LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
Reliance has always believed in
investing in India and in businesses
of the future. FY 2014-15 was a
landmark year for our company.
We have invested over $ 16 billion
or over ` 1,00,000 crore in creating
growth engines for the future. This
is the highest ever in the history of
our company and is a testimony to
our project execution capabilities.
This is also the highest by any Indian
corporate in a single year and is about
0.8% of India’s GDP.
The global economy in FY 2014-15
saw a steep decline in oil prices, which
had significant impact on energy
businesses. This coupled with slowing
growth in some of the leading global
economies impacted currencies. But,
there was positive news in terms of
faster-than-anticipated economic
growth recovery in the United States,
which provided momentum for the
global economic recovery.
India’s economy is in the midst of a
recovery with lower fiscal and current
account deficit, lower inflation and
weak commodity prices. Our country’s
growth seems poised to return to a
high-growth path.
It is in this context that Reliance
continues its quest for sustained
growth. I am pleased to inform you
that Reliance achieved its highest ever
consolidated net profits of ` 23,566
crore ($ 3.8 billion) during the year.
Both our energy businesses and
consumer businesses continue to
show strong growth potential.
` 23,566 crore
Highest ever consolidated
net profit in 2014-15
` 15,827 crore
Record EBIT of Refining &
Marketing Business
` 1,00,000 crore
Invested in creating
growth engines for the future
Our refining business delivered
a record profit with a healthy gross
refining margin. Our Petrochemicals
business margins improved on the
back of healthy polymer and polyester
deltas, partly offset by weak fibre
intermediate deltas.
Domestic upstream production
was lower due to natural decline in
the producing fields. Reliance and
its partners are trying to augment
production through interventions
to partly offset the natural decline.
Our US shale business recorded its
highest production and is a material
contributor to our earnings.
Reliance further strengthened its
leadership position as India’s largest
retailer. We have increased our
presence to 200 cities.
Our efforts to provide 4G services
across the country is gathering
momentum. During the year, based on
our acquisition of additional spectrum,
we have emerged as the largest
holder of liberalized spectrum in India.
This will truly be a transformational
initiative that will once again validate
Reliance’s ability to conceive and
execute large projects across the
country.
During the year, Independent
Media Trust, of which RIL is the sole
beneficiary, acquired the control
of Network18 and its subsidiary
TV18. This acquisition will enhance
the offering to the customers by
integrating telecom, web and digital
technologies.
REFINING & MARKETING
The world’s largest refinery complex
at Jamnagar maintained a high
operating rate of 110%, processing
67.9 MMT of crude oil during the year.
This is in comparison to the average
refinery utilization rates of 86.9% in
North America, 80.7% in Europe and
83.5% in Asia. This is a testimony to our
operational excellence and world-class
assets. The high capacity utilization
was supported by Reliance’s ability
to process advantaged feedstock,
flexibility to upgrade low value
products and place products in
a dynamic market environment.
Our Refining business delivered
record EBIT of `15,827 crore and gross
refining margins of $ 8.6/bbl.
During the year, over 300 fuel retailing
outlets were commissioned, with plans
to re-commission the entire network
of 1,400 outlets by the end of FY 2015-
16. Our focus is to ensure consistent
and superior customer experience
through several technology-enabled
initiatives.
Our petcoke gasification project,
designed to convert low-value
petroleum coke into high value syngas
is under execution. This will enable
increasing self-sufficiency in energy
at Jamnagar and also manufacture
of other value-added chemicals.
This project will also significantly
reduce energy costs for Jamnagar
refineries and make them competitive
compared to the North American
refineries which are benefiting from
the shale gas revolution.
PETROCHEMICALS
The steep decline in global energy
prices and increased supply from
the US led to sharp decline in
petrochemical products and feedstock
prices. Our integrated operations and
diversified feedstock slate coupled
with global cost competitiveness
helped mitigate some of the risks.
RIL is creating significant capacities to
further enhance its position amongst
the world’s largest producers of
petrochemicals, with global scale
capacities across the polymer and
polyester chain. During the year,
our focus was on creation of new
capacities with several new plants
being added and stabilizing the
operations of the new facilities.
During the year, the operations of the
new Polyester Filament Yarn (PFY)
facility at Silvassa were stabilized and
this strengthened our position as one
of the global leaders in production of
polyester fibre and yarn.
In the current year, RIL started India’s
largest Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR)
Plant at Hazira with capacity of
150 KTPA. We also expanded our Poly-
Butadiene Rubber (PBR) capacity. This
will help in reaffirming our domestic
leadership position in the elastomers
segment.
RIL also started new 650 KTPA PET
plant at Dahej, which is one of the
world’s largest bottle grade PET resin
capacity at a single location. Our new
PTA facility at Dahej with a capacity
of 1,150 KTPA was also commissioned
Mukesh D. Ambani, Chairman and Managing Director
Dear Fellow Shareowners,
I am delighted to write to you once again to
update you on the performance of Reliance
Industries Limited. Reliance continues to set new
benchmarks and records despite a challenging
global economic scenario marked by volatile
commodity prices, weak growth in certain major
economies and dollar appreciation against most
major global currencies.

“During the year Reliance and its subsidiaries tied-up long-term
facilities of nearly $ 6.5 billion. Our facilities with Export Credit
Agencies were accorded ‘Better than Sovereign’ rating by all
the ECAs – this was the first time that these multiple agencies
accorded such a rating to any corporate in their history.”
Refining & Marketing
The world’s largest refinery complex at
Jamnagar continued to operate at 110%
operating rate processing 67.9 MMT of
crude oil during the year.
Petrochemicals
The operations of the new Polyester
Filament Yarn (PFY) facility at Silvassa
were stabilized and this strengthened
our position as the global leader in
production of polyester fibre and
yarn.
Exploration &
Production
Development effort at the two
CBM blocks in Sohagpur East and
Sohagpur West is making significant
progress. Reliance expects first
production from these two blocks in
FY 2015-16.
Consumer Businesses
Our Retail business sustained its growth
momentum by generating record
revenues of ` 17,640 crore. Reliance Jio’s
ambitious project to provide 4G internet
services continues to gather speed.
Independent Media Trust, of which RIL is
the sole beneficiary, acquired the control

during the year. This increases
Reliance’s global capacity share to 4%.
Demand for petrochemicals is strongly
linked to economic growth. India’s
expected economic growth bodes
well for the growth of this business.
We are bringing several new capacities
on-stream in time to leverage the
expected spurt in demand.
We are building one of the world’s
largest ethylene crackers taking
advantage of refinery integration at
Jamnagar. The new cracker will be in
the top decile in terms of global cost
competitiveness on an integrated
basis among all the new crackers that
are being built. With implementation
of all the petrochemicals expansion
projects, RIL is likely to be among
the top 10 global petrochemicals
producers in the world.
EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION
Our domestic gas production from the
KG-D6 block was lower due to natural
decline during the year. RIL and its JV
partners stepped-up their efforts to
augment production from the field
through interventions like side-track
wells and onshore terminal booster
compressor to partly offset the natural
decline in the field.
Development effort at the two CBM
blocks in Sohagpur East and Sohagpur
West is making significant progress.
RIL expects first production from these
two blocks in FY 2015-16.

to strengthen our retail offerings
to provide unmatched choice and
affordable pricing. We are building
on our leadership positions in all the

This is in addition to the pan India
spectrum in the 2300 MHz band.
ROBUST BALANCE SHEET
RIL enjoys top-notch credit ratings
as a result of its financial prudence
and strong balance sheet. During the
year RIL and its subsidiaries tied-up
long-term facilities of nearly $ 6.5
billion. Our facilities with Export Credit
Agencies were accorded ‘Better than
Sovereign’ rating by all the ECAs – this
was the first time that these agencies
have accorded such a rating to any
corporate in their history.
RIL has always been in the forefront
of investing in India and its growth.
During the year, as part of our
largest capital expenditure cycle, we
invested over ` 1,00,000 crore. This
large investment spread across all our
businesses will create sustained and
significant value for our stakeholders.
BUSINESS TRANSFORMATION
Our work on Business Transformation
and next-gen people practices
continued at an accelerated pace. It is
an integral part of Reliance’s strategy to
build competitive advantage and use
technology for its advantage. We rolled
out “Our Values & Behaviours” to guide
Reliance and its talent through our
vision and mission in the coming years.
During the year, we were successful
in acquiring right to use spectrum in
800 MHz or 1800 MHz bands or both
in 13 key circles across India. With this,
Reliance Jio Infocomm has spectrum
in either 800 MHz or 1800 MHz or both
COMMITMENT
TO SOCIAL WELLNESS
As a responsible corporate citizen,
Reliance serves the society, through
Reliance Foundation, in the domains
of Rural Transformation, Education,

Arts, Culture and Heritage. Our relief
and rehabilitation efforts in Kashmir
and other areas affected by natural
calamities earned significant respect.
During the year, Reliance contributed
` 761 crore towards CSR activities,
accounting for 3.35% of profit after tax.
I would like to thank all my colleagues

Driving growth, value, innovation and transformation in society
Reliance is pursuing its strategy to grow, by leveraging its existing know-how and asset base and investing in
opportunities strategic to its existing businesses and those of the future. Reliance initially focuses on activities and
investment in India to take advantage of the large domestic market, as it currently holds a leadership position in it.
It builds competencies that can be rolled out on a global scale. Reliance’s business creates value for its
shareholders, employees, customers and society, and each new opportunity it pursues must meet these criteria or
it does not invest in it.

Reliance drives shareholder value through active portfolio management to continuously
enhance the quality of its business portfolio, consistently deliver shareholder returns and
maintain a focus on long-term growth potential.
Employee
Value
Reliance creates value for its employees, by ensuring their prosperity as the organisation grows.
Specifically, it creates employee value through continuous learning, structured career
progression opportunities and an industry-leading employee value proposition.
Customer
Value
Reliance drives customer value through its product innovation for customers, application
and service levels, ability to deliver a consistently high consumer experience and its overall
reputation and brand promise in the markets it operates in.
Societal
Value
Society provides Reliance with a license to operate, and with this privilege comes a responsibility
to create value. Reliance drives societal value through job creation, both directly and indirectly,
social innovation through products and services and its respect for ecology and environment.
Safe operations, digital technology, capital productivity,
operational efficiency and ethics
Reliance’s Group Strategy is founded on five enablers. These include safe operations,
digital technology, capital productivity, operational excellence and ethics.
Safety and compliance are core values, and they help Reliance to preserve enterprise value, and provide a
perpetual license securing its right to operate across India and globally.
Digital technologies underpin how Reliance operates its businesses. It is a pioneer in harnessing new digital
technolgies and mobility initiatives that change how it conducts its business.
Capital is judiciously used, and achieving enhanced capital productivity is a priority across Reliance’s businesses
to create competitive advantage.
Reliance remains committed to achieve the highest levels of operating efficiencies and effectiveness across all its
activities, both customer facing and internal. A mindset for continuous improvement and processes forms the
bedrock of all its operations.
Reliance is committed to conduct all its initiatives with the highest levels of integrity.

OVERVIEW
The global economy in FY 2014-15 witnessed divergent
trends among major economies and stress on major oil
producing countries as a direct result of sharp decline in
energy prices, especially in the second half of the year.
Strong growth in oil output from non-OPEC (Organisation
of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) producers, coupled
with weak demand in some key consumption economies
led to an oversupplied oil market, precipitating a sharp
decline in oil prices, during the year. The decline in oil
prices was further accentuated by OPEC’s decision not
to cut back production in their respective countries.
A sustained lower oil price environment will benefit
commodity importing countries, such as India. Falling
energy prices have significantly improved India’s overall
fiscal landscape, and augur well for growth in domestic
consumption.
Despite unpredictable headwinds, the global economic
recovery is gaining momentum. These winds of positive
change have masked the growth divergence among
major economies.
Specifically, the recovery in United States was stronger
than expected, while performance in Japan and Eurozone
has fallen short of expectations. This has resulted in the
dollar appreciating vis-à-vis other G7 currencies. The
currencies of commodity exporting countries weakened
due to fiscal and trade imbalances.
India’s economy is poised to return to its high-growth
path, thanks to lower fiscal and current account deficits,
falling inflation, benign commodity prices, and structural
reforms to boost investments. Monetary policy is also
likely to be supportive with the Reserve Bank of India
(RBI) having moved to flexible inflation targeting. The
manufacturing sector is likely to benefit from lower
interest rates. The share of investments in Gross Domestic
Product (GDP) is at 29% (compared to 33% in 2007) and
is expected to pick up. However, productivity and capital
efficiency improvement are likely to drive near-term
growth.
Despite the significant decline in commodity prices,
Reliance
Industries Limited (RIL) delivered a robust
financial performance, led by record earnings from the
refining business. The dramatic fall in crude oil prices
in
impacted RIL’s upstream business, and resulted
lower revenues and stock values for the refining and
petrochemical businesses. However, the benefits from
demand revival, strong product margins and lower energy
costs outweighed inventory effects, and both refining and
petrochemical businesses ended the year on a strong
note. In FY 2014-15, Reliance (consolidated RIL) achieved:
Highest ever consolidated net profit of ` 23,566 crore
($ 3.8 billion)
Record Refining EBIT of ` 15,827 crore ($ 2.5 billion),
Gross Refining Margins (GRM) of $ 8.6/barrel (bbl)
Dividend of 100%, payout of ` 3,559 crore ($ 569
million)
Operationally, RIL continues to optimally utilise its best-
in-class downstream assets, with near full utilisation
levels in most petrochemical units. RIL processed 67.9
million metric tonnes (MMT) of crude oil at its Jamnagar
rate.
refinery complex, achieving 110% operating
Continuing its emphasis on processing challenging and
most advantageous crudes, RIL processed 13 new crudes
during the year. The crude sourcing strategy was driven
by continuous adjustment of sourcing pattern based
on relative economics. The ability to operate at high
utilisation levels and switch product slate to suit market
conditions enable RIL to capture margin optimisation
opportunities in the market.
RIL ranked 114th in the Fortune Global 500 list of the
World’s Largest Corporations in terms of revenues, and was

