Reliance Industries Limited released a statement responding to recent comments about the company and India’s market. The company says it has grown in a country that welcomes investment and innovation from both Indian and foreign sources, as long as these efforts benefit people. Reliance adds that this openness is based on applying the rule of law fairly.
Reliance says the Indian Government uses the same regulatory process for all applicants, whether they are Indian or foreign. The company also notes that Jio’s satellite services are still awaiting approval, suggesting that no one receives special treatment. This helps address concerns about unfair regulation and shows that Reliance follows the same rules as others.
Reliance’s statement highlights its approach to competition. The company says it has never feared rivals and sees competition as the best way to show which provider serves customers best. To support this, Reliance recalls how Jio entered India’s crowded telecom market in 2016 without any customers. Since then, Jio has gained over 530 million users and offered digital services and data at some of the world’s lowest prices. Reliance uses this record to show that success comes from good performance, not from special protection.
Reliance says it welcomes competition in satellite communications, including from Starlink. The company emphasises that all players, including Jio, should focus on serving Indian consumers and follow the country’s laws and policies. While Reliance is open to new technologies and companies, it also insists that everyone must follow the same rules. The company wants to clarify its position as discussions about market access and satellite broadband continue.
The company highlights India’s track record of welcoming investment, applying rules fairly, and Jio’s rise from no customers to a major player as evidence of its commitment to competition. By welcoming Starlink and other companies, and noting that its own satellite applications are still under review, Reliance wants to show it is consistent. The company says it does not seek special treatment or oppose others operating under the same rules. The statement focuses on customer service, building infrastructure, and following set procedures, rather than responding to outside comments. In the broader context of India’s expanding digital and connectivity landscape, the statement reinforces a narrative of maLooking at India’s growing digital and connectivity sector, Reliance’s statement supports the idea of progress driven by the market. With over half a billion users on Jio’s network and more satellite options coming, the company describes a market where many providers can compete as long as they follow the rules and offer value to customers.
This approach makes competition the main measure of success. As satellite services reach more people, the rule of law, equal treatment, and customer-focused performance set a clear standard for judging both current operators and newcomers. The statement ends by saying that all companies, including Jio, should help achieve India’s digital goals while following national laws and policies.
