Reliance Jio IPO

Digital services company Jio Platforms has appointed Akash Ambani as managing director of the company ahead of its initial public offering, according to a regulatory filing. Jio Platforms is expected to file draft papers for its Initial Public Offering (IPO) by the end of May or in June. "Akash M Ambani...appointed as managing director of the company, for a period of 5 years with effect from April 9, 2026," the filing dated May 7 said. Ambani has been on the board of Jio Platforms' telecom arm Reliance Jio Infocomm (RJIL) since October 2014. In June 2022 , he was elevated to the position of Chairman of RJIL. During his tenure, Jio achieved the feat of crossing the 100 million subscriber mark in less than six months of its launch in 2016. The company posted profit of over Rs 30,000 crore and revenue of Rs 1.46 lakh crore for fiscal year 2026.

The u-turn was triggered by some Jio shareholders pushing for a higher price band, while the conglomerate favors a more conservative valuation to avoid listing-day losses for retail investors

Earlier market rumors reported that the IPO could come as early as May, with Reliance looking to shed 2.5-3 per cent stake from its existing 67 per cent stake in Jio for close to USD 4 billion (Rs 37,500 crore). "We believe the Mideast conflict may delay Jio's IPO towards the second half of the year," CreditSights, part of the Fitch Group, said. "A Jio IPO will raise cash for debt repayment and capex, and improve Jio's competitiveness against rivals Bharti and Vodafone Idea." Reliance reported 2025-26 (FY26) revenue and EBITDA growth of 10 per cent and 8 per cent year-on-year, respectively, with retail and telecom continuin
