365telugu.com online news,December 22nd,2025: As 2025 draws to a close, India has officially transitioned from a digital follower to a global leader in telecommunications. Driven by the world’s fastest infrastructure deployment, India’s 5G user base has surged past the 400 million mark, now accounting for nearly one-third of the nation’s total mobile connectivity.
A Record-Breaking Growth Trajectory
India is now recognized as a primary engine for global digital expansion. While China maintains the largest volume with 1.1 billion users, India’s growth rate remains unmatched. From 365 million subscribers in mid-2025, the market is on a high-speed path to hit 1 billion 5G users by 2030.
On a global scale, 5G connections are expected to reach 2.9 billion by year-end, meaning India alone contributes significantly to the worldwide shift toward high-speed mobile internet.
Jio: The Vanguard of the Digital Revolution
Reliance Jio has solidified its status as a global technology titan, crossing the monumental 500 million total subscriber threshold in September. By the end of October 2025, that figure climbed to 510 million.
Key highlights of Jio’s 2025 performance include:
5G Dominance: Jio is set to close the year with 240 million 5G-specific users.
Data Explosion: 5G now carries half of Jio’s total wireless traffic. The network handled a massive 162 Exabytes of data in the first nine months of the year.
Consumption Surge: The average monthly data usage per customer has jumped to 38.7 GB, up from 32.3 GB in January, reflecting a massive appetite for high-definition streaming and digital services.
Regional Stronghold: Andhra Pradesh & Telangana
In the Telugu states, Jio remains the undisputed leader with a wireless subscriber base exceeding 3.2 crore.
The company’s influence extends beyond mobile phones; its Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) service, JioAirFiber, has dominated the regional market, pushing wireline connections to nearly 20 lakh across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
Looking Toward 2030
The Indian government remains optimistic, projecting the national 5G tally to reach 430 million by 2026. With 5G devices becoming the industry standard, the march toward one billion users by 2030 appears inevitable. In just three years since the 5G rollout began, the combined force of government policy and Jio’s aggressive scaling has placed India at the forefront of the global “Intelligence Age.”
