Jio IPO announced
Earlier, Reliance Industries’ digital services unit Jio Platforms Limited filed draft documents for its IPO on Friday. Through this issue, the company is planning to raise about four billion dollars (about Rs 37,700 crore), due to which its valuation is estimated at about $137 billion. According to the draft document filed with market regulator SEBI, the company will issue a maximum of 27 crore new shares of face value of Rs 10 each, which will be about 2.9 percent of the post-issue paid-up equity capital. This offer is considered an important step for Reliance Industries, as the group wants to create value from its telecom and technology business. This business has been the main engine of growth for the company since its inception in 2016.
