Jio Platforms Raises $3.1 Billion in IPO with Lower Bankers' Fees Amid Strong Demand
Jio Platforms raised approximately $3.1 billion in a record-setting IPO, fully subscribed within 100 minutes. Despite the large issue size, the company paid about 0.65% of the issue value in fees to 19 investment banks, totaling around ₹196 crore (about $20.7 million). This fee percentage is lower than several previous major Indian IPOs due to intense competition among bankers, who accept lower fees for prestigious deals. Investor demand for Jio's shares was notably strong, with bids exceeding the offer by nearly 22 times.
