Reliance Group-Backed & Anil Ambani’s debt-free companies: RPOWER & RELINFRA to raise Rs 18,000 crore for defence, aerospace and renewable energy growth initiatives!

More than 100 senior leaders from Reliance Infrastructure and Reliance Power convened in Mumbai on July 27, 2025, for a pivotal leadership meet. This gathering aimed to solidify the Group's future transformation, reaffirming its dedication to growth, innovation and shareholder value. This unified resolve followed the recent unanimous board approval to raise Rs 18,000 crore through equity and debt, earmarked for expansion in the Defence & Aerospace and Renewable Energy sectors. The Reliance Group, comprising two publicly listed entities, Reliance Infrastructure and Reliance Power, stands nearly debt-free with net worths of Rs 14,883 crore and Rs 16,431 crore respectively, boasting one of India's largest shareholder families with 50 lakh public shareholders.

Reliance Infrastructure's future strategy is anchored in high-growth verticals, prominently featuring Defence and Aerospace. This includes plans to manufacture Falcon 2000 business executive jets in India through a partnership with Dassault Aviation, alongside establishing an MRO and overhaul hub in Maharashtra with US-based Coastal Mechanics. Strategic alliances with Germany's Rheinmetall AG and Diehl Defence further bolster their capabilities in defence manufacturing and guided munitions, with an ambitious goal to become one of India's top three defence exporters, strongly supporting the 'Make in India' and 'Atmanirbhar' initiatives. Additionally, Reliance Infrastructure focuses on power distribution through BSES in Delhi, serving over 53 lakh households with a commitment to smart, sustainable power delivery and transitioning to clean, green energy sourcing within the next five years, alongside venturing into Renewable Energy Manufacturing for solar and battery storage.

Reliance Power, on the other hand, is concentrating on its robust operating portfolio of approximately 5.3 GW. The company has secured significant renewable energy projects, totalling around 3.3 GWh in Solar and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects, notably including what is described as Asia’s largest solar-plus-storage project. This strategic focus positions Reliance Power to be a key player in India's burgeoning clean energy landscape.
