The company is preparing to broaden its connectivity portfolio beyond conventional terrestrial networks, complementing its nationwide 5G infrastructure and fixed wireless broadband offerings.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>At the same time, the group is making investments across a range of energy segments, including solar manufacturing, battery storage, green hydrogen, compressed biogas, bioenergy and underground coal gasification.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>Although the oil-to-chemicals division continues to be the group\u2019s largest contributor to earnings, Ambani said Reliance is gradually transforming the business to place greater emphasis on chemicals and advanced materials rather than transportation fuels.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>\u201cIn the long term, our aim is to convert all the oil we refine into chemicals and new materials,\u201d he said. \u201cI am confident that our future Oil-to-Chemicals and Materials business will ultimately become more valuable than the O2C business as it exists today.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>Consumer-facing operations are also expected to play a major role in the company\u2019s growth trajectory. During the year, Reliance Retail surpassed the milestone of 20,000 stores and plans to strengthen its manufacturing presence across food products, apparel, electronics and consumer goods, while also developing export opportunities for Indian brands.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"29\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Jio Platforms: Biggest Ever Indian IPO<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/>Mukesh Ambani also announced the board approval for the draft red herring prospectus of Jio Platforms IPO. The DRHP was filed soon after in what could be the biggest Indian IPO ever at nearly $4 billion (around Rs 37,700 crore).<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"33\"\/>According to the draft red herring prospectus, the company plans to issue up to 27 crore new shares. Following the offering, these shares will represent approximately 2.9 per cent of Jio Platforms\u2019 expanded equity capital.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"36\"\/>The draft document stated that the funds raised through the issue are proposed to be used for the repayment or prepayment, either fully or partially, of certain outstanding loans taken by its key subsidiary, Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd (RJIL), along with meeting general corporate requirements.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"38\"\/>Sources told PTI that the company is targeting a fundraise of about Rs 37,700 crore, which would make it the biggest public issue in the country\u2019s history.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"41\"\/>Based on the expected issue size, Jio Platforms is likely to command a valuation of roughly $137 billion.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"43\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Reliance leadership transition nears completion<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"45\"\/>Mukesh Ambani on Friday said the process of handing over operational leadership of the conglomerate to the next generation is nearing completion, with his children now overseeing the group\u2019s key businesses and managing day-to-day responsibilities.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"47\"\/>Ambani said Akash, Isha and Anant have assumed leadership roles across major verticals and will spearhead Reliance\u2019s future growth initiatives spanning telecommunications, retail, digital services and new energy businesses.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"50\"\/>The 69-year-old business leader praised his three children while noting that the transfer of operational management within the group is in its final stages, indicating that the succession roadmap at India\u2019s most valuable company is almost fully implemented.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"52\"\/>\u201cThe future of your company is not only secure, but rests with leaders who will take Reliance to even greater heights,\u201d he told shareholders.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"54\"\/>As in the previous year, Ambani invited twins Akash and Isha, both 34, to outline the growth strategy and business outlook for the telecom and retail segments, respectively.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"57\"\/>Anant, the youngest of the three siblings at 31, also addressed shareholders for the second consecutive year with an update on the energy business. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"59\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Reliance Consumer Products to cross Rs 1 lakh crore revenue<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"61\"\/>Reliance Industries expects its fast-moving consumer goods business, Reliance Consumer Products Ltd (RCPL), to achieve revenue of Rs 1 lakh crore ($10.5 billion) by FY30 as it works toward becoming one of the country\u2019s leading FMCG players, Reliance Retail Director <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/isha-ambani\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\">Isha Ambani<\/a> said on Friday.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"66\"\/>Isha Ambani described RCPL as the fastest-growing FMCG platform ever built in India. The company reported gross revenue of Rs 22,000 crore ($2.3 billion), reflecting a twofold increase from the previous year.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"68\"\/>\u201cWhat many established players took decades to accomplish, we have achieved within four years. This has positioned us among the fastest-growing FMCG platforms in India and among the quickest-growing consumer products companies globally,\u201d she said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"71\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Reliance Intelligence Moves into Execution Mode<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"73\"\/>Mukesh Ambani called upon the country\u2019s young engineering talent to play a leading role in Jio\u2019s ambitious artificial intelligence journey, urging them to collaborate in creating solutions tailored for India as Reliance Intelligence advances into its next stage of development focused on execution.