Jio Platforms’ IPO drew strong investor demand, with the issue fully subscribed within about 100 minutes and bids totaling around 22 times the shares on offer.

Banks’ fees for the Jio IPO totaled roughly ₹196 crore, about 0.65% of the ₹30,213 crore issue size, a rate lower than many past Indian mega-offerings.

The combination of heightened demand and competitive underwriting terms reflects Jio’s market leverage and strong investor appetite.

By comparison, larger windfalls went to bankers in earlier mega-deals: Hyundai Motor India, One 97 Communications, and Swiggy, with higher fee pools on much bigger offers.

The market shows a shift: strong demand coexists with compressed banker fees and fierce competition for credibility and future business in Indian listings.

Jio’s high subscription level contrasted with Hyundai’s relatively modest 2.4x subscription, highlighting Jio’s superior demand.

Observers attribute Jio’s lower underwriting costs to Reliance’s bargaining power and long-standing bank relationships that drive competition for league-table standings.

Fee pools are constrained by intense competition among Indian banks, with many accepting thinner economics for marquee roles, hoping for future mandates and league-table gains.

India’s marquee listings see pressure on fees, exemplified by NSE’s blockbuster IPO earlier this year paying roughly ₹190 crore to a 20-bank syndicate on a multi-billion-dollar offering.

Jio Platforms’ roughly $3.1 billion IPO attracted robust demand, with significant participation from investors.

On average, banks earned about ₹10.3 crore each for Jio’s managers, versus roughly ₹99 crore per bank for Hyundai’s managers.
