Reliance Jio and NSE Prepare for 2026 IPOs with Fresh Equity and Stakeholder Participation

The upcoming IPOs of Reliance Jio Platforms and the National Stock Exchange (NSE) are highly anticipated in 2026, with both expected to file draft prospectuses with Sebi soon. Jio Platforms is shifting to a fully fresh equity issuance, dropping the earlier offer-for-sale plan due to valuation disagreements among existing investors. Meanwhile, NSE is encouraging state-owned institutions to participate as selling shareholders. Jio aims to use part of the IPO proceeds to reduce debt and support corporate needs, while Reliance Industries is open to diluting its stake.
