Reliance Industries had kept July 20 as the record date for allotment of its demerging Financial Services business to be named as Jio Financial Services Limited (JFSL).

Comparing the newly discovered ex-JFSL price of RIL shares, and the pre-demerger cum-JFSL share price on the previous day, the market has valued each JFSL share at Rs 261.85 on the NSE.

At this share price, the entire share capital of JFSL will be valued at Rs 1,72,000 crore or over $21 billion.

This valuation will put JFSL at India's 32nd most valuable company by market capitalization ahead of the likes of Adani Ports, Adani Green, Tata Steel, Coal India, HDFC Life, IOC, Bajaj Auto.