year that RIL has featured in the Fortune Global 500 list.
HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY EVENTS
Reliance delivered an
industry-leading performance
across its refining and petrochemicals business, despite a
challenging crude market environment. Its international
upstream business demonstrated strong volume growth,
(E&P)
whilst domestic Exploration and Production
business witnessed lower production due to geological
complexities and natural decline in the fields. Reliance
also made substantial progress on various projects in
the refining and petrochemicals business during the
year. These initiatives are expected to create significant
value for its stakeholders. Furthermore, strong growth
momentum was maintained in its consumer-facing retail
business.
Refining and Marketing – Record earnings
The refining business delivered record earnings, driven
by strong underlying business performance. Refining
margins were robust on the back of healthy product
cracks and lower energy costs. The year’s key highlight
was the dramatic decline in crude prices. Continuous
non-OPEC crude oil production growth, led by the US,
partial return of Libyan barrels, muted oil demand growth
resulted in an oversupplied crude market, leading to a
sharp decline in crude oil prices. The fall of oil price was
further accentuated by OPEC’s decision not to cut back
production in their respective countries. RIL’s refining
margins at $ 8.6/bbl significantly outperformed regional
benchmarks as the superior configuration of its refineries
enabled it to benefit from strong light product cracks,
favourable crude differentials and stable middle distillate
cracks.
Petrochemicals – Focus on capacity creation
Petrochemical business EBIT margins improved to 8.6%
from 8.1% in the previous year. The improvement in EBIT
margins were aided by firm polymer and polyester deltas,
partly offset by weak fibre intermediates deltas.
RIL successfully stabilised the production at its new
Polyester Filament Yarn (PFY) facility at Silvassa, which had
started production towards the end of the last financial
year. This expansion has further strengthened RIL’s
position among the world’s largest producers of polyester
fibre and yarn. The new PFY plant at Silvassa is the most
automated and one of the most environment-friendly
plants globally.
During the year, RIL also started production at its new
150 kilo tonnes per annum (KTPA) capacity Styrene
Butadiene Rubber (SBR) plant at Hazira, which is also
India’s largest plant. The plant has capability to produce
an entire range of dry as well as oil extended grades of
emulsion SBR. With this, RIL has reaffirmed its leadership
in synthetic rubbers in the Indian market.
During FY 2014-15, RIL also expanded its Poly-Butadiene
Rubber (PBR) capacity. With the start-up of new PBR
capacity at Hazira, RIL is expected to increase its domestic
market share as substantial portion of production from
new line will be placed in the domestic market.
RIL has also started new Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET)
resin facility at Dahej, Gujarat. The plant consists of two
lines with a combined manufacturing capacity of 650
KTPA. This is one of the largest bottle-grade PET resin
capacity at a single location globally. This will consolidate
RIL’s position as a leading PET resin producer with a
global capacity of 1.15 million metric tonnes per annum
(MMTPA).
RIL also started new Purified Terepthalic Acid (PTA) plant
at Dahej, Gujarat. The plant with a capacity of 1150 KTPA is
built with ‘Invista technology’. This state-of-the-art facility
is highly energy efficient and environment friendly. With
this facility, RIL’s total PTA capacity will increase to 3.2
MMTPA and global capacity share to 4%.
RIL announced a project to source 1.5 MMTPA of ethane
from the US to feed its crackers in India. RIL executed
storage and capacity agreements for liquefaction and
export of ethane with a North American terminal, which
is expected to commence operations in the second half
of 2016. RIL also placed orders for building of Very Large
Ethane Carriers (VLECs) in a Korean yard and entered into
a shipping management agreement to ensure end-to-
end integration. RIL has initiated discussions with major
ethane suppliers in North America for long term sourcing
arrangements. The project is expected to significantly
improve the long term competitiveness of its cracker
portfolio through dedicated feedstock, enhanced margins
and higher capacity.
Oil and Gas Exploration and Production - Sustained
performance
International - Growth in Shale gas business
The US shale gas business witnessed macro headwinds,
with a sharp downturn in commodity prices, especially in
the case of oil. But operationally, the business continued
its strong performance, with production at record levels.
During the Calendar Year (CY) 2014, gross JV production
averaged at ~1.2 Billion Cubic Feet equivalent per day
(BCFe/d), reflecting 26% y-o-y growth. The US shale
business delivered EBIT of $ 402 million, an increase of
36.3% on y-o-y basis.
During the year, RIL and Myanma Oil & Gas Enterprise
(MOGE), an enterprise of the Government of Myanmar
signed a production sharing contract for two offshore
blocks (M17 and M18)
in the Tanintharyi basin of
Myanmar. RIL will be the operator of the blocks with a
96% participating interest. The United National Resources
Development Services Co. Ltd. (UNRD), a Myanmar
company, will hold the remaining interest in the block.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED)
Domestic
Gas production from the KG-D6 field declined by 12% to
157.6 Billion Cubic Feet (BCF) in FY 2014-15. Efforts by RIL
and its JV partners to augment production from the field
through interventions like side-track wells and onshore
terminal booster compressor helped partly offset the
natural decline in the field.
During the year, RIL made significant progress towards
development of two Coal Bed Methane (CBM) blocks,
Sohagpur East and Sohagpur West. Detailed engineering
and construction activities have been completed. RIL
expects first gas production from these blocks during
FY 2015-16.
In October 2014, Government of India (GoI) notified the
New Domestic Natural Gas Guidelines, 2014. Based on
the new guidelines, domestic gas prices in the period
from November 2014 to March 2015 were set at $ 5.05/
Million British Thermal Units (MMBTU) on Gross Calorific
Value basis.
Retail Business – Gaining growth momentum
Reliance Retail continued its growth momentum, despite
a challenging macroeconomic environment. Its revenues
for FY 2014-15 increased by 21.2% to ` 17,640 crore, while
EBIT was at ` 417 crore. The retail business achieved several
new milestones during the year. The Company enhanced
its presence across various format sectors. Reliance Retail
now operates 2,621 stores across 200 cities, with over
12.5 million square feet of space. Reliance Trends now
operates over 200 stores and sells over 1,50,000 pieces
of garments per day. Reliance Digital operates over 1,100
stores and the Digital Express Mini format has established
itself as the country’s largest mobile phone retail chain.
Reliance Market further consolidated its position as the
largest cash-and-carry operator in the country, with 43
operational stores and patronage of more than 1.5 million
registered members.
Jio Infocomm– Building infrastructure to roll out
digital services
Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited (RJIL), a subsidiary of RIL,
is setting up a pan-India telecom network to cater to the
highly underserviced Indian market, reliable high speed
internet connectivity (4th generation), rich communication
services and various digital services in key domains, such
as education, healthcare, security, financial services,
government-citizen interfaces and entertainment. RJIL
aims to provide anytime, anywhere access to innovative
and empowering digital content, applications and
services, thereby propelling India into global leadership in
digital economy.
RJIL has made significant progress in building its 4G-LTE
(Long Term Evolution) business,
including physical
network
infrastructure, systems and processes, sales
and distribution network, applications and services
and content, among others. It is working with strategic
partners who have committed significant resources,
knowhow and global talent to support deployment and
testing activities currently underway.
During the year, RJIL successfully acquired the right to use
spectrum in 800 MHz band or 1800 MHz band or both in 13
key circles across India in the spectrum auction conducted
by Department of Telecommunication (DoT), GoI. RJIL plans
to provide seamless 4G services, using LTE technology in
800 MHz, 1800 MHz and 2300 MHz bands through an
integrated ecosystem. With this new spectrum, in addition
to the pan-India 2300 MHz spectrum, RJIL has spectrum
in either 800 MHz or 1800 MHz or both in 20 out of total
22 circles
in the country. This combined spectrum
footprint across frequency bands provides significant
network capacity and deep coverage.
Media and Entertainment
During the year, Independent Media Trust (IMT) of
which RIL is the sole beneficiary, acquired the control of
Network18 Media & Investments Limited (Network18)
including its subsidiary TV18 Broadcast Limited (TV18).
This acquisition will differentiate Reliance’s Jio business
by providing a unique amalgamation at the intersect of
telecom, web and digital commerce via a suite of premier
digital properties.
Other Corporate Highlights
During FY 2014-15, RIL issued Rule 144A/Regulation S
Senior Unsecured Notes of $ 1.0 billion for a tenure of 10
years and $ 750 million for 30 years. The 10-year Notes
were the lowest coupon Notes ever issued by RIL. The 30
year Notes were issued at the lowest coupon ever achieved
by an Asian private corporate issuer for a 30-year issuance.
The 10-year Note issuance was the largest private sector
oil and gas deal out of Asia (ex-Japan) since the last RIL
guaranteed bond issued in 2012. RIL continues to be the
only Rule 144A/Regulation S 30-year private corporate
issuer out of Asia since 2003.
Corporate Social Responsibility
During the year, RIL has contributed ` 761 crore (previous
year ` 712 crore) towards Corporate Social Responsibility
(CSR) which is 3.35% (previous year 3.24%) of profit after
tax for the year.

compensating for weaker fibre intermediates deltas. Oil &
Gas segment EBIT grew by 13% to ` 3,181 crore, led by
strong growth in US shale volumes.
Reliance achieved a turnover of ` 3,88,494 crore ($ 62.2
billion) for the year ended 31st March, 2015, a decrease of
13.0%, as compared to ` 4,46,339 crore in the previous
year. The decline in turnover reflects sharp fall in crude oil
prices during the second half of the year. Crude oil price
averaged at $ 85.4/bbl for the year, a fall of 21% on y-o-y
basis. With decrease in oil and product prices, exports
from India were lower by 17.1% at ` 2,28,651 crore ($ 36.6

segment revenues were lower by 16% on y-o-y basis
reflecting lower average crude oil and product prices.
Petrochemicals business accounted for 20% of
revenues, lower by 7% on y-o-y basis as product
prices declined along with sharp fall in feedstock and
crude oil prices.
Oil & Gas business revenue grew by 6%, compared to
previous year primarily on account of 27% increase
in shale gas production which was partially offset by
lower production from Panna-Mukta, Tapti and KG-D6
block in India.
Operating profit before other income and depreciation
increased by 7.3% on a y-o-y basis from ` 34,799 crore to
` 37,364 crore ($ 6.0 billion).
Strong operating performance from the refining business
and stable petrochemicals business performance led
to higher operating profits. Refining segment EBIT
recorded a robust 18% growth on y-o-y basis to ` 15,827

cost. Petrochemical segment EBIT remained stable at
` 8,291 crore ($ 1.3 billion), with strong polymer deltas
Other income was lower at ` 8,495 crore ($ 1.4 billion)
as against ` 8,911 crore in the previous year, primarily
on account of lower average investments. Other income
includes interest income of ` 4,513 crore and investment
income of ` 3,516 crore.
Interest cost was lower at ` 3,316 crore ($ 531 million) as
against ` 3,836 crore in FY 2013-14. Interest capitalised
was higher at ` 4,409 crore ($ 705 million) as against
` 1,758 crore last year, on account of ongoing expansion
projects in the petrochemicals, refining, US shale gas
business and also broadband access project.
Depreciation (including depletion and amortisation) was
marginally higher at ` 11,547 crore ($ 1.8 billion) as against
` 11,201 crore in FY 2013-14. This was primarily on account
of higher depletion charges in US shale gas business,
which was in line with increase in production.
Profit after tax for the year was at ` 23,566 crore ($ 3.8

Market environment - Global
Second half oil demand recovery with fall in oil prices
OECD demand reduced by 0.5 MMBPD due to lower
consumption in Europe and Japan, non-OECD demand
grew by 1.1 MMBPD. Sluggish Chinese demand and
improved energy efficiency in non-OECD countries have
led to the slowdown in demand growth. This year’s oil
demand growth is marked by two contrasting halves.
Sluggish Chinese demand, improving efficiency standards,
especially in the OECD economies led to a marginal
decline in oil demand in the first half of 2014.
The steep fall in oil prices has had a significant macro-
economic impact on oil producers and consumers. It
benefited oil importers with higher disposable income

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
for consumers and lower costs in the production of final
goods. For many importers, the boost from lower oil
prices, while sizable, is somewhat muted by the recent
currency depreciation against the US dollar. This implies
a smaller oil price decline in domestic currency. On the
other hand, oil exporters’ real incomes and profits have
generally decreased.
But overall the sharp decline in oil prices boosted
consumption leading to a strong growth in the second
half of 2014. In 2014, average oil demand grew by
0.7 MMBPD to 92.5 MMBPD.
Oil markets remained oversupplied, dominated by non-
OPEC supply
On the supply side, overall crude oil supply increased by
2.0 MMBPD in 2014, driven entirely by non-OPEC supply,
leaving OPEC production more or less flat.
Geo-political tension and social unrest in several major
oil exporting countries in the Middle East and Africa was
overshadowed by persistent oversupply in the oil market.
The main feature was the growth in US oil production
which surged by 1.6 MMBPD
in 2014. Significant
production increase in Iraq (0.25 MMBPD), Canada (0.25
MMBPD) and Brazil (0.19 MMBPD) also contributed
to overall supply. Post the steep oil price drop in the
second half of 2014, most upstream players in the US
have announced very significant cut in their capex
programme. This may restrict growth in US shale oil
production from the second half of 2015.
Oil prices collapsed by over 50%, after remaining range-
bound for nearly 3 years
This gap between supply growth of 2.0 MMBPD and
demand of less than 1 MMBPD had put pressure on OPEC
to cut production. Oil prices had traded in a range of $100
– $115/bbl from 2010 until around mid-June of 2014.
The average Brent price was $ 109/bbl from January to
June in 2014, but then started to drift down and then by
September moved sharply lower. This was triggered by
Saudi Arabia clearly signalling its unwillingness to absorb
the excess supply, so prices had to fall to make storage
economics work in the near term and in the medium term
trigger the actions to balance supply and demand.
investments. This
The steep fall in crude prices has led to a reduction in
planned upstream
is expected to
have short-term and long-term effects. The decline in
investments in the US shale oil may have an early impact
on reduction in oil production, while decline in other high
cost E&P investments by oil majors could have long-term
consequences on future crude supplies.

Refining margins supported by lower fuel costs and
higher product cracks specially Light ends
Lower fuel costs on the back of low oil prices, frequent
unplanned outages and delays in new refinery start-
ups, supported the margins. New refinery additions and
expansions in existing refineries were partly offset by
closures in the US, Europe and Japan, leading to a net
capacity addition of about 0.6 MMBPD, compared to
demand growth of 0.7 MMBPD. Lower oil prices and higher
margins led to an increase in average refinery utilisation
rates in North America (86.9% in FY 2014-15 compared
to 85.1% in FY 2013-14) and Europe (80.7% in FY 2014-15
compared to 78.2% in FY 2013-14). In Asia, operating rates
were almost flat at 83.5% in FY 2014-15.

Gasoline cracks remained supported on robust demand
growth in the US, China and India. In the US, falling
pump prices pushed gasoline demand particularly in
the last few months of the year. Chinese passenger car
sales continued to grow, even though at a lower rate,
compared to the previous year. In India, narrowing of
gasoline – diesel price differential, supported demand for
more gasoline cars through the year. Naphtha cracks held
relatively stronger during the first half of FY 2014-15, amid
a demand escalation from Asian petrochemical sector and

some unplanned outages. Naphtha strength continued in
the last quarter supported by both petrochemicals and
gasoline demand.
Middle distillates
Middle distillates (both diesel and jet/kerosene) weakened
when compared to last year, mostly on slow demand
growth in major consuming countries like China, India
and Indonesia. Cracks got some support due to falling
crude prices. Gasoil cracks gained some strength in the
last quarter as China’s effort to stimulate its economy by
cutting interest rates supported demand, and low pump
prices in India aided a demand recovery especially during
the last quarter of the year.
Jet cracks were weak during the first half of the year;
however bounced back in the second half on improved air
travel demand and maintenance/unplanned outages in
Europe and the US, which tightened the supplies.
Fuel oil
Fuel Oil (FO) cracks were weak at the beginning of the year
on tepid bunker demand, but picked up in the second half
on low outright prices and improving bunker demand.
Crude differentials
Arab Light – Heavy crude differentials widened marginally
to $ 4.3/bbl in FY 2014-15 as compared to $ 4.2/bbl in
the previous year. Heavier crudes, particularly from Latin
American sources continue to be available with incremental
light oil supply in North America. While new refineries
getting built are increasingly complex and require heavy
crudes as feedstock, crude production increase is more on
the lighter side over the next few years leading to possibly
narrowing of Light-Heavy differentials in the medium term.
RIL continued to outperform regional benchmarks
RIL refining margins outperformed Singapore benchmark
yet again, with a premium of $ 2.3/bbl over the benchmark
during FY 2014-15. Relative performance versus
benchmarks was built on advantaged configuration to
secure higher value product yields, wider selection of
crudes, operational efficiency and record throughputs.
Jetty at Jamnagar
Strong margins in the second half of the year and lower
energy costs were the key drivers for record earnings.
However, fall in oil prices impacted the value of the
inventories, as seen in lower margins for the third quarter.

In October 2014, GoI announced deregulation of High
Speed Diesel (HSD) prices leading to re-opening of fuel
retailing outlets by the private sector. Post announcement
of deregulation, prices of Motor Spirit (MS) and HSD are
being changed in-line with international prices. This has
presented an opportunity for RIL to re-enter the domestic
retail market and ramp-up volumes to compete with local
players.
Between 2006 and now, industry volumes have doubled
from 40 MMTPA in 2006 to 80 MMTPA. Demand for
transportation fuels is expected to grow in line with
growth in the country’s GDP. The retail network has
increased from 31,000 in 2006 to over 53,000 outlets with
majority owned by public sector units.

