size, integration, and financial strength and flexibility to pursue future

environment.

The merger has led to a 32% increase in RIL’s equity from Rs. 1,054
crores to Rs. 1,396 crores. Under the terms of the merger, shares of
RPL  held  by  RIL,  representing  28%  of  RPL’s  equity  share  capital,
have been cancelled.

IPCL, and its shareholders, workers and employees, will benefit from
Reliance’s  proven  vision  and  management  strengths,  established
project  execution  capabilities,  and  demonstrated  track  record  of
consistent operational and financial performance.

RIL shares, against the holding of RPL shares by Reliance Industrial
Investments  and  Holdings  Ltd.  (RIIHL),  a  100%  subsidiary  of  RIL,
constituting 7.5% of the fully diluted equity share capital of RIL, with
a  value  of  over  Rs.  3,100  crores  (US$  645  million),  will  be  directly
issued and allotted to a Trust, to be held for the benefit of RIIHL.

RPL shares held by other RIL associates, representing 14% of RPL’s
equity share capital, will be exchanged into RIL shares, constituting
4.7% of the fully diluted equity share capital of RIL, with a value of
nearly Rs. 2,000 crores (US$ 405 million).

RIL  will  endeavour  to  monetise  this  aggregate  economic  value  of
over Rs. 5,100 crores (over US$ 1 billion), at an appropriate time in
the future, to strategic and/ or financial investors, in the endeavour to
maximize overall shareholder value.

This aggregate RIL shareholding may also be leveraged to pursue
significant  acquisition  and  other  growth  opportunities  in  domestic
and international markets, with all economic benefits flowing to RIL’s
shareholders. The pursuit of all these opportunities will be guided by
the  Reliance  group’s  overall  financial  conservatism  and  discipline,
and  with  the  consistent  objective  of  maintaining  top  end  credit
ratings.

Acquisition of IPCL

Subsequent to the close of the year under review, Reliance has, in
another  major  strategic  move,  acquired  Indian  Petrochemicals
Corporation Ltd. (IPCL), a leading public sector company, enjoying
“Navratna” status, and a public sector pioneer in the petrochemicals
business in India.

IPCL  is  India’s  second  largest  petrochemicals  company,  and  is
amongst India’s top 25 companies, in terms of its sales of Rs. 5,527
crores (US$ 1.1 billion).

Reliance  acquired  a  26%  equity  stake  in  IPCL,  held  by  the
Government  of  India,  through  an  open  and  transparent  process  of
global competitive bidding.

Subsequently,  as  required  under  prevailing  regulations,  Reliance
acquired a further 20% equity stake in IPCL through an open offer to
the public, thereby increasing its equity stake in the company to 46%.

Reliance’s successful bid of Rs. 1,491 crores (US$ 303 million) at Rs.
231 per share for acquiring the government’s 26% stake represented
the highest public sector unit disinvestment proceeds received by the
Government of India in a single transaction.

Reliance’s  total  investment  for  the  IPCL  acquisition  is  Rs.  2,638
crores,  including  the  proceeds  paid  under  the  open  offer  to  the
public.

This  investment  demonstrates  Reliance’s  confidence  in  future
prospects  of  the  Indian  economy,  and  the  petrochemicals  industry.
India’s per capita consumption of polymers is amongst the lowest in
the world, and Reliance sees tremendous future growth potential in
this business.

Reliance’s acquisition  of  IPCL  is  in  line  with  international  trends  of
industry consolidation, to enable both companies to enhance scale,

IPCL  will  significantly  benefit  from  Reliance’s  financial  engineering
skills, its ability to access capital at the most competitive terms, and
to optimise financial costs.

IPCL will be in a position to leverage Reliance’s proven capabilities
of  achieving  optimal  plant  capacity  utilisation,  through  operational
efficiencies, and low cost de-bottlenecking of capacities.

IPCL  will  also  enjoy  the  full  benefits  of  Reliance’s  strong
relationships  with  customers,  technology  and  equipment  suppliers,
and other constituents, in the domestic and international markets.

The  benefits  of  the  change  in  management  control  have  already
become visible in IPCL’s performance in the first few months after the
acquisition.

Production  has  increased  significantly,  and  steps  are  also  already
underway to improve yield by optimising process conditions, and by
increasing  uptime  of  manufacturing  plants,  thereby  further
contributing to higher productivity.

Net sales realisation for all major products have increased as a result
of  Reliance’s  initiatives  for  strengthening  customer  relationships.
This has contributed to improvement in operating margins.

As  Reliance  and  IPCL  serve  the  same  customer  base,  both  in
domestic  and  export  markets,  a  detailed  programme  is  already
underway,  for  integrating  operations  at  various  marketing  offices
across the country, as well as up country warehouses.

A detailed exercise covering three manufacturing sites of IPCL, and
two  manufacturing  sites  of  Reliance,  encompassing  eighteen
manufacturing plants, is also under implementation. The benefits of
this programme are expected to be available in the future, and will
lead to additional contribution.

IPCL’s  IT  facilities  and  MIS  are  being  recast  in  line  with  RIL’s
standards, and the entire company is expected to be SAP enabled
shortly, with attendant benefits of enhanced efficiency at all levels.

IPCL’s  acquisition  will  further  Reliance’s  goal  of  attaining  global
leadership amongst the industry peer group in terms of asset base,
revenues,  profitability,  production  volumes,  market  share,  and
enhancement of overall shareholder value.

Continued leadership as India’s No. 1 business group

The  merger  of  RPL  with  RIL,  and  the  IPCL  acquisition,  have
strengthened  Reliance’s  position  as  the  largest  business  group  in
India, on all major financial parameters, including sales, profits, net
worth, and assets.

Contribution to Indian economy

Reliance’s  leadership  position  in  India,  is  reflected  in  its  all  round
contribution to the national economy.

Reliance  contributes:
(cid:1) 3% of India’s GDP
(cid:1) 5% of India’s total exports
(cid:1) 9% of Indian government’s indirect tax revenues

Export performance (including deemed exports)

RIL sold 20% of its production for exports markets during the year
under  review.  RIL’s  exports  were  US$  2,295  million  (Rs.  11,200
crores) during the year, ranking RIL as India’s largest exporter.

Leadership rankings in all major businesses

RIL enjoys global leadership rankings in all its major businesses.

RIL’s  27  million  tonne  refinery  at  Jamnagar  in  Gujarat,  India  is  the
world’s largest grassroots refinery, and the 5th largest refinery at any
single location. Production from the refinery accounts for almost 25%
of India’s total production of petroleum products.

Subsequent  to  the  close  of  the  year  under  review  ,  RIL  has  also
received approvals from the Government of India for setting up over
5,800  retail  outlets  in  the  country  for  marketing  of  transportation
fuels, diesel and gasoline.

RIL continues to be ranked amongst the top 10 producers globally, in
all  its  major  petrochemicals  products.  Reliance  is  the  2nd  largest
producer  of  POY  and  PSF,  the  3rd  largest  producer  of  paraxylene
(PX), the 4th largest producer of PTA, and the 7th largest producer of
polypropylene  (PP)  in  the  world.  Within  the  country,  RIL  enjoys
leading market shares in all these businesses.

Reliance’s  integrated  refining,  petrochemicals,  power  and  port
complex  at  Jamnagar,  Gujarat,  set  up  at  a  capital  outlay  of  Rs.
25,000  crores  (US$  6  billion),  represents  the  single  largest
investment  ever  made  by  the  private  sector  in  India  at  a  single
location.

RIL  is  now  making  investments  in  the  upstream  segment  of  the
energy business. RIL is already India’s largest private sector player
in E&P (exploration and production of oil and gas), with over 177,000
sq.  kms.  of  awarded  exploration  acreage,  in  26  offshore  and
onshore, deep and shallow water blocks, including one in Yemen.

RIL’s  refinery  processed  28.96  million  tonnes  of  crude  during  the
year, as against 25.70 million tonnes during the previous year.

RIL’s  total  production  volume  of  petrochemicals,  including  toll
conversion,  touched  11.5  million  tonnes,  an  increase  of  11%
compared to the corresponding previous year.

RIL’s  Oil  and  Gas  production  was  411,000  tonnes  and  666,500
tonnes respectively.

Rs. 11,200 crores (US$ 2,295 million), from Rs. 9,370 crores (US$
2,010 million).

RIL’s  operating  profit,  before  other  income,  increased  to  Rs.  7,876
crores (US$ 1,614 million) during the year, compared to Rs. 5,179
crores (US$ 1,111 million).

RIL’s operating margin for the year stood at 13.8%, reflecting the impact
of the merger of RPL’s refining business with RIL.

The operating margin factors in gains from increased volumes, lower
feedstock costs for petrochemicals, partially offset by lower product
prices, gains from productivity, cost control and efficiencies, a higher
degree  of  integration  and  value  addition,  rationalisation  of  duties,
and the impact of rupee depreciation.

Other income for the year stood at Rs. 782 crores (US$ 160 million),
largely reflecting interest and dividend income.

Interest  expense  increased  to  Rs.  1,825  crores  (US$  374  million),
and  depreciation  increased  to  Rs.  2,816  crores  (US$  577  million),
reflecting the impact of the merger of RPL with RIL.

RIL’s corporate Income tax liability for the year was Rs. 190 crores
(US$  39  million),  which  was  limited  to  the  impact  of  the  Minimum
Alternative Tax (MAT).

Operating environment and performance

Cash profits increased to Rs. 6,643 crores (US$ 1,361 million).

The  year  under  review  was  characterised  by  uneven  demand
conditions,  increased  volatility  in  feedstock  prices,  and  sharp
declines  in  product  selling  prices,  as  a  result  of  global  capacity
additions.

The  terrorist  attacks  in  the  US  on  September  11,  2001  had  a
significant  adverse  impact  on  global  economic  growth,  creating
further pressures on the demand supply balance for the energy and
petrochemicals  industry.

Reliance’s ability to maintain its cash flows and profits in this difficult
environment  reflects  the  global  competitiveness  of  its  operations,
leadership  in  domestic  markets,  and  a  healthy  presence  in  export
markets.

There was a deferred tax liability of Rs. 996 crores (US$ 204 million)
for the year, primarily in relation to the depreciation on assets of the
refining business that may now be availed by RIL.

Net  profit  for  the  year  increased  to  Rs.  3,243  crores  (US$  665
million).

The  profit  for  the  year  would  have  been  higher  by  Rs.  238  crores
(US$  49  million),  had  there  been  no  change  in  the  method  of
providing  depreciation.

RIL’s  paid  up  equity  share  capital  will  increase  to  Rs.  1,396  crores
(US$ 286 million) (including shares to be allotted to shareholders of
erstwhile RPL) as a result of the merger of RPL with RIL.

Earnings  Per  Share  (EPS)  were  Rs.  23.4  (US$  0.48)  and  Cash
Earnings Per Share (CEPS) were Rs. 50.80 (US$ 1.04).

A dividend of 47.5% has been proposed, subject to the approval of
shareholders.  The  dividend  pay  out  of  Rs.  663  crores  (US$  136
million) for the year. The company has been consistently increasing
dividends for the past 10 years.

Capital expenditure during the year was Rs. 1,474 crores (US$ 302
million), primarily as normal capital expenditure.

Total  assets  increased  during  the  year  to  Rs.  56,485  crores  (US$
11,575 million).

RIL contributed a total of Rs. 10,470 crores (US$ 2145 million) to the
national exchequer in the form of various taxes.

The  company’s  operations  have  helped  the  nation  save  precious
foreign exchange to the tune of Rs. 20,169 crores (US$ 4,133 million).

