Growth in income was partially offset by higher expenses aligned with expanding business volumes. Share of associates and joint ventures stood at Rs 360 million, lower than Rs 590 million in Q3 FY25 due to ongoing investments in the AMC and wealth management businesses.

Net interest income reached Rs 1.65 billion, up 166 per cent YoY and 18 per cent QoQ. Pre-provisioning operating profit increased to Rs 990 million, marking 130 per cent YoY growth.

Jio Payments Bank delivered strong momentum, with total income growing 10 times YoY and doubling sequentially to Rs 610 million, driven by a threefold rise in transaction throughput. Total deposits stood at Rs 5.07 billion as of December-end, up 94 per cent YoY and 30 per cent QoQ.

Jio Insurance Broking facilitated premium worth Rs 2.12 billion in Q3 FY26, registering 23 per cent YoY growth. Premium from the digital Point-of-Sales Person channel rose approximately five times sequentially.
