The telco will invite Reliance Jio users from these cities to join the welcome offer where they will be able to enjoy unlimited data experience at more than 1Gbps speed.

“We have stepped up the speed and intensity of True 5G rollout across the nation because we want every Jio user to enjoy the transformational benefits of Jio True 5G technology in the new year 2023.