Resources & Liquidity

Reliance continues to maintain its conservative financial profile, as
reflected in both, its domestic and international ratings.

During  the  year,  RIL’s  existing  credit  ratings  were  reaffirmed  as
unchanged by the rating agencies, subsequent to the merger of RPL
with RIL.

The ratings for RIL’s long term debt were reaffirmed at “AAA” from
CRISIL,  the  highest  rating  awarded  by  the  agency.  FITCH  Ratings
India  also  affirmed  its  “Ind  AAA”  debt  rating  for  the  company,
indicating the highest credit quality.

RIL’s  international  debt  carries  ratings  of  “BB”  (negative  outlook)
from  S&P,  and  Ba2  from  Moody’s,  the  latter  constrained  by  the
sovereign ceiling.

Reliance’s gross debt equity ratio, including long term and short term
debt  as  on  March  31,  2002,  is  a  conservative  0.64,  despite  the
increase in total assets to Rs. 56,485 crores (US$ 11,575 million).

Reliance’s equity share capital, following the merger of RPL with the
company, stood at Rs. 1,396 crores (US$ 286 million). Reserves and
Surplus as on March 31, 2002 aggregated to Rs. 26,417 crores (US$
5,413 million).

The company’s long term debt as on March 31, 2002 stood at Rs.
18,210  crores  (US$  3,732  million).  Of  this  debt,  50%  represented
foreign currency denominated debt.

RIL’s  exports,  and  foreign  exchange  denominated  oil  and  gas
revenues, provide a more than 20 times cover for its annual interest
obligations on foreign currency denominated debt.

Reliance  funds  its  long  term  and  project  related  financing
requirements from a combination of internally generated cash flows
and external sources.

Reliance had issued over US$ 1.3 billion (Rs. 6,000 crores) of debt
securities  in  the  international  capital  markets  since  1995,  with
maturities ranging from 7 years to 100 years.

Reliance bought back a total of US$ 253 million (Rs. 1,225 crores) of
its  offshore  bonds  during  the  year. These  were  refinanced  partly
through export proceeds and partly through a syndicated term loan
facility of US$ 105 million raised in Japanese Yen, thereby achieving
substantial cost savings.

Reliance  has,  in  aggregate,  bought  back  and  cancelled  US$  450
million (Rs. 2,182 crores) of its bonds to date, which is about 39% of
the total issued amount.

During  the  year,  the  company  raised  the  largest  ever  syndicated
foreign currency term loan facility from India for US$ 750 million (Rs.
3,583  crores),  setting  new  benchmarks  in  pricing,  and  reflecting
Reliance’s financial strengths. The deal was named as “The Capital
Market  Deal  of  the Year”  by  IFR  Asia,  a  leading  international
publication.

The average maturity of RIL’s total long term debt is nearly 8 years.
The average final maturity of the company’s foreign exchange debt
included therein is 11.5 years.

Reliance  continued  to  demonstrate  its  financial  flexibility  and
innovativeness  to  take  advantage  of  the  declining  interest  rate
environment in the country.

During  the  year,  Reliance  successfully  refinanced  loans  by  issuing
debt  paper  in  the  domestic  market  for  Rs.  1,410  crores  (US$  288
million).

Reliance  meets  its  working  capital  requirements  through
commercial  rupee  credit  lines  provided  by  a  consortium  of  Indian
and foreign banks. The credit lines are fixed annually and renewed
on a quarterly basis.

In addition, Reliance issues short term debt in the form of fixed and
floating rate bonds in Indian Rupees and also avails FCNR B loans in
foreign currency.

Reliance’s short-term debt programme is rated P1+ by CRISIL, the highest
credit rating that may be assigned to this category of instruments.

Reliance availed short-term finance largely by way of export finance,
at  concessional  and  extremely  competitive  rates  of  interest  from
banks,  during  the  current  year,  taking  advantage  of  its  substantial
export revenues.

The combination of the above has enabled Reliance to significantly
reduce the average cost of its short-term debt.

Reliance  also  undertakes  liability  management  transactions  and
other  structured  derivatives,  such  as  interest  rate  swaps  and
currency  swaps,  on  an  ongoing  basis,  to  reduce  its  overall  cost  of
debt and diversify its liability mix.

RIL’s cash flows, at current year’s levels, for less than 3 years, are
adequate to extinguish its entire debt, reflecting its inherent financial
strength and conservatism.

Business Review

Oil and Gas

India’s  consumption  of  crude  oil  is  2.2  million  barrels  per  day,
equivalent to 105 million tonnes per year. The country produces just
about 32% of this requirement, and imports the balance 1.5 million
barrels  per  day,  or  72  million  tonnes  per  year,  of  crude  oil.
Consumption  of  natural  gas  in  India  is  presently  68.5  million
standard cubic meter per day (MMSCMD), or 883 billion cubic feet
per year.

The  oil  and  gas  industry  in  the  country  is  presently  dominated  by
public sector companies.

RIL’s oil and gas strategy is aimed at further enhancing the level of
vertical  integration  in  its  energy  business,  and  capturing  value
across  the  entire  energy  chain,  while  fulfilling  important  national
priorities, in an attractive tax and fiscal regime.

RIL  holds  a  30%  interest  in  an  unincorporated  Joint Venture  with
British  Gas  and  ONGC,  to  develop  the  proven  Panna-Mukta  and

Tapti oil & gas fields. British Gas has a 30% share and ONGC the
balance 40% share.

Oil  and  gas  production  from  the  Panna-Mukta  and  Tapti  fields  is
presently  being  sold  to  Indian  Oil  Corporation  Ltd.  (IOC)  and  Gas
Authority of India Ltd. (GAIL), as nominees of the Government, under
the Production Sharing Agreements signed with the Government.

The  Panna  and  Mukta  fields  are  currently  producing  about  30,000
barrels per day of crude oil, and around 2.8 MMSCMD of gas.

The Tapti field produced around 70 billion cubic feet of gas during the
year. The field is currently producing around 5.7 MMSCMD of gas.

RIL is now the country’s largest private sector E&P (Exploration and
Production)  player,  with  over  177,000  sq.  kms.  of  awarded
exploration acreage, in 26 offshore and onshore, deep and shallow
water blocks, including one in Yemen.

12  exploration  blocks  were  awarded  through  a  process  of
competitive  international  bidding  under  the  first  round  of  the  New
Exploration Licensing Policy (NELP-I). Another 4 exploration blocks
were awarded by the Government in the second round i.e. NELP II.
The  Production  Sharing  Contracts  with  the  Government  have
already been signed for all these blocks. A 10% interest in these 16
blocks is held by external partners.

Reliance  has  acquired  operatorship  in  3  exploration  blocks  from
Tullow of UK and is in an advanced stage of acquiring operatorship
of 2 more blocks from Tullow. Reliance has also acquired interest in
an exploration block in Yemen during the year.

After the close of the year under review, Reliance has participated in
the third round of NELP, and bid for 15 blocks.

The  Oil  and  Gas  division  presently  contributes  about  1%  of  RIL’s
gross  turnover.  Reliance  sees  considerable  potential  in  the  E&P
business,  and  expects  the  share  of  oil  and  gas  revenues  to
consistently increase in the future in its overall business portfolio.

Overall  domestic  consumption  for  petroleum  products  remained
virtually flat, with marginal negative growth of about 1.5% in the year
ended  March  31,  2002.  Consumption  of  HSD  dropped  by  about
3.4% and that of Kerosene dropped by about 7.9%. LPG recorded a
growth of about 10% and gasoline consumption grew by about  6.2%.

During  the  year  ended  March  31,  2002,  Reliance’s  refinery‘s
capacity utilisation was at a record level of 107%. This is in contrast
to the capacity utilisation rates of refineries in other regions - 89% for
North America, 87% for Europe and 85% for Asia Pacific region.

The refinery’s high operating rates are the result of its several unique
capabilities,  including  the  ability  to  optimise  crude  oil  and  product
mix on a dynamic basis, the international quality of its products, and
its access to fully integrated logistics, enabling seamless evacuation
of  products  by  sea,  rail,  road  and  pipeline,  to  domestic  and
international markets.

About  57%  of  the  refinery’s  production  was  sold  in  the  domestic
markets (excluding captive consumption), of which 86% was sold to
the  public  sector  oil  companies,  under  the  Administered  Price
Mechanism (APM) which was in force till March 31, 2002.

Captive  consumption  of  products  by  RIL  accounted  for  12%  of
production, while the balance 31% was exported across the globe,
including to the most quality conscious and discerning markets, such
as the Far East, Europe, the US, and South America.

The Government of India has subsequently dismantled the APM in
the hydrocarbon sector with effect from April 1, 2002. As a result, the
marketing of erstwhile ‘controlled products’ has been opened up to
the  private  sector,  and  pricing  of  petroleum  products  has  become
market determined.

RIL  has  already  obtained  marketing  rights  for  sale  of  ATF  in  the
domestic market, and has also been granted approvals for setting up
over  5,800  retail  outlets  for  retail  marketing  of  transportation  fuels,
namely, diesel and gasoline.

Reliance  has  deployed  state-of-the-art  technology  and  is  working
with  leading  international  technology  and  service  providers  for  the
E&P  project,  covering  all  activities,  such  as  seismic  studies,
processing and interpretation of data, and drilling.

For the period of two years from April 1, 2002, RIL has concluded
product  off-take  agreements  with  the  three  public  sector  oil
companies,  namely,  IOC,  HPCL  and  BPCL,  for  nearly  13  million
tonnes per year of LPG, MS, SKO and HSD.

Reliance  has  commenced  exploratory  activities,  and  has  already
acquired more than 11,500 line kilometers of 2-D and 6,500 square
kilometers  of  3-D  seismic  data.  Evaluation  of  data,  and  further
development work is currently in progress.

In the medium to longer term, RIL proposes to enter retail marketing
of  transportation  fuels,  enabling  it  to  deliver  a  complete  value
proposition  to  customers,  achieve  downstream  integration  and
enhance overall return on capital.

Refining and Marketing

RIL’s  refinery  at  Jamnagar,  with  capacity  of  27  million  tonnes  per
annum, is the world’s largest grassroots refinery, and the 5th largest
refinery in the world at any single location.

RIL’s  refinery  is  the  first  and  the  only  refinery  to  be  set  up  in  the
private sector in India, pursuant to oil sector reforms. RIL’s refinery
accounts for almost 25% of total production of petroleum products in
the country.

The  Indian  refining  and  marketing  industry  is  dominated  by  public
sector oil companies, Reliance being the only private sector company.

The total capacity of these refineries is around 116 million tonnes per
annum, as per latest published industry data.

During  the  year,  the  Expert  Committee  on  Auto  Fuel  Policy  has
submitted  its  report,  mooting  the  introduction  of  Bharat  Stage  II
norms (equivalent to Euro II norms) in the entire country from April
2005. The  Committee  has  also  recommended  Euro  III  equivalent
emission  norms  for  all  categories  of  vehicles  (excluding  two  and
three  wheelers)  to  be  introduced  in  seven  mega  cities  from  April
2005, and to be extended to other parts of the country from 2010.

The  committee  expects  the  Indian  refiners  to  spend  Rs.  17,000
crores  to  meet  emission  norms  by  2005,  and  another  Rs.  18,000
crores  to  meet  the  2010  specifications.  Reliance’s  refinery  already
meets the Bharat II specifications, and will be able to meet Euro III
equivalent  specifications  with  nominal  investments.  Reliance’s
competitive advantage will thus further improve significantly, with more
stringent product specifications becoming introduced in the country.

