Fintech company Jio Financial Services (JFS) has reported a steady performance for the fourth quarter of the financial year 2024-25, reflecting both resilience and growth in India’s dynamic fintech sector. The company posted a consolidated net profit of ₹316.11 crore for the January-March 2025 period, marking a marginal year-on-year increase of 1.7% from ₹310.63 crore in the same quarter last year. This modest rise in profit comes amid a robust surge in revenue, underscoring the company’s expanding operational footprint and diversified business streams.
Revenue from operations for the quarter climbed to ₹493.24 crore, up 17.9% compared to ₹418.10 crore in Q4 FY24. Including other income, the total revenue stood at ₹518.36 crore, registering a 24% year-on-year growth. This strong revenue performance was driven by growth in core lending and leasing activities, as well as a notable increase in fee and commission income, which reached ₹39 crore. The company’s lending and leasing business saw a dramatic expansion in assets under management, which soared to ₹10,053 crore by the end of March 2025 from just ₹173 crore a year earlier. This reflects Jio Financial’s aggressive push into retail and corporate lending, supported by its growing presence in ten tier-1 cities and expanded partnerships with banks and wealth managers.
Despite the encouraging revenue trajectory, Jio Financial Services faced a sharp rise in expenses, which increased by 63.5% year-on-year to ₹168.66 crore. The higher expenditure is attributed to the scaling up of operations, investments in digital infrastructure, and recruitment for new business verticals. The company continues to invest in its digital ecosystem, with the JioFinance app now boasting eight million monthly active users and the integration of financial products within the MyJio app further strengthening its digital reach.
For the full year FY25, the company’s net profit stood at ₹1,612.59 crore, showing a marginal improvement over the previous year. The board has recommended a dividend of ₹0.50 per equity share, reflecting its commitment to shareholder returns. Shares of Jio Financial Services responded positively to the results, closing up 1.73% on the BSE. The company’s focus on expanding both digital and physical channels, coupled with its ongoing diversification, signals a strong foundation for future growth despite near-term cost pressures.
