At the 48th Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Reliance Industries on August 29, 2025, Jio announced the launch of its groundbreaking Digital Twin system—a detailed 3D virtual map of India’s infrastructure, designed to streamline broadband deployment across urban and rural areas.
Why the Digital Twin Announcement Matters
Jio’s Digital Twin aims to transform how broadband installations are planned and executed. Instead of physical site visits that previously could take days or weeks, engineers can now use the virtual map to assess conditions, plan installations, and complete activation—all within 24 hours of a customer’s order.
According to Kiran Thomas, CEO of Jio Platforms Limited, the system creates a “living, breathing 3-D model” of every terrain, locality, and building in India, enabling precise and rapid engineering responses from office-based workstations. Firstpost
Key Highlights of Jio’s 3D Digital Twin Tech
- Comprehensive Virtual Mapping: Accurately represents India’s physical infrastructure—including buildings, topography, and local environments.
- Faster Broadband Deployment: Targets installation and activation timelines of under 24 hours, replacing traditional, slow processes.
- Efficient and Remote Planning: Engineers can now plan and evaluate infrastructure needs remotely, reducing costs and delays.
- Multi-Use Potential: Beyond broadband, the virtual 3D model can support urban planning, infrastructure management, and disaster response.
Broader Context: Digital Innovation at Jio
The launch of Digital Twin sits alongside other AI and cloud-first innovations unveiled at the AGM—including Jio AI Cloud 2.0, JioFrames smart glasses, and JioPC virtual desktops. These offerings, combined with strategic partnerships with Google and Meta, underscore Jio’s ambition to drive digital transformation across India.
