All About Reliance Jio IPO

It is expected that Reliance Jio will implement a 20% tariff increase after the elections as part of its strategy to achieve an IPO. Analysts believe that failing to implement this price hike could negatively impact the valuation of the company. However, this projection relies on the expectation of a 20% tariff increase in the quarter of 2025.

Jefferies suggests that if Jio goes public in 2025 as planned it would be more receptive to tariff increases, in 2024 to stimulate growth. If there are no increases, the projected earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) for Jio in the year 2026 would decrease by 22% to $7.6 billion. This would have an impact on its valuation when it goes public.
