1QFY21’s output was obviously subdued except for Jio ‘s success on account of the COVID-19 effects.

RIL ‘s emphasis on moving from O2C to Tech-based telecommunications and retail firms have enormous growth prospects because only few players participate in this sector. Actually, Jio tends to be a favored option for customers with strong double-digit growth in user additions relative to low single-digit or negative price growth owing to affordability and better service.
