy. The awareness gained from the government efforts and the cheap data of Jio has given life to the digital economy.

Coming to August 2022, there was a huge increase in this, today UPI transactions are of 10.72 lakh crores. The reason is clear, in the last 6 years, not only did the broadband subscribers increase from 19.23 million (Sept 2016) to nearly 800 million (June 2022), but the average internet speed also increased by 5 times from 5.6 Mbps (March 2016) to 23.16 Mbps (April 2022).

Today India is home to 105 unicorn companies. Whose valuation is more than $338 billion. Whereas before the launch of Jio, there used to be only 4 unicorn companies in India. Unicorns are actually called startup companies whose net worth crosses 1 billion dollars. In the year 2021, 44 startups have made their place in the list of unicorn companies. The newly created Unicorn attributes its success to Jio. After the bumper listing of unicorn company Zomato in the stock market, Zomato founder and CEO Deepinder Goyal officially thanked Jio. 

5. JioPhone India's First 4G Feature Smartphone 

About 500 million people in the country were using the old and expensive (for calling) 2G technology simply because they did not have the money to buy expensive phones running on 4G technology or they wanted to use the phone with buttons. Jio removed both these problems by launching 4G JioPhone at affordable rates. JioPhone proved to be the most successful mobile phone ever in the Indian market. It has sold more than 11 crore units. Jio has connected millions of marginalized people to the digital world through JioPhone.
