    Loading...×Shares of Jio Platforms are set to list on the BSE and NSE on Wednesday, October 28, 2026. The IPO is commanding a grey market premium (GMP) of around 22%, signalling expectations of potential listing gains.

    The Rs 30,213-crore IPO was priced in a band of Rs 1,065–1,119 per share. At the upper end of the price band, the issue values Jio Platforms at approximately Rs 10.3 lakh crore, placing it among India’s most valuable companies. The public issue comprised 27 crore fresh equity shares, with no offer-for-sale (OFS) component.

    The IPO opened for subscription on October 21 and closed on October 23, 2026, receiving an overall subscription of 22.19 times. Qualified institutional buyers (QIBs) led the demand, subscribing to 70.55 times their allotted portion. The non-institutional investor (NII) category was subscribed 14 times, while the retail investor portion received 2.72 times subscription.

    Jio Platforms plans to utilise up to Rs 27,500 crore from the net proceeds to repay or prepay borrowings of its subsidiary, Reliance Jio Infocomm. The move aims to reduce the subsidiary's debt burden.

    Ahead of the public issue, the company raised Rs 8,110 crore from anchor investors on October 19. The anchor book attracted prominent domestic and global institutional investors, including LIC, BlackRock and Fidelity.

        Jio IPO GMP Today

        Jio Platforms’ shares commanded a grey market premium (GMP) of around Rs 246 per share, or 22%, over the upper end of the IPO price band of Rs 1,119. Based on this premium, the estimated listing price is approximately Rs 1,365 per share, indicating a potential gain of around 22% over the issue price.

        However, the GMP is an unofficial indicator of market sentiment and does not guarantee the actual listing price or investor returns. It can fluctuate significantly ahead of the stock’s market debut.

        Jio IPO valuation and financial performance

        At the upper price band of Rs 1,119, the valuation is below Bharti Airtel's trailing earnings multiple of about 40.7 times, although differences in profitability, return on capital and business mix remain important considerations.

        Jio reported revenue from operations of Rs 1.46 lakh crore in FY26, compared with Rs 1.28 lakh crore in FY25. Its net profit increased to Rs 30,049 crore from Rs 26,109 crore, while EBITDA rose to Rs 76,255 crore from Rs 64,170 crore. Average revenue per user increased from Rs 181.7 in FY24 to Rs 214 in FY26 and Rs 215.6 in the June quarter.

        Further tariff increases, premiumisation of mobile plans and growing demand for broadband services could support earnings, although management has said it intends to focus on offering more services rather than relying primarily on tariff hikes.
