Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) 46th Annual General Meeting saw some major technology announcements.

RIL Chairman Mukesh Ambani called the company ‘New Reliance’ which will be a new age-technology-driven company with distinctive capabilities.

However, he did not reveal any plans of IPOs for Reliance Retail and Reliance Jio which the market was expecting.

However, talking about the recently demerged financial entity, Ambani said Jio Financial Services will enter the insurance segment.

"The AGM held by Reliance was largely uneventful for the market. The key highlight was the succession plan. However, the company's stock experienced a decline due to the absence of clear timelines regarding the telecom and retail IPOs.

RIL Board recommended the appointment of Isha Ambani, Akash Ambani and Anant Ambani on the Board of Directors. "I shall especially mentor them," Ambani said.

"I shall perform duties as Chairman and Managing Director of Reliance Industries for 5 more years," said Mukesh Ambani.

RIL chairman highlighted the gradual transition of its O2C business into a green business. "We have embarked on transitioning O2C business into a sustainable and green business. We are accelerating our journey to achieve Net Zero by 2035 through renewables and bioenergy," said RIL Chairman Mukesh Ambani.
