Quick answers: Jio listing day
When will Jio shares list?
Wednesday 28 October 2026, on both NSE and BSE.
At what time does Jio trading start?
IPO shares go through a special pre-open session from 9:00 am, where the listing price is discovered. Normal trading in Jio starts around 10:00 am.
What will the listing price be?
Nobody knows in advance. It is set by orders in the pre-open session. The grey market premium was reported at ₹245 on 20 October, which would imply about ₹1,364 against the ₹1,119 issue price, but GMP is unofficial and changes daily.
Should I sell on listing day or hold?
Decide before 9 am. Selling locks in any listing gain, taxed at 20% as short-term gain. Holding makes sense only if you want Jio as a long-term investment and can sit through price swings.
Shares not in my demat?
They are credited on 27 October. If they are missing on the morning of 28 October, check allotment on the KFin site and contact your broker.

How to sell your Jio shares
- Open your broker app → Holdings → Jio Platforms.
- Tap Sell, choose quantity (all 12 or part).
- Prefer a limit order at a price you are happy with, instead of a market order in the first minutes when prices jump.
- Money reaches your trading account after settlement (T+1); withdraw to your bank after that.
Sell or hold: a quick framework
| If you… | Consider |
|---|---|
| Applied only for a quick listing gain | Selling all or most at listing |
| Want long-term exposure to Jio's telecom and digital business | Holding, after reading the company's results and valuation |
| Are unsure | Selling half: lock some gain, keep some exposure |
| Used borrowed or business money | Selling, and returning the money to the business |
Track the money in DAM
DAM does not track share prices. If you invested business surplus, search Record Expense when money leaves for investing and Record Income when sale proceeds come back, then check Day Book.
Keep business money and investments apart
Record what leaves the business for investing, so your cash flow stays honest.
