IndiaJio Platforms, the digital division of Reliance Industries led by Mukesh Ambani, has received regulatory approval from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) for an initial public offering (IPO). This IPO is expected to raise up to $4 billion (approximately Rs 37,700 crore), making it potentially the largest IPO in Indian history. The approval comes after Sebi reviewed the draft red herring prospectus and confirmed no objections. Jio plans to issue 27 crore shares with a face value of Rs 10 each, leading to a 2.9% equity dilution. The funds raised will be used to reduce debt and support corporate activities. Reliance Industries holds a majority stake in Jio Platforms, while other major shareholders include Meta Platforms, Google, and the Saudi Public Investment Fund.