India is amongst the fastest growing polymer markets in the world,
and is expected to become the world’s third largest polymer market
after the US and China by the end of this decade.

Current polymers consumption of 3.4 million tonnes in the country is
expected  to  treble  during  this  decade,  owing  to  the  huge  latent
demand  potential.  Reliance  intends  to  increase  production  at  its
existing  plants,  and  set  up  new  plants  at  an  appropriate  time,  to
capitalise  on  these  future  growth  opportunities  in  the  Indian  and
Asian polymer markets.

Strong  resurgence  in  demand  after  the  weak  conditions  in  2001,
resulted in overall demand growth of 16% for polymers (PP, PE, and
PVC) during the year. This double digit growth rate is expected to be
maintained  in  the  future,  as  demand  for  packaging  picks  up  with
revival of economic growth.

During  the  year,  to  strengthen  its  presence  in  fast  growing  export
markets, Reliance has opened offices in China, UAE, and Vietnam.
Two  more  offices  are  proposed  to  be  opened  shortly  in  Indonesia
and Turkey.

PVC

Reliance is the 7th largest PP producer in the world with an installed
capacity  of  1  million  tonnes  per  year.  During  the  year,  Reliance
produced  several  import  substitution  grades  of  PP,  which  have
successfully replaced imports.

Reliance  is  continuously  focussing  on  production  of  value  added
premium grades of PE. As a part of this exercise, PE ducts and PE
pipe  coating  compounds  made  from  Reliance  polyethylene  are
being  sold  in  India  and  abroad.  Efforts  are  also  on  to  produce
premium grades using octene co-monomer.

After strong 21% sales growth in PVC industry, domestic demand for
PVC  now  matches  local  availability. The  EDC  plant  commissioning
during the year is another step in backward integration. Efforts are on
to  optimise  PVC  production  through  better  grade  planning  and
import of VCM.

Polyester (PFY, PSF and PET)

Reliance is the world’s second largest polyester manufacturer (fibre
and yarn). During the year, Reliance further consolidated its position
in the polyester business, on the strength of its integrated operations,
economies of scale, and diversified product range.

Demand  for  PFY,  PSF  and  PET  in  the  country  crossed  1.3  million
tonnes during the year, reflecting growth of 5%, despite the impact of
the global slowdown. Reliance is the country’s largest manufacturer
of these products, having a market share of 54%. The industry has a
fragmented structure, with a large number of players operating with
relatively small capacities.

Reliance’s  polyester  production  volumes  increased  12%  during
the  year  to  812,000  tonnes,  which  was  higher  than  the  industry
growth rates.

Speciality grades accounted for 58% of PSF production, while 29%
of  PFY  production  represented  niche  products,  contributing  a
premium of 5% to 25% over commodity prices.

During the year, Reliance launched a new speciality product, Recron
–3S,  for  the  benefit  of  the  asbestos  and  construction  industry.
Reliance is the only domestic manufacturer of this product, which is
used as a reinforcement agent.

During  the  year,  Reliance  entered  into  a  strategic  alliance  with
DuPont  for  exclusive  distribution  of  Lycra®  -  the  most  widely  used
stretch fibre and a registered trademark of DuPont.

The  Reliance-DuPont  alliance  will  benefit  users  of  Lycra®,  and
Indian  consumers,  who  will  get  world-class  garments  hitherto
available only abroad. This alliance will also enable Indian textile and
garment  manufacturers  to  link  up,  through  DuPont,  with  overseas
distribution  and  marketing  networks.  This  will  go  a  long  way  in
building India’s exports of branded high value products.

During  the  year,  Reliance  announced  expansion  of  PET  capacity
from 80,000 tonnes per year to 300,000 tonnes per year, through the
building  of  the  world’s  first  plant  based  on  DuPont’s  revolutionary
NG-3 technology.

This  new  world-scale  plant  will  be  located  alongside  the  existing
facility  at  Hazira.  This  will  make  Reliance  the  fourth  largest
manufacturer of PET bottle resin at a single location anywhere in the
world. End uses of PET include packaging for branded carbonated
soft  drinks  and  bottled  drinking  water,  the  demand  for  which  is
growing world-wide at an exponential rate.

A  major  restructuring  exercise  of  shifting  high  cost  operations  in
Thane and Naroda to more cost-effective locations was undertaken
during the year, to achieve cost reduction and enhance productivity.

As  par t  of  the  continuous  effor ts  to  deliver  better  value  to
customers, Reliance has opened Fast Delivery Centres at strategic
locations,  which  have  extensive  downstream  textile  units.  These
centres  will  help  the  company  to  cater  to  customer  needs  in  the
shortest possible time.

In  an  effort  to  enhance  quality  consciousness  in  the  downstream
textile  industry  in  general,  Reliance  has  commissioned  a  state-of-

Polyester Intermediates (PX, PTA and MEG)

RIL is the world’s 3rd largest producer of Paraxylene (PX), and the
world’s 4th largest producer of PTA.

Within the country, RIL continues to be the largest manufacturer of
PX,  PTA  and  MEG,  with  market  share  of  80%.  RIL  is  the  only
producer of PX, while there are 2 PTA and 4 MEG producers in India.

Reliance’s  production  volumes  of  PX,  PTA  and  MEG  increased  to
2.88 million tonnes during the year under review.

industrial users for use as fuel and to private bottlers.

The customer base of ‘Reliance Gas’ has grown to 7.95 lakhs in the
states of Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan and in Western Madhya
Pradesh.  Nearly  60%  of  the  customers  are  in  villages  with  a
population  of  less  than  5,000.  A  well  entrenched  and  strategically
located  network  of  122  distributors  and  5,400  distribution  outlets
services these customers.

RIL  is  the  country’s  largest  producer  and  exporter  of  linear  alkyl
benzene (LAB), a leading surfactant ingredient in the manufacture of
detergents. Reliance has also established a significant presence in
the overseas markets of South East Asia, Middle East, Europe and
Africa.  Economies  of  scale,  backward  integration  and  proximity  to
the markets make Reliance the most competitive producer of LAB in
the country.

Reliance  accounts  for  40%  of  the  domestic  Normal  Paraffin
production.  In  addition  to  meeting  captive  requirements  for  the
production  of  LAB,  a  well  differentiated  product  range  in  Normal
Paraffin  enables  Reliance  to  cater  to  the  diverse  requirements  of
domestic  manufacturers  of  Chlorinated  Paraffin  Wax,  a  plasticiser
used in PVC compounding.

Production of ethylene and propylene was captively consumed to the
extent of 97%.

Production  of  benzene,  toluene  and  other  by-products  was
consistent  with  feedstock  characteristics. The  aromatics  production
was  enhanced  by  controlled  processing  of  indigenous,  aromatics
rich naphtha.

Reliance maintained its leadership in the domestic benzene market
with a share of over 45%. During the year, Reliance exported nearly
25%  of  its  benzene  production  to  styrene  manufacturers  in  South
East  Asia,  Europe,  and  the  US,  reflecting  the  primacy  and  high
international acceptability of its product.

Reliance  produces  premium  grade  toluene  at  Hazira,  suitable  for
producing toluene di-isocyanate, benzoic acid and chloro toluenes.
Reliance  has  replaced  orthoxylene  imports  to  a  large  extent  and
commands nearly 77% share of the domestic orthoxylene market.

Textiles

Reliance’s textiles complex at Naroda, Gujarat, is one of the India’s
largest  and  most  modern  textile  complexes.  Reliance’s  textile
products  are  sold  under  the  brand  names  of  Vimal,  Harmony,
Reance, RueRel, and Slumberel. Vimal, Reliance’s flagship brand, is
one of the India’s largest selling brand of premium textiles.

Reliance’s premium product quality ensures a ready export market
for  its  textile  products,  which  have  found  acceptance  even  in  the
most  discerning  markets  of  the  developed  world.  The  Textile
Division’s  in-house  R&D  continuously  develops  new  products/
processes.

To enhance competitiveness, Reliance undertook a comprehensive
restructuring of its textiles business. This rationalisation exercise led
to a reduction in total workforce by over 4,600 people. As a part of
this exercise, the manufacturing of women’s wear was discontinued
during the year. The operations post restructuring have stabilised.

The  annual  HARMONY  art  show  hosted  by  Reliance’s  Textile
Division  in  April  2002,  in  Mumbai,  met  with  its  usual  enthusiastic
response. From this year on, the HARMONY show will endeavour to
support  causes  dedicated  to  ease  or  better  the  circumstances  of
those,  who  by  factors  beyond  their  control,  are  driven  into  lives  of
extreme  deprivation.  This  year’s  show  provided  a  platform  to
‘Aseema’,  a  non-governmental  organisation  engaged  in  the
rehabilitation of street children.

Opportunities

The  Indian  economy  is  generally  forecast  to  grow  by  5-6%  per
annum over the next few years. Per capita consumption in India, for
most  products  and  services,  remains  amongst  the  lowest  in  the
world. Domestic demand growth in most of Reliance’s products has
been at double-digit levels for the past several decades. This secular
trend of long term demand growth is expected to be maintained in
the future.

Reliance  intends  to  leverage  its  mar ket  leadership,  and
demonstrated  strengths,  namely,  conceptualisation  and
implementation  of  complex  large  projects,  technology  absorption,
financing  flexibility,  and  large  in-house  pool  of  intellectual  capital
resources, to effectively participate in these opportunities.

Reliance is harnessing attractive opportunities for profitable growth
in its existing businesses of oil and gas exploration and production,
refining  and  marketing  of  petroleum  products,  and  petrochemicals,
as well as in attractive new business areas of interest, such as power
and infocom.

There  are  also  increasing  opportunities  for  Reliance’s  products  in
the  export  markets. The  demonstrated  global  competitiveness  and
international quality of products, and its superior logistic capabilities,
provide the company with the ability to pursue these opportunities.

Challenges

As in the past, in all its businesses, Reliance faces the challenge of
normal  market  competition  from  domestic  as  well  as  international
companies.  However,  it  is  expected  that  the  company’s  sound
business  strategies  and  globally  competitive  cost  positions  will
continue to enable it to retain its leading market positions, maintain
operating  margins,  and  enhance  long  term  cash  flows.  RIL  has
consistently  shown  superior  performance  in  the  past,  even  under
difficult global operating conditions.

Reliance faces the challenge of competing with low cost producers
from  the  Middle  East  and  parts  of  the  Asia  Pacific.  However,
Reliance’s  own  global  competitiveness,  strong  customer  franchise,
extensive marketing distribution network, and international quality of
products, enable the company to successfully compete in the market.

Reliance’s  continued  domestic  market  leadership,  even  after  the
opening up of the Indian market to imports and the steep decline in
import  duties,  reflects  the  global  competitiveness  of  its  operations,
and its unique position of strength in the Indian market.

In  the  E&P  business,  RIL  faces  the  challenge  of  undertaking  a
comprehensive  development  programme  spanning  an  extensive
area of over 177,000 sq. kms., and spanning onshore and offshore,
shallow  and  deep  water  blocks.  Reliance  is  working  with  leading
international  technology  and  service  providers  for  successful
accomplishment of its objectives in this business.

In  the  refining  and  marketing  business,  the  public  sector  oil
companies  enjoy  an  advantage  of  an  existing  distribution
infrastructure  for  retail  marketing  of  petroleum  products.  RIL  faces

the challenge of creating a comprehensive retail marketing network
for  upliftment  of  its  products,  consequent  upon  the  abolition  of  the
APM  from  April  1,  2002  and  the  opening  up  of  marketing  to  the
private sector.

