Reliance Jio Eyes 2.5% Public Offering in 2026 IPO, Could Be India's Largest Ever

  • Reliance Jio Platforms is considering a 2.5% public offering in 2026, potentially becoming India's largest IPO.
  • The IPO could raise over $4 billion, surpassing Hyundai Motor India's $3.3 billion IPO last year.
  • Jio, led by Mukesh Ambani, is India's largest telecom operator with over 500 million users and has diversified into AI.
  • Investment bank Jefferies estimated Jio's valuation at $180 billion in November; some bankers pitch $200-$240 billion.
