What Market Experts Say"},"content":{"rendered":"<p style=\"border-left:4px solid #1F4E79;background:#EBF3FB;padding:10px 16px;font-style:italic;\"><em>Jio Platforms IPO listing is due on Wednesday, 28 Oct 2026 on BSE and NSE, after the Rs 30,213 crore issue was subscribed 22.19 times at the Rs 1,119 upper price. Of the large Indian issues I could compare, LIC, Paytm and Hyundai Motor India all listed below their issue prices, while NSE, Tata Capital and HDB Financial Services listed above. Allotment is on 26 Oct, and refunds and demat credit follow on 27 Oct.<\/em><\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#F0F9FF;border-left:4px solid #2E7D32;border-radius:6px;padding:14px 18px;margin:18px 0;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0;color:#1F4E79;font-size:14px;\"><strong>Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:8px 0 0;\">Jio Platforms IPO listing on 28 Oct 2026 will test India&#8217;s mega listing record, because LIC and Paytm fell about 9% on debut, Hyundai Motor India listed at a small discount, and NSE and Tata Capital listed with gains of 0.84% and 1.23%. Support for the Jio Platforms IPO listing comes from 22.19 times subscription, qualified institutional demand of 70.55 times and a fresh issue with no selling shareholder, while the limits come from the size, the Rs 10.3 lakh crore valuation and heavy foreign selling in 2026. Experts quoted in the reports I found give no listing price, and this is educational and not a recommendation to apply, hold or sell.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The Jio Platforms IPO listing is the most watched debut of the year because the issue is the largest in Indian market history, and the record of earlier mega issues is mixed. A strong subscription does not decide the listing price, since a very large issue needs buyers on the first day who were not in the queue, and that is the question behind the jinx.<\/p>\n<p>This article sets out the key dates, including the Jio Platforms IPO listing date, the subscription data, how earlier mega issues listed, what supports and what limits Jio Platforms IPO listing gains, the financials and a checklist for listing day. It is educational and not advice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><strong>Click Here &#8211; Get Free Investment Predictions<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65

selling, which is unusual for an issue of this size. Reports also say that about Rs 27,500 crore will repay debt at the subsidiary, so the proceeds strengthen the balance sheet and do not fund new capacity directly.<\/p>\n<p>For the Jio Platforms IPO listing, the valuation of about Rs 10.3 lakh crore at Rs 1,119 implies about 920 crore shares after the issue (my calculation). Different reports quote anchor bids of about Rs 2.4 lakh crore and Rs 2.5 lakh crore, both more than 30 times the anchor quota of Rs 8,110 crore.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Jio_Platforms_IPO_Subscription_Data_and_the_Jio_Platforms_IPO_Listing\"><\/span><strong>Jio Platforms IPO Subscription Data and the Jio Platforms IPO Listing<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;\">\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">Jio Platforms IPO listing: category (as of 7 PM, 23 Oct)<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">Subscription<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Qualified institutional buyers<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">70.55 times<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Non-institutional investors, total<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">14.00 times<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Above Rs 10 lakh (bNII)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">15.89 times<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Rs 2 lakh to Rs 10 lakh (sNII)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">10.22 times<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Retail individual investors<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">2.72 times<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Employees<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">2.93 times<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Shareholders<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">7.60 times<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Overall<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">22.19 times<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>The Jio Platforms IPO subscription figure comes from bids of about 438.3 crore shares for about 19.75 crore shares on offer, which gives the overall figure of 22.19 times (my calculation, from the BSE data in one report). Institutions did the heavy lifting, with the quota filled in the first 10 minutes of day one and the whole issue covered in about 100 minutes. Retail demand of 2.72 times is much lower than the institutional demand, so the retail crowd on listing day is not as large as the overall number suggests.<\/p>\n<p>These Jio Platforms IPO subscription figures are a snapshot at 7 PM on the last day and not the final closing numbers.

Reports say that of the 13 Indian issues above Rs 10,000 crore, several now trade below their issue prices, and the table shows the same for LIC, Paytm, Hyundai, NSE and Tata Capital.<\/p>\n<p>Two cautions apply to this Jio Platforms IPO listing comparison. The reports differ on NSE&#8217;s issue size and on how the Hyundai listing is measured, and the latest prices are from different dates, so treat the last column as a rough guide. The lesson for the Jio Platforms IPO listing is that size makes a big first-day pop harder, because the company has to be valued at a level that a wide set of investors accept.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Supports_Gains_on_the_Jio_Platforms_IPO_Listing_Day\"><\/span><strong>What Supports Gains on the Jio Platforms IPO Listing Day<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;\">\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">Support for the Jio Platforms IPO listing<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">Fact<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Demand<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">22.19 times overall and 70.55 times from qualified institutional buyers<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Anchor book<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Rs 8,110 crore from 212 anchors including LIC, Capital Group, the Government of Singapore, SBI Mutual Fund, BlackRock and Fidelity<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Fresh issue<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">No existing shareholder is selling, and the money goes to the company<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Balance sheet<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Net debt ratio fell from 0.88 in FY24 to 0.36 in FY26, and the issue prepays Rs 27,500 crore of debt<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Scale<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">360,537 towers, more than 1.0 million route kilometres of fibre and wireless coverage of over 99% of the population, as of 30 Jun 2026<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Fixed broadband<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">28.6 million JioFiber and JioAirFiber customers, with about 14.0 million on JioAirFiber<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Technology<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">7,220 patent applications and an end-to-end 5G standalone stack<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>These points explain why experts see potential for gains on the Jio Platforms IPO listing.

EBITDA was Rs 76,255.4 crore in FY26, which is about 51.9% of revenue (my calculation), and the profit margin was about 20.5%.
