what happened
According to CNBC-TV18, the Jio Platforms public offering, valued at ₹30,213 crore, has already surpassed earlier large Indian listings, including Hyundai Motor India's ₹27,870 crore issue and LG Electronics India's ₹11,605 crore offering. Those deals mainly involved existing holders selling stock, whereas Jio is issuing only new shares, so the money raised will go directly to the company.
Demand arrived quickly. Qualified institutional buyers, who account for almost half the issue, filled their portion within ten minutes of the opening, and their orders doubled within the next half hour. Anchor orders topped ₹2.5 lakh crore, a record for India. The current benchmark for total IPO demand is about ₹4.4 lakh crore, set by LG Electronics India, and the market is watching whether Jio can beat it.
The company has roughly 533 million subscribers and handles close to 60% of the country's wireless data traffic. It also became the fastest telecom operator in the world to reach 100 million users, taking 170 days.
why it matters
For Indian equities, an offering of this scale brings a large supply of new shares and could shift capital between companies. Strong anchor demand also suggests global institutions are willing to take part in big Indian listings.
