How the Debut Compares With LIC, Hyundai, NSE and Paytm and What History Says"},"content":{"rendered":"

Jio Platforms listed 21.36% above its issue price on 28 Oct 2026, while Mint reports that LIC closed about 8% below its issue price, Hyundai Motor India closed about 7.2% below and NSE closed about 1.85% above on their debut days. The comparison is not yet like for like, because Jio’s figure is a listing price and the others are closing prices, and Jio’s own close is not known at 11:26 AM. Of the mega listings in India compared here, Jio has the highest figure, though the measures differ.<\/em><\/p>\n

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

Mega listings in India have a poor day-one record: LIC closed about 8% below its issue price of Rs 949 in 2022, Hyundai Motor India closed about 7.2% below Rs 1,960 in 2024 and NSE closed only about 1.85% above Rs 1,785 in 2026, as per Mint. Jio Platforms listed at Rs 1,358 against Rs 1,119, a gain of 21.36%, after a subscription of 22.19 times compared with 2.28 times for Hyundai. The verdict depends on the closing price and on how the stock trades over the next few months, which one expert thinks could hold because tradable supply is limited. This is educational and not a recommendation.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Mega listings in India have long carried a jinx, because very large issues tend to attract heavy demand but then struggle to absorb selling on the first day. This article compares the Jio Platforms debut with earlier mega listings in India, shows what is known and what is not, and sets out the reasons experts give for why Jio may be different.<\/p>\n

Univest has already published a pre-listing article on this question, so this one looks at the result of the Jio Platforms listing for mega listings in India. I could not retrieve Mint’s own report titled ‘Jio Platforms bucks mega-IPO trend with a strong opening’, which is behind a paywall, and I did not find day-one results for the other large issues in the list. The data is educational and not advice.<\/p>\n
