Jio Financial Shares Rise Over 1% Post Q1 Results; Rally 21% In 6 Months — Should You Invest?
Jio Financial Share Price: Mukesh Ambani-led Jio Financial Services Ltd (JFSL) were trading 1% higher on Monday, after it reported a 4% year-on-year (YoY) rise in net profit for the quarter ended June 2025 (Q1 FY26), with net profit rising to Rs 324.66 crore from Rs 312.63 crore in the same quarter last year, last week.
The company's revenue surged 46.5% YoY to Rs 612.46 crore, compared to Rs 417.82 crore in Q1 FY25. Total income rose to Rs 619 crore, while total expenses climbed significantly to Rs 261 crore, a 228% increase from Rs 79 crore in the year-ago quarter.
One of the key drivers was interest income, which doubled to Rs 363 crore, up from Rs 162 crore in Q1 FY25.
In a strategic move, JFSL and Germany's Allianz Group, through its wholly owned subsidiary Allianz Europe B.V., signed a binding agreement to set up a 50:50 domestic reinsurance joint venture in India. The JV aims to serve the country's fast-evolving insurance sector.
The partnership will combine JFSL's local market knowledge and digital capabilities with Allianz's global reinsurance strength and expertise in underwriting, pricing, and portfolio management. The JV will also leverage Allianz's existing presence through Allianz Re and Allianz Commercial in India.
The companies noted that operations will begin post-regulatory approvals.
Beyond reinsurance, JFSL and Allianz have also signed a non-binding agreement to explore equally owned joint ventures in life and general insurance segments. This move signals JFSL's broader ambition to build a comprehensive insurance ecosystem.
Commenting on the development, Isha Ambani, Non-Executive Director of JFSL, said: 'India is witnessing a transformative surge in insurance demand, driven by rising prosperity, growing financial awareness, and rapid digital adoption."
Technical Outlook: Possible Breakout on the Horizon
On the technical front, Anshul Jain, Head of Research at Lakshmishree Investment, noted: 'Jio Financial is currently trading within a key resistance zone of Rs 324 to Rs 347. Despite strong overhead pressure, the stock isn't backing down — instead, it's showing signs of bullish accumulation. Volume is steadily declining, which often precedes a breakout after consolidation. That said, price action suggests a range-bound phase could continue for the next 8–10 weeks."
Stock Performance
As of Friday, July 18, 2025, shares of JFSL have rallied 21.65% over the past six months, making it one of the closely watched stocks in the financial sector.

Amid property tax row, GMC extends 20% cut till September
Ghaziabad: In a bid to quell the ongoing dispute over property tax rates, Ghaziabad Municipal Corporation (GMC) has decided to extend the rebate period by two months. So, residents who make their payments till Sept 30 will get a 20% rebate on their tax, a significant extension from the original deadline of July 31. Sanjeev Sinha, the chief tax assessment officer at GMC, said, "With a view to include maximum consumers under the tax bracket, the corporation is offering a time-bound rebate on property tax. Since the start of the fiscal year — from April 1 — a 20% rebate was offered till July 31. However, we have extended this by two more months. Consumers can now avail themselves of a 20% rebate on property tax till Sept 30." Sinha elaborated on the future rebate structure too. "After Sept, the rebate will be slashed by 10%, which the consumers can avail themselves of for another two months — Oct and Nov. For Dec and Jan next year, the rebate will be 5%. After that, no discount will be offered. A consumer paying property tax after March 2026 will be levied with a fine. It is advisable that residents make good use of the offer because it is beneficial from the consumer's as well as GMC's point of view. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Malaysia: New Container Houses (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search Ads Undo It will boost the corporation's coffers."

The state govt has set a target of Rs 600 crore for the fiscal year 2025-26. GMC hopes to collect at least 80% of this target. Despite the extension, confusion prevailed among residents regarding the tax rates. While officials asserted that property tax was being charged at rates before April 1, some residents claimed having received notices based on a new, higher tax slab. IN Jha, a resident of Sidharth Vihar, voiced his concerns. "We thought the GMC board repealed the hiked property tax proposal on June 30. But we are still receiving notices based on the new tax slab, which is at least four times higher than previous tax rates. There is confusion. So far, we have not got a satisfactory reply." Previously, property tax rates ranged from Rs 0.32/sqft for properties on roads less than 12 metres wide to Rs 2.41/sqft for wider roads. Revised rates now range from Rs 0.75/sqft to Rs 4/sqft. GMC calculates tax based on annual rental value (ARV) of a property. GMC's decision to hike property tax has led to protest among councillors. The GMC board recently approved a decision to repeal the hike order, and sent it to the state govt for a final call. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

Ghaziabad plans a four-lane flyover to unclog Hapur Chungi junction
Ghaziabad: Hapur Chungi intersection, one of the city's major traffic bottlenecks, is set to get a four-lane flyover soon, district officials said. The move is aimed at decongesting the area, which sees heavy vehicular movement daily due to the convergence of multiple high-volume routes, including NH-9, NH-58, and the Alt Center, with no grade separation to streamline the traffic flow. The administration has directed the UP Bridge Corporation to submit a detailed project report (DPR) for the proposed project within two weeks. The flyover, proposed to be 800 metres long and four lanes wide, is expected to cost around Rs 98 crore. The move aims to ease traffic on one of the busiest road stretches in the city, where vehicles from NH-9 heading toward Shastrinagar, Meerut, Delhi, and Hapur district frequently get caught in snarls. You Can Also Check: Noida AQI | Weather in Noida | Bank Holidays in Noida | Public Holidays in Noida The bridge will cross over Hapur Chungi, starting from the Diamond railway overbridge and heading towards ALT Centre road, and will serve commuters using the route to Shastrinagar intersection and NH-58. It will also ease traffic moving from Delhi and Sahibabad via Mohan Nagar and Thakurdwara en route to Hapur. DM Ravindra Kumar Mandar said, "Once DPR is received, it will be sent to the state govt for approval, and the construction is expected to be completed within the next one year. The project cost will be borne by the state Public Works Department, which also holds the stretch of the road where this construction will happen." The DM said that apart from the flyover, the administration is also working on addressing local traffic congestion issues. During his inspection of the Collectorate area earlier this week, Mandar instructed officials to expand parking facilities in the complex, which often witnesses haphazard vehicle movement and overcrowding. "The goal is to bring visible improvements in the city's traffic management. We are looking at both short-term steps like better parking management and long-term infrastructure like new bridges to ensure smoother movement for residents," he added.
