Jio Platforms has received approval from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for its proposed $3.8 billion IPO, setting the stage for what could become India's largest-ever stock-market listing.
The proposed offering is expected to raise around ₹37,700 crore, putting it ahead of the $2.95 billion IPO of Hyundai Motor India in 2024 if the issue proceeds at the reported size. Jio Platforms, the digital services arm of Reliance Industries, plans to issue 270 million shares through the offering. The IPO is structured as a fresh issue, with proceeds expected to support debt repayment by the company's telecom business.
Editorial Insight
Key Highlights
Important points readers should notice.
Potential record listing: At around $3.8 billion, the IPO could become India's largest-ever listing.
Jio moves closer to the market: SEBI approval removes a major regulatory hurdle for the proposed public offering.
Telecom beyond telecom: Jio's expansion into AI, cloud and enterprise services makes the IPO significant for India's wider digital economy.
Reliance value unlock: A separate listing could give investors a clearer market valuation of Jio's standalone business.
The company operates one of the world's largest mobile networks and had more than 533 million subscribers as of June 2026. Its business has also expanded beyond telecommunications into areas including artificial intelligence, cloud services and enterprise networking.
The approval marks a major step forward for Jio's planned public-market debut. The company had filed its Draft Red Herring Prospectus with SEBI in June, beginning the formal regulatory process for the proposed listing.
Jio's proposed IPO is being closely watched because a separate stock-market listing would allow investors to assess the company's performance and valuation independently from its parent, Reliance Industries.
