Jio Financial Services, Reliance Industries' financial division, was separated from the parent firm today and was listed on NSE(National Stock Exchange) and BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange) separately. It will also be included in the Sensex, Nifty50, and Nifty100.

The oil-to-retail conglomerate said in October that it would demerge its financial services division and float it independently on stock exchanges under the name Jio Financial Services Ltd. in an effort to meet the rising demand for modern financial services among small- and medium-sized enterprises.

Following the demerger of Jio Financial Services Ltd (JFSL) from Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL), the company's shares on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) started at Rs 2,580 per share on Thursday.

In order to decrease churn among its participants, India's NSE modified the criteria on how spun-off companies will be included in indexes in April.

In the case of indexes with fixed constituents, all newly listed businesses were previously removed and replaced with another suitable stock.Any newly listed spun-off companies will be initially included in indexes at a constant price under the new regulations, which is the spread between the demerged company's closing price on the day before the ex-demerger date and the price during a special pre-open session on the ex-demerger date. At the conclusion of its third day of listing, the demerged firm will be taken out of the index.

Hitesh Sethia, a former executive of ICICI Bank (ICBK.NS), will be the CEO, and seasoned banker KV Kamath will serve as non-executive chairman for JFSL.
