- At 11:14 am, Reliance Industries shares traded 0.49 per cent higher at Rs 1,768.10 apiece on the BSE, in line with a 0.53 per cent gain in the benchmark Sensex index.
- At this level, RIL's market value was at Rs 11,20,869.92 crore.

- The RIL shares have broken a slew of records in the past few days, rising on the back of investment in Jio as well as the success of the rights issue, say analysts.
- Mukesh Ambani said on Friday that Reliance Industries had raised a record Rs 1.69 lakh crore from global investors and a rights issue in 58 days.

- On that day, the market capitalisation of the country's most valuable company had touched the Rs 11 lakh-crore mark for the first time ever, after the oil-to-telecom conglomerate said it had become net-debt free much ahead of its March 2021 target.Â
- Reliance Industries shares have risen 16.21 per cent so far this year, sharply outperforming the benchmark Sensex index which is down 15.81 per cent.
