# Jio IPO sets records, listing on 28 October at Rs 1,119 price band 2026-10-24T13:56:21+00:00 | Business & Economy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Reliance Jio Platforms’ Rs 30,188-crore IPO, the largest in Indian history, was fully subscribed within 100 minutes of opening on Friday, 23 October, and closed with an overall subscription of 22.19 times, according to Livemint. India Today reported cumulative bids worth Rs 7.4 lakh crore ($78 billion) and nearly 1.4 crore applications, with the QIB portion of Rs 5,500 crore covered in the first 10 minutes. The IPO price band was set at Rs 1,065 to Rs 1,119 per share. The grey market premium (GMP) was reported at Rs 248 on Saturday, 24 October, suggesting an estimated listing price of Rs 1,367, or a 22.16% gain over the upper band, Livemint said. India Today noted that at the offer price, Jio Platforms has an implied market capitalisation of Rs 10.3 lakh crore. Reliance Jio Platforms will list on the NSE and BSE on Wednesday, 28 October, at 10 am, with a special pre-open session from 9 am to 9:45 am. The listing will make Reliance Group the largest listed business group in India by aggregate market capitalisation, India Today reported. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both sources offer neutral wire-style coverage of the Jio IPO, with no discernible government slant. Livemint focuses on subscription numbers, GMP and listing logistics for investors, while India Today emphasises the scale: Rs 7.4 lakh crore in bids, the implied Rs 10.3 lakh crore valuation, and comparisons to global tech IPOs. The differences are editorial, India Today foregrounds records and market impact, Livemint leads with practical detail for retail bidders. Neither overstates or omits the other's data, they are complementary. The story leaves open the actual listing performance on 28 October and whether the GMP of Rs 248 translates to the debut price. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - livemint.com (neutral report) Straight factual report on GMP, subscription, listing process - indiatoday.in (neutral report) Straight factual report on records, valuation, investor demand This brief was synthesised by AI from the 2 sources linked above, so one read covers every framing they carry.