Reliance  has  already  received  approvals  for  setting  up  over  5,800
retail outlets for marketing of transportation fuels. Reliance intends to
leverage  its  managerial  and  organisational  strengths  to  set  up  an
appropriate retail marketing network in the medium to long term. For
the  2  years  from  April  1,  2002,  Reliance  has  already  signed
agreements  with  the  public  sector  oil  companies,  IOC,  BPCL  and
HPCL, for offtake of nearly 13 million tonnes of petroleum products.

Outlook

Refining  of  petroleum  products,  and  the  manufacture  of
petrochemicals  products,  presently  account  for  the  core  of
Reliance’s business portfolio. Both these businesses being global in
nature,  the  outlook  for  margins  and  profitability  depends  in  large
measure  upon  the  overall  global  economic  outlook,  the  global
demand-supply scenario, and trends in feedstock and product prices.

Reliance  is  already  amongst  the  most  profitable  petrochemicals
companies globally, in terms of various key indicators of profitability.
Any  upturn  in  the  petrochemicals  cycle,  as  and  when  the  same
occurs,  can  significantly  enhance  Reliance’s  profitability,  given  its
scale of operations and its globally competitive cost positions.

Conversely, sustained firmness and/or volatility in feedstock prices,
primarily crude, as a result of global tensions, can have an adverse
impact on Reliance’s margins and profitability.

Reliance’s  production  volumes  in  both  refining  and  petrochemicals
are  expected  to  grow  broadly  in  line  with  industry  trends,  over  the
medium  to  long  term.  The  increase  in  volume  will  be  achieved
through  various  routes  such  as  low  gestation  capacity  expansion,
cost  efficient  debottlenecking,  and/or  attractive  acquisitions  at
competitive costs.

Reliance’s entry into retail marketing of petroleum products will add
a  new  revenue  stream  to  its  existing  business  portfolio,  in  the
medium to long term.

Reliance is making significant E&P investments in a well-balanced
and  promising  portfolio  of  oil  and  gas  properties  in  India.  This
business  has  the  potential  to  provide  a  higher  contribution  to
Reliance’s overall business profile, in the medium to long term.

Reliance’s investments in the infocom business have the potential to
generate significant value for shareholders, in the medium to long term.

Risks and Concerns

The  domestic,  regional  and  global  macro-economic  environment
directly influences the consumption of petrochemical and petroleum
products.  Any  economic  slowdown  can  adversely  impact  demand-
supply  dynamics,  and  profitability  of  all  industry  players,  including
Reliance.

However,  the  company’s  operations  have  historically  shown
significant  resilience  to  the  fluctuations  of  economic  and  industry
cycles, with demand for most of its key products continuing to grow
at healthy rates even at times of an overall economic slowdown.

Reliance’s  operations  have  significant  exposure  to  the  domestic
market,  which  accounts  for  nearly  80%  of  the  revenues.  The
company  is  also  making  investments  in  attractive  new  businesses
and  markets  in  India. These  factors  potentially  expose  Reliance  to
any  risk  of  a  significant  shock  to  the  Indian  economy,  which  may

Reliance Industries Limited

Reliance Industries Directors Report.p65   #

(cid:1)(cid:2)(cid:3)(cid:4)(cid:5)(cid:6)(cid:7)(cid:8)(cid:9)(cid:7)(cid:10)(cid:8)(cid:11)(cid:12)

adversely impact the long-term economic fundamentals. Reliance’s
continuing focus on exports is a part of its strategy to diversify this risk.

Reliance’s  highly  integrated,  and  globally  competitive  operations,
leading  positions  in  domestic  markets,  diversification  of  markets
through exports, and thrust on speciality products, etc., have proved
to be effective in mitigating the impact of generic industry risk factors.

Unfavourable  trends  in  import  tariffs  on  key  raw  materials  and
products  may  adversely  impact  the  cost  structure  and/  or  selling
prices  of  products  in  the  domestic  markets,  thereby  potentially
affecting  margins.  However,  the  impact  of  further  import  tariff
reductions on Reliance’s products is not likely to be material in the
future,  as  import  tariffs  on  Reliance’s  major  products  have  already
been significantly reduced compared to historic levels.

Reliance currently prices most of its products below the import parity
price  levels,  which  adds  to  the  company’s  pricing  flexibility  in  the
event of import tariff reductions. Additionally, the company’s margins
are helped by any depreciation of the Indian rupee against the US
dollar  –  the  long-term  historic  rate  of  depreciation  has  been  in  the
range of 5% per year.

Reliance has insured its assets and operations against a wide range
of  risks,  as  part  of  its  overall  risk  management  strategies.  The
company continues to follow suitable strategies to positively modify
its risk profile by eliminating and significantly reducing key business
risks,  and  developing  and  implementing  strategies  to  achieve  the
maximum possible degree of insulation from broad macroeconomic risks.

Any adverse movement in the value of the domestic currency may
increase  the  company’s  liability  on  account  of  its  foreign  currency
denominated  external  commercial  borrowings  in  rupee  terms.
However, Reliance has adopted conservative foreign exchange risk
management policies, in this regard. The company’s rapidly growing
export  revenues,  and  foreign  exchange  denominated  oil  and  gas
revenues,  provide  more  than  adequate  cover  for  the  external  debt
service requirements every year.

In  recent  months,  the  sharp  increase  in  the  country’s  foreign
exchange reserves to over US$ 62 billion (Rs. 301,200 crores) have
imparted  considerable  strength  to  the  Indian  rupee,  thereby
mitigating  this  risk  to  a  very  large  extent,  at  least  in  the  short  to
medium term, barring unforeseen developments.

Reliance  manages  potential  operational  risks  by  adopting  leading
edge  technologies,  world  class  manufacturing  practices,  modern
HRD (Human Resource Development) policies, and an appropriate
HSE (Health, Safety and Environment) framework.

Reliance  has  been  addressing  new  growth  opportunities  arising
from  the  ongoing  liberalisation  and  deregulation  of  the  Indian
economy. Any significant delays in further deregulation or changes in
the direction of that process may impact prospects of all new players,
including Reliance, who are targeting those opportunities.

Reliance  is  planning  to  make  significant  investments  in  the  E&P
business,  retail  marketing  of  petroleum  products,  and  the  infocom
business.  Delays  in  the  implementation  of  these  projects,  any
adverse  regulatory,  judicial  or  legislative  developments  in  these
areas, and/or normal business and competitive risks associated with
each  of  these  businesses,  could  adversely  impact  returns  on
Reliance’s investments therein.

Adequacy of Internal Controls

Reliance has a proper and adequate system of internal controls to
ensure that all assets are safeguarded, and protected against loss
from  unauthorised  use  or  disposition,  and  that  transactions  are
authorised, recorded, and reported correctly.

The  internal  control  systems  are  supplemented  by  an  extensive
programme  of  internal  audits,  reviews  by  management,  and
documented  policies,  guidelines  and  procedures.  The  internal
control systems are designed to ensure that the financial and other
records  are  reliable,  for  preparing  financial  statements  and  other
data, and for maintaining accountability of assets.

The use of SAP financial and business management systems, which
provide  a  high  level  of  system  based  checks  and  controls,  have
helped  in  improving  efficiency  and  effectiveness  of  Reliance’s
internal control systems.

Reliance  has  strong  and  independent  internal  audit  systems,
covering on a continuous basis, the entire gamut of operations and
services spanning all locations, businesses and functions.

In addition to the in-house internal audit team, Reliance has several
leading  national  and  international  professional  firms  on  its  internal
audit panel.

Internal  audit  at  Reliance  includes  evaluation  of  all  financial,
operating and information technology system controls. Internal audit
findings  and  recommendations  are  reviewed  by  the  top
management and the Audit Committee of the Board.

Reliance Telecom

RIL holds a 26% equity stake in Reliance Telecom Limited (RTL).

RTL provides cellular telephony services, using the GSM standard,
in  15  states,  covering  an  area  equal  to  almost  1/3rd  of  India’s
geographical area, and with a total population of 400 million people.

RTL’s cellular services are provided in 118 cities and towns in India.
During  the  year,  RTL’s  cellular  subscriber  base  crossed  380,000
recording a growth rate of 103%, which was significantly higher than
the industry growth rate of 80%. This growth was achieved through
balanced  tariffs  and  focused  marketing  strategies  including  the
introduction of prepaid cards in all circles.

During  the  year,  RTL  achieved  a  significant  milestone  with  its
operations  becoming  EBT  (earnings  before  tax)  positive.  This
milestone  has  been  achieved  in  a  little  over  4  years  from  the
commencement of cellular operations.

RTL also holds a licence for providing basic telecom services in the
state  of  Gujarat  and  Union Territories  of  Daman,  Diu,  Dadra  and
Nagar Haveli. The company has initiated both infrastructure build-up
and marketing activities so as to launch commercial services in rural,
semi-rural and urban short distance charging areas (SDCAs) as per
the rollout stipulation in the current financial year.

Reliance Infocomm

RIL is the lead investor in Reliance’s initiatives in the infocom sector.

Reliance’s  infocom  initiatives  are  aimed  at  contributing  to  the
acceleration of India’s economic growth, building world class assets,
capable  of  delivering  superior  long  term  returns,  and  enhancing
overall shareholder value.

Current teledensity in India is amongst the lowest in the world, with
only 43 million phones in a population of over a billion people. The
Government’s stated objective is to achieve over 150 million phones
by the year 2010.

The Government has adopted an open door policy, promoting unlimited
competition in telecom services, in the best interests of consumers.

Reliance  is  implementing  plans  for  addressing  the  entire  telecom
market in India with a national footprint, and a presence in fixed line,
mobile,  national  long  distance,  and  international  long  distance
telephony,  as  well  as  a  complete  range  of  data,  image  and  value
added services.

Reliance  is  building  a  world  class  broadband,  IP  backbone,
connecting India’s top 115 cities with over 60,000 route kilometers of
fibre,  and  with  terabit  capacity.  The  backbone  will  link  areas
contributing over 50% of the country’s GDP.

Reliance  holds  licences  for  providing  basic  fixed  line  telephony
services,  including  WLL  (Wireless  in  Local  Loop,  also  known  as
limited  mobility)  services,  in  18  states,  covering  over  95%  of  the
country’s population.

Reliance also holds a licence for providing National Long Distance
(NLD) services, and International Long Distance (ILD) services.

Reliance  proposes  to  leverage  its  core  competencies  of  complex
project  management,  technology  absorption,  financial  engineering,
and  building  grass-root  businesses,  to  become  a  leading  player  in
the infocom landscape.

Reliance is implementing its infocom projects with a traditional return
based philosophy to maximise value, and with a focus on traditional
financial criteria, like positive cash flows, attractive IRRs and ROEs,
and low payback period.

Reliance Power

Reliance intends to pursue future opportunities in the power sector
through its interests in BSES Ltd. (BSES).

BSES, India’s premier utility company, is engaged in the generation,
transmission  and  distribution  of  electricity.  BSES  also  provides
services  in  electrical  contracting,  engineering,  procurement  and
construction contracts.

BSES is ranked amongst India’s top 20 private sector companies in
terms of net profits, and amongst the top 30-35 private sector companies,
on all other financial parameters. BSES reported sales of Rs. 2,783
crores  (US$  570  million)  for  2001-02,  with  net  profits  of  Rs.  281
crores (US$ 58 million).

BSES,  on  its  own,  and  through  its  subsidiaries/joint  venture
companies, has power generation capacity of around 885 MW.

BSES is also the largest private sector power distribution company
in India, holding the licence for distribution of power in major areas of
Mumbai,  and  also  for  more  than  75%  of  the  area  for  the  state
of Orissa.

