Jio Platforms Files Final IPO Papers Ahead of October 21 Launch
Listen to the story
Jio Platforms, the telecom and digital services company owned by Reliance Industries, has filed its final IPO prospectus with regulators.
The company's share offer is set to open on October 21.
A prospectus is an official document that gives investors details about a company before it sells shares.
Jio aims to raise Rs 30,213 crore through this public offering, which would make it the largest IPO in India's history.
Unlike many other large IPOs, every rupee raised will go directly into the company itself.
In many IPOs, part of the money instead goes to existing shareholders who sell their own shares.
This structure means Jio will use the full amount for its own business growth.
Jio Platforms is led by Mukesh Ambani, chairman of Reliance Industries.
His father, Dhirubhai Ambani, founded the original Reliance company decades ago.
Reports suggest Jio's valuation could reach around Rs 10 lakh crore.
A valuation shows how much a company is considered to be worth in total.
That figure is described as adding "13 zeros" to Dhirubhai Ambani's early business dream.
Jio has grown rapidly since its launch, becoming one of India's biggest telecom and internet providers.
The upcoming IPO is expected to attract strong interest from both Indian and international investors.
Analysts say the listing could mark a major moment for India's stock market and technology sector.
Further details about the share price and allotment process are expected closer to the opening date.
