At the 45th Annual General Meeting of the company, Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) Chairman and Managing Director, Mr. Mukesh Ambani, announced investment plans worth Rs. 3.5 trillion (US$ 43.79 billion).
Reliance has plans to invest Rs. 2 trillion (US$ 25.02 billion) in the rapid rollout of 5G, Rs. 75,000 crore (US$ 9.38 billion) in the expansion of O2C capacities across value chains, and Rs. 75,000 crore (US$ 9.38 billion) in the new energy sector.
