Investors who applied for shares will be able to verify their allotment through the official websites of BSE, NSE and KFin Technologies, the registrar to the issue. The IPO, backed by Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries Limited (RIL), attracted substantial investor interest during its three-day bidding window. Meanwhile, the reported grey market premium (GMP) of ₹250 has indicated a potential listing price above the issue’s upper price band.

Meanwhile, refunds for those investors who didn't get allotment will also be processed the same day. The company is scheduled to list on the stock exchanges BSE and NSE on October 28 at 10 am.

Meanwhile, the employee reservation portion recorded 2.93 times subscription, and the shareholder reservation category was subscribed 7.60 times. The Jio Platforms IPO’s grey market premium stood at ₹250, according to media reports. Based on the upper end of the issue price band at ₹1,119 per share, this translated into an indicative listing price of ₹1,369.
