11. EFFECT OF JIO’S COST LEADERSHIP STRATEGY
•As the cheap rates offered by the Reliance Jio, its competitors reduced their prices drastically
to retain their own customers.
•Airtel has reduced their 4G prices by 67% and also offered free calling to fight back with
Reliance Jio’s cheap plans. Vodafone reduced it prices by 45% and offered free calling too.
•The other major effect was seen in closure of small network operators like Telenor, Aircel etc.
•The merger of Airtel with Tata made them second largest subscriber base in India
•Idea and Vodafone merger

13. PITFALLS IN JIO’S DIFFERENTIATION STRATEGY
There is a differentiation between voice calling and data usage and
therefore company has to depend upon data consumption for profitability
due to making voice calling free.
The ambitious CDMA venture was unsuccessful and so analysts feel that
free users might not come back as a paying consumers.
Company has inadequate fibre optic capacity and it require huge financial
requirement for the same.
