Ambani: Reliance Jio plans to file for IPO

Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) is gearing up for a significant milestone in its growth journey. The company, led by Mukesh Ambani, has announced plans to file for an Initial Public Offering (IPO) for Reliance Jio Platforms. This move comes amidst a wave of anticipation and expectation from investors and financial analysts alike.

According to the latest updates from Reliance's Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on August 29, 2025, Mukesh Ambani stated that Jio has now crossed the 500 million customers milestone. This remarkable achievement underscores the company's strong position in the digital and telecom sectors. The AGM also saw the company's Chairman and Managing Director reaffirming its commitment to transforming its operating model into a Deep-Tech company [3].

The decision to go public with Jio Platforms is expected to unlock substantial value for shareholders. Analysts and brokerages have been closely tracking the potential IPO timelines for Jio Platforms and Reliance Retail, believing that separate listings could unlock significant value for investors [2].

Global brokerage CLSA, which has retained an Outperform rating on Reliance Industries, has identified several key catalysts for the company's growth. These include the Jio IPO, expansion of media and consumer businesses, and clarity on its AI strategy. The brokerage has a target price of Rs 1,650 for Reliance Industries, implying an upside of 16% from current levels [1].

The upcoming AGM is anticipated to provide further clarity on the IPO timelines and other strategic initiatives. Investors are eagerly awaiting updates on the FMCG expansion, JioHotstar monetization, and quick commerce initiatives, among other growth strategies [2]. Additionally, the company's green energy roadmap, which aims to rival its oil-to-chemicals (O2C) business in profitability, is another key area of focus [2].

As Reliance Industries continues to navigate through its growth trajectory, the IPO of Jio Platforms is set to be a pivotal moment. This move is expected to not only bring in fresh capital but also provide investors with an opportunity to participate in the company's future growth prospects.
