Following the announcement of a joint venture with Disney, all eyes in the Indian stock market are on the developments expected from the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries. The 47th Reliance AGM is scheduled for today, August 29, 2024, at 2:00 PM. A key focus of the meeting is anticipated to be the demerger of Reliance Jio and Reliance Retail from Reliance Industries, with the market eagerly awaiting concrete announcements regarding the potential IPOs of these two companies.
Reliance Jio and Reliance Retail IPO Launch Date Expected
“In the 2019 Reliance AGM, it was announced that the IPOs of Reliance Retail and Reliance Jio would be listed on Indian stock exchanges within five years. With that timeframe now at its end, the market is looking for a firm timeline for these highly anticipated IPOs,” said market expert Avinash Gorakshkar. Global brokerage firm Jefferies has forecasted that the Reliance Jio IPO could list in 2025 with a projected market value of $112 billion.
