Jio Platforms shares are scheduled to list on the NSE and BSE on Wednesday, 28 October at 10:00 am. Under the regular equity-market listing process, the stock is expected to undergo a special pre-open session before normal trading begins.

For a newly listed stock, the pre-open session helps determine the equilibrium opening price by matching buy and sell orders.

Jio IPO latest GMP

Shares of the Jio Platforms IPO are trading at a significant premium in the grey market ahead of their stock market debut. According to IPO tracking websites, the issue's grey market premium (GMP) stood at ₹248 per share on 28 October, ahead of listing.

The IPO's GMP trend over the past 25 sessions has been volatile, fluctuating within a ₹125 range without establishing a clear upward or downward trend. The latest premium of ₹248 reflects changing grey market expectations ahead of the company's listing.

It is worth noting that GMP is based on unofficial market transactions ahead of a stock market debut and is not an exchange-recognised price. It can fluctuate depending on investor demand, market sentiment and broader market conditions. Therefore, the actual listing price may vary considerably from the GMP-based estimate.
