What does Reliance’s results mean for the common man?
1. For Jio users: 5G network will be faster, videos will not stop
If you are a Jio user, then there is good news for you. The company continues to invest heavily in 5G networks and infrastructure. This means that in the coming days you will get better 5G speed, call drop problems will be less and video streaming will be without any interruption. Crores of new customers are joining Jio. When the network is larger, the company focuses more on improving connectivity and service in rural areas.
2. Jio AirFiber and Broadband: High-speed internet will reach every home
The company is rapidly expanding the scope of its Jio Fiber (wireless home internet) and fixed broadband. If you live in an area where cable internet is not available, now you will be able to easily get high-speed internet through AirFiber. This will prove helpful for children doing online education and working from home.
3. Reliance Retail: New stores will open, shopping will become easier
Reliance is continuously expanding its retail network and store infrastructure. This means that new Reliance stores (like Reliance Fresh, Smart, Digital or Trends) may open in your nearest cities or areas, giving you more options for shopping. The company is expanding its portfolio of own brands of FMCG i.e. everyday household goods. With the arrival of new and affordable products of Reliance in the market, the common man can get cheap options in times of inflation.
4. New Energy: Cheap electricity may be available in the future
Reliance is working rapidly on its ‘New Energy’ projects and is investing heavily. The company is installing solar panels, green hydrogen and giga-factories on a large scale. In the future, when these projects will be fully operational, the production of clean energy will increase in the country, which will not only improve the environment, but the common man can also get the benefit of cheap electricity and fuel.
5. Petrol-Diesel and LPG (O2C Business): Fuel supply will remain strong in the country.
The performance of Reliance’s oil-to-chemicals (O2C) i.e. refinery business has been strong. Despite fluctuations in global crude oil prices, Reliance’s refineries are continuously working at full capacity. Due to this, there will be no reduction in the supply of essential commodities like petrol, diesel and LPG within the country and the prices are also expected to remain under control.
6. Employment Opportunities: Jobs opportunities for youth
Reliance is continuously increasing investment in expansion and new projects in each of its major sectors (Refinery, Retail, Jio and New Energy). Whenever a company expands its network and sets up new plants on such a large scale, it creates millions of new direct and indirect jobs in fields like logistics, delivery, stores, technical support and construction.
7. For stock market investors: Signs of strength in the long term
If you have bought Reliance shares or invested in a mutual fund that includes Reliance shares, consistency in the company’s overall turnover and profits protects your investment. Although market fluctuations may be seen in the short term, the company’s strong structure helps grow your money in the long run.
