Reliance Jio is a brand name used by the Indian telecommunications firm Jio Infocomm Limited, which is a subsidiary of Jio Platforms and has its headquarters in Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. Jio does business as Jio. It manages a nationwide LTE network that provides coverage for all 22 telecom circles. Jio's current services include 4G and 4G+, but the company is actively trying to expand its offerings to include 5G and 6G as well.

On December 27, 2015, Jio had a soft launch with a beta test for its partners and staff. On September 5, 2016, the service was made accessible to the general public. With around 42.62 crore (426.2 million) members, it is the biggest mobile network provider in India and the third largest mobile network operator in the world.

Jio began supplying fibre optic internet, television, and telephone services to customers' homes in September 2019, after the introduction of its fibre to the house service. The sale of about 33 percent of Reliance Industries' equity investment in Jio Platforms resulted in the company raising around 1.65 lakh crore (US$22 billion) as of September 2020.
