The issue is a Rs 30,213 crore fresh issue at Rs 1,065 to Rs 1,119, with up to Rs 27,500 crore meant to prepay RJIL debt. FY26 profit was about Rs 30,049 crore.

The biggest is concentration, since RJIL contributed 87.74% of FY26 revenue, 94.88% of EBITDA and 93.76% of profit after tax. The Jio Platforms RHP also shows return on average capital employed falling from 12.50% to 10.76% and quantifiable proceedings of Rs 10,836.3 crore against subsidiaries. Read the Jio Platforms RHP together with the price band of Rs 1,065 to Rs 1,119, since the P\/E of about 33x to 34x already assumes growth.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The red herring prospectus is the document that tells you what the company must disclose before you bid, and the Jio Platforms RHP is long.
