In its maiden results following a healthy listing earlier in the week, Jio Platforms on Friday reported 14% growth in consolidated net profit to Rs 8,389 crore on the back of healthy subscriber additions, growth in digital services business and marginal increase in average revenue per user (ARPU).

Revenue from operations increased 11% to Rs 40,475 crore from Rs 36,332 crore a year earlier.

On a sequential basis, profit rose 8% from Rs 7,765 crore posted in the preceding June quarter, while revenue rose 3% quarter-on-quarter.

EBITDA for the quarter increased 17% YoY, driven by revenue growth, operating leverage and margin expansion of 250 bps.

ARPU (Average revenue per user) rose further to Rs 218.8 in the second quarter with promotional schemes for fixed broadband customers offsetting better subscriber mix and increased usage.

"We warmly welcome our new shareholders to the Jio Platforms family as we enter a new era as a listed company. This quarter’s results continue to reflect the strength of our 5G network, and the growing reach of our broadband and digital services," said Akash M Ambani, MD of Jio Platforms.
