Jio Platforms IPO: Issue Structure, Use Of Funds
According to the Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP), Jio Platforms will issue up to 27 crore fresh equity shares, representing around 2.9% of its total equity base after the issue.
The IPO will not have an offer-for-sale component, meaning existing shareholders will not sell their shares as part of the issue. The proceeds will instead go to the company.
Jio Platforms plans to use the funds to prepay certain outstanding borrowings of its material subsidiary, Reliance Jio Infocomm, along with general corporate purposes.

The issue will reserve 50% of the net offer for qualified institutional buyers, 35% for retail individual investors and 15% for non-institutional investors, according to the DRHP.