Recently,  BSES  has  acquired  majority  stakes  in  two  of  the  three
newly  formed  distribution  companies,  for  distribution  of  power  in
South and West, and Central and East areas of Delhi.

BSES and its subsidiaries now provide electricity services to more
than 5 million consumers, covering an estimated population of 45 million.

As on March 31, 2002, Reliance was the single largest shareholder
in BSES, with an equity stake of nearly 38%, and 2 nominees on the
Board of Directors of the company, out of a total strength of 9 persons.

Energy  Conservation

Reliance  has  a  well-laid  out  comprehensive  energy  conservation
policy in place and is guided by this policy in all its actions. Besides
monitoring  specific  energy  consumption  of  individual  production
facilities,  several  benchmarking  exercises  are  routinely  undertaken
to consistently improve upon performance.

During  the  year,  Process  Design  Centre,  Netherlands  carried  out
energy  benchmarking  studies  for  all  three  MEG  plants,  which  are
rated amongst the top five plants in the world for energy performance
(based  on  Exergy).    M/s  Solomon  carried  out  the  benchmarking
study of the naphtha cracker plant of Hazira for the year 2001.

power and steam generation plants to improve fuel efficiency at all
manufacturing sites.

Reliance  understands  that  increasing  productivity  of  operating
plants significantly reduces specific energy consumption of finished
products and this has been the major emphasis besides undertaking
specific energy conservation schemes.

Different  energy  conservation  training  programs  were  conducted
during the year to enrich knowledge of the engineers and to facilitate
practice of the same in ongoing operations.

Apart  from  external  benchmarking  studies  in  process  plants,  a
periodic internal benchmarking exercise is carried out in the captive

Pinch Technology  and  heat  &  power  integration  studies  were  also
carried out for the cracker and MEG plants.

Research & Development

Research  &  Development  (R&D)  activities  are  an  integral  part  of
the  company’s  overall  operations.  Reliance  follows  growth-oriented
R&D  to  support  its  overall  corporate  objectives  of  growth  and
performance.

During  the  year,  polymer  R&D  activities  received  a  major  boost
owing  to  multi-pronged  initiatives  such  as  augmentation  of  R&D
facilities,  focus  on  process  enhancement  research,  and
development of new product grades.

Reliance  has  two  DSIR  (Department  of  Scientific  and  Industrial
Research)  accredited  R&D  laboratories  at  Hazira  and  Mumbai.
During  the  year,  the  Hazira  R&D  centre  was  augmented  with  the
installation  of  a  state-of-the-art  polymerisation  pilot  plant.  Similarly,
Product  Application  Research  Centre  (PARC)  at  Mumbai,  installed
new testing equipment and moulding facilities for application research.

During  the  year,  Hazira  R&D  Centre  filed  a  patent  on  ‘Olefin
polymerisation  titanium  catalyst’. The  earlier  patent,  filed  last  year,
on ‘Lower alpha-alkene polymerisation heterogeneous solid catalyst’
has entered into National Phase Application in several countries.

The  company  has  an  ongoing  5-year  research  alliance  agreement
with National Chemical Laboratory (NCL), Pune. Under this agreement,
the  company  jointly  with  NCL,  successfully  developed  Artificial
Neural Networking model (soft sensors) for its polyethylene plant.

Besides in-house R&D projects, the polymers business continues to
sponsor  and  participate  in  various  outsourced  R&D  initiatives  at
leading  institutes  and  laboratories,  including  Jawaharlal  Nehru
Centre  for  Advanced  Scientific  Research  –  Bangalore,  IIT  Madras
and  University  of  Massachusetts,  in  the  US.  112  employees  were
trained  on  advanced  polyolefins  technical  modules  under  the
Knowledge Management program, run jointly with NCL.

The  Reliance Technology  Centre  (RTC)  is  an  in-house  R&D  unit
working  on  polyester  fibres,  filaments,  resins  and  polymeric
materials through innovative research and technology development
in  materials,  processes,  products  and  applications.  The  major
achievements at RTC during the year included:

(cid:1) Commercialisation  of  new  technology  to  produce  superior

quality dope dyed black polyester staple fibre

(cid:1) Development  and  commercialisation  of  CP  based  process
technology  for  high  tenacity/  high  modulus  dope  dyed  black
fibres

(cid:1) Development and commercialisation of short cut PSF for paper

reinforcement

(cid:1) Development  of  new  indigenous  finish  systems  for  polyester
staple fibres for performance improvement and cost savings

During the year, 11 new grades of polypropylene and 5 new grades
of polyethylene were developed and launched through various R&D
initiatives.

In  addition,  as  a  part  of  regular  exercises  during  the  year,  several
R&D  activities  were  carried  out  to  improve  plant  performance,
reduce costs and optimize processes.

Quality

Reliance  is  committed  to  total  customer  satisfaction  in  terms  of
quality  and  services  for  the  entire  range  of  its  products.  The
continued  commitment  to  excellence  and  innovative  efforts  to
enhance  Quality  contribute  to  Reliance’s  market  leadership  in  its
various businesses.

Quality  standards  are  primarily  achieved  through  automated
systems (reducing manual handling to a minimum), high attention to
complaint  resolution,  online  communication  and  information
exchange, quality circles and adoptions of programmes such as “six
sigma”, and institutionalisation of benchmarking and other methods,
which constantly guide Reliance employees in all their activities.

Right since its inception, Reliance’s quality strategy has evolved to
ensure  that  it  uses  the  world’s  best  technology,  a  highly  trained
workforce, as well as cutting edge equipment and instrumentation.

Reliance  has  also  put  in  place  a  top  class  communication  module
enabling advanced process control. Above all, continuous monitoring
allows a high degree of consistency in quality performance.

Reliance’s  increasing  exports  revenues,  and  the  fact  that  it
commands  market  leadership  in  India  in  the  face  of  unrestricted
competition from imports, bear testimony to the international quality
of Reliance’s products. Reliance’s products are now exported to over
100 countries across continents, including the US and Europe.

Reliance  has  in  place  a  clearly  defined  system  to  ensure  that  the
quality philosophy permeates to every aspect of the business. The
system is focussed on maintaining uniform quality at every stage of
activity.  Quality  is  considered  to  be  at  the  heart  of  not  just  every
product,  but  of  every  activity,  since  each  activity  contributes  to  the
final output.

Reliance’s plants have received a total of 29 ISO 9000 certificates. In
addition, more than 100 Reliance employees have become eligible
for six-sigma black-belt certificates. These achievements bear ample
testimony to Reliance’s commitment to quality.

During  the  year,  Reliance  achieved  the  distinction  of  securing  the

Golden  Certificate  for  10  consecutive  months  from  Shell  Global
Solutions, for excellence in the reliability of testing.

Continuous  monitoring  of  quality,  coupled  with  cost,  using  the  QLI
(Quality Loss Index) modules is being followed at Hazira Complex.
Reliance plans to introduce this in other manufacturing sites as well.

Health

Reliance  accords  a  very  high  priority  on  providing  adequate  and
modern medical services to all its people. Reliance has occupational
health centres (OHC) at all locations. Reliance places the emphasis
on  prevention  of  work  related  health  hazards,  reduction  of  health
impairment, and the promotion of positive health.

Activities  at  the  Hazira  manufacturing  complex  included  health
a u d i t s ,   m e d i c a l   m o n i t o r i n g ,   c o m p a r a t i v e   s t u d i e s   o f
interdepartmental  health  status,  and  steady  improvement  in  all
medical  facilities.  A  comprehensive  health  risk  assessment  study
was also carried out in the plant for exposure to various chemicals.

Senior  health  specialists,  fully  supported  by  qualified  doctors  and
trained  paramedical  staff,  are  available  at  all  locations. There  is  a
continuous  emphasis  on  improving  health  standards  through
improvement  in  production  processes,  as  also  various  health
promotion activities.

The role of health-education and awareness in promotion of health
cannot be overemphasised. Working on the theme - ‘To enable the
employee to understand his own health better’, over last five years,
the  OHC  at  Patalganga  complex  has  evolved  an  effective  multi-
pronged  health  awareness  program  to  address  common  health
concerns  like  hypertension,  diabetes,  heart  disease,  backache
prevention and lifestyle management.

The occupational health and family welfare centre established at the
Jamnagar complex caters to the comprehensive healthcare needs of
employees  and  their  families,  staying  in  the  township. The  regular
activities  include  pre-employment  medical  examinations,  periodic
medical  check-ups  of  employees,  school  health  check-ups,
preventive immunisation and medical camps.

A  medical  data  management  system  has  been  developed  and
installed  at  all  the  medical  centres,  rendering  the  site  medical
centres paperless.

The  Naroda  complex,  too,  houses  a  full-fledged  health  centre  with
facilities for emergency and routine health care.

Safety

‘Safety of person overrides all the production targets’ – is the Health,
Safety and Environment policy of Reliance.

Reliance is committed to the health and safety of its own employees,
contractors’  employees  and  visitors,  and  aims  for ‘Zero  Accident’
targets.  To  get  closer  to  the  goal  of  ‘Zero  Accident’,  Reliance
undertook various activities and initiatives during the year, such as:
(cid:1) Intersite audit conducted for the first time at all three sites
(cid:1) A new work permit system common to all three sites has been
developed by joint participation of the safety personnel from the
three sites. The same is already implemented at Hazira. The new
work permit system will soon be transformed to an e-permit system.
(cid:1) A  combined  corporate  safety  plan  for  the  year  2002-03
consisting of the plans from the three sites has been worked out
and put in operation for the first time.

(cid:1) Based  on  DuPont’s  Safety  Training  Observation  Program
(STOP)  training  modules,  training  programs  were  organised  to
improve employee behaviour and attitude towards safety.

(cid:1) Various national level conferences/ training programs/ seminars
were  attended  by  employees  to  stay  updated  with  the  latest
developments in the field of HSE.

(cid:1) Shell  Global  Solutions  carried  out  a  safety  audit  of  Hazira
facilities for the first time and a repeat audit for the Jamnagar facilities.

During  the  year,  the  Jamnagar  complex  received  the  Shell
Safety Award for achieving 10 million man-hours without any lost
time accident.

Environment

Healthy  business  operations  need  a  healthy  environment  to  excel.
Reliance is committed to improving the quality of life and enhancing
the sustainability of all business activities. To achieve these objectives,
various participative initiatives are practiced and promoted.

Strict  adherence  to  all  regulatory  requirements  and  guidelines  is
maintained at all times. Anticipated legislation, rules and regulations
are  also  considered,  and  provisions  are  made  during  the  design
engineering phase. The systems are designed so that the products
meet  not  just  the  present  norms,  but  even  future  environmental
regulations without requiring any major modification.

The  Jamnagar  complex  has  been  planned,  designed,  constructed
and  commissioned  in  line  with  the  philosophy  on  environmental
protection as an integral part of the equipment and operations. The
environment  has  been  considered  with  high  importance  in  every
aspect of design, commissioning and operation of the refinery.

The refinery complex is unique and does not put any burden on the
water  resources  in  the  region  as  it  has  an  integrated  desalination
plant to produce 48 million litres per day of desalinated water for use
in  process  and  domestic  applications,  using  the  low  temperature

heat sources of the process units. This desalination plant is coupled
with  a  state-of-the-art  effluent  treatment  plant,  thereby  conserving
water and protecting the environment.

The Hazira complex is the only integrated petrochemicals complex
enjoying  ISO  14000  certification  for  its  implementation  of  an
Environmental  Management  System  (EMS). The  complex  is  being
regularly  and  continuously  audited  by  Lloyds  Register  Quality
Assurance, as a part of the certification procedure.

