Reliance AGM LIVE updates: Mukesh Ambani says company’s performance exceeded expectations despite pandemic – Mint

Reliance Industries’ (RIL) Annual General Meeting (AGM) has historically been a keenly watched event given that it is one of the top three companies by market capitalisation in India, has a large free float and a large public shareholding. In its 44th AGM, Chairman Mukesh Ambani is expected to announce major developments and deals by the oil-to-retail-to-telecom conglomerate.

Market experts expect updates around the company’s first 5G phone and next-generation wireless plans, JioMart’s grocery venture with Facebook’s WhatsApp, announcements on JioBook, a low-cost affordable laptop, and also its $15-billion deal with Saudi Aramco deal in its newly carved oil-to-chemical (O2C) unit.

Specific announcements are also expected on the progress of Saudi Aramco deal in O2C business as well as Future Retail merger in the retail space. Investors are also awaiting an announcement on the pricing and launch timeline of the Jio-Google phone. Last year, Ambani had said Google would partner with Jio to design an operating system to introduce an affordable entry-level smartphone.

Shares of Reliance Industries fell over 1% on Thursday as investors await the annual general meeting (AGM), scheduled for later today. The stock was trading at around 2,173 per share on the BSE.
