Reliance Industries is planning to invest a sum of Rs. 30,000 crore into Reliance Jio Infocomm to further its development and improve its signal strength.

The company in its board meeting held earlier on Friday decided to invest another Rs. 30,000 crore into its telecom unit and sell 600 crore preference shares to raise the amount. These preference shares will be sold through a rights issue and will be nine percent non-cumulative optionally convertible (OCPS) available at Rs. 50 each including a premium of Rs. 40.

The shares of Reliance will be in focus today as the Mukesh Ambani-led company is slated to announce its financial results for the quarter-ended December 31. On the BSE, RIL shares were trading at Rs 1085.60 apiece, down 4.55 or 0.42% from previous close. On the National Stock Exchange (NSE), its shares were trading at Rs 1085.35, down Rs 5.05 or 0.46% from previous close.

In the last quarter, the company had reported a drop of nearly 23% in net profit. The company's consolidated net profit had declined to Rs 7,206 crore from Rs 9,345 crore during the quarter ended on September 30, 2015.

Last year, Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Jio disrupted the telecom space with super affordable 4G tariffs. The company seems to be geared to continue its disruptive streak by launching super-affordble feature phones that, apparently, will do away with the need for smartphones.

According to an Economic Times report, Reliance Jio is considering launching 4G VoLTE-ready feature phones that would cost as little as Rs 999. What's more? The phone is said to be able to access Jio’s high-speed 4G internet, the Jio digital store and play music.

Reliance Industries (RIL) has entered into a global partnership agreement with NYSE-listed GE to enter in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) space by building joint applications on the latter's Predix platform, it said on Thursday.
