Key Questions Answered
According to sources, anchor investor booking is scheduled to begin on October 19, with the public IPO opening on October 21 and closing on October 23, followed by a planned listing on October 28. However, these dates are initial estimates and depend heavily on prevailing market conditions and global developments.
Jio's IPO will consist entirely of fresh shares without any stake sale by existing shareholders. The company plans to use the majority of the proceeds to repay its debt, which currently stands at around 27,500 crore rupees, while the remaining funds will support general corporate purposes.
Jio Platforms submitted its DRHP to SEBI last June, and the market regulator granted its approval by August 28. SEBI has now completed almost all work related to the public offering, and the necessary regulatory approvals are in place.
