Big move by Mukesh Ambani, unveils ambitious plan for FY 2030, set to affect 44 lakh shareholders due to....
Mukesh Ambani, Asia's richest business tycoon, has made another bold move. He revealed that his company, Reliance Industries Limited (RIL), plans to double in size by 2030. His announcement comes as a gift to RIL's more than 4.4 million shareholders. Doubling the size of the company potentially means that investors could have a strong chance to have a great deal of return on their investment.
What is Mukesh Ambani's ambitious FY 2030 plan for Reliance Industries?
RIL's ambitious strategy comes at a crucial moment, with its shares already surging 16 per cent this year, post a weak performance in 2024, reported Economic Times. Now everyone is waiting for the Annual General Meeting (AGM), which is scheduled to be held on August 29, where Ambani is likely to share initiatives that could reward shareholders significantly.
While the company has reported varied outcomes in the June quarter, the management team believes strongly that future growth is assured. They are confident in doubling the group's EBITDA by 2029-30. The company also reiterated its plan to double earnings in the next 3-4 years for both Jio and Reliance Retail, which are key components of future growth.
How is Reliance planning to double its EBITDA by 2029-30?
Simultaneously, India's largest retail chain, Reliance Retail, is also expanding rapidly. It encompasses over 19,000 stores and online platforms. Major brokerages, including CLSA, believe Reliance shares are still fairly cheap and might touch Rs 1,650 in a few months. Profit contributions from Reliance Retail and from Jio may double in three to four years, which is promising news for investors.
'We expect Reliance's consolidated Ebitda to improve significantly in the near future, led by increasing share of Jio and Retail. The stock is trading in a narrow range to its conservative valuation, which builds in a depressed valuation for each of its business units,' CLSA's Vikash Kumar Jain was quoted as saying by Economic Times.
CLSA's Vikash Kumar Jain added, 'Strong growth momentum in Jio led by tariff hikes, along with steady streamlining of retail operations allowing for a recovery in its growth momentum in the next few quarters, will drive a significant upside for the stock.'
Besides all this, Reliance Group is also making rapid progress in green energy, solar, and battery manufacturing. In Jamnagar, Gujarat, the world's largest integrated renewable energy centre—the Dhirubhai Ambani Green Energy Giga Manufacturing Complex—is being built.

The company is progressing to a 10-gigawatt solar energy production capacity by 2026. Furthermore, there is also a gigawatt-scale, AI data centre being built in Jamnagar, powered solely by green energy, which will reduce the company's energy costs by up to 25%. These important initiatives are going to be the principal factors in doubling Reliance's earnings in the next five years.

Online gaming companies move to shut paid operations as gaming Bill gets Rajya Sabha nod
The Rajya Sabha's approval of the online gaming Bill Thursday has drawn the final curtain on India's booming real-money gaming industry. What was once a bustling digital arena of wagers and winnings now stands eerily silent, as leading platforms suspend paid play and others fold entirely. Lawmakers hail the measure as a shield against harm, but to thousands of workers and millions of players, it feels like the lights have dimmed on a once-thriving stage. Opinion trading platform Probo, in a message displayed on its app, said that 'in light of recent developments, we have paused all recharge activities in your best interest,' while requesting users to withdraw funds. Dream11, the country's biggest fantasy sports app and the Indian cricket team's main jersey sponsor, also communicated to its employees that it will wind down its real money operations. Zupee, another gaming platform, said it was discontinuing paid games, with users able to play free titles. 'Everyone will shut down paid operations for now, as the industry prepares a legal roadmap to challenge the law,' a senior gaming industry executive said. The Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025, now passed by both houses of Parliament, outlaws online money gaming services and penalises their celebrity endorsers. The Bill has been drafted over national security concerns related to online gaming platforms, including the use of digital wallets and cryptocurrencies for money laundering and illicit fund transfers, these platforms serving as potential messaging and communication grounds for terror organisations, and offshore entities circumventing Indian tax and legal obligations, among others. The government will prohibit any person from offering online games in India, failing which they could be imprisoned for up to three years, and penalised Rs 1 crore. Those promoting such platforms, such as social media influencers, will also face jail time of two years, and a penalty of Rs 50 lakh. The government will also prohibit banks and financial institutions from facilitating financial transactions on such platforms. The Bill applies to all online money gaming platforms irrespective of whether they are games of skill or chance, a distinction the industry had lobbied hard for in the past. The Bill said that the unchecked expansion of online money gaming services has been linked to 'unlawful activities including financial fraud, money-laundering, tax evasion, and in some cases, the financing of terrorism, thereby posing threats to national security, public order and the integrity of the State'. The parallel proliferation of online money games accessible through mobile phones, computers and the internet, and offering monetary returns against user deposits has led to 'serious social, financial, psychological and public health harms, particularly among young individuals and economically disadvantaged groups,' it said.

