Reliance Industries Ltd. will be conducting its eagerly awaited 48th Annual General Meeting (AGM) today, August 29, 2025, at 2:00 PM IST, with Chairman Mukesh Ambani to address more than 44 lakh shareholders through video conferencing and other audio-visual modes.
How and When to Watch
The AGM is being conducted online to make it accessible, and attendees will be able to log in from 1:30 PM onwards. Shareholders and market observers can view the event live on the official website of Reliance, its YouTube, and social media, which makes it one of India’s biggest shareholder events.
Key Agenda and Expectations
Some major issues are likely to drive the agenda at this year’s AGM:
- Jio IPO Announcement: The market’s attention is keenly focused on whether Mukesh Ambani will eventually announce the much-awaited timeline of the Reliance Jio initial public offering, a step that has been expected to be a game-changer for the telecommunications industry.
- Dividend Decision: The firm had earlier fixed the record date as August 14 for eligibility for dividend, and the AGM will most likely approve the pay-out for the year 2024-25.
- Financial and Business Updates: Shareholders will get information on the consolidated financial statement for FY25 and updates on the important segments—digital, retail, new energy, and oil-to-chemicals.
- Technology and AI Programmes: After last year’s announcements of ambitious AI programmes, such as the “Jio Brain” platform and green energy data centres, reports are anticipated on how these programmes are progressing.
- Succession Planning and Roadmap Strategy: Mukesh Ambani is also likely to address succession planning and tomorrow’s growth strategy—issues of hot debate within business community circles.
Analyst and Market Outlook
Brokerages like Jefferies, CLSA, and JP Morgan are optimistic about Reliance, with expectations of good news on IPOs, expansion in AI and FMCG businesses, and visibility into the company’s clean energy plans. Investors await the AGM for value-releasing choices and information on Reliance’s aggressive capex plans, fast fashion initiatives, and quick commerce scale-up.
Nutshell
The 48th Reliance AGM promises to be a landmark event, potentially shaping not just the future trajectory of Reliance Industries but also setting market sentiment for India’s vibrant corporate landscape. With speculation rife regarding major announcements and ambitious initiatives, all eyes will be on Mukesh Ambani’s address as stakeholders await clarity and direction for the conglomerate’s next phase.
