Rationale and key rating drivers


The ratings assigned to the long-term as well as short-term instruments of Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) continue to derive
significant strength from its immensely experienced and resourceful promoter group, the highly integrated nature of its operations
with presence across the entire energy value-chain, its diversified revenue streams, and leadership position in the oil-to-chemicals
(O2C) segment. The ratings also factor in the leadership position attained by the group’s telecom business in the industry, the
leadership position in the organised retail sector as well as the induction of various strategic partners in the digital, retail and
media & entertainment businesses. RIL’s strong consolidated financial risk profile, marked by its comfortable capital structure and
superior liquidity as well as financial flexibility, further underpin its ratings.
The above-mentioned strengths mostly offset its exposure to the risks relating to the inherent cyclicality and volatility in crude oil
prices, apart from regulatory as well as technology risks associated with the telecom segment. The company’s recent foray in the
clean energy segment will entail large-size investments and will remain a key monitorable in the medium term.
CARE Ratings Limited (CARE Ratings) has withdrawn the rating assigned to the aforementioned NCD issues* of RIL (ISIN:
INE002A08625 and INE002A08658) with immediate effect, as the company has repaid these NCD issues in full and there is no
amount outstanding against the issues as on date.

Rating sensitivities: Factors likely to lead to rating actions


Positive factors: Not applicable
Negative factors:
• Any major debt-funded capex resulting in deterioration of the financial risk profile.
• Deterioration in the net debt to PBILDT beyond 2.5x on a sustained basis.

Analytical approach: Consolidated


CARE Ratings has considered the consolidated approach to analyse RIL, as its subsidiaries/step-down subsidiaries/joint venture
(JVs)/associates are strategically important to RIL given the significant investments especially in the consumer-facing businesses,
viz, telecom and retail, as well as in media and entertainment, alongside the strong operational linkages with some of these
companies. The list of entities consolidated with RIL as per its audited results for FY23 has been placed in Annexure-5.

Outlook: Stable
CARE Ratings believes that RIL shall continue to maintain its leadership position in its diversified key business segments, viz., oil
to chemicals, telecom and retail, which shall lead to sustenance of its strong credit profile on a consolidated basis.

Detailed description of the key rating drivers


Key strengths
Resourceful promoter group and experienced management:
RIL is the flagship company of the Reliance (Mukesh D. Ambani) group – the largest private sector enterprise in India. The
promoters are resourceful and the management, represented by the Board of Directors, comprises eminent individuals with vast
experience in their respective fields. The top management team, including Mr. Mukesh D. Ambani, has significant knowledge in
the field of petrochemicals and oil and gas, along with a proven track record of successfully implementing large-scale complex
projects. The management team’s competence is further evidenced from their ability to establish leadership position of the group
in consumer facing businesses such as digital/telecom and retail in a relatively short time frame.

Press Release

Highly integrated product line and operations in the O2C segment:


RIL operates along the entire energy value-chain of O2C segment, starting from oil and gas exploration and production up to
manufacturing of petrochemicals and transportation fuels, imparting higher value-addition and making its production line
substantially cost-efficient, thereby allowing it to place its products at a competitive price.

Leadership position in the O2C segment:


RIL has reorganised its refining and petrochemicals businesses into an integrated O2C segment. RIL has a leadership position in
various product segments of the domestic petrochemical market. RIL is also among the top 10 global manufacturers of products,
such as paraxylene, polypropylene, mono ethylene glycol, purified terephthalic acid, etc. A dominant and diverse presence across
the petrochemicals segment, coupled with feedstock flexibility, de-risks RIL’s revenues from sluggishness in any product and
enables the company to command better pricing terms in the industry.
RIL operates the largest single location refinery in the world, at Jamnagar, having a complexity index of 21.1 and a crude
processing capacity of almost 1.4 million metric barrels per day (MMBPD). Moreover, with such high complexity, the refinery is
capable of processing low-cost, heavy, and ultra-heavy crude to produce clean fuels, thereby commanding higher margins.
The O2C segment contributed around 52% and 38% to RIL’s consolidated gross revenue and PBILDT, respectively, during H1FY24
(55% and 42% respectively during FY23). During H1FY24, the segment’s gross revenue declined by 13% y-o-y due to relatively
lower crude oil prices; however, PBILDT remained largely stable, supported by sustained healthy transportation fuel cracks, and
was partly offset by decline in polymers/polyester chain margins due to weak export demand in a well-supplied market.

