Anant Ambani, Wife Radhika Merchant Offer Prayers At Haridwar's Har Ki Pauri
Last Updated:
Anant Amban and his wife, Radhika Merchant, performed the Ganga pujan with purohits of the Ganga Sabha
Anant Ambani, who recently became a whole-time director of Reliance Industries Limited, visited Haridwar's Har Ki Pauri with his wife, Radhika Merchant, on Sunday.
Ambani performed the Ganga pujan with purohits of the Ganga Sabha.
Har ki Pauri is a pilgrimage site in Uttarakhand. Har ki Pauri or Brahmakund is the main ghat of Haridwar. It is believed that this is the place from where Ganga river leaves the mountains and takes the direction of the plains.
Last month, Ambani completed his 170-kilometre padyatra from Jamnagar to Shree Dwarkadhish Temple to mark his 30th birthday. Ambani started the padyatra to the temple on March 29.
'It's my religious yatra. I begin this yatra with the name of God, and I am completing it with his name. I thank Bhagawan Dwarkadhish. I also thank the people for joining me on this yatra," he told ANI.
The younger son of Mukesh Ambani is a devoted pilgrim and philanthropist who often visits India's revered temples and generously supports their causes. His contributions have helped restore and maintain iconic temples such as the Kalighat Temple in Kolkata, the Shrinathji Temple in Nathdwara, and the Kamakhya Temple in Assam.
In February, Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani, along with his family, attended the Mahakumbh Mela and took a holy dip at the Triveni Sangam. He was accompanied by his mother, Kokilaben Ambani, and other family members, including his sons Akash and Anant, daughters-in-law Shloka and Radhika, grandchildren Prithvi and Veda, and sisters Dipti Salgaocar and Nina Kothari.
During the Maha Kumbh, Anant Ambani also extended his support to several Akharas.
Additionally, he serves as a trustee at the sacred Badrinath and Kedarnath Dham, further solidifying his commitment to India's spiritual heritage.
Reliance had launched Teerth Yatri Seva for the Maha Kumbh, which began on January 13 and ends on February 26, taking forward its 'We Care' philosophy.
As part of the Seva, Reliance provided the pilgrims with a wide spectrum of services – from nourishing meals and essential healthcare to safe transportation and seamless connectivity.
'It is said that when we serve Teerth Yatris, we too are blessed. Our services to the pilgrims who are on a spiritual journey, in a once-in-a-millennium event, aim to meet the needs of the most vulnerable among them," Anant Ambani, Director, Reliance Industries Limited, had said, announcing the launch.
The Ambani family, which attended the Ram Lalla pran pratishtha at Ayodhya, also made a donation of Rs 2.51 crore to the Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust.
Anant Ambani also serves on the boards of several Reliance group companies, including Jio Platforms since March 2020, Reliance Retail Ventures since May 2022, and Reliance New Energy and Reliance New Solar Energy since June 2021. He has also been a board member of Reliance Foundation since September 2022. Ambani, who has a Bachelor's degree from Brown University in the US, is also very passionate about animal welfare and has spearheaded several initiatives, including Jamnagar's Vantara, focused on rehabilitating at-risk animals.

Mukesh Ambani announces 151cr endowment to his alma mater ICT
Mumbai: When Mukesh Ambani — India's richest man and chairman of Reliance Industries — returned to his alma mater, the Institute of Chemical Technology (ICT), he didn't just bring memories and his speech. He brought a tribute. A Rs 151-crore endowment, the largest in the institute's history, was announced on Friday. The occasion was the launch of Anita Patil's 'The Divine Scientist', a biography of Padma Vibhushan professor Man Mohan Sharma, described by many as the towering intellect who shaped Indian chemical engineering talent. When speaking of Guru Dakshina, Ambani announced the grant of Rs 151 crore to ICT, as per Sharma's instructions. "When he tells us something, we just told me, 'Mukesh, you have to do something big for ICT', and I am pleased to announce that for Prof Sharma," Ambani said, referring to the grant. "Most respected Prof Sharma," he addressed everyone, "my fellow Udcitians, coming to UDCT campus, I still call it that, has always felt like coming to a sacred temple. Prof Sharma, my warm respects to you as my most respected guru, my mentor, and my enduring source of inspiration." Praising Patil, he said: "It is a Herculean task to chronicle the life of a legend like Sharma." "I chose UDCT over IIT-Bombay," Ambani said, recalling the conviction of youth. That conviction was sealed when he attended Sharma's very first lecture. "I realised he is an alchemist, not of metals, but minds: he has the power to transform curiosity into knowledge, knowledge into commercial value, and both knowledge and commercial value into everlasting wisdom." Crediting the rise of the Indian chemical industry to Sharma's efforts, Ambani referred to him as a 'Rashtra Guru — a Guru of Bharat'. "He is our Yugpurush," said prof J B Joshi, former head of ICT. Not with reverence alone, but with the clarity of someone who saw how Sharma's life was distilled into a single principle: "Be a good teacher, do research at the frontier of knowledge, and use that for industry and society." Prof G D Yadav, former head at ICT, offered a staggering number — 1,300 PhDs trace their academic lineage to Sharma, directly or through those he mentored. "He is omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent," said Yadav, invoking a title rarely uttered outside epics: "Bhramarishi."

