1960–1980[edit]
The company was co-founded by Dhirubhai Ambani and Champaklal Damani in 1960s as Reliance
Commercial Corporation. In 1965, the partnership ended and Dhirubhai continued the polyester
business of the firm.[11] In 1966, Reliance Textiles Industries Pvt Ltd was incorporated in Maharashtra. It
established a synthetic fabrics mill in the same year at Naroda in Gujarat.[12] In 1975, the company
expanded its business into textiles, with "Vimal" becoming its major brand in later years. The company
held its Initial public offering (IPO) in 1977.[13] The issue was over-subscribed by seven times.[14] In
1979, a textiles company Sidhpur Mills was amalgamated with the company.[15] In 1980, the company
expanded its polyester yarn business by setting up a Polyester Filament Yarn Plant in Raigad,
Maharashtra with financial and technical collaboration with E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., U.S.[12]
1981–2000[edit]
In 1985, the name of the company was changed from Reliance Textiles Industries Ltd. to Reliance
Industries Ltd.[12] During the years 1985 to 1992, the company expanded its installed capacity for
producing polyester yarn by over 145,000 tonnes per annum.[12]
In 1993, Reliance turned to the overseas capital markets for funds through a global depositary issue of
Reliance Petroleum. In 1996, it became the first private sector company in India to be rated by
international credit rating agencies. S&P rated Reliance "BB+, stable outlook, constrained by the
sovereign ceiling". Moody's rated "Baa3, Investment grade, constrained by the sovereign ceiling".[17]
In 1995/96, the company entered the telecom industry through a joint venture with NYNEX, USA and
promoted Reliance Telecom Private Limited in India.[16]
In 1998/99, RIL introduced packaged LPG in 15 kg cylinders under the brand name Reliance Gas.[16]
The years 1998–2000 saw the construction of the integrated petrochemical complex at Jamnagar in
Gujarat,[16] the largest refinery in the world.
2001 onwards[edit]
In 2001, Reliance Industries Ltd. and Reliance Petroleum Ltd. became India's two largest companies in
terms of all major financial parameters.[18] In 2001–02, Reliance Petroleum was merged with Reliance
Industries.[13]
In 2002, Reliance announced India's biggest gas discovery (at the Krishna Godavari basin) in nearly three
decades and one of the largest gas discoveries in the world during 2002. The in-place volume of natural
gas was in excess of 7 trillion cubic feet, equivalent to about 1.2 billion barrels of crude oil. This was the
first ever discovery by an Indian private sector company.[13][19]
In 2002–03, RIL purchased a majority stake in Indian Petrochemicals Corporation Ltd. (IPCL), India's
second largest petrochemicals company, from the government of India.[20] IPCL was later merged with
RIL in 2008.[21][22]
In 2005 and 2006, the company reorganized its business by demerging its investments in power
generation and distribution, financial services and telecommunication services into four separate
entities.[23]
In 2006, Reliance entered the organised retail market in India[24] with the launch of its retail store
format under the brand name of 'Reliance Fresh'.[25][26] By the end of 2008, Reliance retail had close
to 600 stores across 57 cities in India.[13]
In November 2009, Reliance Industries issued 1:1 bonus shares to its shareholders.
In 2010, Reliance entered the broadband services market with acquisition of Infotel Broadband Services
Limited, which was the only successful bidder for pan-India fourth-generation (4G) spectrum auction
held by the government of India.[27][28]
In the same year, Reliance and BP announced a partnership in the oil and gas business. BP took a 30 per
cent stake in 23 oil and gas production sharing contracts that Reliance operates in India, including the
KG-D6 block for $7.2 billion.[29] Reliance also formed a 50:50 joint venture with BP for sourcing and
marketing of gas in India.[30]
In 2017, RIL set up a joint venture with Russian Company Sibur for setting up a Butyl rubber plant in
Jamnagar, Gujarat, to be operational by 2018.

The Ambani family holds around 45% of the shares in RIL.[76] Since its inception, the company was
managed by its
founder and chairman Dhirubhai Ambani. After suffering a heart attack in 1986, he handed over the
daily operations of
the company to his sons Mukesh Ambani and Anil Ambani. After the death of Dhirubhai Ambani in 2002,
the management of
the company was taken up by both the brothers. In November 2004, Mukesh Ambani, in an interview,
admitted to having
differences with his brother Anil over 'ownership issues'.[77] He also said that the differences "are in the
private
domain". The share prices of RIL were impacted by some margin when this news broke out. In 2005,
after a bitter public
feud between the brothers over the control of the Reliance empire, mother Kokilaben intervened to
broker a deal
splitting the RIL group business into the two parts.[78] In October 2005, the split of Reliance Group was
formalized.

like channel, intermediary or distribution and their sound mechanism has taken them to such

The pricing policy of Reliance Industries is different for different sectors. The policy for
sectors such as retail, telecommunications and health care that are in direct contact with the
consumers is mainly penetration pricing. This is because most of these sectors are question marks
and their outcome is undetermined as of now. Retail and telecommunication both suffer huge losses
If the fair pricing policy is in place, then automatically the volume will rise and in turn, it
will lead to better revenues. The policy for the sector petrochemicals is different as it is
dependent largely on the current global market, which is very flexible. The various market
conditions along with the costing and promotional expenses determine the pricing policies of the
company.

