Mukesh Ambani vows additional Rs 10k crore investment

Speaking at the UP Investors Summit, Reliance Industries chief Mukesh Ambani promised investment of another Rs 10,000 crore through Jio in the next three years. He said the investment will be over and above the Rs 20,000 crore Jio has already made in the state in rolling out high-speed 4G telecom venture.

Emphasising on making Uttar Pradesh an 'Uttam Pradesh', Ambani said India cannot rise to its full potential without the rise of 22 crore people of the state.

He said he wanted every youth in the state to be a smart youth and for this Jio will make available over 2 crore phones in the state in the next two months on a priority basis, and added that by 2018, Jio will be present in every village of UP.

RIL will establish a Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution within the campus of a reputed university in UP, he said.
