The Reliance Jio IPO opens on 21 Oct 2026 and closes on 23 Oct at Rs 1,065 to Rs 1,119, with a tentative listing on 28 Oct. Kantilal Chhaganlal rates it Subscribe for the long term at a FY26 P\/E of 33.3x against Bharti Airtel at 40.71x, while Centrum values it at about 12x EV\/EBITDA on FY28 estimates. LIC listed about 8.1% below its issue price in 2022, which shows that large issues do not always pop. This article gives no unofficial price premiums.<\/em><\/p>\n

Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Reliance Jio IPO is better treated as a long-term decision than a listing-day jackpot, which is the view of Hedged.in, and Kantilal Chhaganlal also rates it Subscribe for the long term. Centrum sees strong tailwinds from 5G, fixed broadband and a tariff hike of about 12% over the next three to four months, while Ventura says Jio’s ARPU of about Rs 216 trails Airtel at roughly Rs 257 to Rs 264. At the upper band the valuation is about 33x FY26 earnings and about 12x EV\/EBITDA, against Airtel at nearly 10x EV\/EBITDA, so the Reliance Jio IPO is priced for growth. A large issue does not guarantee a first day gain, so decide on your holding period, valuation comfort and category quota.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

The Reliance Jio IPO is the biggest issue in Indian market history, and the question most investors ask is whether to play it for listing gains or hold it. The answer depends on price, your time frame and how much faith you place in tariff hikes.<\/p>\n

This guide sets out the expert views, the valuation against Bharti Airtel, a comparison of the two approaches and the risks. It is educational and not a recommendation to apply for the Reliance Jio IPO.<\/p>\n
