Reliance Jio, Tesla deal will boost India’s 5G ecosystem, says GlobalData

India’s largest telecom operator Reliance Jio is reportedly in talks with Tesla to set up a private 5G network for Tesla’s proposed manufacturing plant in India;

Shri Charan Padala, Principal Analyst, Thematic Intelligence at GlobalData, offers his view:

“The deal between Reliance Jio and Tesla is a “win-win” for both companies if the talks come to fruition. Jio would get a major customer for its 5G network, while Tesla would get a high-speed network for its manufacturing operations.

“This potential partnership represents a paradigm shift in India’s 5G landscape and signifies the country’s preparedness to embrace advanced technologies. By integrating 5G into Tesla’s manufacturing operations, India will have an opportunity to unlock new levels of automation, connectivity, and data analysis, paving the way for increased growth and productivity.

“According to GlobalData’s 5G Market Report, 1.7 billion people had a 5G mobile subscription at the end of 2022, accounting for 18% of total mobile subscriptions worldwide. The figure is expected to rise to 5.5 billion, or 48% of total mobile subscriptions, by 2027.

“In addition to its technological implications, the Jio-Tesla collaboration holds the potential to generate a substantial number of jobs in Tesla’s manufacturing plant as well as across India’s expanding technology sector. This infusion of employment opportunities and increased economic activity could contribute significantly to India’s overall economic growth, further solidifying its position as a key player in the global economy.

“With its potential to drive innovation, job creation, and economic prosperity, the Jio-Tesla collaboration represents a pivotal moment in India’s journey towards becoming a leader in advanced manufacturing and 5G technology. As the discussions progress, all eyes are on the outcome, eagerly anticipating the transformative impact this partnership could have on India’s 5G ecosystem and its positioning in the global technology landscape.”
