Ahead of IPO plans, Jio’s spectrum dues decline 4% to ₹1.04 trillion in FY26
New Delhi: Reliance Jio’s payment liability to the department of telecommunications (DoT) stood at ₹1.04 trillion as of March-end, down 4.2% from a year ago as it cleared earlier instalments, according to Reliance Industries Ltd’s FY26 annual report.
The liability remains substantial, primarily due to the company’s historically aggressive spectrum acquisition strategy—most notably during the 2022 5G auction, in which it secured radio frequencies worth ₹88,000 crore.
