Ambani family holds around 45% of the shares in RIL.[73]Since its
inception the company was managed by its founder and chairman
Dhirubhai Ambani. After suffering a heart attack in 1986, he handed
over the daily operations of the company to his sons Mukesh Ambani
and Anil Ambani. After the death of Dhirubhai Ambani in 2002, the
management of the company was taken up by both the brothers. In
November 2004, Mukesh Ambani, in an interview, admitted to having
differences with his brother Anil over 'ownership issues'.[74]He
also said that the differences "are in the private domain". The
share prices of RIL were impacted by some margin when this news
broke out. In 2005, after a bitter public feud between the brothers
over the control of the Reliance empire, mother Kokilaben
intervened to broker a deal splitting the RIL group business into
the two parts.[75]In October 2005, the split of Reliance Group was
formalized. Mukesh Ambani got Reliance Industries and IPCL. Younger
brother Anil Ambani received telecom, power, entertainment and
financial services business of the group. The Anil Dhirubhai Ambani
Group includes Reliance Communications, Reliance Infrastructure,
Reliance Capital, Reliance Natural Resources and Reliance
Power.[76][77]The division of Reliance group business between the
two brothers also resulted in de-merger of 4 businesses from
RIL.[78][79]These businesses immediately became part of Anil
Dhirubhai Ambani Group. The existing shareholders in RIL, both the
promoter group and non-promoters, received shares in the de-merged
companies.[20]RIL Plane grounded[edit]Business jet owned by
Reliance Industries (RIL) was grounded byThe Directorate General of
Civil Aviation (DGCA)on 22 March 2014 during a surprise inspection,
for carrying expired safety equipment on-board and also suspended
its pilot for flying without a licence.[80]ONGC Controversy[edit]In
May 2014,ONGCmoved toDelhi High Courtaccusing RIL of pilferage of
18 billion cubic metres from its gas-producing block in theKrishna
Godavari basin.[81]Subsequently, the two companies agreed to form
an independent expert panel to probe any pilferage.[82]Petition
against Reliance Jio[edit]APILfiled in the Supreme Court by an
NGOCentre for Public Interest Litigation, throughPrashant Bhushan,
challenged the grant of pan-India licence to RJIL by the Government
of India. The PIL alleged that RJIL was allowed to provide voice
telephony along with its4G data service, by paying an additional
fees of just165.8 crore(US$26million) which was arbitrary and
unreasonable, and contributed to a loss of2284.2
crore(US$360million) to the exchequer.[83][84]TheCAGin its draft
report alleged rigging of the auction mechanism, whereby an
unknownISP, Infotel Broadband Services Pvt Ltd, acquired the
spectrum by bidding 5000 times its net worth, after which the
company was sold to Reliance Industries within minutes of acquiring
license.[85]Research & Development, Technology Development and

Refinery[edit]With an annual crude processing capacity of 580,000
barrels (92,000m3) per stream day (BPSD), RPL will be the sixth
largest refinery in the world. It will have a complexity of 14.0,
using theNelson Complexity Index, ranking it one of the highest in
the sector. Thepolypropyleneplant will have a capacity to produce
0.9 million metric tonnes per annum.[citation needed]The refinery
project is being implemented at a capital cost ofRs270,000 million
being funded through a mix of equity and debt. This represents a
capital cost of less than US$10,000 per barrel per day and compares
very favourably with the average capital cost of new refineries
announced in recent years.[citation needed]TheInternational Energy
Agency(IEA) estimates the average capital cost of new refinery in
theOECDnations to be in the region of US$15,000 to 20,000 per
barrel per day.[citation needed]The low capital cost of RPL becomes
even more attractive when adjusted for high complexity of the
refinery.Reliance SolarReliance Solar, the solar energy subsidiary

