India’s Largest Public Offering Jio Platforms has set a price band of ₹1,065-₹1,119 per share for the IPO, which closes tomorrow. The ₹30,213 Cr (about $3.2 Bn) offering is set to surpass Hyundai Motor India’s ₹27,870 Cr issue as India’s largest IPO. At the upper end of the price band, Jio Platforms would be valued at around ₹10.3 Lakh Cr (about $108 Bn). Ahead of the public offering, the company raised ₹8,109.8 Cr from anchor investors, allotting 7.25 Cr shares at ₹1,119 apiece. Domestic mutual funds acquired around 2.48 Cr shares through 95 schemes, while insurance companies and pension funds picked up 97 Lakh shares. The anchor book also included Fidelity, Allianz, BlackRock, the Government of Singapore, Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, and Goldman Sachs. The IPO comprises a fresh issue of up to 27 Cr equity shares, with no offer-for-sale component. Jio plans to use ₹27,500 Cr of the proceeds to prepay certain borrowings of its telecom subsidiary, Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd (RJIL), and deploy the remaining funds for general corporate purposes. The proposed repayment covers three external commercial borrowing facilities worth a combined ₹29,971 Cr, raised from a consortium of Indian and international lenders, including SBI, Bank of America and First Abu Dhabi Bank. The loans funded 5G infrastructure deployment and spectrum acquisition, with repayments scheduled between March and June 2028 and interest rates ranging from 1.40% to 5.13% per annum. The IPO comes as Jio expands beyond telecom connectivity into fixed broadband, cloud services, enterprise solutions, and AI.
