Jio Platforms IPO Listing Today: Will Shares Open Near Rs. 1,290 Despite Higher GMP?
Jio Platforms shares are set to debut on the NSE and BSE today, Wednesday, 28 October 2026. Chanakya’s listing estimate is around Rs. 1,290— a gain of Rs. 171, or approximately 15.28%, over the issue price of Rs. 1,119. The key question: will strong IPO demand outweigh weak market sentiment?
Reliance’s telecom and digital subsidiary attracted substantial investor interest during its 21–23 October subscription window. The public issue size at the upper price band was Rs. 30,213 crore.

Jio Platforms IPO GMP: What Does the Premium Indicate?
A grey market premium of Rs. 237–240 would imply a price of Rs. 1,356–1,359, approximately 21.18%–21.45% above the issue price.
However, GMP varies across trackers and timestamps, with some reports indicating a higher premium. It is an unofficial sentiment indicator, not an assured listing price.
Why Is Chanakya’s Listing Estimate Below the GMP Indication?
Our estimate of around Rs. 1,290 takes a more cautious view of opening-day demand. Weak broader-market sentiment, valuation sensitivity relative to Bharti Airtel and potential profit-booking by successful applicants could restrict the opening premium.
Grey market positioning may also influence sentiment, although actual exchange orders will determine price discovery. Peer valuations provide context; differences in earnings, growth and business mix mean they cannot independently establish Jio’s listing price.
Chanakya View
Jio Platforms could deliver a healthy debut, but investors should distinguish grey market expectations from executable exchange prices. Our listing estimate is around Rs. 1,290, implying a 15.28% gain over Rs. 1,119.
The decisive signal will be whether buying absorbs selling after the opening auction. A strong debut followed by sustained demand would carry more weight than the initial premium alone.