Relicordis an initiative by theReliance Industriesin the field
of biotechnological advancement. It is established as a part of the
subsidiary of Reliance Industries,Reliance Life Sciences. ReliCord
is the first to have a registeredcord blood bankand repository in
India as well as the entire region of South East Asia. In terms of
Biotechnology India is currently amongst the top five countries in
the Asia Pacific region. Reliance Life Sciences and ReliCord are an
endeavour by the Reliance Group to tap into this emerging market
that has great potential.About Relicord[edit]ReliCord has already
stored over 3,500 cord blood samples at its repository. It conforms
to the AABB and USFDA guidelines and has an infrastructure to
collect cord blood from any corner of the country through its
collection centres. ReliCord offers public as well asprivate
bankingand is the only facility in India that offers stem cell
research for current and future applications. The cord blood
samples are stored at the Dhirubhai Ambani Life Sciences Centre
(DALC) campus in Navi Mumbai. The repository is completely
automated and uses the most advancedtechnologyunder the supervision
of a host of experiencedscientists.Social view[edit]ReliCord runs
three programs for the collection of cord blood: ReliCord S,
ReliCord A and ReliCord M. ReliCord S and ReliCord A offer stem
cell enriched cord blood repository services as well as stem cell
enriched cord blood for transplantation to address haematological
disorders. ReliCord S is a program forsiblingdonors. This program
is for a mother or a family that wants to process and bank the
umbilical cord blood stem cells from the present pregnancy. Only
family members waiting for transplantation can utilize this
program. Under ReliCord S the stored cord blood stem cells can be
used for haematopoetic stem cell transplantation for family members
suffering from diseases such asthalassemiaorleukemia. The ReliCord
S and A program not only stores the stem cells but also tests and
processes the same along with delivering the stem cells to the
transplant site as per the direction received from the transplant
physician.[1]Research[edit]ReliCord A is meant for patients who
require transplants with grafts from the repository. Under this
program a patient first has to obtain his HLA profile to facilitate
the availability of the graft. HLA profiling is also offered by
Reliance Life Sciences. ReliCord M offers umbilical cord banking
and cord tissue derived mesenchymal stem cells banking services as
a combined storage service for parents-to-be. The Relicord M
program offers umbilical cord collection, processing of the cord,
culturing of mesenchymal stem cells and storage of cord tissue with
15 million stem cells. Before storage the cord blood is tested
forHIV, HBV, HCV and CMV. The blood is also typed for Human
Leukocyte Antigens (HLA) Class 1 and 2 antigens before processing.
The stem cell enriched cord blood is then cryo-preserved at the
repository at a temperature of minus 196 degrees Celsius. Stem cell
enriched cord blood can be used as a therapy for the treatment of
thalassemia, leukemia, brain tumor, meuroblastoma and sickle cell
anaemia and can be used as an adjunct therapy
forchemotherapy.Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group

in Reliance Capital Asset Management for Rs. 1,450 crore, making it
the biggest inward stake buy in the mutual fund industry. The deals
were lauded in the Indian financial services sector in India by
analysts. Value Research, a major financial research firm lauded
this strategic stake sale by Reliance Capital to Nippon Life
Insurance in two of its businesses.[34][35][36]Industry players
also believe that such high value and credible deals struck by
Reliance Capital has helped increase the valuations of the Indian
financial services space in the prolonged global economic slowdown
and after the Lehman triggered financial crisis.[37]Reports
indicate that Reliance Capital is also planning to sell 26% stake
in its general insurance business - Reliance General Insurance - at
an appropriate time.[38]India's leading financial daily Economic
Times wrote, since Reliance General Insurance is one of the leading
players, the proposed stake sale is expected to generate handsome
capital gains for Reliance Capital. The de-leveraging of the
balance sheet and ongoing restructuring should help Reliance
Capital conserve capital and generate better return ratios. A
leaner company will also mean that it will be able to grow faster
when the business environment turns favourable once again.[39]After
the recent announcement by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley to
increase investment limit for foreigners in Indian insurance sector
to 49%, Espirito Santo said Reliance Capital is going to benefit
the most from the decision due to its successful presence in both
life and general insurance and ability draw appropriate valuation
from foreign partners due to its diversified strength and last mile
reach in financial services sector in India.[40]Reliance Capital in
July announced the merger of its global film and media services
business with Prime Focus to create an entity with a combined
turnover of over Rs 1,800 crore.[41]Reliance PowerFrom Wikipedia,

