Reliance Jio Infocomm filed a contempt petition in the Delhi High Court against Bharti AirtelNSE -1.11 %, alleging that the rival’s caveat in its Indian Premier League-related advertisements was insufficient. The court will hear the matter on April 27.
Mukesh Ambani-owned Jio had moved the court against Sunil Mittal-controlled rival earlier this month, contending that Airtel’s campaign suggested subscribers could live-stream the ongoing IPL cricket matches free, without mentioning that they would incur data charges. The court then directed Airtel to make some modifications to its campaign.
On the operational side, the subscriber base of Jio stood at 186.6 million at the end of March 2018. Reliance Jio reported total mobile data traffic of 506 crore GB with average data consumption per user per month of 9.7 GB and total voice traffic at 37,218 crore minutes during the just ended quarter.
