A likely pick-up in wireless broadband subscribers may be a surprise for investors. Potential tariff hikes, higher usage due to 5G speeds, and industry consolidation may be other triggers for Jio in 2024.

Stabilisation of substantial retail expansion should drive up operating leverage. 2024 will also see the start of the first of the new energy projects.

The global investment bank expects deleveraging starting from mid-2024 and a potential IPO of Jio and/or retail in the next 12-18 months.
