Reliance Jio to go public by first half of 2026

At the Reliance Industries AGM, Chairman Mukesh Ambani confirmed that Reliance Jio will launch its IPO in the first half of 2026, subject to approvals.

The offering is expected to be among the largest in India, giving global investors like Meta and Google an exit route. Recent regulatory changes easing float requirements for mega issues are also likely to support the listing.

Jio, which recently crossed 500 million subscribers, has been central to India’s digital transformation. Ambani outlined priorities ahead of the IPO, including universal broadband access, affordable digital services, enterprise digitisation, AI adoption, and global expansion.

For investors, valuation, pricing, and issue size will be key to watch. While the IPO could unlock value for Reliance shareholders, analysts caution about potential holding-company discounts post listing.

Reliance Jio’s debut is set to be a landmark event for India’s capital markets in 2026.
