Reliance unveils four tech-driven growth engines for future expansion
Reliance Industries has built four high-powered growth engines of retail, digital services, media and entertainment, and new energy to propel the conglomerate's next phase of expansion, Chairman Mukesh Ambani said. Parallelly, Reliance is reshaping itself into a new-age deep-tech enterprise, he said in a message to shareholders in the firm's latest annual report. The firm, which traditionally had oil and petrochemicals as the growth drivers, has in the last few years ventured into retail - both online and physical stores - telecom and digital services, built a media empire around news and entertainment channels, and laid the foundation for giga factories for its clean energy foray. "Each of these (four) platforms is technology-first, innovation-led, and positioned to disrupt industries while delivering massive value to Indian consumers and the global market," Ambani said. On its mainstay cash-cow oil-to-chemicals (O2C) business, which houses the world's largest single location oil refinery complex and petrochemical plants, and oil and gas production business, he said these will continue to grow while catering to India's rising energy and materials demand. "We are not just scaling businesses - we are building platforms that empower people, reduce inequality, drive sustainability, and elevate India's position in the global economy. "Whether it's transforming the way Indians shop, consume data, watch content, or power their homes and businesses - Reliance is shaping the future with purpose and conviction," he said. Ambani, the richest man in Asia, said the world is changing at breakneck speed - reshaped by digital disruption, global shifts, and technological breakthroughs. "At Reliance, we see this not as a challenge but as an opportunity. We are reimagining our future and reshaping our businesses to become a new-age deep-tech enterprise," he said, adding that next-generation technologies are being integrated in every business vertical - from energy to entertainment, from retail to digital services. The conglomerate has over 1,000 in-house scientists who are leading cutting-edge research in areas like AI, renewable energy, advanced materials, and digital platforms. "Our manufacturing infrastructure is being future-proofed to support India's aspiration to become a global manufacturing powerhouse," he said. Giving performance highlights of each of the businesses, Ambani said while retail crossed Rs 3.3 lakh crore in turnover and expanded its footprint to 19,340 stores, Jio emerged as the world's largest data network with 488 million users, including 191 million on 5G. In the media space, Reliance built a large and distinctive media institution, in partnership with Disney, across genres, and has delivered record viewership and engagement metrics within the first few months of commencing operations. While O2C demonstrated resilience through disciplined cost management and strong domestic placement, oil and gas delivered record EBITDA, with increased output from KG-D6 and CBM blocks, he said. New energy transitioned from vision to execution - operationalising giga-scale solar and battery energy projects, he said. "At the heart of Reliance's success is a foundation built on values, trust, and talent. Our strong balance sheet, relentless focus on productivity, and unwavering commitment to excellence give us the confidence to embrace bold ambitions," he added.

No direct impact on JSW biz, but sentiment in India will be hit: Parth Jindal on Trump's tariff
There would be no impact on the USD 23 billion-JSW Group's business due to the 50 per cent tariff imposed by the Trump administration, but sentiments in India may be hit, Jindal Cements MD Parth Jindal said on the imposition of additional tariffs of 25 per cent by the Trump administration on Wednesday, Jindal said it was "very unfortunate", and the industry should stand with "whatever route the government of India wants to take" in the national interest."We have to worry about 1.4 billion people here; we don't have to worry about what's happening in other parts of the world," said Jindal on the sidelines of an event statement came a day after Trump ratcheted up tariffs on Indian goods to 50 per cent, even as the two nations discuss a bilateral trade deal. The trade deal has been stuck over the US demand for greater access to India's agricultural and dairy market. When asked about the development, Jindal said: "No, there is no direct impact on either the steel industry or the cement industry or the power industry or the paint industry, there is no impact" due to the tariff. However, the managing director, who also heads the paints business of the group, said the "sentiment will take a hit for sure".The export from India to the US is around USD 86 billion, of which around USD 10 billion is pharma, which has an exemption."So, you are looking at about USD 76 billion getting impacted, which is mainly gems and jewellery, textile and a bit of the toy industry and some of the auto component guys," he added. When being asked if the high tariff persists, what would be the industry's demand from the government, Parth said: "I think the government, in their wisdom, is already taking steps to boost the gems and jewellery industry, to boost the textile industry. They are acutely aware of what's going to happen if the tariffs stay and the government machinery is "working double time" on finding a solution."I am sure, Ficci, CII, and Assocham are also working with the government very diligently, and I am sure steps will be taken, but we have to stand by whatever route the government of India wants to take. They are taking the route which is in the interest of 1.4 billion Indians," he the India-US relationship, Parth said It's been three decades of hard work by India and the US to get the relationship back to where it needs to be. "India has spent a lot of time and effort as well on improving the relationship, which started improving under President Clinton and improved with every successive president," Parth who had attended the Howdy-Modi event in 2019 in Houston, said: "I saw the bonhomie between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Donald Trump. So, I really don't know what's changed". The oldest democracy in the world and the largest democracy in the world are natural allies, and this is just an aberration.
