Reliance Industries-backed Jio Platforms has moved a step closer to its much-awaited public listing after receiving approval from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for its draft initial public offering (IPO) papers.

The public issue is reportedly targeting a fundraise of around Rs 37,700 crore, implying a valuation of nearly Rs 9.5 trillion and potentially making it one of the largest IPOs in India.

Jio Platforms had filed its Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) with SEBI on June 19, setting the stage for what is expected to be one of India's biggest public offerings. Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani, speaking at the company's 49th Annual General Meeting (AGM) in June, said the much-awaited Jio listing would be the company's most important “value creation milestone” of the year.

Ambani said the IPO would unlock significant value for Reliance Industries shareholders while also providing an attractive investment opportunity for other investors.

The IPO will comprise an entirely fresh issue of up to 27 crore shares, with no offer-for-sale (OFS) component. This means the proceeds from the issue will accrue to the company. Up to 50% of the issue will be reserved for Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs), while at least 35% will be allocated to retail individual investors. The company has not yet disclosed the portion that will be reserved for eligible Reliance Industries shareholders and employees.

According to the DRHP, Jio Platforms plans to use Rs 27,500 crore, or nearly $3 billion, from the IPO proceeds to prepay certain borrowings of its subsidiary Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd (RJIL). The remaining proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes. While the final issue size is yet to be disclosed, analysts expect Jio Platforms' IPO to rank among India's largest-ever public offerings. At an expected issue size of around $3 billion, the IPO could surpass Hyundai Motor India's share sale and become the largest listing in India's history.

KFin Technologies will serve as registrar to the issue, while the book-running lead managers include Kotak Mahindra Capital Company Limited, Morgan Stanley India Company Private Limited, BofA Securities India Limited, Axis Capital Limited, BNP Paribas, Citigroup Global Markets India Private Limited, CLSA India Private Limited, DAM Capital Advisors Limited, Goldman Sachs (India) Securities Private Limited, HDFC Bank Limited, HSBC Securities and Capital Markets (India) Private Limited, ICICI Securities Limited, IIFL Capital Services Limited, Jefferies India Private Limited, JM Financial Limited, J.P. Morgan India Private Limited, SBI Capital Markets Limited, UBS Securities India Private Limited and 360 ONE WAM Limited.
