Reliance Jio, the dominant player in India's telecom sector, has declared its intentions for an initial public offering (IPO) and market listing in the first half of 2026. This announcement came from Mukesh Ambani during the company's annual shareholder meeting.

Jio, a subsidiary of Reliance Industries Ltd, has amassed a user base of 500 million, marking a significant milestone in its 10-year operation. Ambani emphasized that the IPO will showcase Jio's capacity to generate value equivalent to its global peers.
