What happened
HDFC Securities took a large margin trading facility position in Jio Platforms. On its debut day, retail investors borrowed ₹2,228 crore ($234.06 million) to purchase Jio Platforms shares, which jumped 26.7%. This made Jio Platforms India's second-largest listed company by market capitalization, valued at around $137 billion.
Why it matters
The heavy borrowing by retail investors reflects strong listing-day demand for Jio Platforms. This activity follows a period where margin-call liquidations reduced India's overall cash market margin trading book.
