Reliance Industries Ltd.’s recent gains are helping one of India’s most-valuable companies catch up with the benchmark index, which it had trailed for much of the past decade. The company’s shares have surged 135 percent since it launched telecom services in 2016, nearly four times the advance in the S&P BSE Sensex, making it the best performer in the 30-stock index. It has climbed 26 percent so far this quarter.

Better credit metrics and a zero default track record with banks is helping large conglomerates, led by Adani group, Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries (RIL), and Tata group, snap up bankrupt companies. They are fast emerging winners under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), 2016. The Sajjan Jindal-owned JSW Group is also in the race to buy stressed assets, but so far it has had limited success.

RIL share price: Shares of billionaire Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries rose over 1% in morning deals on Monday after the company raised its stake in Genesis Colors Ltd by over 3%. Reliance Industries share price edged higher by 1.12% to a new 52-week high of Rs 1,291.80 on the National Stock Exchange. On the BSE, the company’s share price went up by 1.08% to hit a fresh record high of Rs 1,291.85 per share.

Reliance Industries (RIL) on Thursday became the first Indian company to cross Rs 8 trillion in market capitalisation. The stock gained 1.9 per cent to close at Rs 1,270, valuing the Mukesh Ambani-led firm at Rs 8.05 trillion ($115 billion at current exchange rate of Rs 70.11 for a dollar).

Shares of RIL have rallied 34 per cent from their recent low of Rs 945 on June 28 amid big-bang announcements during its annual general meeting (AGM) in early July. During the same period, the benchmark BSE Sensex gained 9.5 per cent.

BP Plc and its partner Reliance Industries will produce at least 10 per cent of India's total gas demand from the Krishna Godavari (KG) basin by 2022, said Sashi Mukundan, the company’s region president and India head.

Experts highlight that this has the potential to revive the ailing fertiliser segment in the country by competing with the re-gasified liquid natural gas (RLNG), as the difference between RLNG and domestic deepwater gas would be at least 25-30 per cent by then.

Shares of Reliance Industries (RIL) hit a new high of Rs 1,208 per share, up 2% on the BSE on Wednesday, surpassing its previous high of Rs 1,203 recorded on August 1, 2018 in intra-day trade.

Thus far in the current financial year 2018-19 (FY19), RIL has outperformed the market by surging 37% from Rs 883 on March 28, 2018.

In what could hit Reliance Industries’ (RIL) aviation turbine fuel business, Airports Authority of India (AAI) and national oil marketing companies (OMCs) have refused to allow the private firm to become a shareholder in a proposed joint venture (JV) which seeks to set up common infrastructure to supply ATF across all major airports operated by the state-owned authority.

Petroleum minister Dharmendra Pradhan said on Friday that the government will appeal at the High Court against an order by an international tribunal favouring Reliance Industries in the controversial gas migration dispute.

“The government will certainly file an appeal against the arbitration award in the higher forum. It will be in the High Court,” Pradhan told the media on the sidelines of a Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) in Delhi.

The ministry of petroleum and natural gas has sought legal opinion on an arbitration ruling that went in favour of Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries (RIL) in the gas migration dispute.

The government is likely to appeal against the 198-page final award in the Delhi High Court within the next 90 days.

In a major blow to the government in the gas migration dispute between Reliance Industries (RIL) and state-owned ONGC, an international arbitration tribunal on Tuesday ruled in favour of a consortium led by the Mukesh Ambani-led conglomerate.

The tribunal rejected the government’s claim of illegal gas production by the consortium from the neighbouring block of ONGC in the Krishna-Godavari (KG) basin.
