Billionaire <keyword id="3820" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Mukesh-Ambani">Mukesh Ambani</keyword>'s firm had on April 30 announced fund raising of Rs 53,125 crore by way of a 1:15 rights issue -- India's biggest and the first such issue by the firm in nearly three decades. Reliance had earlier fixed May 14 as the record date for determining shareholders' eligible to apply for the issue. In a regulatory filing, the company said the rights issue committee of the board of directors at its meet on May 15 approved issue opening on May 20 and closing date of June 3. "Abridged letter of offer, application form of rights issue, and rights entitlement letter, to be sent to the eligible equity shareholders of the company," it said. One share will be offered for every 15 shares held at Rs 1,257, a 14 per cent discount to the closing price for April 30. Reliance share price has since risen to Rs 1,458.90 (Friday's closing price) but rights issue price remains the same. The proposed rights issuance will be the first by Reliance in three decades. Typically, cash-strapped companies use rights issues to raise money when they really need it. In these rights offerings, companies grant shareholders the right, but not the obligation, to buy new shares at a discount to the current trading price. But for Reliance, it is not about raising funds as it has significant liquidity with USD 23.4 billion of cash and equivalent. It is being seen as an attempt to reward the shareholders, cut debt at the group and underscore promoters' faith in the Reliance growth story. Promoter Ambani family has under-written the entire rights issue, pledging to buy shares that are unsubscribed. The last time Reliance tapped the public for funds was in 1991 when it had issued convertible debentures. The debentures were subsequently converted into equity shares at Rs 55 apiece. Ambani had in August last year unveiled plans to cut debt to zero by 2021. As part of this plan, RIL has been seeking strategic partnerships across its businesses while targeting to deleverage the balance sheet. At the end of March quarter, RIL had an outstanding debt of Rs 3,36,294 crore. It also had cash in hand of Rs 1,75,259 crore, bringing the net debt position to Rs 1,61,035 crore. As part of its balance sheet deleveraging plans, Reliance has sold minority stake in its digital unit Jio Platforms to likes of Facebook. It is also talking to Saudi Aramco for selling a fifth of its oil-to-chemicals business for an asking of USD 15 billion and has sold half of its fuel retail venture to BP Plc for Rs 7,000 crore and telecommunication tower business to Brookfield for Rs 25,200 crore. Together, proceeds from these transactions will result in reduction in RIL's net debt.

The excitement sobered down along with the lull, post the flurry of investments. However, the shares of RIL are getting hot again as some of the promises move closer to reality. The nearly 6% intraday rally in the shares of India’s biggest conglomerate, which has interests in everything from oil and gas to telecom to retail, is the most significant move in the stock in the last 2 months. The surge in RIL shares has been so strong that it accounts for nearly all the gains on the benchmark index, Nifty, as of 1 pm (May 28). Compared to the last week, it is up by over 2%. In comparison, RIL is up by 5.7%. <div type="image" title="RIL 31_03_21 to 28_05_21." msid="83031994" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;RIL share price&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> However, investors will do well to remember that this is still within the range of ₹1,900 to ₹2,200 that RIL has shuttled between since November last year. A Bank of America Global Securities report dated May 19, 2021 suggests that RIL is in the driver’s seat when it comes to telecom, retail and digital fronts. “Overall, we find RIL well placed in its consumer business: telco, retail &amp; digital to benefit in coming years as it gains traction with improving scale,” the report stated. This is the fourth time the stock of Reliance has seen a weekly gain of over 4% this year. <table style="border-width: initial; border-style: none; table-layout: fixed; width: 468pt;"></colgroup></colgroup><tbody><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Period </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Gains in RIL share price </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Week ending January 15, 2021 </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">7.08% </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Week ending February 5, 2021 </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">6.83% </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Week ending April 23, 2021 </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">6.17% </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Week ending May 28, 2021 </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">5.71% </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Week ending May 14, 2021 </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">3.78% </td></tr></tbody></table>Source: BSE <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Google to partner with Reliance Jio for low-cost smartphones" comment="subhead" text="Google to partner with Reliance Jio for low-cost smartphones">Google to partner with Reliance Jio for low-cost smartphones</cmsannotation> One of the triggers behind the massive surge in RIL’s share price could be news of the partnership with tech giant Google for a low-cost Jio smartphone.

