Reliance Jio IP Ranges
Reliance Jio is India's largest mobile operator, registered with APNIC as AS55836 under the AS name RELIANCEJIO-IN since October 2010. The IPv6 side of the record is the striking part: a single /22 of IPv6 alongside a couple of thousand IPv4 prefixes.

What does a Reliance Jio IP mean in a privacy test?
A Jio address as your visible IP means the connection left over Jio's mobile or fibre network with nothing tunnelling it. Which of the two it was is not something the ASN answers, since Jio announces both under AS55836, and on the IPv4 side an address on a network this size stands in for many subscribers rather than one.
Where to get Jio's address list
Jio publishes no allowlist, so the APNIC database is the source. The aut-num for AS55836 carries the AS name RELIANCEJIO-IN and the organisation Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited in India, registered on 27 October 2010 and last changed in August 2020. The prefixes above are the largest currently announced. The AS55836 page carries the registry record with the routing detail.
The IPv6 allocation is where this network stops looking like a typical carrier. Jio announces hundreds of IPv6 prefixes out of 2409:4000::/22, one of the largest single-ISP allocations anywhere, and APNIC's own analysis credited Jio's rollout with pushing India past 20% IPv6 capability in 2017. If you are writing a rule that has to recognise Jio traffic, the IPv6 side is not optional here the way it still is on many networks - a large share of what Jio carries arrives over it.
What a Jio address identifies, and what it does not
AS55836 carries subscriber connections - handsets and fibre lines - and nothing rented, so an address here is a customer session rather than a machine somebody leased for an afternoon. The more useful distinction on this network is between its two address families. An arriving IPv6 address on Jio is very often the subscriber's own, which makes it a reasonable handle for a session; the registry granularity behind it is coarse, but the path is direct.
On the IPv4 side the picture is looser. The registry does not label which prefixes serve mobile and which serve fixed lines, and on a mobile network of this size a single public IPv4 address stands in for a great many subscribers at once, so an IPv4 match identifies the operator rather than the connection. Neither family tells you who is behind the traffic - that is not information the routing table or the APNIC record carries about any network.

Frequently asked questions
What IP ranges does Reliance Jio use?
Jio announces its network under AS55836, which APNIC registers to Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited under the AS name RELIANCEJIO-IN. The largest IPv4 blocks currently routed there are listed above, among them 157.32.0.0/12 and 49.32.0.0/13, and its IPv6 space sits inside 2409:4000::/22. No allowlist is published.
Why does a Reliance Jio IP appear in my privacy test?
A Jio address as your visible IP means the connection left over Jio's mobile or fibre network with nothing tunnelling it. Which of the two it was is not something the ASN answers, since Jio announces both under AS55836, and on the IPv4 side an address on a network this size stands in for many subscribers rather than one.
Is a Jio address a mobile or a fibre connection?
The ASN does not say. Jio announces both its mobile network and JioFiber under AS55836, and the APNIC record does not label which prefixes serve which. An address establishes the operator; separating the two products from the address alone is not something the published data supports.
Why is Jio's IPv6 allocation so large?
Because the network was built around IPv6. Jio announces hundreds of prefixes out of 2409:4000::/22, one of the largest allocations held by a single ISP, and APNIC's analysis credited its rollout with taking India past 20% IPv6 capability in 2017.
Does a Jio IPv4 address identify one subscriber?
No. On a mobile network of this scale a single public IPv4 address stands in for a great many subscribers at once, so seeing the same Jio IPv4 address twice is weak evidence that it was the same person. The IPv6 side is the closer thing to a per-session handle.
