Regulatory Compliance and Approvals

Before making this investment, JFS secured the necessary approvals from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), ensuring full regulatory compliance. The move further solidifies JFS's standing in the financial industry as it looks to broaden its portfolio and market reach.

Recent Developments and Foreign Investment Cap

This stake increase follows a recent milestone where JFS received authorization from the Department of Economic Affairs within the Ministry of Finance to raise its foreign investment cap to 49% of its total equity on a fully diluted basis.

This move is anticipated to attract more participation from foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) and other global investors, adding to the company’s growth momentum. Currently, foreign investors hold 17.55% of JFS shares.

Further, in May 2024, JFS launched the 'JioFinance' app to revolutionise daily finances and digital banking, focusing on a user-friendly and accessible platform.

Collaboration with BlackRock

In April 2024, the company announced a partnership with BlackRock Inc., a global investment management firm, to launch a wealth management and broking business. This collaboration is expected to further diversify JFS's offerings in the financial services sector.

Jio Finance Share Price Performance

On the stock market front, Jio Finance’s share price closed almost flat on Tuesday at ₹323.80, marking a slight gain of 0.17%. However, the stock has delivered a 53.35% return over the past 12 months.
