In December 2015, Reliance Jio had launched its 4G services, albeit, just for its group employees, and their families. The telco, since then, substantially optimized its network, and is currently testing service offerings across the breadth of the country.

Reliance Jio has previously said that the next fiscal year starting April 1 will be the telco’s first full fiscal year of commercial operations.

Brokerage Morgan Stanley, in its recent note, said that Jio may notch up annual revenue of $6.69 billion (Rs 45,492 crore) by the end of its fourth year of commercial operations and corner 23% of India’s non-voice market.
The US brokerage also estimates Jio will generate $1.7 billion of revenue by the end of 2016-17, which will be its first year of commercial operations if it starts in April.
