PremiumReliance Industries Ltd's (RIL) 45th annual general meeting (AGM) touched upon the company’s ambitious plans across business verticals, particularly the ensuing 5G launch, foray into the FMCG space, and new energy investments.

Reliance Jio laid out ₹2 tn investment plan on 5G with pan-India roll-out by December 2023 while Retail announced entry into fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) business.

“We incorporate the higher capex and earnings upside from Jio and O2C. We increase our capex est for FY23/24/25E to Rs1.59/1.55/1.59 tn respectively, to factor in higher capex in Jio, conventional O2C and New Energy businesses. We also build in US$9bn valn of the O2C capex and higher subs in the home broadband segment," said global brokerage Jefferies. It has maintained its Buy rating on Reliance Industries shares with target price of ₹2,980.
Retail, Telecom, and new energy can be the next growth engines over the next two-to-three years, given the large technological advancements and ambitious growth targets. However, the same can dent its existing single-digit return ratios in the near term, as per Motilal Oswal.
“We expect consolidated revenue/EBITDA to clock 13%/15% CAGR over FY22-24, which does not factor any incremental growth from 5G capex, new energy, and other segments. Retail, Telecom, and new energy can be the next growth engines over the next two-to-three years, given the large technological advancements and ambitious growth targets. However, the same can dent its existing single-digit return ratios in the near term," the note stated. It has reiterated its Buy rating with a target price of ₹2,880.
