Jio Financial Services Ltd (JFSL) announced on Wednesday that promoter group companies have infused Rs 3.96 billion into the firm to support its expansion plans. The company’s board allotted 500 million convertible warrants at Rs 316.50 per warrant to Sikka Ports & Terminals Ltd and Jamnagar Utilities & Power Private Ltd, both part of the promoter group.

Each entity has received 250 million warrants, and the total amount received—Rs 3,956.25 crore (Rs 39.56 billion)—represents 25 per cent of the total warrant issue price, in accordance with regulatory norms.

This development is part of a broader fundraising initiative approved by the board in July 2025, under which Rs 158.25 billion is to be raised through a preferential issue of convertible warrants to promoter group members.

The Ambani family and affiliated holding entities currently own 47.12 per cent of JFSL.

In its financial results for the quarter ending June 2025, JFSL reported a 4 per cent year-on-year increase in consolidated net profit, rising to Rs 3.25 billion from Rs 3.13 billion in the same quarter last year. The company’s total income also climbed to Rs 6.19 billion, up from Rs 4.18 billion in the June 2024 quarter.

The promoter infusion is expected to strengthen JFSL’s capital base, enabling it to pursue growth opportunities in lending, asset management, and other financial services.
