Reliance Jio IPO: Investors May Sell 8% Stake Ahead of Listing

Reliance Jio Platforms is preparing to file for its initial public offering (IPO) in Mumbai. The company may submit its application as early as this week.

Reliance Jio Stake Sale by Existing Investors

The company is in discussions with 13 foreign investors to sell around 8% of their individual holdings as part of the IPO. This will be done through an offer-for-sale (OFS), where existing shareholders sell their stakes instead of the company raising new funds.

Key Investors Involved

Some major investors in Jio Platforms include:

• Meta (9.99% stake)
• Google (7.73% stake)
• KKR
• Vista Equity Partners
• Sovereign funds like Public Investment Fund, Mubadala, and Abu Dhabi Investment Authority

If each investor sells 8% of their holding, it would result in about 2.5% of Jio’s total shares being offered in the IPO.

Reliance IPO Size and Structure

• The IPO is expected to be worth around $4 billion
• Total stake sale may be around 2.5% to 3%
• The company aims to keep some value for retail investors
