JioStar Reports 14.5% Profit Growth Driven by Subscriptions and IPL Viewership
JioStar, Reliance Industries' media division, reported a 14.5% year-on-year net profit increase to Rs. 665 crore and a 14% rise in revenue to Rs. 10,946 crore for the June quarter. Growth was driven by higher subscription revenue and digital advertising, supported by strong IPL 2026 viewership, which reached 1.2 billion across platforms. JioHotstar's monthly active users rose 15% to 530 million, while the micro-content platform Tadka surpassed 100 million users. Despite challenges like a real money gaming ban and geopolitical tensions, digital growth offset linear TV transitions.
