has to face many difficulties

Reliance Industries is facing many difficulties. There is pressure on the margins of the company’s oil-gas and petrochemical business. Operation of the new energy business, where a large portion of the capital expenditure is incurred, is behind schedule. Moreover, the revenue per user (ARPU) of the telecom business is growing slower than expected due to competition and SIM consolidation. However, the full impact of the tariff increase is yet to be seen.

Restructuring and consolidation of retail business is being done by RIL. This has led to delays in unlocking value for shareholders. Additionally, cash flows from capital expenditure incurred over the past few years were expected to be lower than expected due to global headwinds and margins. For this reason the company may need a loan for future capital expenditure.
