Reliance Jio employs a mixed strategy for its tower infrastructure, utilizing both leased and owned towers.

Tower Leasing Agreements

1. Indus Towers: Jio has signed significant leasing agreements with Indus Towers, which is one of the largest telecom tower companies in India. As per recent reports, Jio is leasing around 14,000 towers from Indus, benefiting from discounts based on its tenancy status

• GTL Infrastructure: Jio is leasing around 6,000 towers from GTL without any special discounts

Bharti Airtel: Airtel has its own tower assets and also leases from Indus Towers. Airtel holds a significant stake in Indus and continues to expand its infrastructure independently, while also benefiting from shared resources

Jio’s strategy of leasing towers allows for rapid expansion without the need for extensive capital investment in infrastructure. This approach contrasts with Airtel’s model, which includes a larger focus on owning assets. Overall, Jio’s reliance on both leased and owned towers positions it effectively within the competitive landscape of Indian telecommunications
