Reliance Jio's shareholder quota has now moved from market speculation to a fixed date, and investors who buy Reliance Industries shares after the record date will not qualify for the reserved shareholder portion of the Jio Platforms IPO.
The shareholder reservation is one of the most closely watched parts of the Jio IPO. Jio Platforms has set aside up to Rs 2,500 crore worth of shares for eligible Reliance Industries shareholders. It has also reserved up to Rs 500 crore worth of shares for eligible employees, taking the total reservation pool to as much as Rs 3,000 crore.