Despite the nearly 6% rally, this is only the fourth best week for Reliance Industries’ shares this year

New Delhi, Jun 5 () Shares of Reliance Industries, which gained over 2 per cent in early trade on Friday, later closed the day on a flat note due to profit-booking. In early trade, shares of Reliance Industries hit one-year high after the company announced sale of 1.85 per cent stake in its digital unit, Jio Platforms, to Abu Dhabi-based sovereign investor Mubadala. On the BSE, the heavyweight stock closed at Rs 1,580.60, up 0.04 per cent after rising 2.38 per cent to Rs 1,617.70 -- its 52-week high -- during the day. It closed at Rs 1,579.20, a marginal decline of 0.03 per cent on the NSE after surging 2.41 per cent to its one-year high of Rs 1,618 during the trade. Earlier in the day, Reliance Industries announced the sale of 1.85 per cent stake in its digital unit to Mubadala for Rs 9,093.60 crore, the sixth deal in as many weeks that will inject a combined Rs 87,655.35 crore in the oil-to-telecom conglomerate to help it pare debt. "Mubadala Investment Company (Mubadala) will invest Rs 9,093.60 crore in Jio Platforms at an equity value of Rs 4.91 lakh crore and an enterprise value of Rs 5.16 lakh crore," the company said in a statement. With this investment, Jio Platforms has raised Rs 87,655.35 crore from leading global technology and growth investors including Facebook, Silver Lake, Vista Equity Partners, General Atlantic, KKR and Mubadala in less than six weeks. Jio Platforms, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Reliance Industries Ltd, is a next-generation technology company. SUM HRS

Reliance Industries shares close flat

New Delhi, Jun 25 () Fitch Ratings on Thursday said it has upgraded Reliance Industries Ltd's rating to 'BBB+' from 'BBB' as the company's financial profile has improved following sale of nearly 25 per cent stake in Jio and Rs 53,124 crore equity raise. "Fitch Ratings has upgraded India-based RIL's long-term local-currency issuer default rating (IDR) to 'BBB+' from 'BBB'. The Outlook is Stable," the ratings agency said in a statement. At the same time, the agency has affirmed RIL's long-term foreign-currency IDR at 'BBB-' with a stable outlook. 'BBB' ratings indicate that expectations of default risk are currently low. "The upgrade of the local-currency IDR is driven by our expectations of an improvement in RIL's financial profile, with net debt reductions underpinned by proceeds from a stake sale in its subsidiary, Jio Platforms Ltd, and a rights issue, and our forecast of positive free cash flow (FCF) during the financial year ending March 2021 (FY21)," it said. Fitch forecast that RIL's net debt/EBITDA will fall to 0.6x in FY21 from 2.3x in FY20. "RIL's local-currency IDR also reflects its strong business profile with a market leading position and diversified cash flows from a mix of oil to chemical and consumer businesses," the statement said. Fitch kept the stable outlook on RIL's foreign-currency IDR despite the revision in Indian sovereign's rating outlook to 'negative' from 'stable' on June 18, as it expected the company's hard currency (HC) external debt-service ratio to improve over the next 12 months. "Our expectation is driven by RIL's ability to reduce its foreign-currency borrowings outside India from the proceeds of the stake sale in Jio Platforms and its rights issue," it said. Fitch said proceeds of Rs 1.15 lakh crore from 24.7 per cent stake sale in Jio Platforms and the completion of its Rs 53,124 crore rights issue, with Rs 13,300 crore in cash received to date and the balance in FY22, would cut RIL's FY21 net leverage to well below 1.5x. It expected RIL's capital expenditure (capex) to fall from FY21 following the completion of most of its planned spending in its various business segments. The company's expansion of its fibre business is likely to be the major capex driver over the medium term, along with its investment in the domestic upstream business in a joint venture with BP plc over the next two-to-three years. FCF should turn positive in FY21, the first time since FY13, driven by robust operating cash flows, especially from its consumer businesses, and lower capex, it said. Fitch expects RIL's oil-to-chemical segments to face volume and margin headwinds due to a weakening of demand for refined products and petrochemicals in 2020, with gradual recovery through 2021 to pre-COVID-19 levels. Its telecom business, Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd (Jio), is likely to be less affected by the coronavirus lockdown and contribute about 35 per cent of consolidated EBITDA in FY21 (from 26 per cent in FY20). Fitch said Jio's average revenue per user (ARPU) is expected to rise to Rs 147 in FY21 from Rs 131 in Q4 FY20. Also, 30 million subscribers are likely to be added in FY21 after 80 million additions in FY20. The rating agency expects RIL's retail segment revenue, excluding the digital-service business, to rise by 10 per cent in FY21 (compared to 15 per cent in FY20). "Retail revenue would be affected by lower footfall in its physical retail stores and a drop in spending on discretionary electronics and lifestyle products. "However, the impact will be mitigated by higher grocery sales and its partnership with Facebook, which allows users to buy goods and services using WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger," it added.

