Jio and NSE Set to File for India's Largest IPOs in $6 Billion Double Dhamaka

The Indian primary market is bracing for a historic week as telecom giant Reliance Jio and the National Stock Exchange (NSE) are both expected to file draft IPO papers with SEBI. This massive $6 billion fundraising wave could serve as the much-needed catalyst to revive investor sentiment in a challenging market year.

Reliance Jio: Aiming for a Record-Breaking $4 Billion Listing

Reliance Jio Infocomm is poised to file its draft prospectus, potentially ahead of Reliance Industries’ annual general meeting (AGM) this Friday. If the offering reaches its projected $4 billion mark, it will eclipse the $3.3 billion Hyundai Motor India sale to become the largest IPO in Indian history.

The deal structure has undergone significant changes; reports suggest Reliance is shifting from a planned offer-for-sale to a fully fresh issue following pricing disagreements with existing investors. While Mukesh Ambani previously targeted a first-half 2026 window, this filing comes during a period where Reliance has faced headwinds, including a 15% dip in share price and a 13% year-on-year slide in net profit for the quarter ended March.

NSE: India's Dominant Bourse Prepares for Public Debut

Following closely behind Jio, the National Stock Exchange (NSE) is expected to submit its draft papers by Friday. This move marks the end of years of regulatory hurdles and legal disputes, most notably the long-running co-location case that previously cast a shadow over its listing.

The NSE IPO is expected to raise between $2 billion and $2.5 billion (approximately Rs 20,000 crore). Unlike Jio, this will be structured entirely as an Offer for Sale (OFS), meaning existing shareholders will sell a 4–4.5% stake, and the exchange itself will not receive fresh growth capital. Currently trading in the unlisted market at Rs 1,950–2,050 per share, the NSE is eyeing a valuation near Rs 5 lakh crore. Analysts note that while the exchange commands a rich valuation—trading at roughly 45 times FY26 earnings—it remains more attractively priced than domestic peers like BSE and MCX.

Bu devasa halka arzlar, Hindistan hisse senetleri için karmaşık bir dönemde gerçekleşiyor. 2026 yılındaki toplam halka arz gelirleri, yıllık bazda %39'luk bir düşüş göstererek şu anda 198 milyar Rs (2,1 milyar $) seviyesinde bulunuyor. Bu düşüş, genel hisse senedi oynaklığı ve Orta Doğu'daki jeopolitik gerilimlerle tetiklendi.

Ancak, Elon Musk'ın 75 milyar dolarlık SpaceX halka arzının küresel başarısı, Hindistan piyasalarına psikolojik bir canlanma sağladı. Yeni bir tetikleyici arayan yerel bir birincil piyasa için, bu iki devin başarılı başvuruları, durgun bir dönemden yüksek değerli halka arzların yeni bir dönemine geçiş için gereken ivmeyi sağlayabilir.
