per user (ARPU)<\/strong> \u2014 a key performance metric \u2014 has shown steady improvement after the tariff hike of 2024.<br>At the end of Q2 FY26, Jio reported an <strong>ARPU of \u20b9211.4<\/strong>, up from \u20b9208.8 in the previous quarter.<br>The company attributed this rise to <strong>increased data consumption<\/strong> and a <strong>reduction in annual plans<\/strong>, which previously dragged down its ARPU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most Jio subscribers are now on <strong>short- to medium-term plans<\/strong>, which have helped the telecom giant sustain

quarter could still be around <strong>4%<\/strong>, reaching \u20b9214 per subscriber.<br>However, the report added that <strong>investors expect Jio to raise tariffs ahead of its proposed
