Sebi issued final observations on Jio Platforms’ draft IPO papers on Friday, 28 August, according to the regulator’s website.

The proposed issue is estimated to raise around Rs 37,700 crore ($3.8 billion).

People familiar with the matter said the listing could value Jio Platforms at about $137 billion and, if completed at the proposed size, would be India’s largest.

A large portion of the proceeds would be used to repay or prepay around Rs 27,500 crore in borrowings of Reliance Jio Infocomm, with the rest for general corporate purposes.
