Jio Platforms Shifts Mumbai IPO to Fresh Fundraise, Offering 2.5% Stake

The change signals major backers plan to hold their stakes instead of selling into the listing.

Overview

  • Reuters, citing unnamed sources, reports the offering will issue new shares equal to about 2.5% of Jio Platforms.
  • The earlier plan was an offer-for-sale that would have let existing shareholders sell stock and raised no new cash for the company.
  • People familiar with the talks said several big investors chose not to sell, preferring to stay invested for the long term.
  • Jio runs the world’s second-largest mobile network by users after China Mobile and counts Meta, Google and Vista Equity Partners as shareholders.
  • Jio Platforms has not commented on the reports, and key details such as formal filings and timing have not yet been disclosed.
