– The company will be delivering 5 million handsets every week and
expects that it will be able to sell easily anywhere between 4-5 million
in the first 5-6 months
– Reliance in the first round will provide every dealer with 40 Jio
Phones, which can be availed only through Jio vouchers and this will be
on a first come first served basis.
– The dealer can purchase up to 40 phones in the first instance by
paying the firm Rs 20,000, which means Rs 500 per voucher per phone.
This condition has been set to ensure that the handset distribution is
evenly spread.
– “The money will be reimbursed to the retailer once he sells the
phone. The buyer will be making a 3-year locked-in security deposit of
Rs 1,500. Of this, the retailer will get back his payment of Rs 500 and
will transfer the remaining Rs 1,000 to the company,” a retailer, who
did not wish to be quoted, told FE.
– “Reliance has started the process of educating the dealers about
the pre-booking process as well as on how to avail the vouchers for
booking the handsets. The transactions will be done using the BHIM app.
For this Reliance will roll out a Jio point of sale (PoS) version that
will be pre-embedded with the pre-booking voucher functionality. A
retailer needs to download this for making payment on the vouchers in
order to book the phone,” he added.
– To make the deliveries, Reliance has launched a massive exercise by
roping in logistics companies as well as its own workforce. It plans to
deliver a lakh handsets every day to meet the expected rush.
– “The phones are being imported from Taiwan and will land at various
location such as Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad and Kolkata. From
here the devices will be sent to Jio Centres and Reliance Digital stores
from where they will be directly sent to the dealers. The firm will
also use the services other logistic companies,” a senior executive with
a top logistic services provider said.
