In its latest quarterly results, Jio Financial Services reported a 5.8% year-on-year increase in consolidated net profit, reaching Rs 311 crore in the quarter ended March 2024 (Q4FY24), up from Rs 294 crore in the same quarter of FY23.

For the full fiscal year FY24, the consolidated net profit surged to Rs 1,605 crore from Rs 31 crore in FY23, primarily driven by an increase in income and a higher share of net profit from associates, Attra explained.
