what happened
Institutional investors have bid for shares in the Jio Platforms IPO at a level roughly 30 times the portion set aside for anchor buyers, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters. Bidders include Singapore's GIC, Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, Fidelity and BlackRock.
The offering, worth up to $3.2 billion, values the telecoms, cloud and AI group controlled by Mukesh Ambani at $108.3 billion. Institutional bidding opened on Monday for up to 30% of the deal, and retail subscription starts on Wednesday. Reliance, the ultimate owner of Jio Platforms, and the named investors did not respond to Reuters' requests for comment.
why it matters
If completed as planned, the deal would be India's largest IPO on record, so strong demand from large funds matters for the wider local equity market. Robust anchor interest lowers the risk of a weak debut, though final pricing and terms are not disclosed in the report.
