RELIANCE Jio Infocomm is expected to file draft papers for its planned $4 billion initial public offering (IPO) within days, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday, citing sources.

According to the report, Jio may submit its draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) in the coming days. The filing is expected ahead of Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani's annual address to shareholders on June 19.

During his annual speech in August last year, Ambani said Jio's public listing would take place in the first half of 2026.

If it goes ahead as planned, the IPO is expected to raise about $4 billion. It would be larger than Hyundai Motor India's $3.3 billion IPO and could become the biggest stock market listing in India.

Reliance Industries shares have fallen about 15 per cent so far in 2026. The company also reported a 13 per cent year-on-year decline in net profit for the March quarter, mainly due to disruptions in its refining business linked to instability in the Gulf region.

The proposed offering comes as fundraising in India's primary market has slowed after two record years. Given Jio's size and market position, the IPO is expected to attract interest from domestic and international investors.

Virgin Media O2 plans thousands of job cuts in £800m cost-saving drive

  • Around £300m of the planned savings will come from reducing workforce costs by 30 per cent over the next two years, although the company has not confirmed the number of redundancies.
  • The group will increase its use of AI, reduce contractor spending and pause further full-fibre upgrades beyond existing commitments.
  • The restructuring comes as Virgin Media O2 faces a £22bn debt burden and continues to lose broadband and mobile customers.

Virgin Media O2 is planning a major restructuring that will reduce staff costs by 30 per cent as the UK telecoms group attempts to generate £800m in annual savings by 2029 and tackle its mounting debt.

The company, jointly owned by Liberty Global and Telefónica, said around £300m of the savings would come from reducing its workforce over the next two years. It has not disclosed the exact number of jobs at risk, but the majority of the reductions are expected to affect non-customer-facing roles.
