- A 1,000 rupee investment in Reliance Industries' 1977 IPO fetched 100 shares of face value 10 rupees each.
- Without adjusting for dividends, that investment is now worth nearly 50 lakh rupees; including the Jio Financial demerger, the value is higher still.
- Bonus issues (1980, 1983, 1997, 2009, 2017, 2024) took the share count from 100 to 4,096 shares.
- Shareholders also received one Jio Financial share for every Reliance share held on the record date, adding about 4.5 lakh rupees in value.
- A comparable 1,000 rupee gold investment in 1977 (20.58 g) would be worth only 3 lakh rupees today, versus over 50 lakh rupees for Reliance shares.
- Jio Platforms is noted to be on course to become the biggest IPO in Indian history.