Major Projects – Petcoke Gasification
Petcoke gasification project is designed to convert low-
value petroleum coke into high value syngas for further
use as fuels and for hydrogen and chemicals production.
This project would not only cause a steep reduction in
LNG imports thus increasing self-sufficiency in energy at
Jamnagar, but would also allow to manufacture various
other value-added chemicals, such as acetic acid by
chemical conversion of syngas which is produced by
gasification of petroleum coke.
The gasification project, being based on the ‘E-gas

PETROCHEMICALS
RIL

is among
petrochemicals with global scale capacities across the
polymer and polyester chain. Vertical integration from
oil & gas to refining and downstream petrochemical
products is among RIL’s key competitive advantage. This
provides RIL feedstock security, scalability and economies
of scale. RIL is the pre-eminent petrochemical company in
India with a product portfolio spanning across polymers,
polyester, fibre intermediates, elastomers and chemicals.
The deep integration within each chain helps RIL mitigate
the impact of price volatility in the global energy and
chemical industry. RIL also has a diversified feedstock
slate, with both naphtha and gas based crackers, which
helps to mitigate risk involved with different feedstock
cycles. World-scale capacities and integration help RIL in
achieving industry-leading profitability with enhanced
stability.
RIL constantly focuses on technology, cost improvements
and safe practices, while continuing to invest in new
growth opportunities. RIL believes that this strategy is also
important in maintaining domestic market leadership
in its major product lines and is a source of competitive
advantage.
Market environment and outlook
FY 2014-15 provided the petrochemical industry with
both challenges and opportunities. The steep decline
in global energy prices during the second half of the
year was compounded by increased supply from the
US markets, leading to a sharp decline in petrochemical
feedstock and product prices. The impact of the steep
drop in commodity petrochemical prices was felt across
the petrochemical chain and resulted
in significant
destocking for the industry in 3Q FY 2014-15. However,
stabilisation of product prices at lower levels is likely to
aid a faster revival of demand growth. Petrochemical
consumption is correlated to global economic growth.
Improving macro-economic activity levels is likely to drive
demand for petrochemical end uses that encompass most
consumer goods, such as appliances, electronics and
automobiles; construction or industrial uses as solvents,
coatings as well as packaging.

Northeast Asia and North America remain the world’s
largest ethylene producing regions. However, recent large
investments in the Middle East have propelled this region
into the group of the largest-producing regions, and it
has now surpassed West Europe in respect to ethylene
production. The low cost position of the US Gulf Coast,
due to the ethane advantage that has developed over the
past several years, with increasing shale gas production,
is resulting in new grassroots steam cracker investments.
Mostly, propylene is produced as a co-product in steam
crackers or a by-product in refineries. Feedstock changes
and/or utilisation rate changes
impacts propylene
production. RIL produces a large part of propylene as a by-
product of refinery, which helps the Company to take full
advantage from refinery integration. Propylene demand is
dominated by polypropylene production. Polypropylene
is expected to remain the largest propylene derivative,
and has historically grown at very high rates due to its low
cost and versatility.

Annual Report 2014-15
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED)
Asian cracker operating rates were higher in FY 2014-15
with an improvement in naphtha cracking fundamentals
and a healthy demand environment.
Lower crude oil prices impacted the ethylene cash cost
curve as naphtha prices tracked crude lower during the
second half of FY 2014-15. This improved the cash cost
economics of liquid based crackers, as against crackers
based on other feedstock, resulting in a flattening of the
global ethylene cash cost curve. Lower crude prices are
also impacting the competitiveness of coal-to-chemicals
plants with erosion of the spread between coal and oil
prices. While North American gas cracking is still at the
low end of the cost curve, the reduced margins could lead
to a more evenly distributed build-out of ethane based
crackers with some already announced (but not yet under
construction) projects being pushed out.
Global thermoplastics market in 2014 was estimated at
224 MMT. PE accounted for 38%, PP 26% and PVC 18%, of
the market. Demand for these polymers (PE, PP, PVC) grew
by 3.8% during 2014 driven by Indian subcontinent, North
East Asia (NEA), South East Asia (SEA) and the Middle East.
The demand for these polymer products is likely to grow
at a CAGR of 4% over 2014-19 period.

Average naphtha prices in Asia were lower in FY 2014-
15 due to ample supply and drop in crude oil prices.
However, from 2Q FY 2014-15 naphtha prices firmed up
due to higher gasoline cracks, increased demand from
NEA/SEA and refinery turnarounds. On a y-o-y basis
ethylene prices were down by 5% and lagged the decline
in feedstock naphtha prices, which was down 18% during
the same period. Ethylene prices rebounded in 4Q FY
2014-15, due to supply constraints and improved demand.
Ethylene supply in Asia is likely to stay tight due to limited
incremental supplies.

Polymer deltas remained healthy during FY 2014-15, as
feedstock prices declined sharply and demand remained
stable. On a y-o-y basis, PP deltas improved sharply as
decline in propylene prices (with lower downstream
activity in China in a well-supplied market) was sharper
than the decline in polypropylene prices, which were
supported by firm demand. PE delta also remained strong
on a y-o-y basis as feedstock prices tracked falling crude
oil price. Relatively higher ethylene prices compared to
naphtha helped in supporting High Density Poly Ethylene
(HDPE) prices, resulting in high HDPE-Naphtha deltas.
Polymers:
The year witnessed a sharp decline in feedstock and
product prices. Year-end prices of naphtha and olefins
were down 12-43%, compared to prices at the beginning
of the year. Polymer prices also declined on an absolute
basis, with year-end prices 15-19% lower than prices at the
beginning of the year.
Polyester and Fibre Intermediates
Polyester: Polyester markets faced challenges during the
year as feedstock volatility was accentuated by capacity
additions, which were significantly ahead of demand
growth. As with other hydrocarbon chains, prices for
feedstock and final products witnessed a steep decline
during the year, with price declines ranging from 12-41%.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
2.2 MMT compared to a demand growth of under 2.0
MMT. In addition to the overcapacity in the filament
yarn segment, higher raw material cost and consequent
declining margins during the first half forced producers
to rationalise operations. During the third quarter, raw
material costs saw a decline with the steep drop in energy
prices. While polyester fibre and yarn prices were also
lower by ~25% from their peak in June 2014, the lag in
price drops supported polyester deltas. FY 2014-15
margins of Partially Oriented Yarn (POY) and Polyester
Staple Fibre (PSF) were higher by 20% on y-o-y basis.
Cotton production of 26.3 MMT in FY 2014-15 remained
higher than consumption for the fifth consecutive
season. Along with this, the Chinese policy of limiting
cotton purchases for the year weighed on prices which
ended 23% lower than last year. However, with the steep
drop in polyester prices towards the later part of the
year, polyester v/s cotton price difference stayed above
long-term levels, at $ 500/MT, mitigating the threat of
substitution in blends.
The outlook for the coming year is favourable for polyester
as the declining cotton prices globally has discouraged
cotton farming
in major cotton growing countries,
leading to a lower cotton acreage for the next season.
This could lead to production falling below consumption
for the first time in five years and support cotton prices.
Indian polyester demand is expected to reach a level of
around 6 MMT, at a CAGR of around 8 % by end of 2020.
Global PET markets witnessed a series of new capacity
additions during the year amounting to 1.5 MMT,
compared to lower demand growth of 0.6 MMT. Overall
market balance weakened even though some capacities
were taken off for extended periods especially in China.
Prices during the year declined steadily apart from a short
spurt during second quarter, average prices for the year
were 15% lower than last year. Margins however improved
in the second half of the year amid the drop in feedstock
costs and ended the year 5% higher on a y-o-y basis. In
most emerging markets, demand was strong reflecting
better consumer spending. Several countries started anti-
dumping investigations against China. Europe withdrew
Polyester Bobbins at Silvassa
an agreement with Indian producers, resulting in higher
anti-dumping and anti-subsidy duties from India. The use
of food grade Recycled PET (RPET) increased in the US
and Europe, amid new capacity addition. But with prices
of virgin PET dropping, the use of recycled content as a
choice becomes difficult.
Fibre intermediates: During the year, overcapacity in the
fibre intermediate markets led to a decline in prices and
margins. Paraxylene (PX) demand uncertainty, along with
capacity anticipations, kept markets cautious and contract
prices remained unsettled for most part of the year.
Deltas continued to be above break-even levels though
they were 27% lower than previous year. PX witnessed a
bunching up of capacity additions during the second half
of the year, with 4.7 MMT total additions during the year
compared to demand growth of 1.4 MMTPA.
The Chinese PTA markets have witnessed large capacity
addition during the past years, changing market dynamics
significantly. Poor margins forced producers to shut down
unviable plants or implement production rationalisation.
The average PTA prices during the year declined by
20% from that of last year. Delta continued to be under
pressure due to the overcapacity and averaged at
$ 108/MT as against $ 117/MT in the previous year.
Mono-Ethylene Glycol (MEG) markets were largely guided
by the upstream markets and co-feedstock PTA demand
patterns. The average MEG prices during the year declined
by 13% from that of last year and average deltas were
lower by 6% on a year on year basis.

Chemicals and Elastomers
Benzene: The expected oversupply of benzene at the
beginning of the year in the Asian region was pushed
back due to delays in commissioning of plants in Korea,
Singapore and India. However, as the year progressed
start-up of new capacities during the third quarter
resulted in bunching of new supplies, along with the
declining global energy markets resulted in price and
margin decline during the year.
Linear Alkyl Benzene (LAB): LAB markets were weighed
down by the continuous uncertainty in the upstream
markets which was coupled with overcapacity. In the
absence of adequate Chinese domestic demand, most
producers opted for exports resulting in price competition,

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED)
affecting the overall industry profitability. Continuing
volatility and declining feedstock prices led to cautious
buying.
Butadiene: During 2014, the global capacity of butadiene
was at 14.5 MMTPA with 76.4% operating rate. Demand
saw subdued growth of 5.2% y-o-y, driven by synthetic
rubber demand primarily catering to the automobile
industry. SBR and PBR markets in Asia were weak in 2014
and demand is yet to recover. Most butadiene consuming
plants in Asia, especially China have been operating at
reduced rates due to weaker downstream demand. This
has put pressure on butadiene prices, resulting in severe
margin erosion for butadiene manufacturers towards the
end of the year.
PBR: Demand for PBR is largely driven by growth in
the automobile sector. The global automobile industry
grew by 3% to reach 86.9 million units in 2014. Global
PBR consumption for FY 2014-15 remained weak and
is expected to grow at 5% in 2015. Significant capacity
addition in China during 2014, coupled with the slowdown
in global economy kept the operating rates of PBR plants
at lower levels (~67%). Major manufacturers in China and
Korea, operated plants at lower rates of 40-50% due to
weak regional demand.
Domestic Scenario
Polymers: India’s polymer market growth enjoys high
correlation with the country’s GDP growth. In the last five
years, the country’s per capita plastic consumption has
outpaced its GDP growth, making India among the world’s
fastest growing polymer markets with a five-year CAGR of
7.1% (2009-2014). Despite strong growth over the last few
decades, the domestic market remains under-penetrated
compared to other Asian developing countries.
In India, polymer demand continued to be healthy
during FY 2014-15, also supported by lower absolute
prices towards the end of the year. During FY 2014-15,
India’s polymer demand was higher by 6.7%. PP demand
grew by 8.1% y-o-y with improved demand from raffia
packaging, nonwoven, multi filament, automotive,
hygiene applications and appliances sector. PE demand
was higher by 6.3% due to firm demand from film
packaging, moulded products (i.e. FMCG, pharma and
food packaging), and paper/woven sacks lamination
packaging sector. PVC domestic demand was higher by
5.4% with higher demand from pipe and fitting sector.
Overall, with improving business sentiment and a revival
in investment cycle, demand is likely to see higher growth
in the medium term.
Polyester and Fibre Intermediates: Feedstock fluctuations
in the international markets and the steep drop in the
latter part of the year led to cautious buying behaviour
by the industry. In addition, severe cash crunch and
longer cash cycles resulted in need-based buying. Overall
polyester demand increased by 7% during the year,
led by Fully Drawn Yarn (FDY) and PET. Overall growth
was constrained by high volatility of prices and reduced
liquidity with customers.
FDY witnessed healthy growth from warp knitting
segments, while PET witnessed stable growth owing to
delayed monsoons during the first half. Shipments during
the second half were limited on account of the price
volatility and lean season.
Domestic cotton production
increased during the
seasonal year, owing to higher acreage, making India
the largest producer globally. The high production has
resulted in prices dropping by 20% during the year, as the
exports to China also declined.
Indian polyester
in advantageous
industry will be
position with growth of consumer demand and strong
manufacturing base enabling India to serve as regional
polyester manufacturing hub.
Elastomers
Indian butadiene demand grew by ~43% to 171 KTPA as
against an installed capacity of 435 KTPA, making it a net
exporter in the global markets. Domestic demand growth
increase was primarily driven by additional capacities in
downstream synthetic rubber plants.
India’s demand for PBR in 2014 is around 191 KT and is
expected to grow at 8% annually in the medium term.
India is a net importer of PBR and is likely to remain an
importer even after start-up of announced capacity
addition in 2017-18. RIL has successfully commercialised
its new PBR plant, effectively reducing imports and
increasing its domestic market share.
India’s demand for SBR is estimated at 250 KT and is likely
to grow at 6-8% annually in the medium term. India is
currently a net importer of SBR. RIL has started 150 KTPA
SBR plant at Hazira and expects to stabilise the same in the
coming months.

margins were higher at 8.6% as product deltas held up
well despite lower absolute product prices.
During the year, product prices were lower by around 8%
on y-o-y basis. The steep decline witnessed during the
second half of the year continued to weigh on the overall
sentiments and markets remained cautious and highly
sensitive to even minor moves in crude oil price.
The sharp meltdown in the global hydrocarbon prices last
year impacted buyer’s behaviour, leading to destocking
by downstream players. Stability in prices is expected to
support demand revival. Continued lower band of energy
prices should also be supportive of demand due to price
elasticity.

has 27% market share in the domestic market. RIL placed
significant volumes of PP in the international market
while PE and PVC are largely sold in the domestic market.
PP Plant at Jamnagar
RIL took a planned turnaround at its Hazira manufacturing
site. This opportunity was utilised to carry out other
routine maintenance and turnaround activities to increase
productivity. With advance planning and
inventory
management, impact on external sales was minimal.

