Reliance Industries Limited , India's largest business group, has secured a spot among the world's 25 most valuable companies by net worth, standing alongside Microsoft, Alphabet, and Saudi Aramco.
According to Bloomberg data, RIL ranks 21st globally, with a net worth of $118 billion (approximately ₹10 lakh-crore), just behind international heavyweights like Alibaba, AT&T, and TotalEnergies.
Reliance's market capitalisation has surged to around $140 billion, surpassing Total SA and significantly ahead of BP Plc. RIL’s market value now matches the combined worth of 19 Nifty 50 companies, 35 public sector enterprises and banks, or the entire Nifty Smallcap 250 index.
On Friday, the board of Reliance Industries approved raising up to ₹25,000 crore through bond issues in one or more tranches. The board also declared a dividend of ₹5.5 per share for shareholders.
The RIL stock has delivered a 7 percent gain in 2025 so far, outperforming the Nifty50, which has risen less than 2 per cent over the same period.
Over the past month, Reliance shares have rallied 10 per cent, 24 per cent over three months, and a massive 40 per cent over the past year — making it one of the top-performing stocks among the Nifty’s top 10 constituents.
Anant Ambani, the youngest son of Mukesh Ambani, has been appointed as the executive director of Reliance Industries Ltd for a five-year term starting May 1, the company said in an exchange filing. "The board of directors of the company at its meeting held today, on the recommendation of the human resources, nomination and remuneration committee, considered and appointed Anant M Ambani , a non-executive director of the company, as whole-time director designated as executive director of the company, for a period of five years with effect from May 1, 2025, subject to the approval of the members of the company," the exchange filing stated.
