The issue also set a record as India's largest IPO, with a total size of Rs 30,213 crore, and was the biggest public issue comprising entirely fresh shares.
1) Record public subscription bids: The total demand for the Jio Platforms IPO, including the anchor book, was Rs 7.4 lakh crore.
The IPO received bids from public subscription categories worth more than Rs 4.9 lakh crore, surpassing the comparable demand for LG Electronics India’s 2025 IPO. The milestone made Jio Platforms the most sought-after Indian IPO by the value of bids received outside the anchor investor book, based on publicly available subscription data.
Jio Platforms’ anchor book received bids worth about Rs 2.5 lakh crore for shares worth approximately Rs 8,110 crore allocated to anchor investors. That makes the total stock demand for the IPO at Rs 7 lakh crore. Comparable anchor book figures for other major IPOs are not consistently available publicly, making it difficult to rank offerings on total demand, including anchor investors.
2) First IPO globally to cross one crore applications: Jio Platforms became the first company in global stock market history to receive more than 10 million (one crore) individual investor applications for its IPO.