Nonwoven and in-turn facilitate import-substitution.
Geo-synthetics are man-made products, used to stabilise
terrain and solve civil engineering problems. Impact of
geo-synthetics includes increase in service life of the
structure, reduction in maintenance cost and conservation
of natural resources.
RIL polyethylene team is working on concept promotion
of flexible silos made up of multilayer PE films for food
grain storage. These silos provide ease of handling,
installation and cost effective storage systems against the
constructed warehouses. These silos have huge potential
in reducing the food grain wastage across the country.
Polyesters: Reliance is committed for a greener world and
continuously strives to make products, which save natural
resources and reduce carbon footprint. Reliance has
introduced Recron Green Gold using recycled feedstock.
During the year, Reliance added various products in
apparel fibre and yarn segment as;
Recron® Lite – Imparts better bounce, used for extra-
light dress materials
Recron® Lnlyk and Recron® Linen – Special textured
and FDY for imparting linen like look and used for
variety of fabrics
Recron® Sparkle – Additional shiny appearance for
rugs, fancy yarn and hand knitting
Recron® Recro Bulk Sparkle – Additional bulk and
shine for rugs, fancy yarn and hand knitting
Recron® Fancy Effect fibre – Small cut length fibres –
6mm,12mm,18mm and are used for fancy effect in
yarns, fabric and garments
Reliance under its Recron Certified Product range has
launched a variety of products as;
Sleep Tunes – India’s first music pillow with embedded
speakers, which allows users to enjoy their favourite
music while sleeping
Ergo Pillow – It is a unique combination of memory
foam and micro fibre and provides an ergonomical
sleep design
Reliance developed 2 litre PET bottles with pinch grip for
mustard oil for export markets. Reliance has collaborated
with one of the largest dairy producers in India to pioneer
the introduction of PET bottles in the dairy segment.
Elastomers: In elastomers, development is considered
an essential growth factor. This was the stimulus behind
setting up of world class Elastomer Customer Support
Centre (ECSC), as a platform to invite customers for
collaborative efforts, and joint projects to develop new
applications for synthetic rubber in Vadodara.
Capex and growth plans
RIL started phase-1 PTA capacity of 1150 KTPA and 650
KTPA of PET capacity at Dahej. Both these plants are
expected to stabilise operations in the coming months
and will be advantageously positioned to reap the
benefits of integration.
RIL has successfully commissioned its new PBR plant. RIL
has started 150 KTPA of SBR plant during the year which is
expected to stabilise in the coming months. Additionally,
RIL has broken ground for its 100 KTPA butyl rubber facility
in partnership with Sibur at Jamnagar. During the year,
RIL successfully debottlenecked PVC capacity at Dahej,
adding 100 KTPA to PVC capacity.
Refinery Off-Gas Cracker (ROGC): India’s PE demand in
2014 was 3.8 MMT and expected to grow by 8-10% in the
medium term. The market remains supply-constrained;
higher domestic availability and new applications are
expected to augment demand. To meet the increasing
domestic demand, RIL is setting up a new 1.4 MMTPA
ethylene cracker (ROGC) along with downstream PE
capacity of 1 MMTPA at Jamnagar. The cracker will
use refinery off gases as feedstock which will provide
competitive cost advantage and feedstock flexibility to
the petrochemicals business. The new ROGC cracker is also
integrated with downstream MEG to have chain margin
advantage of its in-house consumption in polyester chain.
The new cracker is likely to be among the world’s largest
ethylene crackers and will secure the benefits of economies
of scale. This is the first cracker based entirely on refinery
off gases, leveraging the scale of RIL’s refining complex at
Jamnagar, and as such is not replicable. ROGC will have
one of the largest ethylene derivative plants including
swing polyethylene (with metallocene capability), LDPE
and MEG.
Additionally, by virtue of integration with Company’s
existing refineries at the same site, the plant will be in
the top decile in terms of global cost competitiveness
on an integrated basis and for all new capacity being
built. Currently, ROGC project is in an advanced stage
of execution. Renowned EPC companies with global

Majority of engineering deliverables for procurement and
construction have been issued. RIL is also undertaking
debottlenecking activities for PP at Jamnagar which is
likely to augment capacity by 60 KTPA.
Market environment and outlook
With the fall in oil prices, many US producers have
responded to the situation by cutting back on drilling
activity and rig counts have dropped by nearly 50%,
since their peak in October 2014. The fall in rig count will,
however, start impacting the US oil production only from
the second half of 2015.
As a part of providing feedstock flexibility and long-term
supply security to existing crackers, RIL initiated projects
for imports of ethane from the US. This will ensure long-
term feedstock competitiveness. RIL is implementing a
project to source 1.5 MMTPA of Ethane from US to feed
its crackers in India. It has executed storage and capacity
agreements for liquefaction and export of ethane with a
North American Terminal. RIL has ordered six state-of-the-
art Very Large Ethane Carriers (VLECs) which will be the
largest vessels ever built in the world. For construction
supervision, RIL has entered into agreements with one
of the world’s largest and reputed shipping companies
Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd (MOL).The ships are expected
to be delivered starting last quarter of 2016.
MOL will also operate and manage the vessels after they
built and deliver. Ethane import from the US will start from
the first quarter of 2017.
RIL’s petrochemical capacity additions are aimed at
serving growing Indian consumption and will further
strengthen its leadership position in the large growing
domestic market.
Post completion of petrochemical expansion plans, RIL
is likely to be among the top 10 global petrochemical
producers by capacity and earnings potential.
The expansions are world-scale and use state-of-the-
art technology, which ensures advantageous cost of
operations alongside savings in packing and logistic costs.
Being strategically located close to the consumption
centres, allows for easy access and benefits the targeted
markets with an economical and reliable source of raw
materials.

OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION
Reliance’s upstream business encompasses the complete
chain of activity
to exploration,
development and production of hydrocarbons. Reliance
has an advantageous position in offshore (deep-water)
capabilities, coupled with the knowledge of operations
in unconventional areas such as CBM and shale gas. More
specifically it:
Has strong offshore capabilities in India
Has a strategic partnership with BP in the domestic
upstream business
Can leverage existing infrastructure, knowledge and
experience
Has achieved materiality in the unconventional shale
gas business
Has a balanced portfolio with growth potential
For the US gas markets, FY 2014-15 started with strong
gas prices on the strength of record low gas inventories.
This was followed by a milder-than-expected summer
and continuously increasing production levels resulting in
record injection to the storage. This period also witnessed
new infrastructure coming on line, particularly in Marcellus
and Utica region, and thus, the US gas production reached
a record high of 73.5 BCF/D in December 2014, a 5 BCF/D
y-o-y increase. This resulted in softening of gas prices
towards the end of the year. However, the long-term
fundamentals of gas market remain intact. Over 22 BCF/D
of take-away capacities are being planned that would
help gas off-take. Gulf Coast demand remains strong
and is expected to go further up with commencement of
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) exports and other industrial
facilities, along with higher gas export to Mexico. In
addition, capex cut by producers, will also cut some of
the associated gas production. These are likely to have
favourable impact on long term gas prices.
According to research estimates, nearly 3 billion barrels of
global oil reserves remain challenged if oil price remains
below $ 70/bbl. The projects most at risk are in oil sands,
deep water, ultra-deep water, arctic and some shale oil
plays. Estimates of global exploration and production
capital expenditure show a fall from $ 870 billion in 2014
to nearly $ 680 billion in 2015, about 22% decline. The
steepest fall is being experienced in North America, where
the capital expenditure programme has fallen by 34%.
Of the $ 680 billion spend on upstream development, IHS
CERA estimates that offshore capex plans will be lower by
10% and are likely to touch $ 180 billion globally by 2015.
Deep and ultra-deep projects account for nearly a 22% of
total global costs and deep-water day rates are declining
with lower fleet utilisation levels and idle rigs. Typically,
there is a 15-18 months lag before costs fully respond.
The share of gas in India’s energy mix as per the BP
statistical review is 8%. This is modest by international
norms since the global average mix is about 23%. India’s
future gas demand is expected to touch 224 Million
Metric Standard Cubic Meter per Day (MMSCMD) by 2020.

its JV partners finally decided to relinquish the block in
line with Government’s policy. The decision was approved
by the Management Committee (MC) in the meeting held
in December 2014. CY-PR-DWN-2001/3 was relinquished
as prospectivity was not commensurate with the high

RIL’s share of produciton in India during the FY 2014-15
was 142 BCFe.
KG-D6 gas production declined by 12% for the year to
157.6 BCF. Fall in production was mainly due to natural
decline in the fields coupled with partial shutdown of
MA field due to Hudhud cyclone and the fire in East-
West pipeline during the year. This was partly offset by
incremental production from side tracks in well MA6H and
MA5H.
In FY 2014-15, Panna-Mukta fields produced 7.2 MMBBL
of crude, a reduction of 2 % on y-o-y basis and 70.7 BCF of
natural gas, a growth of 8.1% on y-o-y basis. The increase
in production was on account of incremental gains from
existing wells and effective well intervention activities.
This was partly offset by a decrease in production due
to unplanned shutdowns during the year, including the
shutdown in July 2014 on account of integrity issue with
South Bassein Hazira Trunk (SBHT) coupled with natural
decline.
Gas production at the Tapti fields declined by 48% on a
y-o-y basis. The decrease is due to natural decline, and
field is progressing towards cessation of production.
International business
Reliance’s E&P strategy is to balance the portfolio by
expanding its international asset base and investing in
regimes having attractive
internationally competitive
terms. A number of opportunities are under review.
Updates:
RIL and Myanma Oil & Gas Enterprise (MOGE), an
enterprise of the Government of Myanmar, have
signed production sharing contracts for two offshore
blocks (M17 and M18). RIL won both the offshore
blocks, after its bids in Myanmar offshore block
bidding round – 2013 were declared successful by the
Ministry of Energy (MoE) of the Republic of the Union
of Myanmar.
RIL signed a MoU with Petroleos Mexicanos (PEMEX)
to co-operate for assessment of potential upstream oil
and gas business opportunities in Mexico and jointly
evaluate value-added opportunities in international
markets.
North American Shale Gas Operations
Background
The shale gas industry in the US has emerged as one of the
most cost competitive and agile among upstream basins
using state-of-the-art technology to continuously improve
productivity and reduce cost. As a result, the sector has
consistently seen the entry of new players and production
has continued to grow at a steady pace. North America
remains market friendly with cutting-edge technology
and nimbleness to respond to market challenges with
innovative technical and business solutions.
Reliance has partnerships with strong operators who
have a proven track record and so far has invested $ 7.9
billion of Capex in its joint ventures with Pioneer Natural
Resources, Carrizo and Chevron including investments in
EFS midstream.

at 168 BCFe, compared to 131 BCFe in 2013. EBITDA of
$775.1 million in 2014 was up 26% y-o-y. Business gained
materiality in terms of production, revenue and EBITDA.
The shale gas business effectively managed the sharp
downturn in commodity prices, and high gas differentials,
particularly in Marcellus region. WTI oil prices dropped
40% from $ 90/bbl at the beginning of the year to
$ 53/bbl by the end of the year. Henry Hub gas prices
remained higher at $ 4.43/MMBTU during CY 2014,

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED)
JVs successfully implemented various value creation
initiatives that resulted in increased well count, improved
well productivity and reduced well costs. These initiatives
significantly add to the long-term profitability and
sustainability of the business. The business has reached
an overall development maturity (with a significant part
of the acreages held by production) and this provides
adequate investment flexibility in managing the low
price environment through prioritising well capex in the
most prolific areas.
In 2014, the joint ventures drilled 211 wells and put 225
wells on production, taking the cumulative number
of producing wells to 838 at the end of the year.
Improvement in efficiencies, improving well recovery and
cost reductions in development activities for 2014 over
the previous year was a key success area during the year.

efforts progressed well and is improving the potential
well count for the JV. Further, the Pioneer JV successfully
decreased Drilling & Completion (D&C) costs through
initiatives like use of 2-string casing design and efficient
pad operations. This improved efficiency, greatly helped
managing the depressed oil price environment.
The Marcellus shale area continued to see sustained
growth in production with some of the best-in-class gas
wells, and continued to contribute significantly to the gas
production growth of the US. This growth also resulted
in some pricing pressure leading to increased gas price
differentials. Carrizo and Chevron, the two Marcellus
JVs, remained focused on maintaining competitive cost
structure and worked on reducing well costs and lease
operating expenses.
All three JVs actively pursued opex and capex reduction
initiatives in the current commodity price downturn.
The overall capex during the year was $ 1.2 billion, lower
by 14% over the previous year on account of moderated
development pace at Marcellus, and cost efficiency
achieved in drilling and completion activities across the
JVs. With NEPA initial development maturing there was
slow capex momentum. Cumulative capex across all
JVs including investment in EFS Midstream LLC stood
at $ 7.9 billion. Substantial part of Pioneer JV capex was
met through cash from JV operations, while Carrizo JV
was cash positive from operations in 2014. Chevron JV
continued to account for most of the ongoing capex and
funding needs.

In CY 2014, year-end proved reserves stood at 2.95
Trillion Cubic Feet equivalent (TCFe) for Reliance-SGO
reflecting 11% growth in reserve accretion over CY 2013.
These proved reserves are about 33% of total resource

additional well locations in Pioneer and Carrizo joint
ventures, marking development upside.
Pioneer Upstream JV
JV successfully pursued
further high-value growth.
Producing well count increased from 371 at year-end 2013
to 499 at year-end 2014, which was a major factor in the
growth in production volumes. The JV produced 250 BCFe
of products through the year (gross) and achieved net
sales of 98.3 BCFe. The share of liquids increased to 68%
in 2014, reflecting growth in activity in oil-rich acreage.
Ongoing development thrust on infill drilling and down
spaced wells in Lower Eagle Ford and Middle Eagle Ford
provided for additional potential locations leading to
growth in proved reserves by 12% at year-end 2014.
Chevron Upstream JV
The JV production stood at 122 BCFe, reflecting growth of
over 25% from the previous year and achieved net sales
of 42.2 BCFe. Growth of 13% also witnessed in proved
reserves from year-end 2013 to year-end 2014. JV is
pursuing paced development in view of the challenging
pricing environment, while working on various operational
and cost efficiency improvement initiatives to maximise
well recovery and decrease well cost.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Carrizo Upstream JV
In view of a challenging price differential environment,
Carrizo JV deferred bringing some wells online as per
original schedule and also decided to curtail production
to produce only at optimal
levels (for operational
considerations). The JV production of 56 BCFe reflected a
39% increase over the previous year with net sales volume
of 27.1 BCFe for 2014. Carrizo JV opted for deferment
of drilling activities to CY 2016, considering the price
environment. While year-end 2014 reserves were largely
unchanged, Carrizo added potential well locations due to
Upper Marcellus development plan down spacing.

R-Cluster Development
The Field Development Plan (FDP) for the R-Cluster
discoveries was submitted in January 2013 and it was
approved by the MC in August 2013. Since the approval
of the FDP, the KG-D6 JV has made significant progress
towards development of the discovery. This includes:

Production augmentation efforts in existing producing
fields (D1, D3 and D26)
D1-D3 field continues to produce from eight wells.
To maximise the recovery from the field, well
intervention jobs were planned for execution in
phases. In the initial phase, Water Shut-off (WSO)
jobs in three wells were attempted. Although, the
outcome of these jobs did not meet expectations, the
data acquired from these wells and the lessons learnt
have been incorporated in designing the side track
jobs in the next phase of well intervention jobs
Reservoir top-set drilling of a substitute well has been
completed, and further drilling, completions and
connections are planned to be undertaken during FY
2015-16. Besides, side track activities are planned and
well options have been prioritised to undertake these
jobs
Meanwhile, as part of the Onshore Terminal Booster
Compressor (OTBC) project, two compressors have
been successfully commissioned, with the third
compressor expected to be commissioned in first
half of FY 2015-16. As an outcome of this effort,
augmentation of production in terms of improved
recovery from the field is expected to be achieved

Tapti JV production level has steadily declined this year
as it is nearing the end of its economic life. The field
is currently producing around 1 MMSCMD of gas. The
cessation of production is likely to happen during the
second half of FY 2015-16.
In line with the production sharing contract, RIL along
with its partners have issued an abandonment notice to
the Government in December 2013 and started allocating
funds for site restoration activity.
Post cessation of production, ONGC as a Government
nominee will take over the process facilities and the export
pipelines for its Daman development project. As part of
the site restoration of Tapti block, Tapti JV will commence
necessary decommissioning and abandonment activities
(the first of its kind in India’s E&P industry) for the balance
of the facilities in the coming year.
Other NELP Blocks
NEC-25
No significant development has taken place in this block
during the year. RIL continues to wait for the approval of
its Integrated Block Development Plan for the discoveries
(D32, D40) and approval of proposal for conducting Drill
Stem Testing (DST) for D32 and D40 from the regulator.
CY-D5
Post notification of discovery of S1 well (D56), the
appraisal programme has been reviewed by MC. The
period of appraisal programme is valid up to August
2016. Subsequent to completion of exploration phase
II, RIL along with its partner has opted not to enter the
phase-III of exploration and also decided not to submit a
development plan for discovery D35, for which the DoC
has been reviewed earlier.
CB-10
The block was awarded under the NELP-V licensing round
and is the only conventional on-land block operated by
RIL. Post completion of phase-1 of the exploration period,
wherein RIL made eight discoveries out of 18 wells drilled
in this block, the Government has approved RIL and its
partner to enter into phase-II of the exploration in January
2015. RIL has extensive plans towards drilling to explore
and augment additional resources.
During the year, the DoC of eight discoveries was reviewed
by the MC. RIL along with its JV partner is actively engaged
in preparation of development plan for submission by mid
of FY 2015-16.
CBM (Sohagpur East and Sohagpur West)
Development Project
Based on extensive exploration activity, the development
plan was submitted to DGH for both blocks and approved
by DGH in November 2007. The development plan
envisages 1,000 wells to be executed in a phased manner
over the contract period.
Development activities have commenced in the two
CBM blocks (Sohagpur East and West) with all requisite
approvals required for the development stage in place.
As a part of the project scope, RIL is drilling more than 200
wells and setting up two gas gathering stations and eight
water gathering stations in phase-I. The land acquisition
for phase-I wells and facilities is near completion. Out
of phase-I scope, RIL has drilled 168 surface holes, 153
production holes and completed hydro fracturing jobs
for 120 wells. Detailed engineering and procurement
for sub-surface and surface facilities are completed.
Installation and erection of most of the equipment is
nearing completion. Installation of well-site facilities is
completed for two trunk lines. Laying of gas gathering and
water gathering network is under progress. The first gas
production is expected in the second half of FY 2015-16.
Shahdol – Phulpur gas pipeline project
Reliance Gas Pipeline Limited, a subsidiary of RIL, is
building a natural gas pipeline from Shahdol in Madhya
Pradesh to Phulpur in Uttar Pradesh (hook-up point with
GAIL’s HVJ pipeline), to transport gas from its CBM blocks.
Land acquisition has been completed for all critical
installations. Right to Use (RoU) for 261 km out of 302
km is handed over to pipeline construction contractors.
Basic engineering (FEED) and detailed engineering are
completed. Ordering for all long lead and other items
has been completed. Overall project progress of 72%
was achieved by the year end and RIL is fully geared
up for completing the pipeline work by second half of
FY 2015-16.

