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.

Singhvi, who retired from Compat earlier this month, will consult an arbitrator chosen by RIL for identifying a third neutral arbitrator and the place of arbitration, said a government official, who asked not to be named.

Reliance Industries (RIL) was up 2% to Rs 1,064 on the BSE in intra-day trade, gaining for the fifth straight trading sessions, in otherwise range-bound market. The stock was trading at six-week high, its highest level since October 30, 2016.

Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) and its partners, BP and Niko Resources, have initiated an arbitration process against the Centre's notice imposing a penalty of $1.55 billion on these companies for allegedly using migrated gas from state-run Oil and Natural Gas Corporation's (ONGC's) asset in KG-D6.

It was on November 3 that the government had slapped the penalty. Following this, RIL had come out with a statement that the contractor's liability has not been established by any process known to law and the quantification of the purported claim is without any basis and arbitrary.

The penalty imposed on Reliance Industries Ltd for producing Oil and Natural Gas Corporation’s share of natural gas has come with an interest rate of 2% over Libor. This has taken the net payable amount to $1.55 billion.

Besides this, the ministry of petroleum and natural gas is seeking $175 million from RIL as additional cumulative profit till March 31, 2016. While giving RIL 30 days to pay up, the ministry of petroleum and natural gas has threatened “further actions” for breach of the provisions and obligations committed under the production sharing contract between the contractors and the government.

The government has sought $1.55 billion (nearly Rs 10311.76 crore) from Reliance Industries and its partners for drawing natural gas belonging to state-owned ONGC in the KG basin over the last seven years.

The Oil Ministry has sent a notice to RIL seeking $1.55 billion compensation, sources privy to the development said.