Most of the companies face the same problem of employee lay-offs. So the organisation have to

sometimes.

got-public-banks-to-restructure-its-loans
A loss-making company controlled by India's richest man, Mukesh Ambani, who heads the country's
biggest private corporate entity, Reliance Industries Limited, has successfully managed to
reschedule repayments of its loans to banks. Reliance Gas Transportation Infrastructure Limited,
the closely-held firm whose shares are not listed on stock exchanges, has a colourful and
controverisal past.
According to a story broken by Dev Chatterjee in the Business Standard on June 12, this is the
first time a company in the Reliance group led by Mukesh Ambani has sought and obtained
RGTIL's losses for the financial year that ended on March 31, 2015, stood at Rs 436 crore on an
income of Rs 1,357 crore. In the previous year, the company's losses were nearly eight times
higher at Rs 3,403 crore on a slightly higher income of Rs 1,412 crore. The company's debt was
RGTIL has stated that it had received a sanction from nationalised banks to repay the principal
loan amount outstanding by 2030-’31 instead of 2019-’20. Such a rescheduling is considered most
generous.
Why did this company seek and obtain a new schedule for repaying the loans it had received from a
consortium of banks? And what is the role of this particular firm in the bigger affairs of RIL,
RGTIL is a company in which Mukesh Ambani holds a personal stake is 42.5%. Being a closely-held
private company, its accounts are not part of the financial statements that are disclosed by RIL,
which is a widely-held company whose shares are listed on stock exchanges. Yet this company plays
an important role in the activities of the wider business empire controlled by the Ambani family.
RGTIL owns and operates a nearly 1,400-kilometre-long natural gas transportation pipeline from
Kakinada in Andhra Pradesh to Bharuch in Gujarat that passes through four states including
The company's losses are apparently on account of a sharp fall in production from the D6 block in the
Krishna-Godavari basin in the Bay of Bengal, where a company controlled by the Reliance group
has been contracted by the government to explore and extract natural gas. The decline in gas
output has, in turn, led to significant decline in the utilisation of the pipeline's capacity.
In 1999, when RIL obtained the rights to explore the D6 block, it was estimated that gas output
would be in the region of 40 million metric standard cubic metres a day. This figure was
subsequently doubled and the pipeline that was built to transport the gas assumed gas production
would be 80 mmscmd.
These estimates seemed reasonable when in March 2010 gas production reached nearly 70 mmscmd
and
RIL crowed about its achievement. However, gas output started dipping thereafter.
Falling output
In 2010-’11, production averaged less than 56 mmscmd and in the following year, gas output dropped
below 43 mmscmd. Worse was to follow. In 2012-’13, production shrunk to 26 mmscmd and by
December
2014, the average output of gas from the KG-D6 block had come down to a meagre 10 mmscmd, an
Reliance group spokespersons claimed the fall in gas production was on account of "natural" and
"unanticipated" factors, whereas others – including the Comptroller and Auditor General of India
They contended that output had been "deliberately" suppressed in anticipation of higher prices of
Over the last three years, the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas has levied penalties on the
contracting company led by RIL, disallowing it from recovering costs incurred to the extent of
nearly $ 2.4 billion (or around Rs 15,000 crores at the prevailing exchange rate). The company
again protested.
A number of petitions on these and related issues are currently under adjudication in the Supreme
Court. In addition, arbitration proceedings are proceeding concurrently.
The drastic fall in gas production has not merely adversely affected the fortunes of RGTIL. Power plants
which were set up to use the gas are operating way below their installed capacities.
According to a December 2013 report of a Parliamentary committee, power projects with investments
In March, the Union cabinet approved a plan to subsidise imported liquefied natural gas to help
Intense battle
RGTIL was created in March 2003 as a 100% subsidiary of RIL. In August 2004, RGTIL was granted
approval by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas to build a pipeline to transport gas from
Kakinada to Bharuch.
Between November 2004 and June 2005, the Ambani brothers Mukesh and Anil fought a bitter battle in
On April 21, 2005, an unusual development took place. For a paltry sum of Rs 500,000, RGTIL was
taken out of the ambit of RIL and converted into an "independent" company controlled entirely by
Mukesh Ambani.
The way this was done presents a typical case study of how Ambani family members structure their
personal assets, using a slew of companies with extremely complicated cross-holdings – that is,