Maximum  water  cess  rebate  was  granted  by  the  Gujarat  Pollution
Control  Board  for  the  year  2000-01  signifying  the  efforts  made  for
conservation of water and effluent treatment.

The  Hazira  complex  has  made  many  innovative  efforts  towards
environment  protection.  One  such  effort  was  the  setting  up  of  a
vermiculture plant to convert the garden waste (generated in house)
to  vermicast,  an  organic  fertiliser,  which  is  used  as  a  substitute  to
commercial fertiliser for in-house uses.

The  Hazira  complex  was  honoured  with  Indo  German  Greentech
Environment  Excellence  Award  for  the  year  2001  (instituted  by

Greentech Foundation) in the petrochemical category.

At  all  the  manufacturing  sites  lush  greenery  has  been  developed
utilising  treated  effluents.  Utilising  treated  effluent  for  the  greenery
avoids  any  additional  fertiliser  usage  and  also  conserves  the
requirements of fresh water for greenery development.

Around  2,200  acres  of  land  at  Reliance’s  Jamnagar  complex  has
been transformed into green pastures, with agroforestry of over 2.3
million trees. The trees being grown in the complex include mango,
teak, neem, guava, custard apple and medicinal plants. In all, over
200  species  are  being  planted  in  the  green  belt.  Also,  mangroves
have been planted to protect the marine environment around Sikka/
Vadinar, where the port facility is located.

In  order  to  keep  up  with  the  global  commitment  towards
environment, Reliance is also conducting research and development
for new products that are environment friendly. Research options are
being  examined  for  assisted  bio-degradation  of  commonly  used
polymers. Reliance is conducting research using biotechnology and
engineering  to  develop  a  range  of  polymers  that  will  be
biodegradable in the natural environment.

Human Resource Development

Reliance believes “Growth is Life” – for Reliance and for all Reliance
people.  A  large  in-house  pool  of  intellectual  capital  is  the  driving
force  behind  Reliance’s  accelerated  growth,  and  is  one  of  its
fundamental  competitive  strengths.  To  enable  consistent  growth,
Reliance  puts  a  great  deal  of  effort  behind  creating  a  workplace
where  every  Reliance  employee  can  reach  their  full  potential  and
achieve maximum personal fulfillment.

RIL  is  a  young  company,  with  an  average  age  of  37  years  for  its
12,864 employees as on 31st March 2002. Reliance has over 4,200
qualified  professionals  accounting  for  nearly  70%  of  the  total
supervisory work force.

Reliance offers world of opportunities to employees by giving them
more freedom and responsibility to chart their own course within the
company. The  company  offers  comprehensive  world-class  training
and  development  resources.  Networking,  coaching  and  mentoring
provide  additional  opportunities  for  people  to  grow  personally  and
professionally throughout their careers.

The  company  has  a  unique  system  that  offers  a  wide  spectrum  of
career  options  for  employees  to  choose  from,  and  the  necessary
learning  courses. The  onus  of  learning  is  on  the  employees  who  are
duly supported by excellent systems for assessments, career mapping,
aptitude  tests  and  other  training  needs.  During  the  year,  over  1,000
training programs covering over 6,400 employees were conducted.

In association with Indian Institute of Management (IIM) - Bangalore,
Reliance has created a unique and customised management course
for  its  engineers.  The  seventh  batch  of  such  engineers  who
successfully  completed  the  course  was  prepared  for  taking  over
marketing  responsibilities  in  line  with  the  new  demands.  The
employees, who were prepared for accelerated growth careers in the
company,  today  occupy  positions  with  impor tant  sectional
responsibilities at a young age of 27-30 years.

Reliance’s  appraisal  and  reward  system  is  aimed  at  increasing
employee  involvement  in  the  goals  and  objectives  of  the
organisation, and encouraging individuals to go beyond their scope
of work, undertake voluntary projects that enable them to learn, and
contribute innovative ideas in meeting the targets of the company.

The company has moved to a Key Result Area oriented performance
appraisal system and will soon move to performance linked incentive
scheme, wherein the employees will share the risk and the rewards
of  company’s  perfor mance,  business  perfor mance,  team
performance and their individual performance.

Reliance  is  in  the  final  stages  of  launching  SAP-HR  to  provide  an
effective  interface  between  HR  and  the  employees  spread  over
diverse locations.

Social Responsibility and Community Development

Reliance  believes  that  organisational  growth  objectives  need  to  be
married  with  the  overall  developmental  imperatives  of  the  society
and the community at large, for ensuring sustainable all-round growth.

Reliance’s  social  welfare  and  community  development  initiatives
focus  on  the  key  areas  of  education,  healthcare,  and  the  overall
development of the communities in which the company operates.

Reliance has always been quick to place all its resources at the service
of the nation and the community, in times of crises and emergency.

The Reliance group undertakes its social welfare and philanthropic
initiatives  through  various  organisations,  including  corporates,
trusts, and others.

is provided to all students, enabling students living in nearby villages
to attend school everyday.

During  the  year,  Reliance  in  association  with  the  Municipal
Corporation  of  Greater  Mumbai,  launched  the  Secondary  Schools
Computerisation  Project  to  facilitate  computer  education  for  51
municipal  secondary  schools  of  Mumbai,  covering  approximately
68,000  students  in  Classes V-X.  Computer  laboratories  are  being

multi-media  computers  connected  on  a  network;  with  a  printer,
scanner,  software  applications  and  educational  multimedia  content
for various syllabus subjects, including Maths and Science.

The  project  aims  to  benefit  not  only  the  students,  but  also  the
teachers and the municipal schools. While the students will gain the
skills  needed  to  be  productive  and  successful  citizens  in  the  new
knowledge era, the teachers will benefit by learning new skills that
will  further  their  professional  development. The  schools  will  benefit
by  acquiring  the  resource,  skills  and  self-sufficiency  to  carry  this
project forward on their own, into the future.

Jamnagar  town  faces  acute  drinking  water  shortages.  In  order  to
mitigate  the  problems  of  people,  Reliance  supplies  drinking  water
from its state-of-the-art seawater desalination plant during summer
periods  of  shortages.  Drinking  water  was  supplied  for  the  third
successive year in the summer of 2002.

Dwarka, a holy place near Jamnagar, has been a centre of attraction
not  only  for  pilgrims  of  the  country  but  also  for  archeologists,
historians  and  tourists  from  all  over  the  world.  During  the  year,
Reliance took up much needed renovation and overall development
plan  of  Dwarka  by  joining  hands  with  the  various  organisations/
offices of the Government of Gujarat.

DAF has recently established a sanatorium at Chorwad, Gujarat, for
the use of patients needing change of climate and recuperation.

During the year, Reliance also carried out community services work
in villages adjoining its Jamnagar and Hazira complexes, to improve
the quality of life of people. Some of the activities at Jamnagar were
–  supply  of  fodder,  organisation  of  blood  donation  camps,  regular
health  check-up  camps  and  mobile  dispensar y  ser vices,
reconstruction  of  temples  and  assistance  to  several  voluntary
organisations to carry out cultural and social festivals/ functions etc.

The community services carried out at Hazira included – donations
to  Surat  Municipal  Corporation  and  District  Collectorate  for  e-
governance programmes, awards to motivate meritorious students,
donations  of  computers  and  library  books  to  various  schools,
donations of tricycles to handicapped students, organisation of inter-
village/ inter-school sports and cultural competitions, mobile health
van services, organisation of health camps and initiatives to provide
self-employment opportunities for women.

DAF  and  Sampradaan  -  the  Indian  Centre  for  Philanthropy,
organised  the  second  national  conference  of  Char itable
Foundations in India during the year. The objective was to network
charitable  foundations  for  professional  exchange  of  views,
experiences  and  to  explore  ways  for  collaboration. The  conference
on the theme “Promoting Good Governance: Internal and External”
was well attended by about 35 NGOs from all over India.

A platform to display the art and craft produced by underprivileged
children  from  Aseema  –  an  NGO  devoted  to  their  welfare  -  was
provided along with the annual Harmony Exhibition organised by the
Textile Division of RIL.

Foreign Exchange Savings, Taxes Paid and Exports

Foreign Exchange Savings

Reliance  primarily  manufactures  products  that  are  impor t
substitutes,  thereby  contributing  to  savings  of  precious  foreign
exchange for the country.

During  the  year,  the  company’s  operations  have  helped  the  nation
save valuable foreign exchange to the tune of Rs. 20,169 crores (US
$ 4,133 million), an increase of 17% over the previous year’s figure of
Rs. 17,309 crores.

Taxes Paid
Reliance  is  one  of  India’s  largest  contributors  to  the  national
exchequer,  primarily  by  way  of  payment  of  customs  and  excise
duties to various government agencies.

During the year, Reliance paid a total of Rs. 10,470 crores ($ 2,145
million)  in  the  form  of  various  taxes  and  duties  against  Rs.  4,277
crores for the previous year.
Reliance’s payment of duties and taxes has risen consistently over
the  years,  despite  the  decline  in  the  rates  of  custom  and  excise
duties. This is on account of the continued growth in production and
sales volumes.

Exports
RIL’s  exports,  including  deemed  exports,  increased  to  Rs.  11,200
crores  (US$  2,295  million),  from  Rs.  9,370  crores  (US$  2,010
million) in the previous year. This ranks RIL as the largest exporter
in the country.

During the year, RIL exported products to over 100 countries, including
the most quality conscious customers in the US and Europe.

These  substantial  export  revenues  demonstrate  Reliance’s  global
competitiveness, the world-class quality of its products, and superior
logistics  capabilities.

This strong growth in exports has been achieved while retaining the
thrust on the domestic markets, with exports still representing only
20% of RIL’s gross turnover.

In July 2001, Reliance was granted Super Star Trading House status
by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, a division of the Ministry
of Commerce, Government of India, in recognition of the company’s
outstanding achievement in exports.

corporate  governance,  and  follows  the  principles  of  fair
representation  and  full  disclosure  in  all  its  dealings  and
communications,  thereby  protecting  rights  and  interests  of  all  its
stakeholders.

Reliance recognises communication as a key element of the overall
corporate governance framework, and therefore emphasises continuous,

which is a key driver of sustainable corporate growth and long-term
shareholder value creation.

Corporate  Ethics
Reliance  has  a  defined  policy  framework  for  ethical  business
conduct by its personnel.