new formula was to be applicable from 1st April, 2014,
including the gas produced from block KG-DWN-98/3
(’KG-D6 Block’) where the previous approved price expired
on 31st March, 2014. The gas price under these guidelines
was to be notified by the Government by March 2014.
There was continued delay on the part of the Government
in notifying the price in accordance with the approved

while preserving their rights to claim an arms-length
market price as required under the Production Sharing
Contract (PSC).
implementation of the
On 18th October, 2014, in supersession of its earlier
notification of 10th January, 2014, the Government
notified the New Domestic Natural Gas Price Guidelines
2014. In view of RIL, the methodology used for valuation
of gas under these guidelines, does not reflect true arms-
length market price of gas in India as required under the
production sharing contract signed with the Government.
Without prejudice to any of its rights and contentions, RIL
is complying with the guidelines.
KG-D6 Arbitration and other legal issues
RIL sought Government’s confirmation that no action
was being planned following news reports that the
Government may curtail the Company’s entitlement to
recover its costs on the basis of there being a shortfall
in production from levels specified in the development
plan. According to the Company the PSC permits full ‘cost
recovery’ of its costs of exploration, development and
production from the value of petroleum produced from
the KG-D6 Block.
RIL on behalf of all contractor constituents - namely Niko
(NECO) Limited (NIKO) and BP Exploration Alpha Limited
(‘BP‘) (together, the ’Claimants‘) served an arbitration
notice on the Government on 23rd November, 2011
(‘Cost Recovery Arbitration‘). Both the Claimants and
the Government have appointed arbitrators and on 23rd
September, 2014, the Supreme Court nominated Hon’ble
Michael Kirby AC CMG as the presiding third arbitrator.
Justice Kirby is corresponding with the parties.
Three public interest litigations have been filed before the
Supreme Court of India against the Company in relation to
the production sharing contract for KG-D6 Block seeking
substantially similar reliefs in the nature of; (i) disallowance
of cost recovery under the production sharing contract for
KG-D6 Block; (ii) quashing the Government’s decision to
approve the certain gas price formula, and (iii) termination
of production sharing contract for KG-D6 Block on the
basis that the Company has not achieved the committed
production. In the views of both the Company and the
Government, point (ii) in the public interest litigation no
longer survives in view of the revised pricing guidelines
issued by the government on 1st November, 2014 and being
a matter of arbitration. Petitioners have also requested the
Supreme Court to stay the Cost Recovery Arbitration. The
Company has submitted that the underlying issues which
have been flagged by the Petitioners are already subject
matter of Cost Recovery Arbitration and the Gas Price
Arbitration and the same need to be heard by the arbitral
tribunal.
PMT Arbitration
In December 2010, the Company and BG Exploration
and Production India Limited (together, the ’Claimants‘)
referred a number of disputes, differences and claims
arising under two Production Sharing Contracts entered
into in 1994 among the Claimants, Oil & Natural Gas
Corporation Limited (ONCG) and the Government (the
’PSCs‘) to arbitration. The disputes relate to, among
other things, the limits of cost recovery, profit sharing
and audit and accounting provisions of the PSCs. The
value of the Claimants’ claims exceeds $ 500 million.
The Government’s defence dated 31st January 2012
raised certain jurisdictional objections and asserted a
number of substantial counterclaims, including claims for
underpayment of profits and failure to complete agreed
work programmes.
The parties agreed by consent that the juridical seat of the
arbitration would be London, England.
Following an initial merits hearing in May 2012, the
Tribunal passed a number of final partial awards, largely
in the Claimants’ favour. The Government challenged the
Tribunal’s awards/determinations under Part I of the Indian
Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996 before the Hon’ble
Delhi High Court. These challenges were ultimately
dismissed after the Claimants prevailed in a Special Leave
Petition (SLP) before the Hon’ble Supreme Court on 28th
May 2014. The Government filed a Review Petition before
the Supreme Court against this judgement, which was
unsuccessful, and also filed a Curative Petition before the
Supreme Court seeking reconsideration of the judgment
which was also dismissed. ONGC, another constituent
of Contractor under the PSCs but is not a party to the
arbitration (as ONGC was directed by the Government
of India at the inception to be bound by any award and
not to participate in the arbitration) has now filed an
intervention application in the disposed off Government
SLP on the basis that there are certain factual and legal
errors in the judgement and ONGC needs to present its
position before the court. The matter is presently sub-
judice. Government has filed another SLP, copy of which is
yet to be served upon the Company.
The Tribunal is yet to set a date to hear the parties’ closing
submissions, which was deferred due to the illness of
Government nominated Arbitrator.

RETAIL BUSINESS
Market environment and outlook
Twenty-first century
India reflects the potential to
withstand challenges and emerge as a significant
contributor to the global economy. Aspirations and
capabilities of over a billion people are creating a huge
market for both domestic and global investment.
India is the world’s fifth largest retail market (Source:
Retailing-Sector-Analysis-Report by
Equity Master
November 2014). There are several favourable factors at
an interplay, which are driving consumption boom in the
Indian market. Favourable demographics, urbanisation
and rising education levels are affecting growth in
incomes, and increasing spending power is translating
further
increasing household consumption. As
incomes rise, the shape of the country’s income pyramid is
also getting transformed. The cascading effect of wealthier
households, wanting to live an aspirational lifestyle would
further drive India’s consumption boom.
into
Overall India’s retail business is projected to nearly double
to $ 1 trillion by 2020 from $ 600 billion in 2015. The retail
market is expected to grow by 12% in line with historical
trends. (Source: Retail 2020: Retrospect, Reinvent, Rewrite
by BCG and RAI, 2015)
Modern trade is expected to grow three times to $ 180
billion by 2020 from $ 60 billion in 2015. Traditional trade
is projected to grow at 10% annually, while modern trade
is projected to grow at almost twice this pace.
is expected
India’s e-commerce market
to grow
exponentially over the next five years. Internet users are
expected to increase three times from ~200 million in 2014
to ~600 million by 2020, due to increased proliferation of
smartphones, lower cost of connectivity and improved
quality and expanded reach in lower tier cities.
Even though, India continues on its current high-growth
path for the long term, the economy is prone to headwinds
in the short run. The growth path began slowing down in
the last few years, because of low level of macro-economic
activity, caused by high interest rates, rising inflation and
investor pessimism.
Amid escalating food prices, high borrowing rates and
marginal real wage growth, consumers tend to postpone
discretionary spend.
Going forward, the Indian economy is expected to
maintain its growth momentum aided by stronger growth
enabling factors like stress on improved governance,
reforms towards more competitive and market oriented
policies, restructuring of welfare measures aimed at
improving end level benefits.
India’s organised retail would continue to surge as
customers look for an aspirational lifestyle, and are willing
to pay for superior shopping experience and better quality
products at attractive prices.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Sector overview
Reliance Retail operates in five core format sectors viz.,
Value Formats and others, Fashion and Lifestyle, Digital,
Brands and Jewellery.
Value formats and others
Food and grocery constitutes the largest category in
the consumption basket and is estimated at around
60% of consumer spending (Source: Deloitte – Indian
Retail Market Opening More Doors, January 2013). The
penetration of organised retail is among the lowest in this
category, which creates an unprecedented opportunity
for growth of modern retail.
Value formats offer a comprehensive range of products
ranging from fresh produce, dairy, staples, processed
food, food/non-food FMCG products and much more
to delight customers. Value formats operate the largest
chain of full service convenience stores, supermarkets and
hypermarkets on a highly integrated supply chain model.
the
linkages with
The
farm has brought about
transformational changes in the quality of life of farmers,
also enhancing the quality of produce, reducing wastage
by shortening the time to move fresh produce and
reducing intermediaries in the value chain, thereby
benefiting all.
Modern grocery retail has evolved in India and so have
the customers. To remain relevant to weekly and monthly
shopping missions of a household, value formats have
successfully maintained a fine balance of serving local
tastes by offering small brands, as well as national and
international brands.
Value formats have been focusing on own label products
that stand true to the tag-line of ‘Trusted Quality,
Reliance Price’. Several new products and categories
were added to the strong own label portfolio. During the
year, the business recorded a participation of up to 25%
from own label brands in key categories, such as Home
Personal Care and Dairy. With a broad selection of own
label products, complemented by well-known brands,
value formats optimally meet the diverse needs of Indian
consumers.
Value formats also launched the e-commerce channel
through www.reliancefreshdirect.com. The site has
received overwhelming response and is still under pilot.
The online channel provides the convenience of delivery
of fresh produce, dairy, packaged food and much more at
the door step.
Reliance Fresh has been included in the list of ‘Most
India by Brand Equity,
Trusted’ service brands
in
The Economic Times and continues to
its
position year after year. This represents the faith of
consumers in patronising the chain, which continues to
remain as India’s largest grocery retailer.

Traditional retail is characterised by the presence of over
12 million kirana shops in the country. These kirana shops
operate their retail business on a fragmented distribution
network, with presence of a number of intermediaries.

Reliance Market serves deliveries to kiranas to ensure that
they focus on their business, while it empowers them
with the right merchandise on a timely basis. In a short
duration, thousands of kiranas have benefited from this
programme and the business continues to enroll and
engage with newer kirana members each day.
Reliance Market has established leadership in wholesale
cash-and-carry segment in the country with 43 operational
stores and enjoys patronage of more than 1.5 million
registered members.
Fashion and lifestyle
India’s apparel market is worth around ` 2.3 lakh crore
(Source: Deloitte – Indian Retail Market Opening More
Doors, January 2013), of which the organised sector
accounts for 24% of the overall pie. The entire market is
growing at a CAGR of 9% with women’s wear and kids’
wear being the fastest growing categories.
Reliance Trends Store
With rising disposable income, exposure to western
broadcast media, access to better education and younger
demographics, the fashion and lifestyle sector is poised
for robust growth.
Reliance Trends, the apparel and accessories specialty
format, is a fashion destination for young at heart, value
conscious style seeking men and women. The format
offers an extensive range of own labels, apart from other
national and international brands. Over the years, it has
successfully democratised fashion by making ‘fast fashion’
accessible to the young and aspirational customers.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED)
Reliance Trends sells over 1,50,000 pieces of garments per
day across its stores with a portfolio of over 20 private label
brands (targeting different customer segments), which
account for 70% of its turnover. Through its private brands,
Trends has been able to establish a unique differentiated
offering to its customers.

is
Reliance Footprint, the specialty footwear format
offering footwear and accessories through a range of
own, national and
international brands. The format
attained a milestone of opening 200th store during the
year, making it a leading national multi-brand footwear
chain.
Own brands contribute 15% of turnover and gives it
a competitive edge, so that the format is able to offer
superior designed products at great value.
Payless ShoeSource, which runs the
largest family
footwear store chain in western hemisphere was launched
in India in an exclusive partnership with Reliance Retail
during the year. In a short period, the chain has expanded
to over 14 stores and is witnessing great enthusiasm from
customers for innovative designs at affordable prices.
The successful partnership with Marks & Spencer (M&S)
continued to grow with strong same store sales growth,
as well as roll out of new stores during the year. During the
year, the business opened 12 stores, including launching
the first M&S standalone beauty and lingerie store and
men’s only M&S store in India. The business continues
to maintain thrust on innovation and focuses on several
meaningful innovations, like providing an anti-bacterial
finish in all shirt packs, quick dry swimwear products,
sleek and sculpt body shaping innerwear among several
other product innovations.
Digital
Consumer Durables and Information Technology (CDIT)
is one of the major categories in the consumption basket
that reflects the aspirational lifestyle of India’s consumers.
The sector has been hit by industry slowdown. To add to
the pain, high interest rates have compelled consumers to
postpone spending on large ticket items to restrict their
family budgets.
The sluggish consumption pattern of digital products
is expected to be a transient phenomenon, as younger
demographic population supported by new job creation
and aspirational lifestyle is likely to bring back industry
demand.
industry
Unabated by the
impact, Reliance Retail
continued its growth in the digital sector during the
year. Reliance Digital operates multiple formats, offering
consumer electronics, home appliances, IT and telecom
products.
Reliance Digital, the CDIT products retailing format, has
established itself as a complete destination store that
offers comprehensive assortment of top brands, a large
selection of innovative products, attractive pricing and
best-in-class service.
Reliance Digital Express Store
Digital Express Mini is a smaller store format catering to
mobility and communication needs of the consumers.
The rate of opening stores during the year has been on
an accelerated path for Digital Express Mini format. In
a short period, the format has established itself as the
country’s largest mobile phone retail chain. The format
is increasingly becoming a distribution platform for
most of the national and international brands as it offers
tremendous reach to over 150 cities in India, with further
plans to take the format to over 800 cities.
ResQ, the service arm of digital continues to expand
and strengthen its capabilities. It is a full-fledged service
organisation and is India’s first multi-product, multi-
brand and multi-location service network that provides
solutions encompassing end-to-end product life cycle
requirements for the entire range of CDIT products and
other value-added services.

Market environment
With more than 961 million mobile users as of February
2015 (Source: TRAI), India has achieved a tele-density
of more than 76%. However, the growth in broadband
connections has not been commensurate with the
enormous growth of India’s telecommunication industry.
India has only around 18.7 million broadband connections
as of September, 2014
(Source: TRAI), excluding
internet access by wireless phone subscribers, which is
comparatively lower than other countries.
LTE, a fourth generation wireless technology that offers
higher speed, is likely to alter the contours of the Indian
wireless industry and drive the ‘Digital India’ movement.
LTE rollouts will not only accelerate data adoption (user
base and usage) in India, but will also cause a dramatic
shift for 4G services.
systems and processes,
RIL’s subsidiary RJIL has made significant progress in
building its LTE business, including physical network
sales and
infrastructure,
distribution network, applications and services, content
and many others. It is working with strategic partners
who have committed significant resources, know-how
and global talent to support the deployment and testing
activities currently underway.
Spectrum acquisition and infrastructure tie-ups
RJIL is the only private player with Broadband Wireless
Access (BWA) spectrum in all the 22 telecom circles of
India. It plans to provide reliable fast internet connectivity
through the 20 MHz, contiguous, pan-India BWA spectrum.
RJIL has also successfully acquired 1800 MHz spectrum
across 14 key circles in February, 2014.
In March 2015, RJIL successfully acquired the right to use
spectrum in 800 MHz band or 1800 MHz band or both
in 13 key circles across India in the spectrum auction
conducted by DoT, GoI. With this acquisition, in addition
to the pan-India 2300 MHz spectrum, RJIL has spectrum
in either 800 MHz or 1800 MHz or both, in 20 out of the
total 22 circles in the country. RJIL’s total equivalent
spectrum footprint has increased from 597.6 MHz to 751.1
MHz (including uplink and downlink), strengthening its
position as the largest holder of liberalised spectrum.

and other entities.
RJIL is working aggressively in achieving the minimum
rollout obligations as specified in the notice inviting
application for the spectrum auction in 2010, as per the
Test Schedule Test Procedure (TSTP) issued by DoT in
March, 2015. RJIL was allotted Mobile Switching Centre
Code (MSC), Mobile Country Code (MCC) and Mobile
Network Code (MNC) for mobile access services across
all 22 circles by the DoT, hence providing it with about
22 million mobile phone numbers across India to provide
mobile access services. Apart from the above, RJIL has
been allotted crucial Signalling Point (SP) codes by DoT for
launching National Long Distance (NLD) and International
Long Distance (ILD) services. RJIL has also received
clearances to set up international internet gateways by
Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DoT) and DoT.
RJIL has adopted a partnership based model for telecom
infrastructure for 4G wireless and fibre based high speed
broadband services. In line with this strategic intent,

S&P BBB+: An obligation rated ‘BBB’ exhibits adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing
circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.
Moody’s Baa2: Obligations rated Baa are judged to be medium-grade and subject to moderate credit risk and as such may possess certain
speculative characteristics.
CRISIL AAA: Instruments with this rating are considered to have the highest degree of safety regarding timely servicing of financial obligations.
Such instruments carry lowest credit risk.
Fitch Ind AAA: ‘AAA’ national ratings denote the highest rating assigned in its national rating scale. This rating is assigned to the ‘best‘ credit risk
relative to all other issuers or issues in the country.

