Bank of America to Invest Rs 18,268 Crore in Jio Credit by December
Jio Credit is set to receive a capital infusion of Rs 18,268 crore from Bank of America by December, pending regulatory approvals from the RBI and Competition Commission of India. This investment will grant BoFA nearly a 50% stake and lead to a board restructuring with equal representation from both entities and independent directors. Following the infusion, Jio Credit plans to reassess its business strategies and product offerings to potentially grow its loan book from Rs 30,000 crore to around Rs 1.5 lakh crore without requiring additional capital.
