Reliance Jio IPO: 7 risk factors investors should know as firm gets Sebi nod for Rs 37,000-crore issue

Reliance Industries’ telecom and digital arm Jio Platforms has secured Sebi approval for its IPO, taking one of India’s most closely watched listings a step closer to the market. The offering is expected to raise around Rs 37,700 crore and value the digital services company at nearly Rs 9.5 lakh crore, potentially making it one of the largest public offerings in India.

The IPO is expected to comprise a fresh issue of up to 27 crore equity shares, with no offer-for-sale component. As a result, the funds raised will flow directly to Jio Platforms. The company plans to use the proceeds to repay part of the borrowings of its telecom subsidiary, Reliance Jio Infocomm, as well as for general corporate purposes.