The Ethics Policy sets forth, inter alia:

- Our Values and Commitments

- Our Code of Ethics

- Our Business Policies

- The Insider Trading Policy

The "Values and Commitments" policy document states that Reliance believes that any business conduct can be ethical only when it
rests on the nine core values of Honesty, Integrity, Respect, Fairness, Purposefulness, Trust, Responsibility, Citizenship and Caring.
These values are not to be lost sight of by anyone at Reliance under any circumstances irrespective of the goals that are intended to be
achieved. To us, the means are as important as the ends.
In pursuit of these values outlined in the "Values and Commitments" policy document, we are committed to an ethical treatment of all our
stakeholders - our employees, our customers, our environment, our shareholders, our lenders and other investors, our suppliers and the
Government. A firm belief that every Reliance team member holds is that the other persons' interests count as much as their own.
The "Code of Ethics" and the "Business Policies" are in alignment with Reliance's Values and Commitments. The essence of these
documents is that each employee should conduct the Company's business with integrity, in compliance with applicable laws, and in a
manner that excludes considerations of personal advantage.
The "Code of Ethics" policy document contains the policy on the following:

l Conflict of Interest
l Payments and Gifting

and entrepreneurial spirit and for the immense contribution made by
him for the establishment and  growth of the Company from a small
outfit  into  India's  first  private  sector  Fortune  Global  500  Company
within a short span of 25 years. The Rs.65,000 crore Reliance Group
is a living testimony to his indomitable will, single-minded dedication
and an unrelenting commitment to his goals. Under Shri Dhirubhai's
visionary  leadership,  the  Reliance  Group  emerged  as  the  largest
business conglomerate in India, and carved out a distinct place for
itself in the global pantheon of corporate giants.
Shri Dhirubhai Ambani, a man far ahead of his times, epitomised the
dauntless entrepreneurial spirit. Acclaimed as the top businessman
of the twentieth century and lauded for his dynamic, pioneering and
innovative  genius,  his  success  story  fired  the  imagination  of  the
younger  generation  of  Indian  entrepreneurs,  business  leaders  and
progressive companies. He was an icon for them, a role model to be
emulated.
Shri Dhirubhai Ambani pioneered the equity cult in India, ushering in
a new era of economic growth by mobilising the virtually untapped
capital market of the small investor in India, and enabled millions of
Indian  citizens  to  take  part  in  his  growing  companies  -  and  their
growing nation.
Shri  Mukesh  D.  Ambani  was  elected  as  Chairman  and  Managing
Director and Shri Anil D. Ambani was elected as Vice Chairman and
Managing Director by the Board of Directors of the Company on 31st
July, 2002.

Director with effect from 14th August, 2002. He holds office upto the

Significant Accounting Policies

SCHEDULE ‘N’

SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING  POLICIES

A. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements

The  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  under  the  historical  cost  convention  in  accordance  with  the  generally  accepted  accounting
principles in India and the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956, except for certain fixed assets which have been revalued.

B. Use of Estimates

The  presentation  of  financial  statements  requires  estimates  and  assumptions  to  be  made  that  affect  the  reported  amount  of  assets  and
liabilities on the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Difference
between the actual result and estimates are recognised in the period in which the results are known/materialised.

C. Own Fixed Assets

Fixed Assets are stated at cost net of modvat / cenvat and includes amounts added on revaluation, less accumulated depreciation.  All costs,
including financing costs till commencement of commercial production, net charges on foreign exchange contracts and adjustments arising
from exchange rate variations attributable to the fixed assets are capitalised.

D. Leased Assets

a) Operating Leases: Rentals are expensed with reference to lease terms and other considerations.

b)

(i) Finance leases prior to 1st April, 2001: Rentals are expensed with reference to lease terms and other considerations.

(ii) Finance leases on or after 1st April, 2001: The lower of the fair value of the assets and present value of the minimum lease rentals is
capitalised as fixed assets with corresponding amount shown as lease liability. The principal component in the lease rental is adjusted
against the lease liability and the interest component is charged to profit and loss account.

c) However, rentals referred to in (a) or (b) (i) above and the interest component referred to in (b) (ii) above pertaining to the period upto the

date of commissioning of the assets are capitalised.

d) All assets given on finance lease are shown as receivables at an amount equal to net investment in the lease. Initial direct costs in respect
of lease are expensed in the year in which such costs are incurred. Income from these assets is accounted by applying the interest rate
implicit in the lease to the net investment.

E. Depreciation

Depreciation on fixed assets has been provided on written down value method at the rates and in the manner prescribed in Schedule XIV to
the Companies Act, 1956 except: on fixed assets pertaining to crude oil refining, polypropylene complex and support services situated at
Jamnagar, depreciation has been charged on straight line method (SLM);  on fixed bed catalyst depreciation has been provided over its useful
life ranging from 3 to 5 years; on additions or extensions forming an  integral part of existing plants, including incremental cost arising on

AND NOTES

Auditors’ Report on Consolidated Financial Statements

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

RELIANCE  INDUSTRIES  LIMITED

We  have  examined  the  attached  Consolidated  Balance  Sheet  of
Reliance  Industries  Limited  (“the  Company”)  and  its  subsidiaries
as  at  31st  March,  2002,  and  the  Consolidated  Profit  and  Loss
Account for the year then ended annexed thereto. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company’s Management.
Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  these  financial
statements based on our audit.

We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted
auditing standards in India. These Standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the
financial  statements  are  prepared,  in  all  material  respects,  in
accordance  with  an  identified  financial  reporting  framework  and
are  free  of  material  misstatements.  An  audit  includes,  examining
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in  the  financial  statements.  An  audit  also  includes  assessing  the
accounting  principles  used  and  significant  estimates  made  by
management,  as  well  as  evaluating 
financial
statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

the  overall 

We  did  not  audit  the  financial  statements  of  certain  subsidiaries,
whose  financial  statements  reflect  total  assets  (net)  of  Rs.  10.50
Crores  as  at  31st  March,  2002  and  total  revenues  of  Rs.  6.97
Crores  for  the  year  then  ended. These  financial  statements  have

been audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished
to  us,  and  our  opinion  ,  in  so  far  as  it  relates  to  the  amounts
included  in  respect  of  these  subsidiaries,  is  based  solely  on  the
report of the other auditors.

We  report  that  the  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been
prepared by the Company in accordance with the requirements of
Accounting Standard (AS) 21, Consolidated Financial Statements,
issued  by  the  Institute  of  Chartered  Accountants  of  India  and  on
the  basis  of  the  separate  audited  financial  statements  of  the
Company  and  its  subsidiaries  included  in  the  consolidated
financial  statements.

On the basis of the information and explanations given to us and
on  the  consideration  of  the  separate  audit  reports  on  individual
audited financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries,
we  are  of  the  opinion  that  the  said  consolidated  financial
statements  give  a  true  and  fair  view  in  conformity  with  the
accounting principles generally accepted in India :

(a) in  the  case  of  the  Consolidated  Balance  Sheet,  of  the
its

the  Company  and 

consolidated  state  of  affairs  of 
subsidiaries as at 31st March, 2002 and

consolidated  results  of  operations  of  the  Company  and  its
subsidiaries for the year then ended.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES TO THE CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET AND PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT

1.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements relate to Reliance Industries Limited ('the Company') and its subsidiary companies. The
consolidated  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  Accounting  Standard  (AS-21)  "Consolidated
Financial Statements" issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India on the following basis:

(i) The financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary companies have been combined on a line-by-line basis by adding
together the book values of like items of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, after fully eliminating intra-group balances and
intra-group transactions resulting in unrealised profits or losses.

(ii)

In case of foreign subsidiaries, revenue items have been consolidated at the average rate prevailing during the year. All assets
and  liabilities  are  converted  at  rates  prevailing  at  the  end  of  the  year.  Any  exchange  difference  arising  on  consolidation  is
recognised in the profit and loss account except in cases where they relate to acquisition of fixed assets in which case they are
adjusted to the carrying cost of such assets.

(iii) As  far  as  possible,  the  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  using  uniform  accounting  policies  for  like
transactions and other events in similar circumstances and are presented to, in the same manner as the Company's separate
financial  statements.

(iv) Minority Interest's share of net profit of consolidated subsidiaries for the year is identified and adjusted against the income of the

group in order to arrive at the net income attributable to shareholders of the company.

(v) Minority Interest's share of net assets of consolidated subsidiaries is identified and presented in the consolidated balance sheet

separate from liabilities and the equity of the company's shareholders.

Investments  other  than  in  Subsidiary  Companies  have  been  accounted  as  per  Accounting  Standard  (AS-13)  on  Accounting
for Investments issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

Reconciliation of Consolidated Net Profit determined under
Indian GAAP to Net Income in accordance with US GAAP

The  following  reconciliation  between  Consolidated  Profit  determined  under  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  in  India  (“Indian
GAAP”) to Net Income in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) has
been provided as additional disclosure on a voluntary basis to assist readers who may be unfamiliar with Indian GAAP. However, as the
company is not subject to US SEC reporting & disclosure requirements and major part of the revenue of the Company is earned in India,
the accounts should be read as per Indian GAAP.

Notes to Reconciliation of Consolidated profit determined under Indian GAAP with Net Income according to US GAAP.
The following notes show the difference between Indian and US GAAP and necessary adjustments to arrive at consolidated net income
under the US GAAP.
1. Share in income of Affiliates and Subsidiaries

a. Amalgamation of Reliance Petroleum Ltd. (RPL) with the Company

On  8th  April,  2002  and  15th  April,  2002  respectively,  shareholders  of  the  Company  and  RPL  approved  a  scheme  of
amalgamation, which was subsequently sanctioned by order dated 7th June, 2002 of the Honourable High Court of Bombay and
order dated 13th September, 2002 of the Honourable High Court of Gujarat. This transaction was consummated in September,
2002. However, the scheme calls for retroactive amalgamation with effect from 1st April, 2001.
Under Indian GAAP, the consolidated net profit after tax includes the accounts of RPL from the legal date of merger. Under US
GAAP,  as  the  transaction  was  consummated  after  the  balance  sheet  date,  RPL  has  been  included  on  the  equity  basis  of
accounting for the year.

b. Other Affiliates and Subsidiaries

Under  Indian  GAAP  investments  in  affiliates,  where  RIL  generally  owns  20%  to  50%,  are  carried  at  cost.  Income  from  such
affiliates is recognized to the extent dividends are declared.
Under US GAAP, investments in unconsolidated affiliates are accounted for using the equity method, whereby the investment is
carried at RIL’s related share of the net assets of such affiliates. RIL records as income, its share of the net earnings, determined
in accordance with US GAAP, of such affiliates.
With effect from 1st April, 2002, Indian GAAP also requires the use of the equity method by the Company.
Under Indian GAAP, in the current year, the company has also presented consolidated financial statements, which include its
subsidiaries. This  treatment  is  consistent  with  US  GAAP;  however,  the  net  income  under  US  GAAP  includes  the  earnings  of
subsidiaries determined in accordance with US GAAP.

2.

3.

4.

Leases
Under Indian GAAP in respect of leases entered into before 31st March, 2001, no distinction is made between an operating and a
capital lease. Under US GAAP, leases are classified into operating or capital, based on the underlying characteristics of the lease.
Capital leases are accounted for as though the company had entered into an obligation and invested in an asset, resulting in the
charge  to  operations  being  the  aggregate  of  depreciation  on  the  asset  and  interest  on  the  outstanding  obligation.  Under  Indian
GAAP, for leases entered prior to 31st March, 2001 the charge to operations consists of the lease rental. Adjustment has been made
for reversal of lease rental and the revenue charge of depreciation and interest for capital leases. For leases entered into after 31st
March, 2001 the treatment under US GAAP and Indian GAAP is the same.
Indirect  Preoperative  Expenses
Under Indian GAAP certain indirect expenses incurred during construction are capitalised. Under US GAAP, such indirect costs are
expensed as incurred.
Foreign Currency and Hedging
Under Indian GAAP foreign exchange difference relating to acquisition of fixed assets is adjusted to the carrying cost of such assets.
Other foreign exchange differences are recognized in the profit and loss account. Under US GAAP, all gains or losses arising out of
foreign exchange differences are required to be included in the determination of net income.

(cid:1)(cid:2)(cid:3)(cid:4)(cid:5)(cid:6)(cid:7)(cid:8)(cid:9)(cid:7)(cid:10)(cid:8)(cid:11)(cid:12)

The Company also enters into derivative contracts to manage its exposures to fluctuations in interest rates, foreign currencies and
commodity prices. Substantially all such contracts are regulated by agencies of the Government and may be entered into only for the
purposes of hedging. In order to comply with regulations, the company maintains extensive documentation to demonstrate that each
such contract qualifies for, and is effective as, a hedge of cash flows or foreign currency exposures.
Under Indian GAAP, the gain or loss on such derivative contracts are generally recognised when the underlying hedge transaction
settles, or upon earlier termination of the hedge.
Under US GAAP, the accounting for hedge contracts depends upon the nature of the hedge. For a derivative designated as hedging
an exposure to variable cash flow of a forecasted transaction, the effective portion of the derivative’s gain or loss is recognised in
income when the forecasted transaction effects earnings, or upon earlier termination of the hedge.

