The Reliance Industries share price traded at Rs 1,221.80 on NSE at 10:04 AM IST on 21 Oct 2026, up 1.7% from Rs 1,202.00, after touching Rs 1,234.30, a gain of about 2.7% (my calculation). Jio Platforms opens its Rs 30,213 crore fresh issue today at a price band of Rs 1,065 to Rs 1,119, and it closes on 23 Oct. Reports put the rise at 2% to 2.6%, and my live check shows 1.7% at that time.<\/em><\/p>\n

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

The Reliance Industries share price is up because Jio Platforms, its digital and telecom arm, opens a Rs 30,213 crore initial public offering today, 21 Oct 2026, at a price band of Rs 1,065 to Rs 1,119 per share. The issue is entirely fresh, closes on 23 Oct, and the shares are expected to list on 28 Oct, which would make it India’s largest IPO, about 8% above Hyundai Motor India’s Rs 27,858.75 crore in 2024. Investors expect a listing to reveal a market value for Jio, which could help judge whether the Reliance Industries share price is undervalued or fully valued, but the benefit is not automatic. Whether to buy RIL now depends on the valuation Jio achieves, the stake Reliance retains and how the market values the parent afterwards.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

The Reliance Industries share price is still about 24% below its 52-week high of Rs 1,611.80 (my calculation), so the rally on IPO day is a small step in a longer fall. The proceeds go mainly to repay borrowings of Reliance Jio Infocomm, the operating subsidiary, and not to the parent.<\/p>\n

This guide covers the live snapshot, IPO dates and price band, bid sizes, the value-unlocking argument, Jio’s financials, valuation context and the risks. It is educational and not a recommendation to buy or sell the share or to apply to the issue.<\/p>\n
