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.

Jane Street yet to resume F&O trade; market vigilance up: Sebi chief
Jane Street has not resumed trading in futures and options (F&O) since the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) lifted the bar imposed on July 3, said Tuhin Kanta Pandey, the regulator's chairman, in an interview with BusinessWorld. Pandey said that Sebi and exchanges are maintaining 'aggressive surveillance' of the market since the regulator's order against the US-based trading company. He defended the decision to impose only a temporary ban on the company, noting that a permanent one without a show-cause notice or a final order would be 'arbitrary and legally unsustainable.' Sebi lifted Jane Street's trading ban after the firm deposited Rs 4,844 crore in an escrow account and gave an undertaking to refrain from manipulative or fraudulent trading. Addressing concerns about market surveillance, Pandey said, 'Technology is evolving at a breakneck pace, and no regulator can claim to be superhuman. The Jane Street case highlighted the need to upgrade our surveillance systems, and we're actively doing so.' He added that Sebi has introduced new surveillance parameters and is exploring tools that use artificial intelligence to spot anomalies in F&O trading, including unusual delta exposures or spikes in out-of-the-money options. Sebi is also open to external expertise to keep pace with sophisticated market participants. 'Staying ahead of HFT [high-frequency traders] is a cat-and-mouse game, and we're committed to evolving dynamically,' he said. Sebi's ex-parte interim order on July 3 directed the impounding of alleged illegal gains from market manipulation, specifically on index expiry days. 'Our jurisprudence doesn't allow us to treat someone as guilty without due process. The $597 million deposit is a strong signal — unprecedented in itself — that Sebi means business. We're not here to play hero; we're here to build trust through consistent, lawful regulation,' said the Sebi chairman. He clarified that Jane Street was compliant with foreign portfolio investor (FPI) regulations, including disclosures of ultimate beneficiary ownership for stakes above 10 per cent. 'Their trades in F&O don't involve equity ownership,' Pandey noted. The July 3 order was based on surveillance reports provided by the NSE. Sebi has since broadened its investigation to include other indices and trading strategies. Addressing questions about potential data delays from the BSE, Pandey said, 'I wasn't aware of specific delays in BSE's data sharing, but I'll verify this. The Jane Street order focused on the manipulation evidence we already had, primarily from our surveillance and NSE data, which was sufficient for the interim action.'
