Jio Platforms readies IPO papers after global roadshows
Jio Platforms is giving final touches to its public offer documents for an estimated USD 3.8 billion IPO after concluding worldwide roadshows, according to a source aware of the development. The roadshows were led by Jio Platforms Managing Director and Reliance Jio Chairman Akash Ambani and Reliance Retail Ventures Limited Executive Director Isha Ambani, and were held in the US, UK, Dubai, Singapore and Hong Kong. The company has started preparations for filing a red herring prospectus, the source told PTI.
The digital services arm of Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries received approval from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) in September 2026. According to its draft prospectus, the company plans to issue up to 27 crore fresh equity shares, equivalent to about 2.9 per cent of its post-issue equity base. The proceeds will be used primarily to repay or prepay about Rs 27,500 crore of outstanding borrowings of Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd. For FY26, Jio Platforms posted a 15 per cent rise in profit after tax to Rs 30,053 crore.