Can explore pilot on regulated platform for pre-IPO share trading, says Sebi Chairman
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) is considering to launch a pilot programme for a regulated trading platform where companies can trade shares before their initial public offerings (IPO). 'Can we think of an initiative on a pilot basis for a regulated venue where pre-IPO companies can choose to trade subject to certain disclosures?' the regulator's Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey said. The new platform will help in reducing grey market activity in companies unlisted shares. The grey market refers to the unofficial trading of securities even before being listed on stock exchanges. This is an unregulated market and works on demand and supply, with investors purchasing or selling shares notionally in the grey market even before they get listed. The Sebi is also mulling ways to improve the tenor and maturity profiles of the derivative products, its Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey said on Thursday. The proposed measures would be aimed at introducing longer-term derivative products, he said. Derivative products derive their value from underlying assets that could include stocks, commodities and currencies. Derivatives or futures and options (F&O) markets assist in better price discovery, improve market liquidity and allow investors to manage their risks better. 'We have often stated that equity derivatives play a crucial role in capital formation, but we must ensure quality and balance. We will consult with stakeholders on ways to improve, in a calibrated manner, the tenor and maturity profiles of derivative products, so that they better serve hedging and long-term investing,' Pandey said at the annual capital markets conference organised by FICCI. Currently, most derivatives in the country have either weekly or monthly expiry. Extending the tenure would make these products suitable for hedging and long-term investing. The derivatives segment has been an exponential surge in trading volumes, with the majority of traders incurring losses. A Sebi study released last year found that close to 93 per cent, or 9 out of 10 individual traders, in the equity F&O segment incurred losses, with aggregate loss exceeding Rs 1.8 lakh crore between FY22 and FY24. In the recent past, the markets regulator has announced a raft of reforms to strengthen the derivatives market and to restrain speculative trading. These measures included recalibration of contract size for equity derivatives, rationalization of weekly index derivatives products and increase in tail risk coverage on the day of options expiry. Pandey said that SEBI's approach in relation to equity derivatives has been thoughtful and consultative. The regulator is also looking to deepen the cash equities market, which is the true foundation of capital formation. 'Volumes in the cash market have grown rapidly, doubling in terms of daily traded volumes over a period of just three years. However, much more needs to be done,' he said.

Maha counter to US tariff: 100 tweaks to boost biz
Mumbai: At a meeting on Thursday to discuss challenges posed by US tariffs to exports, chief minister Devendra Fadnavis said the state should make 100 amendments to improve the Ease of Doing Business (EoDB) in the state. He also said a War Room will be set up to improve the EoDB policy, which will be reviewed every month. Fadnavis said the state should find alternative markets for its goods. He also said imposition of tariffs should not be treated not as a disaster but as an opportunity to improve the EoDB. Of the state's exports to the US, the bulk is gems and jewellery (38.9%), followed by Electronics and ESDM (17.6%), chemicals (8%), engineering goods and auto components (7.7%), textiles and apparel (7%), plastics (5.2%) and agro and marine products (4.9%).

Besides, we are focusing on clearing the backlog on incentives given to industrial units and Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs)," said a senior official who attended the meeting. The state has already cleared incentives worth Rs 1,300 crore to MSMEs recently and the clearance of incentives worth another Rs 2,500 crore is on the cards. Since MSMEs work on limited capital, the state is focusing on helping them cope. Fadnavis also said entrepreneurs should be encouraged to set up private industrial parks for which the MIDC should come up with a plan. The single window portal for industry licenses should be made more efficient so that no permission is required for agro-based industries over an area of five hectares in the state. The pollution fines for industries that do not harm the environment should be revised and additional fines should not be levied anywhere, Fadnavis said. Arrangements should be made to reduce time taken to obtain permissions. The process of calculating the land required for the industry should be expedited, he added. The state plans to create a land bank to arrange plots for setting up industries immediately. It plans to make the plot distribution process transparent and fast, and make arrangements for issuing environmental permits within 60 days. It also plans to create a 'Dedicated Export Portal' to increase exports. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
