· Economic Times Markets
Jio Platforms is set to file its RHP for a potential Rs 30,000-crore IPO, which could become India’s largest-ever share sale. The Reliance Industries subsidiary is expected to open the issue for subscription from October 21 to 23. The IPO may value Jio at up to Rs 10.3 lakh crore, with a likely price band of Rs 1,065–1,119 per share. Existing investors are not expected to sell their stakes.
Key facts
- Dates in focus
- October 21
The analysis
Reliance Industries reported Rs 30,000 crore, Rs 30,000 and Rs 10.3 lakh crore. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.
Against that, the stock is -0.2% on the day at ₹1,164.90, and has returned -9.9% over three months. It sits 27% below its 52-week high, which means a good deal of bad news was already in the price. The oil & energy sector has moved -5.7% over the same period, so Reliance Industries is running 4.2 points behind its peers.
For Reliance Industries, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the oil & energy peer set alongside it.
Why it matters
- Listing activity is a read on risk appetite — a hot primary market usually means a confident secondary one.