Leadership position in the organised retail sector:


Reliance Retail Limited (RRL: rated ‘CARE AAA; Stable/ CARE A1+’), the organised retail business of the RIL group, is the largest
retailer in the country by reach, scale and profitability.
As on September 30, 2023, RRL (on a consolidated basis) had presence in more than 7,000 cities and towns, with 18,650 stores
and 71.5 million sq ft of aggregate retail space across its diverse consumption baskets, offering products and services across
consumer electronics, grocery, general merchandise, apparel, footwear, lingerie, jewellery, home and living, and pharma
categories. The rapid store expansion across Tier-II, III and IV cities, launch and expansion of the digital and new commerce
business, stronger value proposition, favourable product mix and the catchment-focussed assortment, leading to increasing
footfalls have been the key drivers for the robust growth of its retail business.
During FY21, the company had launched the JioMart grocery consumer platform (jiomart.com) across over 250 cities, leveraging
the wide network of RRL's grocery stores and well-established supply chain infrastructure to become India's largest hyperlocal
retail solution. JioMart has since expanded beyond grocery into other categories such as electronics, fashion & lifestyle and is now
a cross-category horizontal platform with a wide catalogue selection and seller base. The company also activated JioMart Kirana
Service, which has expanded its reach with rapid onboarding of around 3 million merchant partners in the existing and new
markets. The business continued to attract numerous customers across the country through its wide portfolio of stores and digital
commerce platforms, with its registered customer base growing to 281 million as on September 30, 2023, up by 27% y-o-y.
During H1FY24, retail segment’s gross revenue and PBILDT witnessed healthy y-o-y growth of 19% and 33% respectively, with
around 19% contribution from digital and new commerce business. The retail segment contributed around 27% and 13% to RIL’s
consolidated gross revenue and PBILDT, respectively, during H1FY24 (24% and 12% respectively during FY23).

Leadership position in the telecom/digital services sector:


Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited (RJIL: rated ‘CARE AAA; Stable/ CARE A1+’) is the largest telecom operator in the country in terms
of subscriber base. As on September 30, 2023, Jio network’s subscribers base stood at approximately 459.7 million (up 8% y-o-
y). In terms of broadband subscriber base, it has a leading market share of around 52% (as on June 30, 2023) as per the latest
Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) report. The average revenue per user (ARPU) for Q2FY24 was ₹181.7 per subscriber
per month, as compared with ₹177.2 during Q2FY23, led by a sustained improvement in the subscriber mix and data consumption.
Consequently, during H1FY24, digital segment’s gross revenue and PBILDT witnessed healthy y-o-y growth of 11% and 16%
respectively. The digital services segment contributed around 12% and 33% of RIL’s consolidated gross revenue and PBILDT,
respectively, during H1FY24 (11% and 34% respectively during FY23).

Strong financial risk profile characterised by robust capital structure:


During FY23 & H1FY24, the consolidated PBILDT of the company increased substantially by around 31% and 17% on a y-o-y
basis respectively, primarily on account of improved operating performance in consumer-facing businesses, i.e. retail and digital
services. RIL has consistently maintained a healthy capital structure which has also been aided by infusion of growth capital by
strategic marquee investors in some of its key businesses. After significant equity raising in its subsidiaries Jio Platforms Limited
and Reliance Retail Ventures Limited during FY21, Bodhi Tree Systems (a platform of Lupa Systems) invested ₹4,306 crore during
Q1FY24 in its media and entertainment step-down subsidiary, Viacom18 Media Private Limited. Also, RRL recently raised equity
of ₹15,314 crore from marquee global investors. As on September 30, 2023, the consolidated overall gearing and net debt/PBILDT

Press Release

(debt including deferred spectrum payment and lease liabilities) of RIL stood at a healthy level of 0.49x and 1.46x, respectively
(0.54x and 1.85x as on March 31, 2023 respectively).