NVIDIA and Reliance Industries to build AI computing infrastructure in India

Billionaire Mukesh Ambani's <keyword id="6487" type="DOMAIN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Reliance-Industries-Ltd">Reliance Industries Ltd</keyword> has bought Britain's iconic country club and luxury golf resort, Stoke <keyword id="6379196" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="PARK">Park</keyword>, for 57 million pounds (about ₹592 crore). The acquisition adds to <keyword id="10926" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Reliance">Reliance</keyword>'s current stake in Oberoi hotels and hotel/managed residences in Mumbai that it's developing. Over the past four years, Reliance has announced USD 3.3 billion in acquisitions with 14 per cent in retail, 80 per cent in technology, media, and telecom (TMT) sector, and 6 per cent in energy. The UK-based firm, which owns a hotel and golf course in Buckinghamshire, UK, will add to Reliance's consumer and hospitality assets, the firm said in a filing late on Thursday. "Reliance Industrial Investments and Holdings Ltd (RIIHL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of <keyword id="45442" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Reliance-Industries-Limited">Reliance Industries Limited</keyword>, has on April 22, 2021, acquired the entire issued share capital of Stoke Park Limited, a company incorporated in the United Kingdom, for 57 million pounds," it said. Stoke Park Limited owns and manages sporting and leisure facilities in Stoke Poges, Buckinghamshire, UK. The facilities include a hotel, conference facilities, sports facilities and one of the highest rated golf courses in Europe. "RIIHL will look to enhance the sports and leisure facilities at this heritage site, while fully complying with the planning guidelines and local regulations," Reliance said. This acquisition will add to the consumer and hospitality footprint of the oil-to-telecom conglomerate. The group already has investments in EIH Ltd (Oberoi Hotels) and is developing state-of-the-art convention centre, hotel and managed residences in BKC Mumbai. This is the second major acquisition of an iconic British company by Ambani, 64. He bought British's iconic toy store Hamleys in 2019, to strengthen its retail footprint. Stoke Park has always had a close relationship to Pinewood Studios and the British film industry. Two James Bond movies -- Goldfinger (1964) and Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) were filmed at Stoke Park. The epic duel between James Bond (<keyword id="6528947" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="sean-connery">Sean Connery</keyword>) and Goldfinger (Gert Frobe) is still considered to be the most famous game of golf in cinematic history, the Park stated on its website. Scenes like mini-break and rowing scenes from Bridget Jones's Diary (2001) starring Hugh Grant, Renee Zellweger and Colin Firth were also filmed at the estate with the Georgian-era mansion set in the midst of 300 acres of parkland. Stoke Park hosts 49 luxury bedrooms and suits, 27-hole golf course, 13 tennis courts and 14 acres of private gardens.

Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries buys Britain's iconic country club Stoke Park for ₹592 crore

<keyword id="6355199" type="CITY" weightage="80" keywordseo="Reliance-Industries">Reliance Industries</keyword> has been given the go-ahead by the government to sell up to 1.2 lakh tonnes of <keyword id="6360114" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="80" keywordseo="LPG">LPG</keyword> produced at its plants to private cooking gas marketers. 
 

	The LPG Control Order mandates that all cooking gas (LPG) produced locally must be supplied to state-run fuel retailing companies as India is deficient in LPG and has to import a part of the requirement. 
	 
	However, under the Parallel Marketing Scheme (PMS), private companies are allowed to import and market LPG to bulk consumers. 
 

	RIL has been permitted to sell up to 10,000 tonnes per month to parallel LPG marketers, according to an oil ministry order. 
	 
	The approval, valid from April 1 to March 31, 2016, is, however, subject to RIL importing an equivalent quality and delivering to state-owned firm. 
	 
	
		"... RIL shall have to import the equivalent quantity and deliver it to public sector oil marketing companies (OMCs) at a price which makes this transaction cost-neutral or cheaper to OMCs vis-a-vis procurement of same quantity from domestic production by RIL," the order said. 
		 
		This arrangement would be valid till liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) import facility t Kandla Port in Gujarat is re-commissioned or March 31, 2016 or till further orders, whichever is earlier. 
		 
		
			There are a total of 183 parallel LPG marketers in the country. 
			 
			The government had in February last year asked RIL to stop retailing LPG produced in its Jamnagar, Hazira and Patalganga plants. 
			 
			
				The company has a vast network that supplies cooking gas to 1 million customers, mostly in rural areas, and 134 auto LPG outlets. 
				 
				
					RIL, the largest single location LPG producer in the country, had contested the ministry view saying rules do not mandate that all domestic LPG must be sold only to state firms. 
					 
					Also, it was selling domestic LPG in parallel market because state oil marketing firms were not willing to pay market rates. 
					 
					
						RIL's subsidiary <keyword id="3029415" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="LPG-Infrastructure-India-Ltd">LPG Infrastructure India Ltd</keyword> (LIIL) is undertaking parallel marketing of LPG and has substantial customers. It told the ministry that the move to prohibit the company from marketing gas would deprive its rural customers of the fuel. Its customers are mostly in rural areas of Gujarat, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. 
						 
						Following this, the Ministry on August 5, 2014 permitted RIL to sell up to 10,000 tonnes per month of LPG to parallel marketers till March 31, 202015. This has now been further extended till March next year. 
					 
					"Since the earlier notification... dated August 6, 2014 was expired on March 31, 2015, this notification is being issued with effect from April 1, 2015 to give continuity to the notification dated the August 6, 2014. No one is adversely affected by giving retrospective effect to this notification," the ministry order said.