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"75\"\/>Ambani stressed that India should not limit itself to using AI technologies developed abroad. Instead, he said, the country must emerge as a creator, adopter and global frontrunner in the field of artificial intelligence.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"78\"\/>\u201cI strongly believe India must not remain only a user of AI developed elsewhere. The nation should become a builder, adopter and worldwide leader in AI,\u201d Ambani said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"80\"\/>He highlighted that Reliance Intelligence, unveiled last year, was conceived with the objective of establishing a profitable AI ecosystem encompassing infrastructure, platforms and services designed to serve consumers, businesses and governments at scale.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"83\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Jio Eyes Bigger Role in Satellite Connectivity<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"85\"\/>IPO-bound Jio is now preparing to expand its connectivity ambitions into space through an indigenous satellite communications network, Jio Platforms Managing Director <!-- -->Akash Ambani<!-- --> said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"89\"\/>Currently, the satellite communications market is largely led by international players such as Elon Musk\u2019s Starlink and French operator Eutelsat.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"91\"\/>Akash Ambani said Jio\u2019s next mission is to extend connectivity to parts of the country that remain beyond the reach of traditional telecom infrastructure.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"94\"\/>\u201cJio connected India on the ground. The next step is connecting India from the skies. There are remote villages, island regions and border locations where conventional Jio networks cannot reach. Satellite connectivity can serve as the link that connects these communities with the rest of the country,\u201d he said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"96\"\/>Ambani revealed that Jio is assessing the possibility of developing a sovereign Low Earth Orbit satellite constellation for India as part of its long-term strategy.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"99\"\/>At the same time, the company is working with major global satellite constellation operators and leasing satellite capacity to speed up service rollout while it develops its own domestic capabilities.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"101\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Slashing AI costs for Indians<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"104\"\/>Reliance plans to transform the economics of artificial intelligence in India by making the technology significantly more affordable for citizens by the end of the decade, replicating the disruption Jio brought to mobile data services, Akash Ambani said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"107\"\/>He said the group is focused on creating AI solutions in India, developed by India, with the ambition of eventually serving global markets as well.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"109\"\/>He noted that one of the biggest obstacles to wider AI adoption in the country is the limited availability and high cost of computing power. To address this challenge, Reliance Intelligence is developing a sovereign AI infrastructure backbone at Jamnagar.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"111\"\/>\u201cJust as Jio transformed digital connectivity by making data affordable for every Indian, Reliance Intelligence will reshape AI economics and make artificial intelligence dramatically more affordable for every Indian by the end of this decade,\u201d Ambani said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"114\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Renewables push: Ambani Sees Energy \u2018Supercycle\u2019 Ahead<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"116\"\/>Reliance Industries is gearing up for what Mukesh Ambani termed a forthcoming energy \u201csupercycle\u201d in India, accelerating investments across renewable energy, chemicals, advanced materials and alternative fuel segments as the group works to lessen the nation\u2019s dependence on imported energy sources.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"118\"\/>Ambani outlined Reliance\u2019s broad-based energy strategy, which covers solar energy, battery storage, wind power, hydrogen, compressed biogas (CBG), bioenergy and underground coal gasification. <!-- -->The initiative is designed to enhance India\u2019s energy resilience while supporting a gradual shift toward cleaner fuel alternatives.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"122\"\/>Ambani cautioned that dependence on overseas supplies leaves the country vulnerable to geopolitical uncertainties and fluctuations in global prices.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"124\"\/>\u201cMore than 70 per cent of India\u2019s energy requirements continue to be met through external sources. This not only places a significant financial burden on the country but also exposes it to geopolitical risks. <!-- -->Such a situation cannot be sustained indefinitely,\u201d he said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"128\"\/>Ambani stated that Reliance is implementing what he described as the most extensive, integrated and forward-looking energy plan undertaken by any Indian corporate group. The effort spans a wide range of energy sources, including solar power, batteries, wind energy, hydrogen, underground coal gasification (UCG), compressed biogas and bioenergy.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"130\"\/>According to him, the overarching objective is to ensure that India can generate nearly all the energy it requires domestically, in ample quantities, at the lowest possible cost and with the least environmental impact.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"132\"\/><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/business\/india-business\/ril-agm-from-jio-platforms-ipo-satellite-broadband-focus-to-big-ai-renewable-energy-plans-top-takeaways\/articleshow\/131861474.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RIL chairman Mukesh Ambani at AGM RIL 49th AGM: Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani on Friday presented an expansive vision for the next phase of growth at RIL, centred on artificial intelligence, satellite-based connectivity, clean energy initiatives and consumer-focused businesses.
