Reliance Industries aims for a historic IPO in 2025 for Jio, India’s top telecom player with 479 million subscribers. Reliance Retail’s IPO is expected to come later due to internal restructuring
Reliance Industries Ltd. (RIL), helmed by Mukesh Ambani, plans to launch an initial public offering (IPO) for its telecom unit, Reliance Jio, in 2025. The IPO is expected to be the largest in India’s history, surpassing Hyundai India’s record $3.3 billion listing this year. While analysts project Jio’s valuation at over $100 billion, Reliance Retail's IPO will be postponed due to operational adjustments within the retail division.
The anticipated 2025 IPO aligns with Reliance’s strategy to capitalise on Jio’s strong market position. With 479 million subscribers, Jio has emerged as India’s top telecom provider, attracting investments from global giants like Google, Meta, and Nvidia. Jio’s IPO, pegged by some at an estimated $112 billion, would mark a significant moment in India’s financial landscape as markets hit new highs in 2024. Notably, Reliance aims to surpass Hyundai India’s record-breaking IPO, leveraging the momentum of a bullish Indian stock market.
Reliance has chosen not to list both Jio and its retail division simultaneously, prioritising a phased approach to public offerings. The delay in Reliance Retail’s IPO comes as the company addresses several internal challenges, particularly in its rapidly expanding retail network. The retail arm, which encompasses over 3,000 grocery stores and e-commerce ventures, has faced losses in some physical stores. The company’s rapid growth into multiple retail formats, including groceries, fashion, electronics, and quick commerce, has led to uneven earnings across segments.
Reliance Retail’s recent expansion into fast-delivery services aims to capitalise on the quick-commerce trend, with rapid deliveries becoming a popular service in urban markets. Yet, competition from other quick-commerce startups has impacted the company’s supermarket sales, contributing to its first quarterly revenue decline in three years. The retail division, valued at $112 billion by some analysts, includes notable brands like Hamleys, Jimmy Choo, and Pret A Manger, positioning it as a dominant player in India’s retail market.
Jio Platforms, Reliance’s telecom and digital business unit, is 33% owned by foreign investors, reflecting a global interest in India’s growing digital economy. Reliance Retail, meanwhile, has sold around 12% of its stake to international investors, raising $7.44 billion. As Reliance prepares for Jio’s monumental 2025 IPO, market participants will closely watch Reliance Jio share price trends and updates on the timeline for the retail division’s listing, expected once operational improvements are complete.
