Energy minister pushes for faster green projects
The directive came during a high-level meeting on Thursday at the Secretariat, where progress on Reliance's green energy investments in the state was reviewed. Minister Gottipati Ravi Kumar chaired the meeting, which included Special Chief Secretary Energy K. Vijayanand, JMD APTRANSCO Kirthi Chekuri, MD NREDCAP M Kamalakar Babu, and senior RIL officials.
The Minister specifically called for the expedited setup of Reliance CBG plants and announced bi-weekly reviews.
He noted that CBG plants in Vayumadugu and PC Palli are expected to be completed and commissioned by March 2026.

Reliance is trying to become "the coolest one"
EU sanctions Russian Nayara refinery in India, Reliance brings back Kelvinator After pushing its own mobiles and soft drinks into India's vast consumer market, Reliance Retail has set its eyes on selling refrigerators, ACs and washing machines in a segment dominated by global giants such as LG and Samsung. The company is rolling out a bold strategy anchored in legacy, scale and disruption to dominate the fast-growing consumer durables business. Reliance Retail has been expanding its private-label portfolio and growing its footprint in home electronics and appliances, a segment boosted by rising incomes, urbanisation and mounting competition. As of June 2024, India's consumer goods market was the fastest-growing among major economies and could nearly double to Rs 3 lakh crore by 2029, according to an EY report. Reliance Retail's foray into the consumer durables segment represents a strategic expansion that mirrors its earlier playbook in the FMCG space -- reviving legacy brands, leveraging distribution muscle and disrupting a multinational-dominated market with a "Made in India" narrative. The recent acquisition of the iconic Kelvinator brand marks a significant milestone in this journey and signals the company's long-term ambitions in India's fast-growing home appliances market. From licensing to ownership: Kelvinator's strategic roleReliance Retail on Friday announced that it has bought Kelvinator from Sweden's Electrolux to broaden its range of offerings in the durables market. Kelvinator, a legacy brand going a century back, is known for pioneering home refrigeration and its popular 'The Coolest One' tagline in the 1970s and 80s. Also Read: Reliance Industries Q1 Results: Cons PAT jumps 78% YoY to Rs 26,994 cr, beats Street estimates Reliance Retail's move to fully acquire Kelvinator, from being a licensee since 2019, transforms its relationship with the brand from a tactical play into a strategic asset. The Kelvinator name, synonymous with refrigerators and washing machines for decades, still commands trust among older Indian consumers. Although its presence had faded post liberalization and with the dominance of Korean and Japanese players, the brand's latent equity makes it a strong candidate for revival under Reliance's stewardship. By integrating Kelvinator into its portfolio, Reliance gains more than just a brand. It inherits a lineage of product design, recall and goodwill that can be scaled rapidly across its retail empire. The plan is to push not just refrigerators and washing machines, but expand into air conditioners and kitchen appliances, aligning with rising demand from a growing middle class and increasing urbanisation. Wyzr, the opening gambit The acquisition dovetails with Reliance Retail's earlier 2024 launch of Wyzr, a homegrown consumer durables brand positioned as a disruptor to multinationals like LG, Samsung and Whirlpool. Wyzr marks Reliance's intent to go beyond legacy brands and build new-age offerings tailored to Indian consumers, with competitive pricing and design suited for Indian Read: Reliance Jio Q1 Results: PAT grows 25% YoY to Rs 7,110 crore; ARPU at Rs 208.8Reliance's dual-brand strategy -- Kelvinator as a legacy player and Wyzr as an aspirational, value-driven brand -- allows it to target both traditional and younger, aspirational consumer segments. The company is reportedly engaging with domestic contract manufacturers while planning to build its own facilities in the medium term, aiming at control quality, cost and innovation. Haier and Whirlpool in crosshairs Reliance isn't just looking to grow organically but actively eyeing major inorganic opportunities. Reports of its interest in a strategic stake in Haier's India operations, as well as its bid for controlling interest in Whirlpool's India business, underscore its intent to consolidate the fragmented consumer durables landscape. These moves, if successful, could catapult Reliance into the top tier of players in India's appliance market Haier looking to localise and Whirlpool potentially changing hands, Reliance is positioning itself as a natural homegrown partner for global giants who need distribution and operational support in India's complex market. The competition is stiff as Bharti Group and Havells are also in the fray for Haier and Whirlpool respectively. But Reliance's deep pockets and operational muscle give it a clear edge. FMCG playbook redux: From Campa to Kelvinator The consumer durables strategy closely echoes Reliance's approach in FMCG, where it bought legacy brands like Campa Cola, Raskik and Sosyo to quickly build shelf presence and brand recognition. The approach is clear --- acquire heritage brands, modernize them, and plug them into Reliance's expansive distribution system and scale strategy bypasses the long gestation period required to build new brands from scratch and leverages nostalgia and trust, both powerful emotional drivers in Indian sets Reliance apart from other players is its integrated ecosystem, from retail stores and online platforms to telecom and payments businesses. These allow it to not just sell products, but also create whole systems for marketing, logistics and after-sales support. Consumer durable products sold through this ecosystem generate rich consumer data, enabling personalised offers, servicing models and upselling across product categories. Moreover, Reliance's deep discounting power, control over shelf space and fast execution give it significant advantages over legacy brands that rely on traditional dealer-distributor far, Reliance's own brands, Reconnect and Wyzr which it has founded, have met with limited success. But it is trying to majorly disrupt the market by combining the nostalgia and trust of legacy brands like Kelvinator with the energy of new entrants like Wyzr, and by aggressively pursuing M&A deals with global majors. Reliance may want to do a Jio in the consumer durable market but it's a long-term bet. ( Originally published on Jul 18, 2025 )

