Reliance, once dependent on its industrial businesses, reshaped the Indian telecoms industry when it launched its Jio telecoms unit in 2016, taking on rivals such as Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea with its cut-throat pricing.

Canadian pension funds CPPIB, Ontario Municipal Employees' Retirement System (OMERS), British Columbia Pension Corporation (BCPC), sovereign wealth fund Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA), investment firms Mubadala and Singapore's GIC, and Germany's Allianz SE are among the potential investors, the newspaper reported https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/telecom/telecom-news/global-invites-for-jio-invits-pension-funds-sovereign-wealth-funds-line-up/articleshow/69105947.cms.

Earlier this month, Reliance transferred its fiber and tower undertakings to separate companies to move liabilities worth 1.07 trillion rupees ($15.33 billion) out of Jio's balance sheet.

Reliance aims to get at least five investors on board, with some joining the conglomerate's board as co-sponsors, the report added.

Reliance, OMERS, BCPC, Mubadala, GIC and Allianz did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comments, while CPPIB and ADIA declined to comment.