Ambaniplaced a single order for $8.3 billion withShanghai Electric
Group Company(SEC) for buying 36 coal-fired thermal power
generation units, spare parts and related services over a 10-year
period. This took the total deal size between Reliance Power and
the Chinese power equipment maker over the past couple of years to
$10 billion, making it the largest contract between a private
Indian company and a government-owned Chinese firm.While Reliance
Power has also given a $2.2 billion deal to US-basedGeneral
Electric, the agreement signed with SEC is on a different plane.
The Chinese company will supply boiler, turbine and generator
packages for up to 30,000 MW capacity of coal-based power at six
plants, including the 4000 MW ultra mega power project
inKrishnapatnam, the 3960 MW Project in Chitrangi and the 4000 MW
Power Project in Tilaiya.Loans from Exim bank[edit]Reliance Power
Ltd. signed an agreement with the US Export-Import Bank in 2010 for
a $5 billion loan to finance power projects. The loan will finance
900 megawatts of renewable technologies such as solar and wind
energy,[6]as well as up to 8000 MW of gas-based power generation
technology, the Indian company said in a statement. This $5 billion
agreement is in addition to the $917 million already approved by
the Ex-Im Bank for Reliance Power's coal-fired power plant at Sasan
in central India.The agreement will allow Reliance Power access
products and services at competitive rates and help create
manufacturing and services jobs in the US. The loan will also
enable quicker access to the bank's long-term dollar loans.
Reliance Power signed a pact with the US's General Electric Co.
(GE) worth INR100 billion ($2.2 billion) to implement a 2400 MW
power plant. The plant will be located in the southern Indian town
ofSamalkotand the pact was signed during the visit of President
Barack Obama.[7]Initial public offering and controversies[edit]On
15 January 2008, the company attracted $27.5 billion of bids on the
first day of itsinitial public offering(IPO), equivalent to 10.5
times the stock on offer, thereby, creating India's IPO record. The
upper cut off price for the bid wasRs.450[8]The proposed IPO was to
fund the development of its six power projects across the country
whose completion dates are scheduled from December 2009 to March
2014.[9]A media report suggested that, if the companys stock price
were to cross Rs. 650700, Anil Ambani would go past L. N. Mittal to
become the richest Indian.[10]"It is a reflection of world
community in the future of India... Investors seem to be confident
in the future of Indian economy," Indian Finance Minister,P.
Chidambaramtold the media about the IPO.[11]TheSecurities and
Exchange Board of India, which is an organisation that regulates
the activity in theIndianstock market, placed some restrictions
based on a complaint about the formulation of the IPO.[12]The
complaint also resulted in apublic interest litigationbeing filed
against the company. However, theSupreme Court of Indiapassed a
ruling that the IPO would go ahead even if any order is passed by
any Indian court against the venture.[13]Reliance Power debuted on
the stock markets on 11 February 2008. However, the markets were
still reeling after theJanuary 2008 stock market volatility, and
concerns over speculation that the issue was overpriced sent the
stock plummeting soon after its listing. At the end of the day, the
stock traded at a value that was 17 per cent lower than its issue
price of Rs. 450 .[14]Investors who were betting on the stock
reaching 1.5 or even twice its issue price lost a fortune in the
process. On 25 February, in an effort to mitigate investor losses,
Reliance Power decided to issue 3 bonus shares for every 5 shares
held.[15]Carbon credits[edit]On 2 February 2011 United Nations
registered Reliance Power's Sasan Power Plant to be eligible for
earning carbon credits followed by Krishnapatanm Ultra Mega Power
Project and Tilaiya Ultra Mega Power Projects. United Nations
issues carbon credits to companies which employs advanced
technologies in reducing carbon emission . These carbon credits can
then be sold to those companies that are emitting more than their
statutory emission limits.Reliance InfrastructureFrom Wikipedia,

coal mine is the largest integrated coal-cum-power plant in the
World. It is India's first domestic coal-based UMPP. With an
estimated cost of around Rs 20,000 Crores (US$ 4 billion), this is
the single largest investment happened across any industry in India
till date. Power generated from the project would be sold to 14
procurers in seven states of India at a levelized tariff. This UMPP
will use super critical technology which results in higher
operating efficiency and also reduces the carbon emissions thereby
making it an environment friendly technology. It is expected to be
fully operational in 2016.Reliance EntertainmentFrom Wikipedia, the
