Indian Billionaire Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries Sells $895 Million Asian Paints Shares
Buckets of Asia Paints Ltd. paint at a store in Mumbai, India, on Saturday, Feb 6, 2021. ... More Photographer: Dhiraj Singh/Bloomberg Reliance Industries—the energy-to-telecom conglomerate controlled by India's richest person Mukesh Ambani—sold most of its shares in Asian Paints worth 77 billion rupees ($895 million) amid intensifying industry competition. The company's unit Siddhant Commercials sold 35 million shares or about a 3.7% stake at 2,201 rupees each via a block trade, according to an exchange filing on Thursday. Following the sale, Reliance will still hold 8.7 million shares in Asian Paints. Reliance, which invested in Asian Paints shares almost two decades ago, has been cutting its stake in Asian Paints amid softening demand and intensifying competition from new players such as billionaire Kumar Birla's Birla Opus. 'We expect the demand environment to remain weak in the coming quarters, while increasing competition in the sector will impact the outlook,' Indian brokerage Geojit, which is backed by BNP Paribas, wrote in a recent note. The brokerage recommends investors 'reduce' their exposure on Asian Paints, whose shares have fallen more than 30% in 2024. With an estimated net worth of $119.5 billion, Ambani is India's wealthiest person, according to Forbes Asia's list of India's 100 Richest, published last October. He is the chairman of Reliance Industries, which has interests in energy, petrochemicals, telecommunications, retail, media and financial services.

GAIL shares dip nearly 3% amid spike in global crude prices following Israel-Iran conflict
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on June 13, 2025, 09:45 IST Shares of GAIL (India) Ltd fell 2.68% to ₹187.02 in early trade on Friday, sliding from a previous close of ₹192.18. The decline comes as global energy markets react to heightened geopolitical tensions following Israel's large-scale airstrike on Iran, which caused crude oil benchmarks to surge over 10%. GAIL, India's leading natural gas processing and distribution company, is sensitive to volatility in global energy prices. A spike in crude often influences spot LNG rates and increases operational pressures on downstream and midstream gas firms. Brent crude futures were last seen trading over $77 per barrel, while WTI rose past $75, reflecting the elevated risk premium on oil supply disruptions. Analysts warn that continued conflict or potential Iranian retaliation near key supply routes like the Strait of Hormuz could tighten global energy availability and push input prices higher for Indian gas utilities.
