Reliance Jio Launches JioPC: Cloud-Based AI Desktop for ₹400 a Month
In a groundbreaking move in India’s digital ecosystem, Reliance Jio launches JioPC, its first-ever cloud-based desktop platform available at just ₹400 a month. JioPC is not a traditional hardware PC, but a virtual desktop experience powered by the cloud, offering full computing functionality — including AI tools, Microsoft Office, Adobe Express, and virus protection — all without the need for expensive physical machines.
What Is JioPC?
JioPC is a cloud-powered virtual PC accessible via Reliance Jio's set-top box. It transforms any HDMI-compatible screen — including televisions and computer monitors — into a fully functional desktop. Instead of relying on costly hardware, users get access to a remotely hosted, AI-loaded computing environment.
This plug-and-play setup offers a seamless and affordable alternative to traditional desktop PCs, targeting students, freelancers, startups, and households seeking low-investment computing solutions.
The service is exclusive to existing and new JioFiber and Jio AirFiber customers, ensuring seamless integration with Jio’s high-speed internet services.
Reliance Jio states that this low-footprint hardware setup delivers the performance of a PC worth at least ₹50,000 — without upfront costs.

Smart, Scalable & Secure
Reliance Jio emphasizes security and adaptability. With network-level virus protection, JioPC ensures data safety, especially in educational and business environments. Additionally, the cloud-hosted system reduces the risk of data loss and supports real-time updates across devices.
Since no data is stored locally, users benefit from mobility and access from any location (with a Jio setup) — ideal for students and mobile professionals.
The Future of Affordable Computing
With JioPC, Reliance is pushing forward its mission to digitally empower India. The introduction of an AI-first, cloud-native PC platform at such an affordable rate could revolutionize digital access in India, much like JioFiber disrupted internet pricing.
As India moves toward smart education, remote work, and cloud-first tools, JioPC offers a timely and relevant solution that lowers the cost of entry and simplifies technology usage for millions.
