It is true that Jio is testing its broadband services in certain parts of India, which includes Delhi and Mumbai. However, media reports suggest that it will take a couple of months to fully launch in India. While a Lucknow launch may happen by 2018 end.

Yes, it is the same company which powers 650+ railway stations with high-speed wifi. Railtel aims to deliver high-speed broadband to all cable connected homes.
