The telecom operator has also expanded high-speed broadband connectivity to smaller towns and villages across Odisha, helping extend digital services and internet access to rural communities.
Since its commercial launch in Odisha in 2016, Jio has witnessed rapid subscriber growth. From 5.8 lakh users in its first month of operations in September 2016, its subscriber base has grown to around 1.85 crore by July 2026, representing an addition of nearly 1.8 crore subscribers over the past decade.
As of July 2026, Jio accounted for more than 47.4 per cent of Odisha’s 3.9 crore wireless connections, according to the company.
