Jio IPO: The much-awaited IPO of Mukesh Ambani-led telecom company Jio is reportedly moving closer to the market. According to media reports cited in the source material, the public issue could be launched around Dussehra, with an estimated size of $4 billion, or approximately ₹37,700 crore.
The IPO is expected to be listed on the stock exchanges on October 28. Reports suggest that Jio Platforms may file its Red Herring Prospectus (RHP) after October 12, while the proposed price band could be in the range of ₹1,150 to ₹1,220 per share.
The issue may remain open for retail and other general investors from October 21 to October 23.
Jio IPO: Expected Dates and Timeline
According to the reported schedule, the RHP could be filed after October 12. The issue may then open for anchor investors on October 19, followed by the subscription window for general investors from October 21 to October 23.
The tentative listing date is October 28. Media reports further indicate that Jio Platforms’ management is targeting the completion of IPO-related formalities by October 30.
These dates are based on reports and remain subject to the final IPO schedule and regulatory process.
IPO to Consist Entirely of Fresh Shares
One of the key features of the proposed Jio IPO is that it is expected to comprise an entirely fresh issue of shares.
According to the company’s draft prospectus mentioned in the source material, around 27 crore new shares could be issued. There would be no Offer for Sale (OFS) component in the issue.
This means existing major investors would not be selling their shares through the IPO and would instead continue to hold their respective stakes in the company.
Meta, Google and Other Major Investors
Jio Platforms has several prominent investors, including Meta, Google, Silver Lake and KKR.
Based on the reported IPO size and expected issue details, the company’s overall valuation could reach or cross ₹9.5 lakh crore.
The proposed public issue is therefore being closely watched as Jio moves toward completing the process of becoming a listed company.
