@airindia At least have cogent responses rather than cookie cutter copy pastes. You run the worst airline on the planet. Merging a grade 1 airline (Vistara) with a Grade 2 airline (air india) you have made it a grade 3 product! Bad weather lasted 1 hour. Your flight took off after 6 hrs

Air India flight AI 2963 today 15th December delayed from 9 am to 1400 hrs. Passengers in the aircraft for the past 3 hrs. No food, water and now waiting because flights are being merged. Irate customers everywhere and the @DGCAIndia , #AirIndia, @MoCA_GoI and @RamMNK all asleep!

Hmm… Leader of Opposition says this!!! The #election season brings out the worst rhetoric each time sinking to a new low. While they go at each other mudslinging on organizations that bring great repute, jobs and pay huge taxes for national development are dragged into mosh pits

Reliance AR in 7 bullet points**

1. Contribution to national exchequer crosses Rs 5 trillion for last three years. Crossed Rs 5 lakh crore in the three years from FY21 to FY23. At Rs 177,173 crore in FY23, marginally down from Rs 188,012 crore of FY22. Continues to be the largest taxpayer in India, at Rs 1,77,173 by way of various direct & indirect taxes. This was over 5% of Indian government’s budgeted expenditure for last three years

2. Expansion in patents portfolio
> Filed 171 patent applications during FY23 out of which 141 Patents were granted
> Spent over Rs 3,001 crore in FY23 towards R&D. This was 15% higher than the spending in FY22

3. Exports were Rs 3,40,048 crore (US$ 41.4 billion), a 33.4% jump from FY22 exports. Led by higher price realisations despite lower downstream product volumes. With India’s merchandise exports crossing $447 billion, Reliance represented 9.2% of that

4. Third year in a row RIL Chairman Mukesh Ambani draws no salary. In June 2020, Ambani had voluntarily decided to forego his salary for year 2020-21. He continued to do in 2021-22 as well as 2022-23. He did not avail any allowances, perquisites, retiral benefits, commission or stock options from Reliance for his role as CMD. (Had his salary capped at Rs 15 crore since 2008-09 in order to set a personal example of moderation in managerial compensation levels)

5. Adds 2.6 lakh new hires in FY2022-23 as growth picks up. Out of this, 1.8 lakh in Reliance Retail, while 70.5 thousand joined Jio. This took RIL’s total workforce strength to 3.89 lakh at end FY23, net of voluntary separations

6. jiobp EV charging business is leading from the front. Partnering with automobile sector, real estate and mall developers, e-commerce players, fleet operators, corporates to create a robust public EV charging infrastructure, battery swapping net
> Public charge points at 1,400+ across 8 cities, major highways. Expected to grow multifold again

7. Accelerates s progress on Net Zero journey; achieves net reduction in air emissions despite growing energy consumption. CEMS enables adherence to local standards for SOx, NOx, & TPM
> 115% jump in its renewable energy consumption. Dahej & Hazira generated 6.1 million GJ of renewable energy, accounting for over 90% of the green energy produced in the fiscal
> A net 2.53 million GJ energy savings during FY23 through conservation efforts
> New Energy Council, a group of leading global technocrats & thought leaders, to accelerate its transition
• Energy efficiency improvement initiatives resulted in energy savings of 2.5 million GJ for RIL, against 2.11 million GJ in FY22.

While India leads the 5G revolution on one side with the transformational Jio True 5G network, there is a section of our society that’s unable to reap the benefits of digital tech in entirety

We still have 250 mn mobile subscribers trapped in the 2G era with feature phones. These do not provide access to internet, especially at a time when access to tech is a necessity which also uplifts one’s livelihood & economic well-being

Lately, digital disempowerment & disparity for these feature phone users has become worse, with other telecom operators hiking the minimum price to stay connected by more than twice. Even basic voice services for a 30-day period, which used to cost Rs 99 previously, now costs Rs 199

This segment is most exploited by incumbent operators because users in this segment are unable to afford smartphones. Not only do these users face the issue of affordability but also restriction from accessing digital services

ROLE OF JIO BHARAT PHONE:
1. Of empowering every Indian with the power of digital services, especially those who cannot afford a smartphone
2. Digital Freedom for the 250 million feature phone users
3. High quality, affordable data will be within the reach of the common man
4. Capabilities for different segments of society to achieve more by doing more

JIO BHARAT PLANS:
Mr. Akash Ambani said, “6 years ago, when Jio was launched, we made it clear that we will leave no stone unturned to democratise internet & pass the benefits of tech to every Indian. Tech will no longer remain a privilege for a select few. Jio Bharat phone is another step in that direction. It is at the centre of innovation & continues to demonstrate our focus on bringing disproportionate & true value for different segments of users with meaningful, real-life use cases.
At Jio, we have & will continue to take bold steps to eradicate this DIGITAL DIVIDE & welcome every Indian to JOIN THIS MOVEMENT. We CARE for every citizen of our nation, & we will go the extra mile to ensure every single person reaps the benefits of this DIGITAL SOCEITY that our great nation is turning into”
