Earlier this week, Akash Ambani, Chairman, Reliance Jio Infocomm, said that they will celebrate 'Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav' with a pan-India 5G rollout.
"Jio is committed to offering world-class, affordable 5G and 5G-enabled services.

With 'Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav,' Prime Minister Narendra Modi has shared his vision of building a new Aatmanirbhar Bharat by the year 2022. The initiative is to celebrate and commemorate 75 years of independence and the history of people, culture and achievements.
