Jio Platforms Plans Late October IPO to Raise Funds for Debt RepaymentPreviousNext

Jio Platforms is preparing to launch its initial public offering (IPO) in late October, with public subscription expected from October 21 to 23 and listing targeted for October 28. The IPO, potentially India's largest, has attracted strong interest from both foreign and domestic investors. The fresh issue aims to raise around ₹27,500 crore to repay Reliance Jio Infocomm's debt. Final pricing and valuation, estimated between ₹9.5 lakh crore and over ₹12 trillion, will depend on market conditions and investor feedback.
