CONTEXT NEWS

Reliance Industries is reworking the listing structure for its telecom and digital unit Jio Platforms, the Economic Times reported on May 11, citing three unnamed people involved in the process. The Indian group is now working towards an initial public offering only of new shares in Jio, as opposed to the previous plan of existing investors selling some of their stakes. A disagreement over pricing drove the change, the report added.
