SEBI Approves Jio Platforms IPO Targeting Rs 37,700 Crore, India's Largest Offering
Jio Platforms, the digital services arm of Reliance Industries, has received approval from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to launch an initial public offering (IPO) targeting around Rs 37,700 crore (approximately USD 3.8-4 billion). The IPO will be a fresh issue of up to 27 crore equity shares, with no offer-for-sale component, and proceeds primarily intended for debt repayment. Valued at about Rs 9.5 lakh crore (USD 137 billion), this is expected to be India's largest IPO. The issue includes reservations for qualified institutional buyers, retail investors, and eligible Reliance Industries shareholders. The listing is anticipated within the next few months, marking a significant milestone for Reliance and the Indian capital markets.
