Ambani stepped down as chairman of Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd in June, making way for his eldest son Akash, who took charge of India’s largest wireless operator. As rumors about Ambani’s health continue to swirl, investors will be looking to take more concrete steps in the leadership change, with Isha, Anant and possibly his wife Nita taking on more responsibility.

5G Rollout

Reliance Jio Infocomm bought airwaves worth over $11 billion in a local spectrum auction as it sought to consolidate its lead over smaller rivals – Bharti Airtel Ltd and Vodafone Idea Ltd – in a rapid rollout of 5G networks. This will be important for increasing revenue and enticing high-value users.

The $76 billion pivot towards green energy is the biggest change Ambani is currently making. It is a difficult transition given the group’s roots in petrochemicals and crude oil refining and the continued out-sized contribution of fossil fuel-led businesses to Reliance’s annual revenue.

Investors will be looking for updates about last year’s announced plans to build four giga-factories to make solar modules, hydrogen electrolysers, fuel cells and storage batteries. Ambani has also failed to get small green energy firms globally for the expertise and technology. There are also plans to be among the world’s top blue hydrogen manufacturers.

going global

Ambani had emphasized his vision for “internationalization of Reliance” in his speech last year.

Over the past year, Reliance has turned to big overseas deals, such as a possible takeover of British drugstore chain Boots, which never materialised. Investors will want to see if the appetite for global acquisitions still exists amid a slowing economy across the globe.
