# Jio Platforms IPO likely by October end at $143 to 146 bn valuation 2026-10-05T03:07:55+00:00 | Business & Economy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Jio Platforms is likely to list by the end of October at an enterprise valuation of USD 143 to 146 billion, or more than Rs 12 lakh crore, sources told multiple outlets. The initial public offering (IPO) is expected to be India's largest, with an issue size of around USD 3.8 billion. The company has completed overseas roadshows in the US, UK, Dubai, Hong Kong and Singapore, led by Managing Director Akash Ambani and Reliance Retail Ventures Executive Director Isha Ambani. Final papers are expected to be filed with market regulator SEBI in the week starting October 12, and an anchor round could begin before Dussehra, with the issue likely to open after Dussehra and before October 23. SEBI issued its final observations on August 28. The company plans to issue up to 27 crore fresh equity shares, about 2.9% of its post-issue equity base. For FY26, Jio Platforms posted a 15% rise in profit after tax to Rs 30,053 crore and a 14.5% increase in annual revenue to Rs 1,46,885 crore. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both The Hans India and The Economic Times provide neutral, wire-style reporting on Jio Platforms' IPO, with no discernible pro-government or critical slant. The coverage is uniform: both outlets lead with the valuation range and timeline, attribute figures to unnamed banking sources, and include SEBI's August 28 clearance. The Economic Times adds significant context, financial results for FY26, investor details including Meta and Google stakes, and market share data, but this is supplementary rather than opinionated. The absence of any government or regulatory commentary in either piece means the story is treated as a straightforward corporate finance event. The next concrete milestone is the filing of final papers with SEBI in the week starting October 12. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - thehansindia.com (neutral report) Straight factual report of IPO timeline and valuation - economictimes.indiatimes.com (neutral report) Detailed wire-style report with financials and background This brief was synthesised by AI from the 2 sources linked above, so one read covers every framing they carry.
