Reliance Industries is ramping up investments across both its core operations and emerging sectors, aligning with Chairman Mukesh Ambani’s goal of placing the group among the world’s top 30 most valuable companies. Currently in the top 50, Reliance is pushing forward with aggressive capital deployment and sectoral expansion to climb the global rankings.
Focus on Deep Tech and Advanced Manufacturing
Ambani, speaking at the 2024 Annual General Meeting, highlighted Reliance’s transformation into a technology producer, with growing involvement in deep tech and advanced manufacturing. These areas are now central to the company’s future roadmap.
Big Plans for New Energy Business
The company is also betting big on its ‘New Energy’ division. Ambani projected that this segment would rival the scale and profitability of Reliance’s long-standing oil-to-chemicals (O2C) business within five to seven years.
Expansion in Biogas and Plastics
Reliance has committed to a range of green and industrial manufacturing projects. These include:
- 55 compressed biogas plants to be established by 2025
- A pilot for integrated energy plantations
- Increased capacity in PVC, CPVC, and specialty polyester by 2026–27
Strong Financial Performance in FY25
For the financial year ending March 31, 2025, Reliance posted consolidated revenue of ₹9,64,693 crore, up 7.1% year-on-year. Net profit stood steady at ₹69,648 crore. The company also became the first Indian corporate to surpass ₹10 trillion in net worth.
Offshore Borrowing Activity
Reliance’s latest borrowing move follows its 2023 offshore loan fundraising of over $8 billion, secured from nearly 55 banks by both the parent company and Reliance Jio Infocomm. The current loan deal appears to follow a similar pattern, supporting its continued investment surge
