Reliance Jio Platforms’ IPO saw the institutional quota fill within minutes, with 83% of total bids received in the first hour of the book building period.
Reliance Jio Platforms Ltd. announced its initial public offering on Thursday, attracting a surge of institutional interest. Within the first hour of the book building window, the company’s institutional quota was fully subscribed, reflecting strong demand from large investors.
According to the company’s filing, 83 percent of the total bids were received during the initial hour, a figure that underscores the confidence of the investment community in Jio’s growth prospects. The remaining 17 percent of bids were collected over the remaining 23 hours of the book building period.
The IPO, priced at ₹1,200 per share, was expected to raise approximately ₹4,500 crore. The swift uptake of the institutional quota suggests that the market views Jio Platforms as a valuable addition to its portfolio, especially given its dominant position in India’s telecom and digital services sectors.
Jio Platforms’ management highlighted that the company will use the proceeds to expand its digital infrastructure and invest in new technology initiatives. The successful book building is seen as a positive signal for the broader Indian equity market, which has been cautious amid global economic uncertainties.
