Jio determines to turn UP into a Prosperous State - Mukesh Ambani

The chairman of Reliance Jio Infocomm, Shri Mukesh Ambani has announced that the company will invest a fresh Rs 10,000 crore in Uttar Pradesh over the next three years, and will make available 20 million JioPhones in the next two months in the state.

He was speaking at the UP Investors’ Summit and revealed that RIL had already invested Rs 20,000 crore to build digital infrastructure, and created 40,000 direct and indirect jobs. He promised to create over one lakh job opportunities in the state in the coming years.

“How can India’s most populous state also become India’s most prosperous state? The answer is simple -- by embracing the Digital India Mission. Which is why, Reliance has built a world-class digital infrastructure all over India, including UP, in less than two years. Jio has already created 40,000 direct and indirect jobs in Uttar Pradesh and is now ready to increase the opportunities,” the Reliance Industries chairman said during the inaugural session of the Uttar Pradesh Investors’ Summit 2018.

“Jio’s Digital Revolution is here to extend the maximum contribution to Uttar Pradesh's development through accelerated digital revolution," Mukesh said. "Jio will establish a centre for the fourth industrial revolution within the campus of a reputed university in Uttar Pradesh."

He shared the objective behind launching JioPhone, and said RIL has virtually made the device free — considering a Rs 1,500 upfront deposit refundable after three years — because it wants even the poorest Indian to become digitally accessible and competent. "Therefore, I am happy to announce that Jio will make available over two crore JioPhones in UP within the next two months on a priority basis," he said.

Meanwhile, Adani group Chairman Gautam Adani made some major announcements. “The Adani group will build six lakh tons of storage capacity in the state along with investment in multi model- logistics parks. Also, Adani group will be coming up with 1,000 MW of solar project and a solar park of 5,000 MW capacity. The Adani group will be investing Rs 35,000 crores in the state in the next five years along with setting up a world class multi disciplinary university,” he said.
