Jio extends its ‘unlimited offer’ with free JioHotstar access. What are the key benefits for its users?

After a strong response during the cricket season, Jio has extended its ‘Unlimited Offer’ this quarter, offering users on Rs 299 and above plans a 90-day free JioHotstar subscription in 4K for TV and mobile, along with a 50-day free trial of JioFiber or AirFiber for home use against a refundable deposit of Rs 500.

Jio Platforms reported strong financial and operational performance for the quarter ended June 2025, with EBITDA rising 23.9% year-on-year to ₹18,135 crore. Net profit grew 24.8% to ₹7,110 crore. The company added 9.9 million net subscribers during the quarter, supported by gains in the mobility segment and record additions in home broadband connections. Monthly churn stood at 1.8%, while total subscriber base reached 498.1 million as of June 30, 2025.

JioTrue5G users crossed the 200-million mark, reaching 212 million by the end of the quarter. Fixed broadband connections touched nearly 20 million, and JioAirFiber became the world’s largest fixed wireless access (FWA) service with 7.4 million subscribers.

Jio also launched JioGames Cloud, a cloud-based gaming platform offering access to over 500 titles across devices without dedicated hardware. Average revenue per user (ARPU) rose to ₹208.7, aided by tariff hikes and seasonal factors. Per capita data usage reached 37 GB/month, with total data traffic up 24% year-on-year to 54.7 billion GB.
