<\/a><\/h2>\n\n<\/div>\n\nWhat stood out in Jio’s Q4 numbers was the margin expansion, quarterly EBITDA jumped 17.9% to Rs 20,060 crore on a 230-basis-point improvement. Data traffic surged 35% YoY to 66 exabytes, while costs grew slower than revenue. That’s the operating leverage story that will anchor Jio’s IPO valuation case.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nJio IPO: What Has Actually Changed<\/h2>\n\n- At the 48th AGM (August 29, 2025), Mukesh Ambani formally committed, “Jio is making all arrangements to file its IPO. We are aiming to list Jio by H1 2026. “That’s not speculation, it’s on record.<\/li>\n
- On March 13, 2026, the Finance Ministry notified the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Amendment Rules 2026, cutting the minimum public float for companies valued above Rs 5 lakh crore from 5% to 2.5%. This single rule change made the Jio IPO commercially viable at its intended scale.<\/li>\n
- Reliance dropped the Offer for Sale (OFS) route entirely. The IPO will now be a 100% fresh issue of approximately Rs 25,000 crore. None of the proceeds go to selling shareholders; they go straight to Jio’s balance sheet, primarily for debt repayment.<\/li>\n
- The DRHP filing with SEBI is expected imminently, within 7 to 15 days per multiple reports. Actual listing has slipped from H1 2026 to July\u2013H2 2026, pushed by geopolitical volatility and FII caution in March 2026.<\/li>\n
- Goldman Sachs, Jefferies, and Citi are among the banks placing Jio in India’s top-5 listed entities by market cap post-listing. Valuation range: Rs 10.8 to Rs 14.1 lakh crore ($130\u2013170 billion).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nAt a 2.5\u20133% dilution on a Rs 10\u201314 lakh crore valuation, Jio’s IPO would raise Rs 33,000\u201338,000 crore, larger than Hyundai India and LIC combined, making it India’s biggest listing on record.<\/div>\n
