The tech giant Reliance Jio on Monday, 3 July 2023 released its JioBharat phone at Rs 999 with amazing tariff plans. The main motive behind the launch of this handset is to promote transition from 2G to 4G network in India. On 7 July 2023, the company will start the beta trial for the first one million JioBharat phones across 6500 tehsils.

According to an official statement by Akash Ambani, Chairman, of Reliance Jio, "6 years ago, when Jio was launched, we made it clear that Jio will leave no stone unturned to democratize internet and pass the benefits of technology to every Indian. Technology will no longer remain a privilege for a select few."

The budget-friendly Jio Bharat device was launched as an important component of 2G Mukt Bharat with a vision to make internet-enabled phones available to everyone in the country, especially to the ones who cannot afford it.

"The new Jio Bharat phone is at the centre of innovation, and it continues to demonstrate our focus on bringing disproportionate and true value for different segments of users with meaningful, real-life use cases," Akash Ambani said in a statement.
