New Delhi:Jio Platforms on Friday reported a net profit of Rs 7,110 crore for the June quarter, a nearly 25 per cent rise over the year-ago period, as its numbers were bolstered by customer adds, improved realisations per user and data traffic growth.
The Q1FY26 report card of JPL, the entity that houses Reliance Industries' telecom and digital businesses, ticked all the boxes on key metrics, as gross revenue climbed 19 per cent year-on-year (YoY) to Rs 41,054 crore, and margins improved.

Revenue from operations jumped 19 per cent to Rs 35,032 crore, driven by strong subscriber momentum across mobility and homes, increased customer engagement and growth in the digital services business, according to the earnings statement by parent Reliance Industries.
Mukesh Ambani, Chairman and Managing Director of Reliance Industries, said: "Our digital services business consolidated its market position with a robust financial and operational performance."
Margins rose to 51.8 per cent in the June quarter, with the company attributing the 210 basis point rise to operational leverage and sharp gaze on cost efficiencies.

The per capita data consumption stood at 37 GB/month, and total data traffic grew 24 per cent YoY during Q1FY26.
