The sale of more than 25 per cent in Jio Platforms along with a rights issue worth over Rs 53,000 crore have helped Reliance Industries become net debt-free much earlier than its target of March 2021.
Reliance Industries is now "in its golden decade", chairman and managing director Mr Ambani had said last month, as his group reached the milestone. "I have fulfilled my promise to the shareholders by making Reliance net debt-free much before our original schedule of 31st March 2021," he had said.
