As of March 31, 2025, Jio had 485 granted patents, establishing itself as one of India’s top patent holders, especially in areas such as 5G, 6G, AI, and IoT.
Key Highlights
- Patent Filing Pace Rockets
Jio averaged more than four new patent filings every single day in FY25 — a clear testament to its deep-tech momentum. - Doubling the Patent Portfolio
With over 3,341 applications on record, Jio has more than doubled its cumulative patent count within just one year. - Strong Focus on Core Technologies
Jio’s intellectual assets emphasize foundational areas like 5G, 6G, AI, large language models (LLMs), Deep Learning, Big Data, IoT, and related innovations. - R&D Investment on the Rise
Jio’s parent, Reliance Industries, ramped up R&D spending to ₹4,185 crore in FY25 — a 15% increase over the previous year — underscoring its strategic shift toward deep technology. - From Tech Consumer to Producer
