Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries and his younger brother Anil’s Reliance Power have held initial talks to jointly develop their adjoining coal-bed methane (CBM) blocks, giving the estranged brothers another opportunity to join forces apart from the potential handshake in the telecom sector.

What to expect from Ambani brothers in 2012

December 29, 2011 · Filed Under Ambani Family · Comment 

As Ambani brothers dance to the tune of garba music, many Reliance Industries and Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group investors would have started to build high expectations from the new year.

On Tuesday, when trading began, the BSE Sensex stayed flat. Reliance Communications shares jumped 5 per cent. No other Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group company share rose so much. Over the past one week, Reliance Communication shares have surged 17 per cent. The BSE Sensex rose 3.3 per cent during the same period.

The trading pattern of the day and the week indicates that the street has already begun to build that anticipation. They expect something to emerge out of the family get-together at Chorwad, Gujarat, the native place of the late Dhirubhai Ambani.

SC advised Ambanis to settle gas dispute

December 4, 2009 · Filed Under Reliance Industries · Comment 

Pulling it out of the realm of speculation, the Centre on Thursday was categoric before the Supreme Court that it had repeatedly advised warring Ambani brothers — Mukesh and Anil — to bury the hatchet and arrive at an amicable settlement over supply of gas.

It is a battle between them and we have told them time and again to resolve the issues. After all, they are captains of industry, said solicitor general Gopal Subramaniam after clarifying that notwithstanding the outcome of NTPC’s suit in Bombay High Court for supply of gas from RIL at cheap rates, the Centre would do everything to protect the PSU’s interests.

November 19, 2009 · Filed Under Reliance Industries · 1 Comment 

Implementing the Ambani family agreement on gas supply by RIL to RNRL could cost the country Rs 1 lakh crore, said the Centre on Wednesday ducking the SC’s uncomfortable questions about its docile role before the Bombay HC and braving RNRL’s cross-examination threat.

Additional solicitor general Vivek Tankha reeled out statistics to show that giving effect to the private agreement overriding the production sharing contract (PSC) outlining the government’s public policy would cause a loss of Rs 25,000 crore to the government apart from rendering idle industrial infrastructure worth Rs 75,000 crore.
