The industrialist said the company will file its DRHP with SEBI later today. This comes after he announced Jio’s IPO plans at the company’s previous AGM last year.
What Mukesh Ambani said about Jio IPO
Speaking at the company’s 49th Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Friday, Mukesh Ambani said, “This is a deeply emotional moment for me, for the entire Reliance Family, and millions of its shareholders. The relationship Reliance shares with its shareholders is a deep and sacred relationship founded on pride, trust, respect, and shared growth.”
The industrialist added that the proposed listing of Jio will show the world that India can build technology companies of global scale, global capability, and global value. “I assure you, and all prospective new investors, that a brighter future awaits Jio,” he further said.
Mukesh Ambani announced that Reliance Jio Infocomm Chairman Akash Ambani, Reliance Retail Ventures Executive Director Isha Ambani Piramal and Reliance Industries Executive Director Anant Ambani will lead the IPO process.
“The Jio revolution is truly a result of the courage, creativity, and commitment of thousands of young Indian engineers. Before Jio, many believed that India could only import technology from the world. Our engineers proved otherwise. Today, Jio is not merely integrating technology. It is creating original technology,” Mukesh Ambani said.

Jio is also building its own ground station infrastructure in India – strengthening India’s atma nirbharta in space,” he added.The proposed Jio IPO is expected to overtake NSE’s nearly Rs 30,000 crore and Hyundai Motor India’s Rs 27,870 crore (about $3.3 billion) public offering to become the country’s largest-ever IPO.
