How did Anil Ambani's telecom company go bankrupt, once used to challenge Airtel, Idea, launched Rs 500 phone to....
Anil Ambani (File) Several companies of Anil Ambani were raided by the Enforcement Directorate under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), leading to several stories about Anil Ambani's legacy. Anil Ambani's Reliance Infocomm, later rebranded as Reliance Communications (RCom)—once stood as the telecom flagship of the Reliance empire. In the beginning, Reliance Communications (RCom) embodied disruptive growth with slashing call rates, bundled handsets, and rapid expansion into India's underserved markets. However, within a decade, Anil Ambani's spiraled from market leader to bankruptcy. How did Reliance Infocomm grew so big? Launched in the early 2000s, Reliance Infocomm rapidly grew under Anil Ambani's leadership after the 2005 split of Reliance Industries. The company pioneered CDMA services in India with the 'Monsoon Hungama' campaign, making mobile telephony accessible to lower-income segments. Riding high on investor enthusiasm, RCom's IPO in 2006 was oversubscribed dozens of times, allowing it to build one of the country's largest telecom networks. Notably, Reliance Infocomm revolutionized the telecom market by offering CDMA mobile phones for Rs 501 under the 'Monsoon Hungama' plan in 2003, giving a tough competition to Idea and Bharti Airtel. How did Reliance Communications' downfall come? Reliance Communications' downfall was driven by poor strategic choices, including sticking too long with outdated CDMA technology and entering the GSM space late. The launch of Reliance Jio by Mukesh Ambani worsened its decline. Mounting debt, failed deals, and rising losses led RCom to file for bankruptcy in 2019, marking the collapse of what was once a telecom giant. Anil Ambani's Reliance Group announces Rs 18000 crore investment plan Anil Ambani's Reliance Group will focus on defence, power and clean energy sectors to chart the next phase of growth that will train resources on innovation and value creation, it said on Sunday. Just as financial crime-fighting agency, Enforcement Directorate concluded searches at locations linked to the group as part of an investigation into alleged money laundering and siphoning of public funds, over 100 top leaders from its two listed firms — Reliance Infrastructure and Reliance Power — convened in Mumbai on Sunday to reaffirm their commitment to its ambitious growth roadmap.

NCRTC plan: Rail body begins sourcing power via exchange for Ghaziabad station; eyes Rs 1 crore cut in annual energy bill from first drawl point
The National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) has started procuring electricity through the power exchange for its Receiving Sub-Station (RSS) in Ghaziabad, in a bid to reduce operational expenses and push green energy adoption. The Ghaziabad RSS serves as the interconnection point between the Namo Bharat corridor and the national power grid. According to an official statement, the initiative marks NCRTC's shift to more cost-effective and cleaner power sources for both train operations and station infrastructure, PTI reported. This move is expected to generate annual savings of around Rs 1 crore from a single drawl point in its first year, NCRTC said. The corporation currently consumes approximately 326 million units of electricity annually, incurring energy costs of nearly Rs 300 crore. Power expenditure accounts for 30–35% of NCRTC's total operational costs. To facilitate this transition, NCRTC has entered into agreements with Power Trading Corporation (PTC India Ltd) and Uttar Pradesh Power Transmission Corporation Limited (UPPTCL). Power purchased via the exchange is expected to be more economical than traditional distribution utility sources, it said. As part of its sustainability goals, NCRTC also aims to procure at least 15% of its annual power requirement from green energy through the exchange model. The initiative is being implemented in phases, beginning with operational segments of the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut corridor. It will later be expanded to other drawl points in Uttar Pradesh and Delhi as more sections become operational. Currently, 55 km of the corridor and 11 stations are in service, with full commissioning slated for later this year.