5. Depreciation

Under  Indian  GAAP,  indirect  preoperative  expenses  incurred  during  construction  are  capitalised.  Under  US  GAAP,  such  indirect
costs must be expensed as incurred. Depreciation has been adjusted to take account of the US GAAP adjustments to fixed assets for
indirect preoperative expenses and foreign currencies.

6. Deferred Income Tax

The provision for taxation under Indian GAAP consists of the estimated tax currently payable and deferred income taxes for timing
differences between accounting income and taxable income at the substantively enacted income tax rates.
US  GAAP  requires  that  a  provision  for  such  deferred  income  taxes  be  made  for  the  future  tax  effects  of  temporary  differences
between book and tax basis of assets at the enacted tax rates.
Accordingly, the reconciliation provides for an adjustment to reflect the differences due to tax rates and the tax effect of US GAAP
adjustments.
Issue  Expenses
Under  Indian  GAAP,  debt  issue  expenses  may  be  capitalized  or  charged  to  share  premium.  Under  US  GAAP,  debt  issue  cost  are
amortized over the life of the debt.

7.

8. Employee  benefits

Under Indian GAAP, provision for leave encashment is accounted for on actuarial valuation basis. Compensation to employees who
have  opted  for  voluntary  retirement  scheme  of  the  company  is  amortized  over  60  months.  Under  US  GAAP  provision  for  leave
encashment is accounted on actual basis. Compensation towards voluntary retirement scheme is charged in the year in which the
employees accept the offer.

9. Cumulative effect of change in accounting principle

In order to provide for the timely replacement of assets, the Company has changed the method of depreciation for Aromatics complex
situated at Jamnagar from Straight Line to Written Down value method with effect from 1st April, 2001. The new method has been
applied retrospectively to fixed asset acquisitions of prior years.
Under Indian GAAP, consequent to this, there is an additional charge for depreciation during the year relating to previous years and
an equivalent amount has been withdrawn from General Reserve and credited to Profit & Loss Account.
Under US GAAP, the cumulative effect of the change in depreciation method for previous years has reduced the consolidated net
income by Rs. 256 crores (net of Rs. 142 crores in deferred income taxes) after taking into account the adjustments to fixed assets for
indirect preoperative expenses and foreign currencies. Had there been no change in the method of depreciation, the charge for the
year would have been lower by Rs. 210 crores, excluding the charge relating to the previous years.

10. Loss on extinguishment of debt

Under  Indian  GAAP,  debt  extinguishment  premiums  are  adjusted  against  Securities  Premium  Account.  Under  US  GAAP  such
premiums for early extinguishment of debt are expensed as incurred, and generally reported as extraordinary items.

2. None of the fixed assets have been revalued during the year.

3. According to the information and explanations given to us, the
stock  of  raw  materials  had  been  physically  verified  by  the

such verification is reasonable.

4.

In  our  opinion,  the  procedures  of  physical  verification  of

Companies  Act,  1956,  or  from  companies  under  the  same
management  within  the  meaning  of  Section  370(1B)  of  the
Companies  Act,  1956. The  terms  and  conditions  of  the  loan
are not, in our opinion, prima-facie prejudicial to the interests
of the Company.

The  Company  has  not  granted  any  loans,  secured  or
unsecured  to  companies,  firms,  or  other  parties  listed  in  the
register maintained under Section 301 of the Companies Act,
1956 or to companies under the same management within the

Notes on Accounts

SCHEDULE ‘K’

1. SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING  POLICIES

a) Basis of preparation of Financial Statements

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, in accordance with the generally accepted
accounting principles in India and the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956 as adopted consistently by the Company.

b) Fixed Assets and Depreciation

Fixed Assets are stated at acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation.

i)
ii) Depreciation is provided on the straight line method at the rates and in the manner prescribed in Schedule XIV to the

Companies Act, 1956.

c) Employees/Retirement  Benefits

Gratuity  and  Leave  encashment  benefits  at  the  time  of  retirement  are  charged  to  Profit  and  Loss  account  on  the  basis  of
management estimates of the said liability.

d)

Investments
Current investments are carried at the lower of cost and quoted/fair value, computed category wise. Long Term Investments
are stated at cost. Provision for diminution in the value of long-term investments is made only if such a decline is other than
temporary in the opinion of the management.

2.

The previous year’s figures have been reworked, regrouped, rearranged and reclassified wherever necessary.

3. During the year, company has transferred 92,20,665 Equity shares of Larsen and Toubro Ltd. to its Holding Company at cost.

4. No provision is made for premium on redemption of debentures since the amount so payable is uncertain. The premium paid will

therefore be accounted for in the year of redemption.

5. As the Company is not a manufacturing company, information required under paragraphs 3 and 4 of Part II to Schedule VI of the

Companies Act, 1956 is given to the extent applicable.

The  Company  has  incurred  a  loss  of  Rs.  42,35,963/-  during  the
year. Your  directors  have  not  recommended  any  dividend  for  the
year  under  review.

After  the  close  of  the  financial  year,  the  Company  acquired  26%
of the voting capital of Indian Petrochemicals Corporation Limited
(IPCL),  at  Rs.231  per  share,  in  the  process  of  disinvestment  of
IPCL.  In  compliance  with  the  provisions  contained  under  The

acquire  fully  paid-up  equity  shares  representing  20%  of  the  total
voting  capital  of  IPCL  held  by  the  public  shareholders.  The

Auditors’ Report

We  have  audited  the  financial  statement  of  Reliance  Infocom  B.V.,
Amsterdam,  for  the  year  2001. These  financial  statements  are  the
responsibility  of  the  company’s  management.  Our  responsibility  is
to  express  an  opinion  on  these  financial  statements  based  on
our  audit.

We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  auditing  standards
generally accepted in the Netherlands. Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An  audit  includes  examining,  on  a  test  basis,  evidence  supporting
the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the  financial  statements.  An  audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates  made  by  management,  as  well  as  evaluating  the  overall
presentation  of  the  financial  statements. We  believe  that  our  audit
provides  a  reasonable  basis  for  our  opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of
the financial position of the company as at December 31, 2001 and
of the result for the year then ended in accordance with accounting
principles  generally  accepted  in  the  Netherlands  and  comply  with
the financial reporting requirements included in Part 9 of Book 2 of
the  Netherlands  Civil  Code.

Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2002

NOTE  A  -  SUMMARY  OF  SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING  POLICIES

Reliance  Infocom,  Inc.  (the “Company”)  is  a  Delaware  corporation  incorporated  on  September  21,  2000  as  a  wholly  owned  subsidiary  of
Reliance  Infocom  B.V.  (“B.V”).  On  October  17,  2000,  100  shares  of  common  stock  were  issued  to  B.V.  in  exchange  for  $900,000.  During
the  year  ended  March  31,  2002,  the  Company  performed  information  technology  consulting  services,  consulting  services  in  the  business
strategy and biotechnology area, as well as services for business opportunities in the USA for PET-chips (petrochemical sector). Revenue
from  such  services  represents  approximately  95%  of  the  consulting  revenue  earned.  Other  revenues  constitute  reimbursements  for
expenditures  incurred  on  the  behalf  of  an  affiliate.

[1]  Cash  and  cash  equivalents:
The  Company  considers  all  highly  liquid  accounts  (money  market  funds)  and  investments  with  a  maturity  of  three  months  or  less  when
acquired  as  cash  equivalents.

[2]  Property  and  equipment:
Property  and  equipment  are  carried  at  cost.    Depreciation  is  provided  using  the  straight-line  method  over  the  useful  lives  of  the  assets.

[3]  Revenue  recognition:
Consulting  revenue  is  recognized  as  services  are  performed.

[4]  Income  taxes:
The  liability  method  is  used  in  accounting  for  income  taxes.    Under  this  method,  deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  determined  based
on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws
that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The deferred tax liability for March 31, 2002 relates principally to book
and  tax  depreciation  differences.

[5]  Use  of  estimates:
The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in  the  United  States  of  America
requires  management  to  make  estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of
contingent  assets  and  liabilities  at  the  date  of  the  financial  statements  and  the  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during  the
reporting  period.    Actual  results  could  differ  from  those  estimates.

NOTE  B  -  PROPERTY  AND  EQUIPMENT

Property  and  equipment  are  summarized  as  follows:

NOTE  C  -  LEASES

The Company is obligated under two operating leases for office space.   The lease in New York expires on January 31, 2003; the monthly
rent  is  US  $3,275.   The  lease  in  Maryland  is  a  month-to-month  lease;  the  monthly  rent  is  US  $2,624.    Rent  expense  under  the  leases
amounted  to  US  $96,923  for  the  year  ended  March  31,  2002.

NOTE  D  -  EMPLOYMENT  CONTRACTS
Two employment agreements provide for annual base payments of US $432,000.  Neither agreement provides for a specific term, however,
the agreements provide for termination payments aggregating US $244,000 in the event the employees are terminated without cause. The
agreements  call  for  bonuses  to  be  paid  to  the  employees.  Bonuses  paid  for  the  year  ended  March  31,  2002  aggregated  US  $  104,000.

NOTE  E  -  PENSION  PLAN
A  401(k)  salary  deferral  plan  covers  all  eligible  employees  as  defined  in  the  plan.    The  Company  elected  not  to  make  discretionary
matching  contributions.

NOTE  F  -  DIVIDENDS
The  Company  declared  a  dividend  of  US  $125  per  share  for  shareholders  on  records  as  of  March  29,  2002.

Use  of  Estimates

The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to  make

CIRCULAR  TO  THE  SHAREHOLDERS

Dear Shareholder(s),

As you are aware,  according to the provisions of the Finance Act, 2002, the incidence of tax on dividend income would be on the recipient of

dividend. The Act further provides for deduction of tax at source (TDS) on dividend.  However, in case of a resident individual, no such deduction
will  be  made  if  the  amount  of  dividend  does  not  exceed  Rs.  2,500.    Income Tax  will  not  be  deducted,  where  such  dividend  amount  exceeds

Rs. 2,500, if the Resident Shareholder furnishes declaration in Form 15G in duplicate to the Registrar and Transfer Agents of the Company on or

before 25th October, 2002.

In all cases where tax has been deducted at source, the Company is required to issue TDS certificates inter alia quoting the Permanent Account

Number (PAN) of the Shareholders.  Under Section 139A(5A) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 obligation is cast on the shareholder, receiving dividend
after TDS, to intimate his/her Permanent Account Number (PAN)/General Index Register (GIR) Number to the Company.  The relevant part of the

said Section is reproduced below for your information:

Section 139A(5A): "Every person receiving any sum or income or amount from which tax has been deducted under the provisions of Chapter
XVIIB, shall intimate his permanent account number to the person responsible for deducting such tax under that Chaper."

"Provided further that a person referred to in this sub section shall intimate the General Index Register Number till such time permanent account
number is allotted to such person."

In the above circumstances we request you to kindly furnish us your PAN/GIR No. to enable us to print the same on the TDS certificate to be issued

to you.  In case you are holding shares in dematerialised form you are requested to furnish  the said details to your Depository Participant (DP).

We request you to send the above information at the earliest.