Liquidity: Superior
RIL has consistently generated healthy cash flow from operations and maintained a healthy capital structure with an overall
gearing of less than unity. The company also exhibits a superior liquidity profile, with total cash and equivalents of ₹177,960 crore
as on September 30, 2023. Moreover, the company has large unutilized working capital limits, providing an additional liquidity
cushion. Furthermore, the company has superior financial flexibility, given its ability to easily access capital markets and raise
funds at highly competitive interest rates. RIL is expected to raise ₹20,000 crore through NCD issuances, which is expected to be
primarily utilized for refinancing of the debt maturing in next twelve months. This will help RIL to maintain its already strong
liquidity profile.

Key weaknesses
Risks due to industry cycles and volatility in crude oil prices:
The prices of crude oil are a function of many dynamic market and fundamental factors such as the global demand-supply
dynamics, geo-political situation in countries with oil reserves, Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) policies,
USD exchange rates, etc. These factors, along with speculation activity, have translated into a high level of volatility in crude oil
prices. Any upward revision in the prices of feedstock as well as any downturn in product prices resulting from existing or future
excess industry capacities may adversely impact the revenues and profitability of the company. However, RIL’s presence across
transportation fuels and entire petrochemical value chain helps the company counter the effect of these volatilities and cyclicality
to a large extent. Furthermore, most of the payables and receivables of this business are denominated in the USD, thereby
minimizing the cash flow risk on account of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.

Competitive intensity and regulatory risks associated with the telecom segment:
The telecom business of the company is exposed to the competitive pressure as well as regulatory risks (such as spectrum auction
policies of the Government, etc) associated with the telecom industry. However, the telecom business of the company has been
gaining market share since its launch, both in terms of subscribers and revenue market share.

Large investments envisaged in the capital-intensive and technology-dependent segments, viz, telecom and clean
energy:
The RIL group has made large-scale investments towards its telecom business, i.e., RJIL, wherein, it has built a 5G ready network
infrastructure and sufficient network capacity. However, the sector needs continuous technology upgradation to support the ever-
increasing data consumption needs. Also, the company has incurred large capex towards acquisition of 5G spectrum in August
2022. However, with RJIL’s 5G ready network and extensive fibre assets along with access to fiberised towers, the additional
capex on the network as well as equipment infrastructure is expected to be moderate.
RIL announced setting up of Dhirubhai Ambani Green Energy Giga Complex over 5,000 acres in Jamnagar with giga factories for
photovoltaic panels, energy storage, green hydrogen, fuel cell system and power electronics, and has made couple of technological
acquisitions for the same. RIL has also announced long-term plan to establish and enable at least 100 GW of solar energy
generation capacity by 2030 and achieve the target of becoming net-zero carbon by 2035. RIL’s new energy segment remains
exposed to technology as well as competitive risks as the RIL group is a relatively new entrant in the sector; however, its
experience of timely and successful execution of large-scale and complex projects mitigates this risk to a large extent.
Also, in June 2022, Viacom18 had acquired the exclusive rights to digitally stream Indian Premier League (IPL) cricket matches
in the Indian sub-continent as well as certain overseas TV and digital rights for the seasons from 2023 to 2027 at an aggregate
cost of ₹24,353 crore. Further, in August 2023, Viacom18 acquired digital and TV media rights for the international and domestic
cricket matches from BCCI, for September 2023-March 2028 period, for a rights fee of ₹5,963 crore.
However, RIL’s credit profile is expected to remain stable driven by its healthy cash flow generation from diversified businesses
and strong financial flexibility. The same is expected to enable it to comfortably meet its various capex requirements, aided by
the proven track record of its competent management team.
