· LiveMint Companies
Jio's voice-only prepaid offerings start at ₹147, which comes with a validity of 22 days. At the higher end, the company offers a ₹1,748 plan with a validity of 336 days.
The analysis
Reliance Industries reported ₹147 and ₹1,748. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.
Against that, the stock is +0.2% on the day at ₹1,313.40, and has returned +2.6% over three months. It sits 18% below its 52-week high. The oil & energy sector has moved -2.8% over the same period, so Reliance Industries is running 5.4 points ahead of its peers.
For Reliance Industries, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the oil & energy peer set alongside it.

- The 3 companies named span 2 sectors, so these are separate company stories rather than one sector-wide move.

- Over three months: Reliance Industries (Jio) +2.6% against Oil & Energy -2.8% (5.4 points ahead); Bharti Airtel +4.0% against Telecom & Media +0.9% (3.1 points ahead); Vodafone Idea +0.7% against Telecom & Media +0.9% (0.2 points behind).
