The delivery of the Jio Phone is being planned to start during the Navratri festival beginning 21 September, the partner said. “The pre-booking of JioPhone was put on hold after six million units were booked within first three days. E-mails sent to Reliance Jio and Reliance Retail did not elicit any response. With six million units of sale, JioPhone is estimated to account for around 10% of India’s total mobile phone market in a quarter.
