Jio Platforms IPO demand is strongest among institutions
Qualified institutional buyers subscribed for 16.06 times their allocated shares by the intraday update. Non-institutional investors subscribed 10.14 times, while the retail portion was covered 2.10 times.
Application counts and subscription multiples measure different aspects of demand. The former counts applications, while the latter compares shares sought with shares available. Neither establishes how many shares an applicant will receive or the price at which the stock will begin trading.

| Scheduled listing | October 28, 2026, on the BSE and NSE |
Fresh shares account for the entire offering
Jio plans to issue 270 million new equity shares, with no offer-for-sale component. The structure means the offering raises capital for the company rather than providing proceeds to existing shareholders selling stock.
Reliance Industries’ October 14 announcement of the red herring prospectus filing documents an earlier formal step in the proposed IPO. That announcement does not contain the subsequent application totals or subscription figures.
At Rs 30,213 crore, the planned offering would exceed Hyundai Motor India’s Rs 27,859 crore issue to become India’s largest IPO by issue size once completed.
Offer terms and the next scheduled milestones
The upper end of the price band implies an equity valuation of approximately Rs 10.3 lakh crore. Retail applications must be made in multiples of 12 shares.
The basis of allotment is expected to be finalized on October 26, followed by a scheduled debut on the BSE and NSE on October 28. Both remained future milestones at the time of the October 23 intraday update.
Conclusion
The Jio Platforms IPO had attracted substantial demand before bidding ended, but the intraday figures were not a completed result. The next checkpoint was the final subscription tally after the October 23 close, ahead of expected allotment finalization on October 26.