UP govt's ‘fully state-funded pharma park' invites centres from Gujarat pharma industry
A delegation from the Uttar Pradesh government, visiting Ahmedabad on Friday to promote its upcoming Bulk Drug Pharma Park in UP's Lalitpur district, announced that five companies, including Bharat Biotech and Dr Reddy's Laboratories, have already been allocated land and begun to set up their units. In total, 26 companies have expressed interest, including NATCO Pharma, Vins Bioproducts Ltd, and Rockwell Industries Ltd. The outreach event was held in collaboration with the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII). Mayur Maheshwari, CEO of the Uttar Pradesh State Industrial Development Authority (UPSIDA) and an IAS officer, addressed industry stakeholders and highlighted the park's strategic importance in reducing India's dependence on China for bulk drug production. Appealing directly to the Gujarat pharma industry, he said, 'We've come to Ahmedabad, which has shown the way for India. We request you to set up a parallel centre (in UP). We are more than ready to welcome you with open arms and we hope to match and provide even better facilities…' 'We have had this vacuum of bulk drugs and formulation in India. About 60% of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) are imported from China. This dependence is not only strategic, but it is a challenge to our entrepreneurs. If China can do it, why not UP and the rest of India?' Maheshwari said. During an interaction with the press, Maheshwari said that Gujarat was an important link for the Bulk Drug Pharma Park for its connectivity to the ports. Invoking cultural and spiritual references, Maheshwari said, 'This is the land of Shri Ram, Shri Krishna and Shri Buddha. When these three powers are present in a state, in a country, there can only be prosperity.' He praised the Yogi Adityanath-led government's leadership, citing the 'successful' hosting of the Mahakumbh, where 67 crore people had the opportunity to take the holy dip and that it 'went very well'. 'This is the first completely state-funded pharma park. All the money is from the UP government. We don't need to approach the Centre. Himachal Pradesh got a bulk drug pharma park in 2020-21 which is a non starter. In Andhra Pradesh, it has been four years and it is still just starting out… For allocation of resources and funding, we will do this on our own, which has not been possible even in Andhra and Gujarat,' said Maheshwari. When asked about skilled manpower by a stakeholder, Maheshwari said, 'We have developed a Promote Pharma initiative, which is a Section 8 company to strengthen and develop capacity building. It will invite the best professionals and will have industry, academia and govt linkage. Need-based professionals will come from there. We are also trying to get a National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (NIPER) in UP, to add to this ecosystem.' The Bulk Drug Pharma Park is coming up in Lalitpur district, located near the geographic centre of India. Delegation members highlighted that Uttar Pradesh has 14 airports, six of them international, and a dedicated helipad is also planned within the park. Additionally, both the Eastern and Western dedicated Railway Freight Corridors pass through the state, further strengthening connectivity. In the first phase, the UP government is developing 352 acres of the park. Officials said that 1,500 acre were already available for future expansion and that the park can be scaled up to 5,000 acres if needed. Maheshwari said, 'Lalitpur was also chosen because it is important to avail environmental clearance (EC) for the bulk drug and API industries. This place has less habitation. We have already got the EC. Masterplan is also approved and facility building work is already underway.' Of the park's total area, 67% is reserved for industry, 13% for green spaces, and the rest for support infrastructure and common facilities. Comparing it to other pharma parks in other states, Maheshwari said, 'We have lab testing, R&D incubation facilities, common climate controlled warehouses and technical regulatory support. We have these facilities which are missing in other places like Genome Park in Telangana and Jawaharlal Nehru Pharma City in Vizag of Andhra Pradesh.' On land pricing, he explained, 'We are giving land on a 90 year lease at Rs 75-77 lakh per acre but those setting up anchor units on 35-50 acre land will get 10% more discount. Basically, it is at Rs 1,700 per square metre of land for anchor units and Rs 1,914 per square metre for normal units. There is a 2% additional waiver if you make a full one-time payment.' Maheshwari said the park's incentives fall under the UP Pharma and Medical Devices Policy 2023 and include capital and interest subsidies, stamp duty exemption, patent and clinical trial support, a 10-year electricity duty waiver, and subsidies for quality certifications. Asked when companies can start operations, Maheshwari said, 'Right now.'