R&D - Health Safety and Environment
RIL research has yielded benefits in sustainability, process
intensification and HSE. Few examples on RTG’s initiatives
related to HSE include the following:
RIL is in the process of commercialising a breakthrough
technology in the production of LAB. Conventional
technology uses hydrofluoric acid (HF) as a catalyst.
RIL’s new technology uses a proprietary ionic liquid
in place of HF improving safety, reducing risk to the
environment.
Sulphur is a refinery by-product. In its elemental
form, sulphur has limited use. RIL has developed a
technology that increases the efficacy of sulphur
as a fertiliser. It is estimated that Indian soils are
40% deficient
in sulphur and RIL new sulphur
fertiliser (RelFarmS™) will greatly improve agriculture
productivity throughout India. RIL has also acquired
specialty polymer technology
from Agricultural
Research Institute and is exploring its application for
sustained and slow release of water to the plants.

RISK MANAGEMENT AND INTERNAL
CONTROL
Introduction
Reliance
entrepreneurship
stimulates
throughout the organisation and encourages its
people to identify and seize opportunities. The
current economic environment, in combination with
significant growth ambitions of Reliance, carries
with it an evolving set of risks. Reliance recognises
that these risks need to be managed to protect
its customers, employees, shareholders and other
stakeholders, to achieve its business objectives and
enable sustainable growth. Risk and opportunity
management is therefore a key element of the overall
Reliance strategy. This section provides an overview
of the key strategic risks, Reliance’s risk and control
framework, and its approach to risk management.
2. Creating Value through Risk Management
Reliance operates in diverse industries and global
markets, and therefore requires a balanced approach
to risk management. An
integrated system of
risk management and internal controls, which is
tailored to the specific segments of Reliance and its
businesses, is deployed, taking into account various
factors, such as the size and nature of the inherent
risks and the regulatory environment of the individual
business segment or operating company. This
framework undergoes continuous
improvements
to allow Reliance to optimise its management of
risk exposures, while taking advantage of business
opportunities.
3. Reliance’s View on Risk
3.1 Risk Appetite
Reliance’s risk appetite is linked to its strategic
approach and is based on the stance it has taken
across four areas:
Strategic and commercial: Reliance manages
strategic risk in the pursuit of profitable growth
in both mature and emerging markets. Given the
volatile markets and economic climate in which it
operates, the adaptability of its people, its service
offering, and its infrastructure are key to manage its
risk.
Safety and operations: Reliance is committed to
conduct all its activities in such a manner so as to avoid
harm to employees and the community. It strives to
deliver safe, reliable and compliant operations.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Compliance and control: Compliance with laws and
regulations is fundamental to maintain Reliance’s
license to operate in the various industries that it
operates in. Reliance also believes that accurate
and reliable information provides a competitive
advantage and is key to effective management of its
business. It therefore accepts minimal risk in relation
to reporting risks.
Financial: Reliance manages financial risk to maintain
a prudent financing strategy, even when undertaking
major investment, and therefore taking controlled
risks in this area.
3.2 Risk factors
Reliance emphasises on those risks that threaten the
achievement of business objectives of the Group over
the short to medium term. An overview of these risks
is provided hereafter, including the actions taken to
mitigate these risks and any related opportunities:
d.
Strategic and Commercial risks
i)
a. Prices and markets
Reliance’s financial performance is subject to the
fluctuating prices of crude oil & gas and downstream
petroleum products. Prices of oil & gas products are
affected by supply and demand, both globally and
regionally. Factors that influence the supply and
demand include operational issues, natural disasters,
political instability, economic conditions and many
others. For example, lower prices will mean lower
revenues for Reliance’s upstream production and as a
result the long-term upstream projects may become
less profitable. In addition, this may also have an
impact on booked reserves. Prolonged unfavourable
conditions could also result in cancellation of projects
or impairment of assets.
Mitigation: Since Reliance operates an integrated
hydrocarbon business, some of these risks can
be offset by gains in other parts of the Reliance’s
business. In addition, Reliance proactively hedge’s
these exposures.
b. Competitive forces
While Reliance seeks to compete on the basis of
product differentiation, it operates in commodity-
type markets. It is therefore, important to manage
its costs, to ensure it has an edge in pricing over its
competitors.
refining capacities by PSUs
Surplus refining capacity in India, augmentation
of
(Public Sector
Undertaking) and the additions of new refining
capacity in Asia, notably in China and the Middle East,
will increase competition in the region, potentially
impacting GRM in its refining and marketing business.
Mitigation: As a risk-mitigating strategy, Reliance
continues to diversify its product portfolio and also
develop new export markets. It is also investing in
projects to strengthen cost competitiveness.
c. Brand and reputational risks
As one of India’s leading brands, Reliance’s reputation
is an important asset.
Mitigation: The Group has defined a RMS and code of
conduct that govern how all employees in Reliance
operate. Compliance with
these organisational
policies, code of conduct, regulatory compliance
requirements and other governance requirements,
are key to protect Reliance’s reputation.
Political instability, acts of terrorism, government
policies
Social or civil unrest, in geographical areas where
Reliance operates, can have an
its
operations. Potential developments that may impact
its business operations include government pricing
policy of petroleum products, piracy on high seas,
any changes to Indo-US economic policy, acts of
terrorism or civil unrest that may have an impact on
safe operations of its facilities and transportation of
its products.
impact on
Political unrest and tensions in the Middle East, North
Africa can cause short-term fluctuations in crude
prices and crude availability.
Mitigation: To mitigate the risks resulting from non-
availability of crude and feedstock, Reliance has a
diversified crude sourcing strategy from multiple
geographies (Asia, the Middle East, West Africa, Latin
/ South America and North Africa) under both short-
term and long-term arrangements.
ii) Safety and operational risks
a. Changing technology and obsolescence risk
The changing technologies and the natural ageing
of existing facilities pose the risk of production
plants becoming obsolete and uneconomic. Aged
plants are prone to unplanned shutdowns, increased
maintenance and operating costs. Deployment
of new technologies and ongoing maintenance
processes are key to enhancing the reliability of
operations and reduction in operating costs, while
improving the safety of operating conditions by
extending the useful life of assets.
Mitigation: Reliance utilises a dedicated Research &
Development function, which develops near term
and incremental improvements, as well as step
change improvements to existing products and
processes.

Mitigation: Reliance continues to strengthen
its
responses to cybersecurity threats through proactive
and reactive risk mitigations. These include, proactive
activities to continuously improve its cybersecurity
policies, standards, technical safeguard, ongoing
monitoring of new and existing threats and IT
security awareness initiatives. Its reactive responses
to cybersecurity threats, which include IT disaster
recovery, emergency
response and business
continuity management capabilities to enable the
reduction of the impacts of a cybersecurity event.
c. Major project execution risk
Reliance’s
future growth plans depend upon
successful delivery of major capital projects. Major
capital projects include the Jamnagar project (cracker,
gasification etc.), which is designed to deliver a step
change in energy costs and increase the production
capacity of ethylene and other downstream products
at the complex, as well as the launch of a pan-India
telecom infrastructure to provide 4G LTE TDD high
speed wireless internet and mobile communication
services. Delivery of these major projects is key to
Reliance’s future financial performance. Managing
the risks related to the delivery of these and other
major capital projects is key to enhancing Reliance’s
long-term shareholder value.
Mitigation: Project risk management is embedded in
the way Reliance delivers projects. These includes a
specialised project delivery function with experience
project management professionals, project risk
modelling on a project-by-project basis, partnering
with experienced vendors to execute complex
projects and ongoing review and escalation of issues
that undermine project success.
d.
Evolving Health, Safety, Security and Environmental
(HSSE) risks
Reliance is exposed to a wide spectrum of HSSE risks,
given the diversity and complexity of the industries,
it operates in. The exploration and production of oil
and gas, transportation of the hydrocarbons and their
further refining and processing is regulated by various
HSSE related regulations across the geographies
where Reliance operates. A major HSSE incident, such
as fire, oil spill, security breach can result in loss of life,
environmental degradation and overall disruption in
business activities.
Mitigation: Reliance follows an HSE policy that ‘Safety
of persons overrides all production targets’, which
incentivises all employees to strive for excellence in
safety management for the benefit of its employees,
customers and the communities. Reliance has set
it self the goal of ‘zero injuries and incidents‘. The
Group conducts HSSE audits to get assurance on
HSSE management
framework protocols and
regulatory compliances.
iii) Compliance and control risks
a.
Reporting and estimation of provisions and reserves
The estimation of proved oil and gas reserves involves
subjective judgements and determinations based
on available geological, technical, contractual and
economic information. These estimates may change
depending on the availability of new information
from production and drilling activities, or changes
in economic factors like change in pricing of crude,
projection of foreign exchange rates and natural
decline in the field and unexpected geological
complexity, among others. The published provisions
and reserves may also be subject to correction due to
errors in application of published rules and change in
guidance. Any downward adjustment would indicate
lower production volumes in the upstream business.
Mitigation: Reliance has a
reserves assurance
framework and process in place to ensure accuracy in
reporting of reserves volumes.
b. Regulatory compliance risks
The evolution of the global regulatory environment
has resulted into increased regulatory scrutiny that
has raised the minimum standards to be maintained
by Reliance. This signifies the alignment of corporate
performance objectives, while ensuring compliance
with regulatory requirements.

iv) Financial risks
Treasury risks
Treasury risks include, among others, exposure to
movements in interest rates and foreign exchange
rates. Reliance also maintains sufficient liquidity, so
that it is able to meet its financial commitments on
due dates and is not forced to obtain funds at higher
interest rates. It has access to markets worldwide and
it uses a range of products and currencies to ensure
that its funding is efficient and well diversified across
markets and investor types.
Foreign Exchange risk
Reliance prepares its financial statements in
Indian Rupee (INR), but most of the payables
and receivables of hydrocarbon business are
in US Dollars, minimising the cash flow risk on
account of fluctuations in foreign exchange
rates. Reliance avails long-term foreign currency
liabilities (primarily in USD, EURO and JPY) to
fund its capital investments.

this Reliance mapped all of the key processes in detail.
These processes were then integrated and optimised
with the aim to technology enable them through a
series of system go-lives.
Till date Reliance successfully delivered integrated
systems go-lives for the E&P business in April 2014
and for the R&M business in January 2015. The R&M
go live was very large and complex and was delivered
successfully without impacting business operations.
The scope included Jamnagar refinery and included
Petrochemicals activities at the site. With these
go-lives Reliance has made substantial progress to
automated processes, reducing manual effort and
improving controls and transparency through an
end-to-end digital chain.
3. Governance
The way Reliance conducts its business has evolved
over the decades, both at the individual business and
the group levels. In FY 2014-15, Reliance launched
the RMS which formalises the governance framework
in a transparent manner and codifies the way work
gets done at Reliance. The RMS encompasses the
policies, processes, tasks, behaviours and other
aspects of the Company and is organised across four
areas:
Purpose and Values
Group Strategy, Financial Framework and ‘How
We Manage Risk’
‘ How We Organize and Manage the Company’
‘ How We Verify’ that the business is operating
and performing as it should
The RMS establishes clarity and a common understanding
of the way Reliance operates. Reliance has created a new
function called Governance & Integration to ensure RMS
governance processes, frameworks and content is kept
current and that all elements of RMS are aligned and
integrated.
Focus for next year
The focus for FY 2015-16 will be to:
Embed and operationalise a full cycle for governance
within the new RMS framework
Complete the full implementation of the people R-HR
Transformation projects
Implement
Petrochemical businesses
systems
go-lives
for
remaining
When fully deployed, Reliance’s goal is that all of these
transformation projects will create a foundation to support
and enable Reliance to be among top-50 Company in the
Fortune 500 list by 2020, with a ‘most admired company’
status in India.

RURAL TRANSFORMATION
The Foundation has been making systematic efforts at
bridging the country’s rural-urban development gap.
The Foundation’s strategy combines a judicious mix of
technology, material and information with specific focus
on agriculture and marine fisheries. It is currently working
with over 94,000 rural households.
Livelihoods
The Foundation works on enhancing opportunities
and disseminating information relevant to improving
livelihood options among rural communities. It deploys
locally-relevant solutions to promote agriculture, marine
fisheries and other farm and non-farm based activities.
Systematic efforts are taken to improve the quality and
productivity of assets leading to increased and more
reliable yields. 17,902 hectares of land has been enriched
in FY 2014-15 (48,913 hectares since inception). Location
specific information is provided to fisher folk to help them
effectively plan their sea routes, navigate directly to fish
aggregation zones and return with heavier hauls in lesser
time. 10,489 advisories (14,274 since inception) were
disseminated to farmers and fisher folk through 54, 59,347
calls .
The Foundation focuses on building the capacity of
communities that it works with. This initiative starts from the
time that the Foundation engages with them by ensuring
their participation in the resource mapping and planning
exercise. More than need-based training, programmes
have been conducted to further enhance the skills and
knowledge of 1,87,415 small and marginal farmers, women
and fisher folk. Trainings on sustainable agricultural
practices, soil and water conservation, pest management,
feeding and fodder management for livestock, use of
organic fertilisers, GPS handling, hygienic handling of fish,
sea safety etc. have been imparted.
Silaging with Polypropylene Flexible
Intermediate Bulk Containers (PP FIBCs)
RIL has assisted dairy farmers in Punjab and Haryana
by
implementing education programmes on silage
production/preparation and how to bag the silage using
intermediate bulk containers
polypropylene flexible
known as PP FIBCs. The training produced solutions to
problems faced by farmers, such as low milk yield, acute
scarcity of fodder and a lack of knowledge among farmers
on how to make silage.
The programme redesigned bag sizes found in the supply
chain, thereby increasing delivery speed and promptness.
RIL also supplied the farmers with free sample bags
and cattle feed for the programme’s first 40 days. The
programme also brought in world-class fodder seed
supplies to the farmers.
There were a number of key innovations that this
programme brought about, namely the use of anti-
rodent bags, applying a redesign of the FIBC so that the
inner lining was laminated, eliminating the use of liners
– leading to operational convenience. The benefits of the
programme were substantial. Surplus fodder that would
have otherwise gone to waste was made into silage, and a
silage bank was set up for times of need.

