Jio Platforms Surges into Global Top 20 in latest WIPO Patents Ranking
Becomes the only Indian technology innovator to break into the Global Top-20
Jio Platforms (JPL), the technology arm of Reliance Industries Limited, surged into the global top 20 in the latest Patent Co-operation Treaty (PCT) rankings released by the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) recently. The report ranks top PCT applicants based on published data.
JPL climbed 320 places on the list for year 2025, making it one of the fastest-rising innovators globally and placing it among an elite group of global technology leaders, including Huawei, Samsung, Qualcomm, LG, Panasonic, Nokia, Google, Apple and Microsoft.
Jio’s patent portfolio is strongly focused on next-generation digital technologies, including 5G, 5G Advanced, 6G, artificial intelligence, AI-native networks, cloud-native platforms, intelligent automation, radio access, core network software, edge intelligence, fixed wireless access, network slicing and digital services infrastructure.
Commenting on the achievement, Shri. Akash M. Ambani, Managing Director, Jio Platforms Limited, said, “The rise of Jio Platforms to the global top 20 in the WIPO PCT rankings reflects our years of efforts towards transforming into a deep-tech company. It demonstrates the velocity of innovation at Jio across multiple advanced technologies, which will continue to grow in coming years. I would like to dedicate this achievement to Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s vision of an Atmanirbhar Bharat, which envisages India to become a creator, owner and exporter of technology to the world. We are proud to contribute to India’s journey towards becoming a global deep-tech powerhouse.”
Most notably, Jio’s 320-rank jump to the 20th place comes in a year when global PCT filings grew by less than 1% globally.
The WIPO ranking is an important external recognition of Jio Platforms’ R&D productivity and intellectual property depth. It firmly places India-origin innovation in the global technology creation landscape across multiple advanced technologies.
Jio Platforms reported that it has filed 6,817 patents cumulatively as of March 31, 2026. Of these, 2,393 patents have been filed in India and 4,424 across foreign jurisdictions. A total of 1,009 patents have been granted globally, comprising 538 grants in India and 471 in international markets.
Jio has always ensured that its innovation is grounded in technologies and platforms that it has developed and commercialised at scale. Jio Platforms is also developing sunrise technologies that will define the next wave of digital infrastructure. These include 5G/6G Radio, 5G/6G Core, satellite communications and the next frontier in Agentic AI – JioBrain. This futuristic technology agenda gives the company’s intellectual property portfolio a growth trajectory linked to future commercial deployment.
Jio’s rise as a global tech IP leader signals a larger shift in India’s technology landscape from large-scale technology deployment to original technology creation.
