History

Jio Financial Services was initially part of Reliance Industries' financial services businesses. It separated in a demerger to form a new firm, following which it was listed on the stock exchanges.[1] Reliance Industries transferred Rs 15,500 crore of cash and liquid investments to Jio Financial Services as part of the demerger scheme.[4] This gave Jio Financial Services a liquid asset base of Rs 20,700 crore.[4]

The company was listed on the stock exchanges on August 21, 2023.[1] However, it was removed from BSE and FTSE indices in September 2023.[5][6][7] Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) picked up a 6.66% stake in the company.[8] The company is also entering the Asset Management Company (AMC) business in partnership with BlackRock.[9]

As of the end of the June quarter, the company had a liquid asset base of Rs 20,700 crore.[4]
