Jio Platforms enters the public market with a vast Indian connectivity business, while Bharti Airtel remains an established listed competitor. Their operating figures reveal an important contrast: Jio serves a larger broadband subscriber base, but Airtel earns more monthly revenue per mobile customer. The IPO also brings Jio’s earnings valuation into focus. Here is what the latest available disclosures show. Jio and Bharti Airtel: Key Numbers Compared Metric Jio Platforms / RJIL Bharti Airtel Broadband subscriptions, August 2026 53.803 crore 38.639 crore Broadband market share, August 2026 48.86% 35.09% India monthly ARPU, June 2026 quarter ₹215.60 ₹264 ARPU, March 2026 quarter ₹214 ₹257 FY26 diluted EPS ₹33.59 ₹44.37 P/E multiple 33.31× implied at ₹1,119 40.71× (RHP peer comparison) Broadband shares calculated from TRAI’s August 2026 total of 110.121 crore subscriptions. Airtel FY26 EPS and P/E are cited from the peer comparison referred to in Jio’s RHP; the full peer-table pages should be checked before publication. The two ARPU figures refer to India mobile/service operations, while Jio’s FY26 EPS is consolidated. Subscriber Scale: Jio Leads the Broadband Market TRAI’s August 2026 release puts Reliance Jio Infocomm at 53.803 crore broadband subscriptions, against 38.639 crore for Bharti Airtel . Jio therefore had approximately 15.16 crore more broadband connections. Against the industry’s 110.121 crore broadband connections, those figures translate into market shares of approximately 48.86% and 35.09%, respectively. These are broadband shares covering wired and wireless connections, not shares of every mobile SIM in India. Jio’s prospectus separately shows 53.33 crore total customers at June-end, up from 49.81 crore a year earlier. That is growth of about 7.1% on the company’s reported customer measure. It added 89 lakh customers in the June quarter. Together, the figures demonstrate Jio’s ability to expand an already large base. ARPU: Airtel Leads on Revenue per User The June 2026 quarterly figures offer a direct comparison. Jio reported average monthly revenue per user of ₹215.60, up from ₹208.80 a year earlier. Airtel reported India mobile ARPU of ₹264, versus ₹250 in the comparable quarter. The difference was ₹48.40 per month in Airtel’s favour. Jio’s March-quarter ARPU was ₹214, while Airtel reported ₹257. Both operators improved their monetisation in the subsequent quarter. The difference matters because adding customers does not automatically produce equivalent revenue growth. Higher spending per customer can support earnings and network investment. Jio’s scale is a strength; Airtel’s stronger ARPU shows why customer quality and product mix deserve equal attention. Jio’s IPO Valuation: What Does the P/E Show? According to Jio Platforms’ Red Herring Prospectus (RHP), Bharti Airtel’s P/E ratio stood at 40.71×, compared with Jio’s implied P/E of approximately 33.31× at the upper IPO price band of ₹1,119 per share. On those stated bases, Jio is offered at a lower earnings multiple, although differences in business mix, capital structure, and accounting treatment limit any simple valuation verdict. The RHP reports Jio Platforms FY26 revenue of ₹1,46,885.3 crore, EBITDA of ₹76,255.4 crore and profit after tax of ₹30,049.1 crore. Its June 2026 quarter revenue reached ₹39,172.9 crore and EBITDA ₹20,864.5 crore. These audited/restated prospectus figures help investors assess the earnings underpinning the issue price, beyond subscriber counts alone. What the Comparison Means for Investors Jio’s edge lies in its subscriber reach and expanding broadband services, whereas Airtel reports higher India mobile revenue per user. Valuation is the third part of the picture: Jio’s IPO P/E appears lower than the cited peer multiple, but its future performance still depends on tariff realisations, capital expenditure, customer retention and returns from digital services. Those operating drivers are more useful than treating any single ratio as a buy signal. Conclusion The figures suggest two different strengths: Jio’s broader broadband footprint and Airtel’s stronger mobile ARPU. For Jio IPO readers, the key question is how effectively its large customer base can translate into sustainable earnings without excessive capital spending. The official disclosures provide enough information to make that comparison directly, while the remaining valuation caveats are best addressed transparently.

New Delhi: Jio Platforms' Rs 30,213-crore initial public offering (IPO) was subscribed 3.03 times on the first day of bidding on Wednesday, driven by strong demand from institutional investors, even as retail participation remained below the fully subscribed mark. Jio Platforms IPO Day 1 subscription The public issue of Reliance Industries' digital and telecom arm received bids for approximately 59.85 crore shares against 19.75 crore shares available for subscription, according to data available at 5:42 pm on October 21. Qualified institutional buyers (QIBs) led the response, subscribing 9.02 times their reserved portion of 4.90 crore shares. The institutional category accounted for 24.8 per cent of the total shares available for public subscription. Non-institutional investors (NIIs) subscribed 1.60 times their allotted quota of 3.64 crore shares. Within this category, large non-institutional investors placing bids above Rs 10 lakh subscribed 1.74 times, while the portion for smaller NIIs was booked 1.32 times. Retail investors, however, showed relatively subdued demand compared with institutional bidders. The retail individual investor (RII) category was subscribed 0.72 times, or 72 per cent, against its reserved allocation of approximately 8.50 crore shares, which accounts for 43.1 per cent of the total public subscription pool. The employee reservation portion was subscribed 1.31 times, while the quota reserved for eligible Reliance Industries shareholders attracted 1.40 times subscription. The strong opening-day response came after the IPO achieved full subscription within the first two hours of bidding, with institutional participation accounting for much of the early demand. Jio Platforms had also witnessed significant interest during its anchor investor placement on October 19, raising approximately Rs 8,110 crore from institutional investors ahead of the public issue. Jio Platforms IPO GMP Meanwhile, Jio Platforms' shares were commanding a grey market premium (GMP) of Rs 261 on October 21, representing a premium of 23.32 per cent over the upper issue price of Rs 1,119. Based on the prevailing GMP, the indicative listing price works out to Rs 1,380 per share, suggesting a potential gain of Rs 261 per share or Rs 3,132 for a minimum lot of 12 shares. However, grey market premiums are unofficial indicators of investor sentiment and do not guarantee listing prices or actual returns. Jio Platforms IPO price band, issue size and listing date Jio Platforms has fixed its IPO price band at Rs 1,065 to Rs 1,119 per equity share, with a minimum application size of 12 shares. At the upper end of the price band, retail investors need to invest at least Rs 13,428 for one lot. The Rs 30,213-crore offering, India's largest IPO by issue size, comprises a fresh issue of approximately 27 crore equity shares, with no offer for sale by existing shareholders. The company plans to utilise up to Rs 27,500 crore from the proceeds towards repayment of borrowings of its subsidiary Reliance Jio Infocomm, while the remaining funds will be used for general corporate purposes. The IPO will remain open for subscription until Friday, October 23. The basis of allotment is expected to be finalised on October 26, followed by refunds and the credit of shares to demat accounts on October 27. Jio Platforms shares are scheduled to make their stock market debut on the BSE and NSE on October 28, 2026.
