Reliance Jio Platforms, Mukesh Ambani’s telecom giant, is moving toward seeking approvals for a Mumbai IPO that could become India’s largest ever. Reuters reports the deal could raise as much as $4 billion, but the launch has been delayed amid softer IPO sentiment following tensions in West Asia, adding uncertainty to the timetable.
Reliance Jio Platforms is reportedly shifting its planned Mumbai listing to a “pure fundraising” route, selling a 2.5% stake. The change comes with earlier exit options being dropped, meaning some shareholders may no longer be able to sell during the offering. The move, confirmed by two sources, reshapes how the IPO proceeds and investor access will work.

Mukesh Ambani says Jio Platforms’ IPO plans are progressing, pointing to a major step forward. He attributes valuation strength to subscriber momentum, improving ARPU, and continued growth. The listing, he suggests, could unlock significant value and potentially rank among India’s largest IPOs—watch closely for what comes next.
Reliance Industries is reportedly set to file draft IPO paperwork for Jio Platforms in May, a move delayed from March after market downturns. The revised draft could include full fiscal year earnings, offering investors a clearer snapshot. If it proceeds, the listing may become India’s largest-ever IPO, depending on regulatory approvals and market conditions.
Gautam Adani has overtaken Mukesh Ambani to become Asia’s wealthiest individual, with a reported net worth of $92.6 billion as of April 16. The jump follows a surge in Adani Group share prices that helped reverse earlier setbacks. Adani is now ranked 19th on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, marking a major turnaround.
Mukesh Ambani has again filed for a nil salary as Reliance Industries chairman, continuing a streak for the fifth consecutive year that began during the COVID-19 pandemic. While Ambani’s own pay is reportedly ₹0, his children Isha, Akash, and Anant earned ₹2.31 crore each as non-executive directors, alongside steady compensation for other executives.