Reliance remains highest-ranked Indian firm on Fortune Global 500 list
Billionaire Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries has retained its position as the highest-ranked Indian company on the 2025 Fortune Global 500 list, according to the latest rankings released by the publication. The oil-to-telecom-and-retail conglomerate has been ranked at No.88 on the latest list, down from 86th position in 2024. However, the company has gained a whopping 67 places in the last four years, from No.155 in 2021. US retail giant Walmart continues to be the top-ranked company in the world, followed by Amazon. The top 10 has three Chinese companies - state-owned electric utility State Grid at No.3, China National Petrol at No.5 and oil and gas giant Sinopec Group at No.6. World's largest oil exporter Saudi Aramco is ranked at No.4 and Apple at No.8. India has 9 companies in the Fortune's Global 500 list this year - 5 of them from the public sector and 4 from the private sector. Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) is ranked at No.95, unchanged from last year. Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) slipped 11 slots to be ranked No.127 in the 2025 ranking. Country's largest lender State Bank of India (SBI) gained 15 slots to be ranked at 163, while HDFC Bank soared 48 places to come in at No.258. Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) lost one place to be ranked at 181. Other Indian firms on the list included Tata Motors at No.283 (down 12 positions from 2024), Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL) at No.285 (down 27 position) and ICICI Bank at No.464 (unchanged). It is now the 22nd year of Reliance being a part of the Fortune Global 500 list - much longer than any other private sector company in India. The Fortune Global 500 list ranks companies by total revenues for their respective fiscal years ended on or before March 31, 2025. The Indian rupee's depreciation against the USD from 83.35 in March 2024 to 85.45 in March 2025 had a negative impact on Reliance's revenues when converted to USD. Reliance closed FY25 with record high consolidated gross revenues of Rs 1,071,174 crore, up 7.1 per cent year-on-year, and EBITDA of Rs 183,422 crore, up 2.9 per cent, with each of the oil-to-chemical (O2C), oil and gas, retail and digital services businesses posting healthy growth.

Reliance Consumer Products in talks to acquire Baidyanath's Shunya drinks; to invest Rs 8,000 crore in beverages: Report
Reliance Consumer Products Ltd (RCPL), the FMCG arm of Reliance Retail Ventures, is in early-stage discussions to acquire a majority stake in Shunya, the premium zero-sugar fruit drink brand owned by Baidyanath Group's Naturedge Beverages, according to executives familiar with the matter, quoted by Economic times. Launched in 2018 by Siddhesh Sharma, a third-generation heir of the Baidyanath Group, Naturedge Beverages offers functional, herb-based drinks under the Shunya label in flavours like 'zesty apple' and 'zesty orange'. Baidyanath, a privately held company established in 1917, operates across ayurvedic medicines, personal care, pharmaceuticals, and food and beverages. If the deal goes through, it will mark Reliance's fourth acquisition in the beverage space, following its purchase of Campa Cola, Sosyo, and RasKik. The company also markets the sports drink Spinner. 'This move would allow Reliance to enter the healthy, functional, and ayurveda-based drink category,' said one of the executives. The acquisition aligns with Reliance's strategy of picking up stakes in mid-sized consumer brands across categories such as beverages, confectionery, and condiments. Its broader portfolio now includes brands like Ravalgaon, Toffeeman, Lotus Chocolates, and Sil Foods. RCPL is aggressively expanding its footprint in the beverage space, planning investments of nearly ₹8,000 crore over the next 12–15 months to scale production capacity. The company is working to add around a dozen new greenfield and co-packing plants to compete with larger rivals like Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Dabur, Tata Consumer, and several regional players. Executives noted that sales of low- and no-sugar drinks and juices doubled in 2024- the fastest annual growth yet, albeit on a smaller base. The rising demand, especially in urban India, is being driven by growing consumer preference for health-conscious and functional beverage options.
