Anticipation is reaching a fever pitch as Jio Platforms officially opens its anchor book today, marking the beginning of what is set to be the most significant initial public offering in Indian history. With an ambitious issue size of 30,200 crore rupees, the telecom giant is positioning itself for a historic entry into the public markets, attracting intense interest from both institutional investors and retail traders.

While official pricing has been established within a band of 1,065 to 1,119 rupees, the unofficial sentiment in the grey market suggests that investors are expecting far more than just stability upon debut. Current premiums indicate a potential listing gain of approximately 22 percent, which would propel the opening share price toward the 1,365 rupee mark if the issue settles at its upper limit.

This surge in early demand highlights a broad confidence in Jio’s ecosystem and its ability to scale further across digital services. As the anchor investor portion kicks off today, all eyes will be on whether these optimistic grey market projections translate into reality once trading begins on the main exchange.