REPORT ON CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (CONTINUED)
In a cost/benefit analysis, it was seen that the initial
investment was very low compared to conventional silage
pits. Silage bags ensure zero maintenance cost, which can
be transported from fodder surplus to nil fodder districts.
The programme also received a number of awards for
its work, including letters of product acceptance and
certifications received from government departments,
such as the Animal Husbandry Department (AHD) in
Punjab and Haryana.
Similar programmes have been implemented in Rajasthan
by Rajasthan University of Veterinary and Animal Science
(RJUVAS) and 17 other states.
Polypropylene Nonwoven Fruit Cover for
Pomegranates
RIL has assisted various pomegranate farms in Karnataka
and Maharashtra in dealing with problems of low fruit
yield and low productivity, insects and pests, poor quality
fruit, and wastage.
Through the programme, farmers were educated on
fruit bagging through various media such as case
study presentations, and practical demonstrations. The
programme redesigned the bag size used to hold the
produce in order to fit with the quality and size of said
produce. RIL also created a supply chain for quicker
delivery of the bags.
There were challenges faced during the implementation
of the programme, such as tying the cover over individual
fruit which was a major issue, fruit ripening, and the
availability of readymade fruit covers with the right kind
of materials for easy retrieval.
However, despite these challenges, the programme was
successful in significantly increasing productivity and
yield, going up 10 MT per hectare. Fruits produced were
of a more uniform size and deeper red colour, and the
general quality also increased such that the fruit was fit
for export. As a result, the average price fetched by the
pomegranate also increased by 20%.
Social Security for Villagers of Balangir District
The Foundation has initiated a life insurance programme
for villagers of the Balangir district of Odisha. It is an
attempt to provide a social security net to the villagers of
the district against accidents and threats, such as falling
from tree and snake bites. The medical camps have been
organised and the villagers have been educated on social
security tools including insurance.
Balangir District is one of the poorest districts of India and
is globally known for its poverty, drought and migration.
Predominantly an agrarian district, with more than 70%
of the population dependent on agriculture for their
livelihood. The villagers face various threats while collecting
Non Woods Forest Products (NWFP) such as Kendu leaf,
Mahula and Broom, for their survival. The Foundation, with
the support of Village Farmers Association (VFA) leaders,
has opted for the Janata Accidental Insurance Policy of
the National Insurance Company for hapless villagers. The
policy insures individual villagers for an amount of ` 1 lakh
against a premium of ` 60. The Foundation also organised
a policy related discussion in one of the district’s villages
where farmers from nearby seven villages participated.
Through this initiative, the Foundation has already helped
613 insured farmers. Another 836 farmers are in the
process of getting insured.
Beneficiary of the Foundation’s Initiative
Food and Nutrition Security
The Foundation directly engages with small and marginal
farmers and promotes sustainable agricultural practices
to transform their lives. Large patches of fallow land
is being transformed, enriched and brought under
cultivation with an increase in the crop yield through the
adoption of practices, such as mixed cropping, integrated
pest management and the use of farmyard manure and
rainwater conservation efforts. 10,379 kitchen gardens
(26,671 since inception) called Reliance Nutrition Gardens
have been constructed this year among rural households
to supplement their nutritional intake.
All these initiatives have helped improve productivity, food
and nutrition and self-sufficiency among the marginalised
communities.

that are critical sources of irrigation for these communities
living in dry and rain-fed areas, and created capacities to
harvest and store 203 lakh cubic metres of rain water in
the last one year (447 lakh cubic metres since inception).

RIL partners with knowledge providers,
institutions,

HEALTHCARE
Over the years, the Foundation has been working towards
enhancing
India’s access to quality and affordable
healthcare. The Foundation’s integrated healthcare model
aims to reach out to the most vulnerable sections of society,
through a network of healthcare delivery mechanisms and
awareness and diagnostic specialty camps. It is committed
to contributing towards the nation’s efforts in achieving
the Millennium Development Goals of the United Nations
and aims to support the efforts, especially in the field of
maternal and child health care.

by the respiration of the living organisms in the
ecological system of a sealed storage.
Silo Recron Green Products is a Bulk Grain Storage
system which is a low cost alternative to fixed

for
Rice Husk PVC Composites are manufactured
using PVC resin, additives and Rice Husk (Husk
generated during milling). As these products
perform equally well compared to wood, they
have potential to save forest coverage of the
country by reducing the demand of wood.
The husk generated during milling of rice is
mostly used in the boilers for processing paddy,
producing energy through direct combustion
and/or by gasification. The ash generated as
a result is a great environment threat causing
damage to the land and the surrounding area in
which it is dumped.
Workers using Silo Bags for Grain Storage
The basic principle is to keep the grain in a modified
atmosphere, low in oxygen and with a high
concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2). Once filled,
the bag is sealed. The conditions within the bag
thereafter control the breading of vermin, insects
and fungi, eliminating the need for fumigation .

In order to dispose of the waste effectively, the
Company audits its processors’ operations to ensure
that credible disposal practices. RIL prefers vendors
who undertake green initiatives and reduce, reuse,
recycle as a continuous exercise. The Company takes
highest care in safe handling of its materials and also
does reconnaissance of entire logistics handling/
storage from supplier factory to its gate. Through
it’s large scale new capacity addition projects, it has
enabled the creation of a large engineering base in
India.
Steps taken to procure goods and services from
local and small producers, including communities
and capability building activities undertaken for
local and small vendors
RIL has invested in mega projects and operations
in India. These investments have developed India’s
chemicals and engineering supplier base. Today
leading Indian engineering companies, raw materials
companies and industrial goods companies are RIL’s
its sustained
long-term vendor partners. Through
efforts, the Company has helped local industry develop
new products to serve its needs and enabled them to
grow their businesses globally. While RIL always believes
in working with highest capability vendors, majority of
its suppliers and contractors are India based.
RIL’s manufacturing sites act as economic nerve
centres for local communities. The Company ensures
that it engages local villagers and small businesses
around its plants in variety of productive employment
especially through vehicle hiring, material handling,
housekeeping, waste-handling and horticulture
contracts. Some of these vendors have been
serving the Company’s manufacturing sites for
the past two generations. These contracts have
led to entrepreneurship development around the
manufacturing sites and have created employment
for the populace.
CASE STUDY- JOINT DEVELOPMENT OF APE
FREE SPIN FINISH FOR PSF
RIL has been working hand-in-hand with one of its
long time suppliers of speciality chemicals, Croda,
for adopting sustainable products/ technologies.
Spin finishes are speciality chemicals (surfactants)
used during manufacture of polyester fibres.
Depending on the application, the spin finish may
be washed off during production or remain on the
fibre to deliver some processing characteristics
to the fibre. Alkyl Phenol Ethokylate (APE) based
surfactants are used in the industry due to their very
high performance. However studies have indicated
that APEs are slow to degrade, bio-accumulate,
toxic to aquatic organisms and endocrine disruptor
in higher animals. In an endeavour to create spin
finishes that are sustainable and environment
friendly, RIL, along with Croda, worked to develop
spin finishes that are APE free and also compliant
with Öko-Tex Standard (independent testing and
certification system for textile products).

Mechanism to recycle products and waste and the
percentage of recycling of products and waste
(separately as <5%, 5-10%, >10%)
RIL considers waste minimisation as the first
step towards responsible management of waste.
Through process technology and operational
intends to minimise the
control measures,
generation of product or process waste. However,
considering the nature of its operations, there
is a certain amount of waste generation which
is
inevitable. Recycling and reusing of waste
helps the Company in reducing its environmental
impact while at the same time improving the
material efficiency of the operations.
In this
direction, RIL has taken various measures such
as converting waste to organic manure and bio-
gas generation, recycling of used oil, slop oil and
oily sludge at Jamnagar plant, recycling of waste
PET bottles at Hazira, Nagothane, Hoshiarpur
and Barabanki plants and recycling of used/
waste oil, spent catalysts through authorised
re-processors.
RIL ensures responsible disposal of waste generated
by partnering with various agencies to encourage
end-of-life recycling and reuse. The industrial waste
generated at the Naroda plant is converted into useful
‘bio-manure’ by the vermi-composting method,
thereby reducing the load of waste disposal on the
environment.
Jamnagar Refinery
The Jamnagar refinery has reduced its load on
the environment by tapping and desalinating
sea water instead of using fresh water resources.
The waste water generated is treated and used for
green belt development thereby ensuring zero
effluent discharge.
Continuous focus on waste minimisation, reuse and
recycle help the Company in reducing consumption
of virgin material.
RIL has recycled treated waste water across its
manufacturing divisions.
RIL is recycling about 60000 tons/year of polyester
both industrial and consumer waste, and has plans to
expand further in recycling capacity.
Polyester fabric waste recycling: Work is underway
to develop a process to recover polyester component
of fabrics and enzymatically hydrolyse the products
of non- polyester components like cotton and viscose
to glucose. As a value addition, this glucose can be
consumed for production of various biochemicals
while the polyester recovered can be recycled.
CASE STUDY- OPTIMISATION OF EFFLUENT
TREATMENT OPERATIONS AT HAZIRA
MANUFACTURING DIVISION
Primary treatment is done for individual effluent
streams at the plant level as per the requirement.
These streams are then segregated into Low Total
Dissolved Solids (LTDS) streams and High Total
Dissolved Solids (HTDS) streams and led to separate
LTDS Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) and HTDS ETP
respectively. The effluent at both the LTDS and HTDS
ETPs are sequentially treated in primary, secondary
and tertiary treatment facilities. Treated effluents
from HTDS ETP are discharged outside after ensuring
that quality of the effluent meets or is better than
the prescribed discharge standards. The treated
effluent from LTDS ETP are further processed through
reverse osmosis plant and recycled as make-up water
to cooling towers. About 8000 m3/day of treated
effluent (25% of total volume) is thus reused as make-
up water to cooling tower, reducing requirement of
freshwater for the complex.
Principle 3
Businesses should promote the well-being of all
employees
RIL believes in its people power propelling its
progressive growth. Their knowledge, experience
and passion to perform are fundamental to building
the organisation further. Hence at RIL, it provides
employees with opportunities that encourage
them to excel. RIL ensures a work environment that

Identification and assessment of potential
environmental risks
RIL has
assessed potential
and
environmental risks for FY 2014-15. RIL has systems in
place that ensure continuous monitoring of potential
environmental risks involved in its operations. For
new and upcoming projects, potential environmental
risks are identified while preparing Environment
Impact Assessment (EIA) and Risk Assessment reports.
Accordingly, identified potential environmental risks
are addressed at the design stage and also mitigated
through
incorporation of robust environmental
management plan. Environmental audits are carried
out regularly which help in identifying potential risks
and necessary corrective actions are taken to mitigate
the same.
All the manufacturing divisions are certified as per
the ISO-14001 environment management system
and integrated with quality and safety management
systems (ISO 9001 and OHSAS 18001). In addition,
all these sites have also been covered under the
British Safety Council UK’s environment five star
audit. The periodic audits conducted as part of these
management systems help RIL identify potential risks
at its locations.

The measures highlighted in the environmental
assessments are addressed in a timely manner and
monitored accordingly. Mitigation measures and
environmental parameters are internalised at all
stages of project design, execution, construction,
operation and maintenance.

Process for CO2 capture from refinery flue gas:
Work is underway to further reduce emissions
through CO2 capture, storage, and further
utilisation for conversion to useful chemicals.
The patented RIL process for development of
in-house adsorbent and energy efficient CO2
capture process follows carbonate-bicarbonate
chemistry for adsorption and regeneration step
with minimum operating expense as compared
to conventional amine absorption process. The
results of recently concluded pilot plant study
provide definite indications towards the efficacy
and scalability of this adsorption process for
capturing CO2 from both oil refinery and power
plant. These works support RIL’s commitment to
ameliorating long-term environmental issues.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT
“Between my past, the present and the future,
there is one common factor: Relationship and
Trust. This is the foundation of our growth.”
- Founder Chairman Shri Dhirubhai H. Ambani
In accordance with Clause 49 of the Listing Agreement
with BSE Limited (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange
of India Limited (NSE), the report containing the details of
Corporate Governance systems and processes at Reliance
Industries Limited is as follows:
At Reliance Industries Limited (RIL), Corporate Governance
is all about maintaining a valuable relationship and
trust with all stakeholders. We consider stakeholders
as partners in our success, and we remain committed
to maximising stakeholders’ value, be it shareholders,
employees, suppliers, customers, investors, communities
or policy makers. This approach to value creation
emanates from our belief that sound governance system,
based on relationship and trust, is integral to creating
enduring value for all. We have a defined policy framework
for ethical conduct of businesses. We believe that any
business conduct can be ethical only when it rests on the
six core values of Customer Value, Ownership Mindset,
Respect, Integrity, One Team and Excellence.
STATEMENT ON COMPANY’S PHILOSOPHY ON
CODE OF GOVERNANCE
Corporate Governance encompasses a set of systems and
practices to ensure that the Company’s affairs are being
managed in a manner which ensures accountability,
transparency and fairness in all transactions in the widest
sense. The objective is to meet stakeholders’ aspirations
and societal expectations. Good governance practices
stem from the dynamic culture and positive mindset of the
organisation. We are committed to meet the aspirations of
all our stakeholders. This is demonstrated in shareholder
returns, high credit ratings, governance processes and an
entrepreneurial performance focused work environment.
Additionally, our customers have benefited from high
quality products delivered at extremely competitive
prices.
The essence of Corporate Governance lies in promoting
and maintaining integrity, transparency and accountability
in the management’s higher echelons. The demands of
Corporate Governance require professionals to raise their
competence and capability levels to meet the expectations
in managing the enterprise and its resources effectively
with the highest standards of ethics. It has thus become
crucial to foster and sustain a culture that integrates all
components of good governance by carefully balancing
the complex
inter-relationship among the Board of
Directors, Audit Committee, Finance, Compliance and
Assurance teams, Auditors and the senior management.
Our employee satisfaction is reflected in the stability of
our senior management, low attrition across various levels
and substantially higher productivity. Above all, we feel
honoured to be integral to India’s social development.
Details of several such initiatives are available in the
Report on Corporate Social Responsibility.
At RIL, we believe that as we move closer towards our
aspirations of being a global corporation, our Corporate
Governance standards must be globally benchmarked.
Therefore, we have institutionalised the right building
blocks for future growth. The building blocks will ensure
that we achieve our ambition in a prudent and sustainable
manner. RIL not only adheres to the prescribed Corporate
Governance practices as per Clause 49 of the Listing
Agreement with the Stock Exchanges in India (Listing
Agreement), but is also committed to sound Corporate
Governance principles and practices.
It constantly
strives to adopt emerging best practices being followed
worldwide. It is our endeavour to achieve higher standards
and provide oversight and guidance to the management
in strategy
implementation, risk management and
fulfilment of stated goals and objectives.
Over the years, we have strengthened governance
practices. These practices define the way business is
conducted and value is generated. Stakeholders’ interests
are taken into account, before making any business
decision. RIL has the distinction of consistently rewarding
its shareholders over 37 eventful years from its first IPO.
Since then, RIL has moved from one big idea to another
and these milestones continue to fuel its relentless pursuit
of ever-higher goals.
On stand-alone basis, we have grown by a Compounded
Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of Revenues 25.8%, EBITDA
26.4% and Net Profit 27.4%. The financial markets have
endorsed our sterling performance and the market
capitalization has increased by CAGR of 31.7% during
the same period. In terms of distributing wealth to
our shareholders, apart from having a track record of
uninterrupted dividend payout, we have also delivered
consistent unmatched shareholder returns since listing.
The result of our initiative is our ever widening reach
and recall. Our shareholder base has grown from 52,000
after the IPO to a consolidated present base of around 2.8
million.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND THE STATE OF
COMPANY’S AFFAIRS
The highlights of the Company’s performance are as
under:
Revenue from operations decreased by 15.1% to
` 3,40,814 crore ($ 54.5 billion).
Exports decreased by 17.1% to ` 2,28,651 crore
($ 36.6 billion).
PBDIT increased by 1.3% to ` 40,323 crore ($ 6.5 billion).
Profit before Tax increased by 5.9% to ` 29,468 crore
($ 4.7 billion).
Cash Profit increased by 3.4% to ` 31,832 crore
($ 5.1 billion).
Net Profit
increased by 3.3% to ` 22,719 crore
($ 3.6 billion).
Gross Refining Margin was $ 8.6 / bbl for the year ended
March 31, 2015.
from operations of the
The consolidated revenue
Company for year ended March 31, 2015 was down by
13% to ` 3,88,494 crore ($ 62.2 billion). The decline in
turnover reflects a sharp fall in crude oil prices during the
second half of the year. Strong operating performance
from the refining business and stable petrochemicals
business performance led to higher operating profits.
Consolidated operating profits before other income and
depreciation increased by 7.3% on a year on year basis from
` 34,799 crore to ` 37,364 crore. Profit after Tax was higher
by 4.8% at ` 23,566 crore as against ` 22,493 crore in the
previous year.
The financial year 2014-15 has been a very successful and
important year for the Company. The Company’s refining
business delivered record earnings in a year when the
collapse of oil prices unsettled the hydrocarbons market.
During the year, RIL Jamnagar refineries processed
67.9 MMT of crude, achieving an average utilization rate
of 110%. The Company was able to capitalize on the
market conditions through its operational excellence,
higher efficiency and well executed strategies around
crude sourcing and product placement. The revenue
from Petrochemicals segment decreased reflecting lower
product prices resulting from sharp decline in crude and
feedstock prices.

