Reliance Industries said on Friday that it has raised more than Rs 1,68,818 crore in 58 days. With these investments, the group said it has become net debt-free. Reliance Industries is now "in its golden decade", said billionaire Mukesh Ambani as his group became net debt-free, much ahead of its original goal of achieving the status by the end of March 2021. "I have fulfilled my promise to the shareholders by making Reliance net debt-free much before our original schedule of 31st March 2021," Mukesh Ambani said in a statement released early on Friday. The conglomerate's net debt had stood at Rs 1,61,035 crore as of March 31, 2020.
