Why Is Reliance Industries Trading Lower?
Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) has seen a decline in its stock price recently. The key reason is the ongoing Jio Platforms IPO process, which is scheduled to list in H1CY26.
Impact of Jio Platform IPO on RIL Shareholders
During the IPO, existing RIL shareholders will not directly receive any benefits. This often creates short-term selling pressure on the stock.
Holding Company Discount Effect
The market also factors in a holding company discount. Typically, a 20%–30% discount is applied, which can reduce the stock’s valuation by approximately ₹100–₹150 per share.
Summary
In short, the combination of the Jio Platform IPO process and the holding company discount is keeping RIL shares under pressure in the market.
