The Indian telecommunications sector reported a 6.9% year-on-year increase in gross revenue for the quarter ended March 2026, reaching ₹1.05 lakh crore.
The industry-wide growth was driven by Reliance Jio, which posted the highest individual revenue at ₹32,467.88 crore, reinforcing its market leadership position.

Adjusted gross revenue (AGR), a key metric that includes service sales and government levies such as license fees and spectrum usage charges, rose by 9.45% to ₹86,716 crore.
This expansion in AGR indicates that operators are not only growing their core service income but also benefiting from higher regulatory contributions, reflecting a broad-based improvement in sector health.
