The company has successfully piloted JioMart grocery model with kirana partners. Daily orders have crossed 2.5 lakh, and the number is growing each day Reliance Retail has received strong interest from strategic and financial investors. The company will induct a global partners and investors in Reliance Retail in the next few quarters Petrochemicals & O2C: During lockdown, RIL leveraged its deep understanding of global markets and enhanced petrochemical and fuel exports over 2.5 times in just two weeks. In Apr’20, the O2C business accounted for nearly 50% of India’s exports The company have commissioned India’s first Butyl Rubber plant, which places the company among the world’s top ten producers of Butyl Rubber. Reliance is being approached by global companies for strategic partnerships in its petchem business. RIL has concluded its JV with British Petroleum in the existing fuel retailing business. British Petroleum has invested INR 7,629 crore for their 49% stake in the JV Deal with Saudi Aramco has not progressed as per original timeline due to unforeseen situation in energy market & COVID-19 situation. The company values its two-decade relationship with Aramco and are committed to long term partnership.

The company expects to complete this process by early 2021 KG-D6 could be restarted towards the end of the year to provide India with natural gas, which is one of the cleanest fossil fuels British Petroleum has invested into the company’s existing fuel retailing business under a new brand of Jio-bp. Jio-bp will provide new age mobility solutions to Indian consumers View: Out of 6 companies in FAMNGA (Facebook/Apple/Microsoft/Netflix/Google/Amazon), 3 have already partnered with Jio Platforms. Google appears to be a big contributor along with Microsoft and Facebook. We expect that Microsoft may join in as financial investors at a later date. These strategic partnership indicate a big rollout of various projects in time to come. Readiness with “Make in India” and immediate rollout of 5G services on availability of spectrum, along with exporting 5G technology appears to be key triggers. Jio platform is expected to grow at CAGR of 30% over the next decade. Jio could be INR 10 lakh crore market cap contributor in RIL in next 18-24 months. Reliance Retail is being shaped into O2O model – off-line to on-line company. Retail will have strategic and financial partners in next few decades. This is extremely promising. Retail could be INR 5 lakh crore market cap in RIL in next 18 months. In O2C business – 15-year roadmap is laid down to be free from Hydro-Carbon to Green Company, using alternate fuels. Converting Co2 into high value-added products like Protein, capsules and petrochemicals is efficient use of technology to include value added products in portfolio. This is a move in line with time to suggest that O2C will no longer be a commodity business. It continues to remain positive cash generator. Saudi Aramco deal seem to be uncertain, however commitment to bring other strategic and financial investors sounds reassuring. O2C could be INR 7.50 lakh crore market cap contributor in RIL. RIL is likely to be INR 20-22 lakh market cap company in 1.5 to 2 years. This will be 100% growth in market capitalization in about 2 years.