Refiners Reliance and Nayara tap India's drivers as export markets tighten
India's two major private-sector refiners, which have long prioritised exports, are turning to local sales, grabbing share in the country's fast-growing $150 billion fuel retail market as weaker global demand squeezes profit margins offshore. Reliance Industries and Nayara Energy are stepping up sales at home as fuel demand growth slows in developed markets and China, the world's second biggest oil consumer, with the transition to electric vehicles. The lower demand offshore combined with supply competition from new refiners, such as Dangote in Nigeria, and rising exports from China's underutilised processors have compressed global refining margins and have made the Indian market, where suppliers save on freight and taxes, more attractive. As a result, "private refiners are increasingly looking to supply to the domestic market, which is still growing at a healthy pace," said Prashant Vasisht, senior vice president at credit rating firm ICRA. The International Energy Agency expects India will become the largest source of global oil demand growth out to 2030, in contrast with China, where fuel demand may have already peaked. FGE analyst Dylan Sim said Indian gasoline consumption and diesel demand are on track to grow around 4 per cent and 2 per cent per year, respectively, over the next decade or so. "Couple that with the market volatility and uncertainties seen in recent years, it makes sense for these private companies to try and diversify their businesses," Sim said. Private Plants Hold Crude Advantage Offering discounts and growing their networks of big, modern stations featuring expansive retail offerings, private sector operators expanded their share of diesel sales to 11.5 per cent and gasoline sales to 9.2 per cent in the fiscal year that ended in March 2025, up from 5.2 per cent and 6.7 per cent respectively two years earlier, government data showed. Reliance , controlled by billionaire Mukesh Ambani, and Nayara have a key advantage that allows them to undercut the dominant state-owned refiners at the pump. They can run cheaper crudes through their plants than their bigger rivals, which have simpler, aging refineries. The two are the country's biggest buyers of discounted Russian crude , available since 2022. While the private refiners do not publish their refining margins, analysts at Jefferies expect Reliance's margin to hold around $2 a barrel stronger than the benchmark Singapore refining margin due to its blending of cheaper Russian and Canadian crudes. Reliance sells fuels through Jio-BP , its retailing tie-up with UK major BP which has 1,916 outlets in India. Its domestic sales volumes of diesel rose by 35 per cent and gasoline by 24 per cent in the quarter ended in March from a year ago, Reliance told analysts in May, without specifying volumes. Jio-BP plans to invest about 10 billion rupees ($117 million) annually to expand its local footprint in coming years as it sees a "long pathway" and growth in diesel demand in India through at least 2040, Vinod Tahiliani, chief financial officer at Reliance BP Mobility, told Reuters. Jio-BP offers discounts of 1 rupee ($0.01) per litre of diesel and petrol off the price charged by state-owned retailers at its service stations. Nayara, whose biggest shareholder is Russia's Rosneft, in April reintroduced discounts of 2-3 rupees per litre on gasoline and 1 rupee per litre on diesel. Selling through more than 6,500 fuel stations, it aims to add 400 this year, according to its website. Nayara did not reply to a request for comment. State players Indian Oil Corp , Hindustan Petroleum Corp and Bharat Petroleum Corp, which operate more than 90 per cent of India's roughly 97,000 filling stations, have not cut pump prices as they seek to recoup losses on sales of cooking gas at government-fixed below-market rates, company sources say. The three did not respond to Reuters' requests for comment. Service Stations Get Creative India, meanwhile, is expanding its highway network and auctioning large roadside plots for building fuel stations featuring a host of amenities for motorists. Sukhmal Jain, who recently retired as head of marketing at BPCL , said state refiners are rapidly building their networks, including bidding for highway-side plots, and looking to offer services such as eateries, recreational areas and gym facilities in order to compete and boost sales. The state retailers are also opening stores under a common brand name Apna Ghar, which means "Own House", with amenities such as dormitories, barbers, self-cooking facilities, laundry, and doctors on call for truckers who are on the road for more than 20-25 days a month, Jain said. India's oil ministry said recently that Apna Ghar operates at 350 locations with 4,431 beds. S.P. Singh, who manages a fleet of about 800 trucks and 150 trailers for New Delhi-based Chaudhary Transport, said his drivers are drawn to the amenities and cheaper fuel at private operators. "They have convenience stores and cafes. Their staff is more responsive to customers and their toilets are clean," he said.
