Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries has committed investments worth over ₹7 lakh crore in various sectors, from green energy to AI and retail. But despite these ambitious plans, RIL’s stock is in freefall, hitting a 16-month low of ₹1,156. Since its July 2024 high of ₹1,609, investors have lost a staggering ₹6.13 lakh crore in wealth. Reliance shares are trading below key moving averages and have underperformed broader market indices by over 10 percentage points. Analysts warn that the stock could slip below the ₹1,000 mark, with earnings downgrades in Reliance Retail and weak refining margins fuelling investor pessimism. Adding to RIL’s troubles, its subsidiaries are struggling too — Jio Financial is trading below its listing price, Reliance Industrial Infrastructure has hit a 156-week low, and Network18 is near a 200-week low. Meanwhile, reports suggest that Reliance New Energy could face a ₹125 crore penalty for missing PLI scheme deadlines in battery cell manufacturing.
Advantage Assam Summit: Mukesh Ambani said that in the previous summit in 2018, Reliance had committed to an investment of Rs 5,000 crore in the state but it was buoyed to Rs 12,000 crore.
Ashika Global said that Reliance Industries reported healthy 3QFY25 performance owing to a stronger than expected profit from the Retail and O2C businesses.
Trent shares: Goldman Sachs said the relaunch of Shein has been allowed by the Indian government on condition that it will source all products only from India.
Shein, the Chinese fast-fashion brand, returns to India after a five-year ban, partnering with Reliance Retail. This deal ensures data security with all customer data stored in India, addressing previous security concerns.
Operating revenue also grew by 7% compared to the previous year, reaching Rs 79,595 crore from Rs 74,373 crore. This resulted in a 3.3% increase in revenue from operations.
Reliance Industries' Q3 results are on the radar as market experts anticipate a potential turnaround quarter. Deven Choksey, MD of DR Choksey FinServ Private, provides in-depth insights into what to expect from the earnings report. According to him, the refining business is set to recover due to stable crude oil prices and Gross Refining Margins (GRMs), despite a temporary dip in January. The petrochemical and polymer businesses also show stability, contributing to better performance compared to the second quarter. On the exploration front, Reliance continues to demonstrate robust growth in oil and gas production. Retail operations have seen strategic adjustments, including the closure of underperforming stores, SKU optimisation, and a focus on premium products, enhancing profit margins. Meanwhile, the Jio Platforms segment is benefiting from a decline in low-end mobile customers and growth in enterprise and home customer segments. Overall, Deven Choksey predicts a positive turnaround for Reliance in the third quarter, driven by improvements across industrial and consumer-facing verticals.
Growth for the consumer-facing business will likely be driven by strong growth for Jio and modest growth for Reliance Retail, said Nomura India.Â
