Statement from Reliance Industries
In light of recent remarks about Reliance and the Indian market, we wish to place the facts on record.
Like every Indian enterprise, Reliance has grown in an India that welcomes investment and innovation, homegrown or international, that improve the lives of the people.
That openness rests on the rule of law. As the Government of India has stated, it applies the same process to every applicant, Indian or foreign. Jio's own satellite services await clearances.
At Reliance, we have never feared competition. We see it as the truest test of who serves the customer best. Jio itself entered India's crowded telecom market in 2016 as the newest player, with not a single customer. In just ten years, Jio has earned the trust of over 530 million customers and given Indians some of the best digital infrastructure and most affordable data in the world.
We welcome competition in satellite communications, including Starlink. Every player, Jio included, must serve the people of India and abide by the laws and policies of the land.
Outrageous ball from Tom Taylor 🤯
First ball of the innings and George Thomas has no idea.
This is why cricket is the best sport.
Be honest… would you have survived this?
सौरभ द्विवेदी के साथ अमेरिका में कांग्रेस के covert war room में सेशन लेके आए और वर्तमान में कॉम्ग्रेस सोशल मीडिया के वन ऑफ़ रणनीतिकार ज़्यादा सही इंट्रोडक्शन रहता..
Democracy is dead in India!
I have lost a 500-ruper note and I believe my neighbour stole it. I don't have any proof that he did, but he, too, is not proving that he didn't. I am thinking of marching to Delhi to demand resignation of the RBI Governor.
Elon Musk spent $290 million to elect Trump. It paid off.
Since his election, Musk got $696 billion richer & became the world’s 1st trillionaire.
But that’s not enough.
Now, Musk is spending $366 million to keep Republicans in control of Congress.
STOP MUSK. STOP OLIGARCHY.
BIG NEWS 🚨 Saurav Das lost his cool on journalists for asking questions on Punjab.
REPORTER : Supreme Court declared elections to 50 wards in Punjab invalid. Will you go to Punjab?
SAURAV DAS : Got your question. We will just focus on CEC.
Elections were ACTUALLY STOLEN by Aam Aadmi Party across 50 municipal wards in Punjab, and SC ended up cancelling them.
That’s what you do when voti chori happens. Take it to courts, get the elections cancelled.
Not MISLEAD public into narratives of nationwide election stolen by BJP, for which your evidence is “everyone in India knows.” Sheer charlatans.
If Ambani has any shame left
He should hire 10,000 software engineers in India by paying 50 LPA salary
To build alternative X (twitter), Instagram, WhatsApp, Cloud like AWS-Azure-GCP, ChatGPT
All he has to do is to divert funds from his one ice-cream company to IT company
I am genuinely stunned that hardly anyone has shown any intent to protest against the flawed reservation system or even raise their voice against it.
Unfortunately, there’s no funding for such causes.
I am all for reservation based on financial need, to help people uplift themselves. But reservation for people living in bungalows? 🤦🏼♂️
Mr. Musk, yes, no billionaire should dictate a nation’s policy - Indian or American.
India must welcome competition in satellite internet, from Indian and global providers, whoever offers the most practical and affordable last-mile solution for those in remote regions. In countries with lower per-capita incomes, satellite internet must be affordable too. High subscription fees and equipment costs risk putting it beyond the reach of ordinary households. Connectivity must bridge the digital divide, not create a new one.
India knows our networks and spectrum are strategic infrastructure, not merely commercial assets. India’s national security safeguards are non-negotiable.
Every country makes choices based on its own interests. Those in the West cannot preach free markets while practicing protectionism at home. USA imposed 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs to protect its domestic industry, just as India takes measures to protect its own domestic manufacturers. Both India and the US have restricted Huawei over security concerns. One cannot demand a level playing field from others only when it suits its own agenda.
Indians will internally debate, question and address our strengths and shortcomings as a democratic country.
Take BharatNet, India’s programme to bring broadband to village-level local bodies. We will question why, as the CAG’s 2026 audit report found, the programme is struggling to meet its original objectives. Why were only 33.2% of service-ready Gram Panchayats operational, despite ₹39,888 crore being spent? At the same time, we know to appreciate our telecom sector and regulations, which has made internet data among the world’s most affordable, bringing millions online.
India is a democracy, not a colony. We welcome the world, but we, the Indian people, will decide our own future - not Western vested interests, their double standards or any billionaire - Indian or American.
