Ambani’s Reliance Jio delays India IPO, 2025 listing not on cards

NEW DELHI/SYDNEY: Indian telecom and digital giant Reliance Jio Platforms, led by billionaire Mukesh Ambani, has decided not to launch its IPO this year as planned, delaying one of the country’s most anticipated stock offerings, two people familiar with the matter said.

Valued by analysts at over $100 billion, Jio wants to achieve higher revenues and a bigger subscriber base for its telecom business, and expand its other digital offerings, so that its valuation can increase further before an IPO, said the first source in describing the rationale for the delay.
