Warrant Conversion Boosts Promoter Stake in Jio Financial Services
Sikka Ports & Terminals Limited and Jamnagar Utilities & Power Private Limited, both members of the Reliance promoter group, have converted 25 crore warrants into equity shares of Jio Financial Services Limited (JFSL), according to an exchange filing dated April 21, 2026.
The allotment was made at ₹316.50 per share – comprising a face value of ₹10 and a premium of ₹306.50 – resulting in a total capital infusion of approximately ₹7,912.5 crore into the company.
Sikka Ports & Terminals received 12.5 crore shares in this tranche, taking its holding from 6.85 crore shares (1.08%) to 19.35 crore shares (2.93%). Jamnagar Utilities & Power similarly received 12.5 crore shares, with its stake rising from 12.84 crore shares (2.02%) to 25.34 crore shares (3.84%). Together, the two entities now hold 44.69 crore shares, accounting for 6.77% of the expanded share capital.
Company’s Financial Highlights
Jio Financial Services reported a mixed performance for the quarter ended March 2026. The company’s revenue (sales) for the quarter stood at ₹1,019 crore, representing a robust 106.7% increase compared to the ₹493 crore reported in March 2025. However, despite the surge in top-line growth, the net profit for the quarter was ₹272 crore, which reflects a 13.9% decline from the ₹316 crore earned in the same period last year.
This pressure on the bottom line was largely driven by a significant spike in interest expenses, which rose to ₹298 crore in March 2026 from just ₹8 crore in March 2025, alongside a rise in total expenses to ₹414 crore. Consequently, the Operating Profit Margin (OPM) compressed to 59%, down from 69% a year ago, and the Earnings Per Share (EPS) softened slightly to ₹0.43.
