Reliance Industries share price target at Rs 1,300 or Rs 1,767? What brokerages predict
Reliance Industries
(RIL) on Monday fell 3.5% to Rs 1,423 on BSE as Q1 results didn't provide the growth confidence that the market was looking for, but Mukesh Ambani's plan to double earnings by 2029 left room for optimism in the air. While Kotak Equities downgraded the bluechip Nifty stock to add from buy rating, JP Morgan and Jefferies have upgraded their target price by 8% and 5%, respectively.
Out of 27 brokerages with coverage on the stock, 7 of them have target prices of at least Rs 1,700-mark. Nuvama remains the most bullish with the highest target price of Rs 1,767 on RIL. Others with targets of Rs 1,700 or more are

On the other hand, Ambit is the biggest bear on RIL with a target price as low as Rs 1,300 and a sell call. Out of the 27 brokerage houses, 25 have a Buy/Add recommendation.
The median target price of all brokerages stands at Rs 1,640, about 15% upside from current price.
"RIL's June quarter earnings will not inspire the confidence we had hoped for both in energy and consumer retail. However, the miss in energy earnings was caused by temporary factors related to lower availability of cheaper crudes and expensive fuel oil; it should bounce back sharply in the current quarter. The weak top--line growth in retail reflects a very bumpy path ahead. The bright spot was New Energy, which we believe will surprise," Morgan Stanley said while maintaining its overweight call with a target price of Rs 1,617.

Explained: Why Reliance Industries shares fell 3% after reporting highest-ever profit
Most analysts said RIL's Q1 results were a mixed bag with positive momentum in Jio offset by slower-than-forecast retail revenue.
Kotak Institutional Equities, which downgraded the stock to add from buy rating, also reduced the target price from Rs 1,650 to Rs 1,520, saying that valuations are richer and the upside looks limited after the recent run-up in share prices.
RIL shares
have rallied around 17% so far in the calendar year.
Investors will now focus on the upcoming AGM within two months and look for further announcements on growth plans in FMCG, the ramp-up of new energy facilities, the expansion of the media business, acceleration of growth in retail, the ramp-up of subscriber additions and monetisation for Jio along and the IPO of Jio, CLSA said.
BofA Securities said beyond Q1, it continues to see steady to

Mukesh Ambani and Isha Ambani to challenge Baba Ramdev in THIS sector, launches new brand named.., will sell...
(File) In a major challenge to Baba Ramdev-owned Patanjali, billionaire Mukesh Ambani and his daughter Isha Ambani have ventured into the Ayurveda beauty products sector, and launched the Puraveda brand on Tira, the beauty platform of Reliance Retail. According to details, Puraveda, an Ayurvedic beauty brand, launched with four distinct ranges of products, as it aims to compete with market leaders like Ramdev's Patanjali brand. Why Puraveda is a challenge to Baba Ramdev? Speaking at the launch, Tira co-founder and CEO Bhakti Modi, who is also a close-aide of Isha Ambani, said the Puraveda brand combines ancient Indian ayurvedic heritage with modern innovation. 'At Tira, we always aim to promote brands that go beyond beauty and inspire people toward self-care,' she said. The brand could pose major competition to companies like Baba Ramdev-led Patanjali as Mukesh Ambani's Reliance is known to disrupt sectors with its innovative marketing methods and competitive pricing. What products is Puraveda selling? As per details, Puraveda currently has over 50 ayurvedic products listed on Tira, which are categorized into four different ranges– Dhara, Niyam, Sama and Urja– based on the ingredients used. Currently, the Puraveda brand offers skin care, hair care, and body-care beauty products, all made using traditional ayurvedic ingredients and methods. Puraveda products can be purchased from Tira stores and its website. Who is Tira CEO Bhakti Modi? Bhakti Modi, a close childhood friend of Isha Ambani, was appointed as the CEO of Tira, a versatile beauty platform under the umbrella of Reliance Retail– the retail arm of Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries– when the brand was launched in late 2023. Bhakti, the daughter of Manoj Modi, a close aide and business associate of Mukesh Ambani, co-founded Tira with her friend Isha Ambani, which currently delivers to more than 98% pin codes across India. Tira also has stores in all major cities in the country.

Strong Q1 results, guidance lift New India Assurance shares by 18%
Shares of state-owned New India Assurance Company, the largest non-life insurer, jumped almost 18 per cent on Wednesday, aided by strong quarterly earnings and guidance from the management. The shares of New India rose by 20 per cent during the day and closed 17.7 per cent up at Rs 204.6. The insurer recorded 80 per cent year-on-year (Y-o-Y) growth in net profit to Rs 391 crore in the April–June quarter of FY26 (Q1FY26), compared to Rs 217 crore in Q1FY25. Its gross written premium grew by 13.11 per cent Y-o-Y to Rs 13,334 crore, while investment income rose by 23.7 per cent Y-o-Y to Rs 2,290 crore. On the other hand, expenses declined by 10.25 per cent Y-o-Y to Rs 11,125.01 crore. However, the loss in the Air India crash dragged the underwriting losses to Rs 1,756 crore, up from Rs 1,588 crore in Q1FY25. The company plans to focus on strengthening profitability, with a strong emphasis on launching innovative products aimed at the retail and micro, small and medium enterprise (MSME) segments. During the post-earnings analyst call, the management said it aspires to achieve a 3 per cent lower combined ratio, targeting around 113 per cent in FY26. The market share of the general insurer also increased to 15.51 per cent in Q1FY26 from 14.65 per cent in Q1FY25, according to General Insurance Council data. 'The healthy growth rate in domestic business was despite lower growth in motor vehicles, where we have taken a more cautious approach considering the current competitive intensity. The combined ratio at 116.16 per cent was stable compared to the same period last year. The unfortunate incident involving the Air India flight had an adverse impact on the underwriting results. The health segment witnessed a slightly higher loss ratio, and some large losses impacted the liability and miscellaneous portfolio as well. Some more provisions were made towards legacy non-moving balances, which were offset by a healthy investment income,' said Girija Subramanian, chairperson and managing director, New India Assurance.
