Mukesh D Ambani, Chairman, Reliance Industries announced that RIL is investing an additional Rs 3,000 crore in the next three years in its various businesses in Odisha with most of the investment aimed at creating a digital infrastructure in the state. The announcement was made at the 'Make in Odisha - Conclave 2018', in the presence of a host of dignitaries including Odisha chief minister Naveen Patnaik, Japanese Ambassador to India, Kenji Hiramatsu and consul generals of several other countries, besides other leading business heads, and representatives from industry body FICCI.
Ambani was the star speaker at the Business Leadership Summit that was organized just after the plenary session of the conclave.
The RIL group has so far invested Rs 6,000 crore in Odisha. “For Reliance, Jio is not another business but a mission to transform India and Odisha. We have created and sustained new employment opportunities for over 30,000 people in this state,” Ambani said. "I believe India will rise from a lowly 135th rank… to be amongst the top three nations in fixed broadband. Our aim is to take the power of digital life to every nook and corner of the state, particularly in rural Odisha," he said.
“Reliance and Jio are dependable partners in your Make in Odisha mission, as well as in your Make New Odisha vision. Today, Reliance has emerged as one of the largest investors in Odisha. Reliance has already invested over 6,000 crores in Odisha. And today am committing to investing an additional 3,000 crore in the next three years in our various businesses in Odisha.
Our investment philosophy has a clear goal - to empower everyone in the march of development.
Most of our investments are in creating the Jio network. For Reliance, Jio is not just another business. It is a mission to transform India - to transform Odisha,” he said.
On why RIL focuses on digital business, Ambani said, “Our Prime Minister’s inspiring vision of Digital India is to make India a leader in the digital economy. Today, India is the fastest digitizing economy in the whole world. Jio is leading India’s digital transformation.
Since Jio commenced operations little over two years ago, India has moved from 155th rank in mobile broadband penetration to being the number 1 nation in mobile data consumption in the world. We are committed to connecting everyone and everything, everywhere always with the highest quality and the most affordable price.”
