The Jio IPO subscription<\/strong> reached 19.30 times by 5:19 pm on October 23, 2026, as the \u20b930,213-crore public issue continued to attract strong investor demand ahead of the 7 pm bidding deadline. Qualified institutional buyers (QIBs) led the response, subscribing to their portion 59.02 times, while non-institutional investors (NIIs) subscribed 13.89 times. The retail investor category was subscribed 2.72 times.

Jio IPO Subscription: Day-Wise Demand Increases<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Jio Platforms’ initial public offering opened on October 21 and is scheduled to close on October 23, 2026. Demand strengthened over the three-day bidding period, with overall subscription increasing from 3.04 times on the first day to 5.40 times on the second day. By 5:19 pm on the final day, the overall subscription had climbed to 19.30 times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

October 23, Day 3, as of 5:19 pm<\/td>19.30x<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

By the latest update, investors had bid for approximately 381.14 crore shares against around 19.75 crore shares offered across the public investor categories. The overall subscription multiple measures the number of shares bid for relative to the shares available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sharp increase on the final day reflects the substantial demand generated during the closing stages of the issue, particularly from institutional investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

QIB Portion Subscribed 59.02 Times<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Qualified institutional buyers emerged as the strongest investor category in the Jio IPO. The QIB portion, excluding anchor investors, was subscribed 59.02 times, with bids for approximately 289.22 crore shares against 4.90 crore shares offered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The total bid amount from this category stood at approximately \u20b93.24 lakh crore, calculated using the upper end of the issue’s price band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Non-institutional investors also showed strong interest, subscribing to their portion 13.89 times. This category received bids for approximately 50.63 crore shares against 3.64 crore shares offered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within the NII segment, applications above \u20b910 lakh recorded subscription of 15.79 times, while applications up to \u20b910 lakh were subscribed 10.10 times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The institutional response was the biggest contributor to the overall subscription, with QIB demand significantly exceeding the shares reserved for the category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Retail Investors, Employees and Shareholders Participate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The retail individual investor portion was subscribed 2.72 times, with bids for approximately 23.13 crore shares against 8.50 crore shares offered. The category attracted more than one crore applications, according to the latest subscription data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The employee portion was subscribed 2.88 times, while the shareholder reservation category recorded subscription of 7.52 times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although retail demand was lower than institutional participation in terms of subscription multiples, the retail category still received bids exceeding its available allocation. The response from existing shareholders also remained strong, with their portion subscribed more than seven times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These figures indicate that demand extended across investor categories, even as institutional investors continued to dominate the subscription trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jio IPO Details: Issue Size and Price Band<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Jio Platforms’ public issue is valued at approximately \u20b930,213 crore, with a price band of \u20b91,065 to \u20b91,119 per share. Based on the latest available data, the total bid amount across the public investor categories stood at approximately \u20b94.26 lakh crore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bid amount represents investor demand at the issue price and should not be confused with the money raised by the company. The final subscription multiple and bid amount may change before the bidding window closes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Happens After the Jio IPO Closes?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With the bidding deadline approaching, investors will next focus on the final subscription figures, share allotment and the company’s proposed stock-market debut. The tentative allotment date is October 26, 2026, while listing is scheduled for October 28 on the National Stock Exchange<\/a> (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), subject to the issue timetable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The strong demand recorded so far highlights institutional interest in Jio Platforms, alongside participation from retail investors, employees and existing shareholders. However, high subscription does not guarantee listing gains. The stock’s performance after listing will depend on valuation, market conditions, investor sentiment and expectations for the company’s future growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
