Jio Financial Services completed a 25 crore-share allotment to two promoter-group entities after they converted warrants on October 30, 2026. The transaction lifted combined promoter and promoter-group ownership above 50 percent, according to ScanX.

Warrant conversion changes ownership structure

Sikka Ports & Terminals Limited and Jamnagar Utilities & Power Private Limited each converted 12.50 crore warrants into equity shares. The issue price was INR 316.50 per share, including a face value of INR 10 and a premium of INR 306.50.

Sikka Ports' holding rose to 4.65 percent from 2.93 percent, while Jamnagar Utilities' stake increased to 5.52 percent from 3.84 percent. Combined promoter and promoter-group ownership rose from 49.13 percent to 50.98 percent, crossing the 50 percent threshold.

Paid-up capital expands after allotment

The allotment increased Jio Financial Services' paid-up equity capital from 660.31 crore shares to 685.31 crore shares. The absolute number of shares held by public investors remained unchanged, but public ownership represented a smaller proportion of the enlarged share capital.

For investors, the action strengthens the promoter group's control position and adds equity capital to the financial-services platform. The ownership change does not by itself establish a change in operating performance or future returns, so attention remains on the company's lending, payments and investment businesses.
