22 Oct 2022 , 11:06 AM

The board of Reliance Industries (RIL), at its meeting held on Friday, 21 October 2022, approved to demerge the companys financial services undertaking into Reliance Strategic Investments (RSIL). The financial services undertaking will be renamed Jio Financial Services Limited (JFSL). JFSL would be listed on the Indian stock exchanges. RSIL is currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of RIL and is a RBI-registered non-Deposit taking Systemically Important (ND-SI) Non-Banking Financial Company. RIL shareholders will receive 1 equity share of JFSL of face value Rs 10 for 1 fully paid-up equity share of Rs 10 held in RIL. The entitlement ratio was based on the recommendations of the independent valuer and merchant bankers. The investment of RIL in Reliance Industrial Investments and Holdings Limited (RIIHL), which is a part of the financial services undertaking of RIL, will stand transferred to JFSL. RIIHL is the ultimate beneficiary of 6.1% RIL shares through its interest in Petroleum Trust and Reliance Services and Holdings. Additionally, through the scheme, JFSL will acquire liquid assets to provide adequate regulatory capital for lending to consumers, merchants, etc., and incubate other financial services verticals such as insurance, payments, digital broking, asset management for at least the next 3 years of business operations. The regulatory licenses for the key businesses are in place. With secular growth drivers, the Indian financial services sector is poised to undergo a digital transformation. The sector presents a large, under penetrated and growing addressable market, especially for retail and small-business focused product categories. JFS plans to launch consumer and merchant lending business based on proprietary data analytics to complement and supplement the traditional credit bureau-based underwriting. JFS will continue to evaluate organic growth, joint-venture partnerships as well as inorganic opportunities in insurance, asset management and digital broking segments. JFS will build a business of scale across attractive consumer segments to create value for every stakeholder. JFS will also onboard an experienced management team and adopt best-in-class governance and risk management practices across verticals to create one of Indias leading financial services enterprises. Mukesh Ambani, chairman and managing director, RIL, said: JFS will be a truly transformational, customer centric and digital-first financial services enterprise offering simple, affordable, innovative and intuitive financial services products to all Indians. JFS will be a technology-led business, delivering financial products digitally by leveraging the nation-wide omni-channel presence of Reliances consumer businesses. JFS is uniquely positioned to capture multiple growth opportunities in financial services bringing millions of Indians into formal financial institutions. RIL is Indias largest private sector company. Its activities span hydrocarbon exploration and production, petroleum refining and marketing, petrochemicals, advanced materials and composites, renewables (solar and hydrogen), financial services, retail and digital services. Shares of RIL fell 1.16% to Rs 2471.95 on Friday, 21 October 2022. Powered by Capital Market – Live News
