Reliance Jio Platforms: Official IPO Price, Listing and Status
Reliance Jio Platforms just completed India’s biggest-ever IPO, with its final share price fixed at ₹1,119 and listing on the BSE and NSE scheduled for October 28, 2026, after the issue was subscribed more than 22 times during bidding.
What Are Jio Platforms?
Jio Platforms is the digital and telecom arm of Reliance Industries, the company that runs Jio’s mobile network along with its broader digital services business, and it just completed India’s biggest-ever IPO.
According to Angel One’s coverage, the company raised ₹30,213 crore through a fresh issue of about 27 crore new equity shares, with no offer-for-sale component involved at all. The price band was set at ₹1,065 to ₹1,119 per share, and the final issue price was fixed at the top of that band, valuing the company at roughly ₹10.3 lakh crore. The company filed its draft papers with SEBI on June 19, 2026, received regulatory approval on August 28, and proceeds from the issue are earmarked largely for repaying debt owed by its telecom division.
How Did the Subscription and Demand Look During the Bidding Window?
The Reliance Jio Platforms IPO saw bidding run from October 21 to October 23, 2026, and ended with overall subscription of more than 22 times the shares on offer.
Qualified institutional buyers subscribed 70.55 times their reserved portion, non-institutional investors subscribed around 14 times, and retail individual investors subscribed 2.72 times, a pattern that shows institutional demand was significantly stronger than retail interest in this particular issue. Grey market premium figures in the days before listing hovered around ₹244 to ₹273 per share, suggesting a potential listing gain in the 21-23% range, though it’s worth remembering that grey market premium is an unofficial, unregulated indicator, not a guarantee of how shares will actually trade.
No, this isn’t a demerger with automatic free share allotment, existing Reliance Industries shareholders instead got access to a reserved quota within the IPO itself.
As part of the Reliance Jio Platforms IPO structure, the company set aside 2.23 crore shares, worth about ₹2,500 crore, specifically for Reliance Industries shareholders who held their RIL shares on or before the record date of October 13, 2026. These eligible shareholders could apply for Jio Platforms shares under this reserved category at the same price band as everyone else, it’s a preferential application window, not a free distribution of shares into existing demat accounts.
What’s the Actual Status of the October 28 Stock Market Listing?
Jio Platforms’ allotment was finalised on October 26, shares were credited to successful applicants’ demat accounts on October 27, and listing on the BSE and NSE was scheduled for October 28, 2026.
At the time of writing, confirmed opening or closing trade prices from the actual listing day were not yet available in the reporting reviewed for this article, so readers should check the BSE or NSE website directly, or their own broker’s app, for the real, current trading price rather than relying on pre-listing grey market estimates.
