Reliance Industries is expected to file draft papers for the initial public offering (IPO) of its telecom subsidiary, Jio Platforms, in May 2026, delayed from an earlier March timeline due to market volatility linked to geopolitical tensions involving Iran. The IPO will include full fiscal year financials, offering a comprehensive view of Jio's performance, including subscriber growth and average revenue per user. Preparations involve around 19 investment banks, and the listing could become India's largest-ever IPO, marking Reliance's first major public offering in nearly two decades.
