In a disclosure filed with BSE Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited, the company confirmed the successful formation of a domestic general insurance entity. This move follows a prior agreement aimed at expanding the firm’s footprint within the Indian insurance sector.
The new joint venture, named “Jio Allianz General Insurance Limited” (JAGIL), was officially incorporated on May 12, 2026. This entity is a 50:50 partnership between Jio Financial Services Limited and Allianz Europe B.V..