The oil-to-telecom-and-retail conglomerate's consolidated net profit stood at Rs 18,951 crore, or Rs 28.01 per share, in January-March quarter of the 2023-24 fiscal compared to Rs 19,299 crore, or Rs 28.52 a share, a year ago, according to a company's stock exchange filing. The profit was, however, higher quarter-on-quarter when compared to Rs 17,265 crore in October-December period. For the full fiscal FY24 (April 2023 to March 2024), Reliance posted a record net profit of Rs 69,621 crore as compared to Rs 66,702 crore earnings in the preceding financial year. Reliance also became the first Indian company to hit Rs 10 lakh crore turnover in FY24 when revenue from operations rose 2.6 per cent from Rs 9.74 lakh crore in 2022-23. The oil-to-chemicals (O2C) business, the main milch cow, posted a rise in profitability annually as well as sequentially, while retail business' earnings rose on new store openings despite lower footfalls. The firm helmed by billionaire <keyword id="19916798" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Mukesh-Ambani" source="keywords">Mukesh Ambani</keyword> saw telecom revenues soar as it outpaced competition in subscriber addition and data traffic. While quarterly EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) was up 14.3 per cent year-on-year to Rs 47,150 crore, registering growth across all businesses, the revenue from operations rose almost 11 per cent to Rs 2.64 lakh crore. The mainstay oil refining and petrochemicals business, called O2C, posted a 11 per cent rise in revenue and a 3 per cent higher EBITDA at Rs 16,777 crore in Q4. This was primarily because of "advantageous" sourcing of feedstock (crude oil) for refining business and use of ethane for making chemicals as well as higher domestic product placement, a company statement said, adding exports were down 8.5 per cent. With the consumer base swelling to 481.8 million from 470.9 million at the end of December on a flat per-user revenues of Rs 181.7, Reliance <keyword id="21397660" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Jio-Infocomm-Ltd" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Jio Infocomm Ltd" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Jio Infocomm Ltd">Jio Infocomm Ltd</keyword> - the digital services business - posted a 12 per cent rise in net profit at Rs 5,583 crore in the fourth quarter of FY24. Also, aiding the business was rise in data traffic to 40.9 billion GB in January-March from 38.1 billion GB in the preceding quarter. For the full year, Jio posted a profit of Rs 21,424 crore as compared to Rs 19,124 crore in FY23. Profits from the retail business climbed 11.7 per cent to Rs 2,698 crore as store count rose to 18,836 from 18,774. Store footfalls dropped to 272 million from 282 million in October-December 2023 but were higher than 219 million recorded in January-March 2023. Oil and gas EBITDA soared 47.5 per cent to Rs 5,606 crore as higher gas volumes partly offset lower price realisation. The firm's flagship KG-D6 block in Krishna Godavari basin in the Bay of Bengal is now producing about 30 million standard cubic metres per day of gas and 23,000 barrels a day of oil/condensate. The company said its outstanding debt rose to Rs 3.24 lakh crore from Rs 3.11 lakh crore in December-end. After accounting for cash in hand, net debt at Rs 1.16 lakh crore as on March 31 was lower than Rs 1.25 lakh crore a year back. Mukesh Ambani, Chairman and Managing Director of <keyword id="20076630" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="reliance-industries-limited" source="keywords">Reliance Industries Limited</keyword>, said all segments of business have posted a robust financial and operating performance. "This has helped the Company achieve multiple milestones. I am happy to share that this year, Reliance became the first Indian company to cross the Rs 1 lakh-crore threshold in pre-tax profits," he said. Performance of the digital services segment has been boosted by accelerated expansion of subscriber base, supported by both mobility and fixed wireless services, he said. "With over 108 million True 5G customers, Jio truly leads the 5G transformation in India." <keyword id="19901342" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="reliance-retail" source="keywords">Reliance Retail</keyword>, he said, continued to provide customers endless choices through its robust omni-channel presence. "We continue to offer product differentiation and superior offline experience through stores re-modelling and revamping of layouts. Our digital commerce platforms also provide newer solutions to users with a broad brand catalogue," Ambani said. Strong demand for fuels globally, and limited flexibility in refining system worldwide supported margins and profitability of the O2C segment. "Downstream chemical industry experienced increasingly challenging market conditions through the year. Despite headwinds, maintaining leading product positions and feedstock flexibility through our operating model that prioritises cost management, we delivered a resilient performance," he said. "We remain committed to our projects and initiatives, including those in the new energy segment, which will bolster the company, and help it deliver sustainable growth for the future," he added.