gas in 2014-15, reflecting a growth of 12% in case of
Condensate and a reduction of 3% and 12% of Crude Oil
and Natural Gas respectively on a year on year basis. The
decline in production was largely due to natural decline
in fields coupled with partial shutdown of MA field due to

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF
RELIANCE INDUSTRIES LIMITED
REPORT ON THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have audited the accompanying standalone financial
statements of Reliance Industries Limited (“the Company”), which
comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2015, the Profit and
Loss Statement, the Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended
and a summary of significant accounting policies and other
explanatory information.
MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE STANDALONE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters
stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) with
respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements
that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial
performance and cash flows of the Company in accordance with
the accounting principles generally accepted in India including
the Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the
Act, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014.
This responsibility also
includes maintenance of adequate
accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act
for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing
and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and
application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments
and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design,
implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial
controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy
and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the
preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a
true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error.
AUDITORS’ RESPONSIBILITY
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these standalone
financial statements based on our audit.
We have taken into account the provisions of the Act, the
accounting and auditing standards and matters which are
required to be included in the audit report under the provisions
of the Act and the Rules made thereunder.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards
on Auditing specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Those
Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements
and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free from material
misstatements.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence
about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment,
including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of
the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making
those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal financial
control relevant to the Company’s preparation of the financial
statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for
the purpose of expressing an opinion on whether the Company
has in place an adequate internal financial controls system over
financial reporting and the operating effectiveness of such
controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness
of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the
accounting estimates made by the Company’s directors, as well
as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the
standalone financial statements.
OPINION
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according
to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone
financial statements give the information required by the
Act in the manner so required and give a true and fair view
in conformity with
the accounting principles generally
accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at
March 31, 2015, and its profit and its cash flows for the year ended
on that date.
OTHER MATTERS
The financial statements and other financial information include
the Company’s proportionate share in jointly controlled assets of
` 967 crore, liabilities of ` 190 crore, expenditure of ` 440 crore
and the elements making up the Cash Flow Statement and
related disclosures in respect of an Unincorporated Joint Venture
which is based on statements from the respective Operators and
certified by the management.
Our opinion is not qualified / modified in respect of this matter.
REPORT ON OTHER LEGAL AND REGULATORY
REQUIREMENTS

a)
We have sought and obtained all the information and
explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief
were necessary for the purposes of our audit;

In our opinion, the aforesaid standalone financial statements
comply with the Accounting Standards specified under
Section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the Companies

In case of producing field and fields where development of drilling activities are in progress, the geological and
reservoir simulation are updated as and when new well information is available. In all cases, reserve evaluation
is carried out at least once in a year.
The reserves estimates related to KGD6 and NEC25 have been revised. During the year, the Company recognized
reserves towards CB10 block post review of Declaration of Commerciality (DoC) by Management Committee.
The Government of India (GoI), by its letters dated 2nd May 2012, 14th November 2013 and 10th July 2014 has
communicated that it proposes to disallow certain costs which the Production Sharing Contract (PSC), relating
to KG-DWN-98/3 entitles the Company to recover. Based on legal advice received, the Company continues
to maintain that a Contractor is entitled to recover all of its costs under the terms of the PSC and there are no
provisions that entitle the GoI to disallow the recovery of any Contract Cost as defined in the PSC. The Company
has already referred the issue to arbitration and already communicated the same to GoI for the resolution of
dispute. Pending decision of the arbitration, the demand from the GoI of $ 117 million ( ` 731 crores) being
the Company’s share (total demand $ 195 million) towards additional Profit Petroleum has been considered
as contingent liability.
In supersession of the Ministry’s Gazette notification no. 22011/3/2012-ONG.D.V. dated 10th January, 2014,
the GoI notified the New Domestic Natural Gas Pricing Guidelines, 2014, on 25th October 2014. As per new
notification, GoI had revised the price of Gas to $ 5.05 per MMBTU on Gross Calorific Value (GCV) basis from
the existing price of $ 4.205 on Net Calorific Value (NCV) basis per MMBTU with effect from 01st November
2014 for the period from November 2014 to March 2015. Consequent to the aforesaid dispute referred to
under 33.2 (d) above which has been referred to arbitration, the GoI has directed the Company to instruct
customers to deposit differential revenue on gas sales from D1D3 field on account of the price determined
under the guidelines converted to NCV basis and the prevailing price prior to 1st November 2014 ($ 4.205 per
MMBTU) to be credited to the gas pool account maintained by GAIL (India) Limited. The amount so deposited
by customer to Gas Pool Account is ` 147 crore as at 31st March 2015 is disclosed under Other Long Term
Loans and Advances. Revenue has been recognized at the GoI notified price of $ 5.05 MMBTU on GCV basis,
in respect of gas quantities sold from D1D3 field from 1st November 2014.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF
RELIANCE INDUSTRIES LIMITED
REPORT ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial
statements of RELIANCE INDUSTRIES LIMITED (“the Company”),
its subsidiaries and its joint ventures (collectively referred to as
“the Group”) which comprise the Consolidated Balance Sheet as
at 31st March, 2015, the Consolidated Profit and Loss Statement
and the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement for the year then
ended, and a summary of the significant accounting policies and
other explanatory information.
MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters
stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)
with respect to the preparation of these consolidated financial
statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position,
financial performance and cash flows of the Group in accordance
with the accounting principles generally accepted in India,
including the Accounting Standards specified under section 133
of the Act, read with rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules,
2014. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate
accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the
Act for safeguarding the assets of the Group and for preventing
and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and
application of the appropriate accounting policies; making
judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate
internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for
ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting
records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the
consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view
and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud
or error.
AUDITORS’ RESPONSIBILITY
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audit.
We have taken into account the provisions of the Act, the
accounting and auditing standards and matters which are
required to be included in the audit report under the provisions
of the Act and the Rules made thereunder.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards
on Auditing specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Those
standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the consolidated financial statements are free from
material misstatements.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence
about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s
judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material
misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether
due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal financial control relevant to the Company’s
preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial
statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for
the purpose of expressing an opinion on whether the Company
has in place an adequate internal financial controls system over
financial reporting and the operating effectiveness of such
controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness
of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the
accounting estimates made by the Company’s Directors, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated
financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the
consolidated financial statements.

to the explanations given to us, and based on the consideration

Annual Report 2014-15
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ON CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTS
A.
BASIS OF PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared to comply with the Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles in India (Indian GAAP), including the Accounting Standards notified under the relevant provisions of the
Companies Act, 2013.
B.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements relate to Reliance Industries Limited (‘the Company’) and its subsidiary
companies, associates and joint ventures. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the following
basis:
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
f )
g)
h)
i)
j)
k)
The financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary companies are 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 in accordance with Accounting Standard (AS)
21 - “Consolidated Financial Statements”
Interest in Joint Ventures have been accounted by using the proportionate consolidation method as per
Accounting Standard (AS) 27 - “Financial Reporting of Interest in Joint Ventures”.
In case of foreign subsidiaries, being non-integral foreign operations, revenue items are 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 Exchange Fluctuation
Reserve.
The difference between the cost of investment in the subsidiaries, over the net assets at the time of acquisition
of shares in the subsidiaries is recognised in the financial statements as Goodwill or Capital Reserve, as the
case may be.
The difference between the proceeds from disposal of investment in subsidiaries and the carrying amount of
its assets less liabilities as of the date of disposal is recognised in the consolidated Profit and Loss Statement
being the profit or loss on disposal of investment in subsidiary.
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.
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.
Investment in Associate Companies has been accounted under the equity method as per Accounting
Standard (AS) 23 - “Accounting for Investments in Associates in Consolidated Financial Statements”.
The Company accounts for its share of post acquisition changes in net assets of associates, after eliminating
unrealised profits and losses resulting from transactions between the Company and its associates to
the extent of its share, through its Consolidated Profit and Loss Statement, to the extent such change is
attributable to the associates’ Profit and Loss Statement and through its reserves for the balance based on
available information.
The difference between the cost of investment in the associates and the share of net assets at the time of
acquisition of shares in the associates is identified in the financial statements as Goodwill or Capital Reserve
as the case may be.
As far as possible, the consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies for
like transactions and other events in similar circumstances and are presented in the same manner as the
Company’s separate financial statements.
Investments other than in subsidiaries and associates have been accounted as per Accounting Standard (AS) 13 on
“Accounting for Investments”.
Other significant accounting policies
These are set out under “Significant Accounting Policies” as given in the Company’s separate financial statements.

2.1 What are the modes by which the dividend is
paid?
Dividend is paid under four modes viz:
a. National Electronic Clearing Services (NECS)
b. National Electronic Fund Transfer (NEFT)
c. Direct Credit to shareholders’ account by bank
d. Physical dispatch of Dividend Warrant
2.2 What is payment of dividend through NECS
facility and how does it operate?
NECS facility is a centralised version of ECS facility.
The NECS system takes advantage of the centralised
accounting system in banks. Accordingly, the account
of a bank that is submitting or receiving payment
instructions
is debited or credited centrally at
Mumbai. The branches participating in NECS can,
however, be located anywhere across the length and
breadth of the country.

2.3
What are the benefits of NECS (payment
through electronic facilities)?
Some of the major benefits are :
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
Investor need not make frequent visits to
his bank for depositing the physical paper
instruments.
Prompt credit is given to the bank account of
the investor through electronic clearing.
Fraudulent encashment of warrants is avoided.
Exposure to delays / loss in postal service are
avoided.
Issue of duplicate warrants is avoided as there
can be no loss in transit of warrants.
2.7
2.4 How to avail of NECS facility?
Investors holding shares in physical form may send
their NECS Mandate Form, duly filled in, to the
Company’s R&TA. The Form may be downloaded
from the Company’s website www.ril.com under the
section “Investor Relations”.
However, if shares are held in dematerialised form,
NECS mandate has to be sent to the concerned DP
directly, in the format prescribed by the DP.
2.8
Investors must note that NECS essentially operates
on the new and unique bank account number,
allotted by banks post implementation of Core
Banking Solutions (CBS) for centralized processing of
inward instructions and efficiency in handling bulk
transactions.
In this regard, shareholders are requested to furnish
the new bank account number allotted by the banks
post implementation of CBS, along with a copy of
cheque pertaining to the concerned account:
(a)
(b)
to the R&TA of the Company in case the
shareholders hold shares in physical form; and
to the concerned DP in case the shareholders
hold shares in demat form.
2.5 Can investors opt out of NECS facility?
Investors have a right to opt out from this mode
of payment by giving an advance notice of four
weeks, prior to payment of dividend, either to the
Company’s R&TA or to the concerned DP, as the case
may be.
2.9
2.6
What is payment of dividend through NEFT
facility and how does it operate?
NEFT is a nation-wide payment system facilitating
electronic transfer of funds from one account to
another. Dividend payment through NEFT denotes
payment of dividend electronically through RBI
clearing to selected bank branches which have
implemented Core Banking Solutions (CBS). This
extends to all over the country, and is not necessarily
restricted to the 91 designated centres where
payment can be handled through ECS. To facilitate
payment through NEFT, the shareholder is required
to ensure that the bank branch where his/her
account is operated, is under CBS and also records
the particulars of the new bank account with the DP
with whom the demat account is maintained.
What is payment of dividend through
direct credit and how does it operate?
The Company will be appointing a bank as its
Dividend banker for distribution of dividend. The
said banker will carry out direct credit to those
investors who are maintaining accounts with the
said bank, provided the bank account details are
registered with the DP for dematerialised shares
and / or registered with the Company’s R&TA prior to
the payment of dividend for shares held in physical
form.
What should a shareholder do in case of
non-receipt of dividend?
Shareholders may write to the Company’s R&TA,
furnishing the particulars of the dividend not
received and quoting the folio number /DPID and
Client ID particulars (in case of dematerialised
shares). On expiry of the validity period, if the
dividend warrant is still shown as unpaid in the
records of the Company, duplicate warrant will be
issued. The R&TA would request the concerned
shareholder to execute an indemnity before issuing
the duplicate warrant.
No duplicate warrants will be issued against those
shares wherein a ‘stop transfer indicator’ has been
instituted either by virtue of a complaint or by law,
unless the procedure for releasing the same has
been completed.
Why do the shareholders have to wait till
the expiry of the validity period of the
original warrant for issue of duplicate
warrant?
Since the dividend warrants are payable at par
at several centres across the country, banks do
not accept ‘stop payment’
instructions. Hence,
shareholders have to wait till the expiry of the
validity of the original warrant for issue of duplicate
warrant. Validity of dividend warrant is three months
from the date of issue of the warrant.

Share certificates along with a request letter duly
signed by all the joint holders may be sent to the
Company’s R&TA for change in order of names, known
as ‘transposition’. Transposition can be done only
for the entire holdings under a folio and therefore,
requests for transposition of part holding cannot be
accepted by the Company / R&TA. For shares held in
demat form, investors are advised to approach their
DP concerned for transposition of the names.
What is the procedure for obtaining
duplicate share certificate(s) in case of
loss / misplacement of original share
certificate(s)?
Shareholders who have lost / misplaced share
certificate(s) should inform the Company’s R&TA,
immediately about
loss of share certificate(s),
quoting their folio number and details of share
certificate(s), if available.
The R&TA shall immediately mark a ‘stop transfer’
on the folio to prevent any further transfer of
shares covered by the lost share certificate(s). It is
recommended that the shareholders should lodge
a FIR with police station regarding loss of share
certificate(s).
They should send their request for duplicate share
certificate(s) to the Company’s R&TA and submit
documents as required by the R&TA.
5.11
What is the procedure to get
the certificates issued in various
denominations consolidated into a single
certificate?
Consolidation of share certificates helps in saving
costs in the event of dematerialising shares and
also provides convenience in holding the shares
physically. Shareholders having certificates
in
various denominations under the same folio should
send all the certificates to the Company’s R&TA
for consolidation of all the shares into a single
certificate.
If the shares are not under the same folio but have
the same order of names, the shareholder should
write to the Company’s R&TA for the prescribed
form for consolidation of folios. This will help the
investors to efficiently monitor their holding and
the corporate benefits receivable thereon.

Scheme for disposal of ‘Odd Lot’ Equity
Shares
At the Annual General Meeting of the Company held
on June 26, 1998, Company’s Founder Chairman Shri
Dhirubhai H. Ambani, announced, for the benefit of
small shareholders, a scheme for disposal of ‘Odd Lot’

discount for odd lots.

SHAREHOLDERS’ REFERENCER (CONTINUED)
COMPANY’S RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE
SHAREHOLDERS / INVESTORS
Consolidate Multiple Folios
Investors should consolidate their shareholding
held in multiple folios. This would facilitate one-stop
tracking of all corporate benefits on the shares and
would reduce time and efforts required to monitor
multiple folios.
Opt for Corporate Benefits in Electronic
Form
In case of non-cash corporate benefits like split
of shares / bonus shares, the holders of shares
in physical form must opt to get the shares in
electronic form by providing the details of demat
account to the R&TA.
Exercise caution
There is likelihood of fraudulent transfers in case of
folios with no movement or where the shareholder
has either expired or is not residing at the address
registered with the Company. Company should be
updated on any change of address or contact details.
Similarly,
information of death of shareholder
should also be communicated.
Mode of Postage
Share certificates and high value dividend / interest
warrants / cheques / demand drafts should not
be sent by ordinary post. It is recommended
that investors should send such instruments by
registered post or courier.
