Growing Stronger to Care Better
Reliance played a leading
role in caring for India and
Indians in the last couple
of years of the pandemic.
We now aim to care for
the Planet as we embark
on our most exciting
transformation – the Green
Transformation.
Shri Mukesh D. Ambani
Chairman and Managing Director,
Reliance Industries
Dear and Esteemed Fellow Shareholders,
From the very inception, we at
Reliance have believed that a
corporate is much more than an
economic unit generating wealth. It is
an integral part of the social system
catering to human and societal
needs and aspirations. The painful
period of the COVID-19 pandemic
brought out Reliance’s spirit of
societal service like never before. The
way the whole Reliance Family worked
with a sense of national duty in this
period was most satisfying to me, and
I am sure, to all of you as well.
We were able to quickly change
and repurpose our processes, our
policies, our roles and responsibilities,
our plants, our systems with a single
motive – to support others. If the
production teams worked over
producing PPE kits or medical-grade
oxygen, the Jio and Retail teams
took care that no customer was left
without daily essentials or internet
services. The IT teams ensured
employees could work remotely, and
the HR teams ensured the employees
received the best possible social
security. Our Foundation hospitals
and internal medical teams ensured
all employees and their families
received timely medical help
regardless of location, while creating
the largest COVID infrastructure pan-
India in the shortest possible time.
The Foundation teams took up the
mammoth responsibility of reaching
out to the most disadvantaged,
marginalised communities to ensure
nobody went hungry.
Each and every Reliance Family
member directly or indirectly
participated in the fight against
COVID. Each and every Reliance
Family member went beyond their
call of duty. Each and every Reliance
Family member became the Brand
Ambassador of Reliance’s spirit of
Care and Empathy. It is heartening to
see that together we have overcome
the worst. It is with great hope that I
look forward to the future of Reliance,
of India, as well as the entire world.
Taking volatility in stride
Just when we were about to heave
a sigh of relief, the rise in geopolitical
tensions have exposed the fault lines
in the global economy. Geopolitical
conflict has caused significant
dislocation in energy markets and
disrupted traditional trade flows.
The process of globalisation, which
drove the global economic growth
over the last four decades, appears
to have hit a wall. The cause of
economic inter-dependence that
globalisation promoted to help
align every country’s interests and,
thereby, help reduce conflicts, has
taken a back seat.
8
Fortunately, Reliance is better
equipped to face these uncertainties
today than ever before. Reliance
has built three extremely agile and
highly potent growth engines – Digital
Services, Retail and O2C – which
were all tested, and came out with
flying colours, during the COVID-led
extreme volatility. It is just last year
that Reliance deleveraged its balance
sheet to a net debt zero status.
Besides, India’s own strong growth
prospects over the next couple of
decades bodes well for Reliance.
Reliance has maintained its
leadership position among Indian
corporates for nearly three decades
now. It is Reliance’s ability to innovate,
to build in unparalleled flexibility, to
transform itself from time to time
and the great conviction in India’s
capability to compete globally
at world-scale, which has helped
the Company stay at the top and
continue making newer records.
Green transformation
begins
Getting bigger and stronger only
means Reliance is ready to take
up even greater responsibilities
to serve not just the surrounding
communities or India, but also the
whole planet. Reliance has made a
firm commitment to become one of
the world’s leaders in the fight against
the crisis of climate change.
FY 2021-22 marked the beginning of
Reliance’s Green Transformation, at a
scale which will make India the world’s
leading green energy producer. We
know that affordability is the most
critical factor in the adoption of any
new technology and the scale of
societal benefit it can create. Reliance
has embarked on this journey with a
vision to repeat the feat it achieved
in wireless broadband. In the field of
Green Energy – Reliance will develop
end-to-end Green Energy solutions,
which will make clean and abundant
energy available to everyone at the
most affordable price. Just as India
has the world’s most affordable
wireless broadband today, we will
have the world’s most affordable
Green Energy within this decade. And
these solutions will then be exported
to other countries, helping them
contain carbon emissions.
Leveraging its world-class execution
capability and the strong debt-
free balance sheet, Reliance
has committed to improving the
economics of this Green ecosystem
to directly compete with the fossil
fuels. However, one cannot operate
in just one segment of the Green
Energy value chain and hope the
cost-efficient ecosystem will come up
on its own. Reliance has undertaken
to enable the entire Green Energy
ecosystem throughout India starting
with solar power generation, to
production of green hydrogen to its
distribution and consumption.
Green Energy is a rapidly evolving
vast global industry with a lot of
technological innovation under
way. To guide on this path, we
established the Reliance New Energy
Council with some of the globally
renowned thought leaders in the
field. To kickstart the initiative, last
year Reliance announced a $10 billion
capex commitment over three years.
We entered into a series of
partnerships, including equity
investments, with local and
international corporates with
unique technological and execution
capabilities, with a strong track record
of innovation and a growing number
of patents and IPRs across the Green
Energy value chain.
Reliance’s partnerships include
companies like Ambri in the
US, Faradion in the UK and The
Netherlands-based Lithium Werks in
the energy storage space.
Similarly, Reliance invested in
Germany’s NexWafe, which is a
pioneer in next-gen technology to
produce monocrystalline silicon
wafers needed in making solar
panels. We also acquired promoters’
stake in REC Solar – a global
technology leader in solar panel
manufacturing. Reliance picked
up a 40% stake in Sterling & Wilson
Renewable Energy – one of the world’s
leading EPC turnkey contractors in
large scale solar projects.
In the Hydrogen ecosystem, Reliance
joined hands with the US-based Chart
Industries to set up India H2 Alliance
to commercialise hydrogen
technology and develop a supply
chain in collaboration with other
Indian stakeholders. We also entered
into an agreement with Denmark’s
Stiesdal A/S for its innovative next-gen
electrolyser technology, which has
the potential to reduce dramatically
the cost of producing hydrogen
from pure water.
Simultaneously, we began work on
the four Giga-factories at Dhirubhai
Ambani Green Energy Giga Complex
to set up world-scale production
capacity for solar panels, energy
storage systems, electrolysers and
fuel cells spread over 5,000 acres in
Jamnagar. Reliance will also invest in
creating an ecosystem of thousands
of small and medium scale
project consultants and installers
pan-India to set up Green Energy
generation projects in every nook
and corner of the country. Similarly,
Reliance will undertake large Giga
Watt scale turnkey Green Energy
projects for Power GenCos or large
investors on its own.
With these collaborations and
the Giga-factories, Reliance is set
to achieve a uniquely integrated
position in the Green Energy value
chain globally. This deep integration,
apart from the new-age technologies
and world-class execution
capabilities, will ensure Reliance’s
renewable energy systems stay at
the cutting edge of cost efficiency

too delivered robust earnings with
strong fuel margins.
Reliance posted a record high EBITDA
of `1,25,687 crore on a consolidated
basis for FY 2021-22, which was
28.8% up from the previous year.
The consolidated net profit for
the year stood at `67,845 crore –
again a new record.
The Company had achieved a net
debt-free status last year, thanks to
the largest ever capital raise we had
carried out in India Inc.'s history in
the previous year. During FY 2021-22,
the Company’s capex increased in
all businesses, due to which the year
closed with marginal net debt.
The Company continues to manage
its treasury operations actively
and efficiently to reduce interest
burden and lengthen maturities.
At the very beginning of FY 2021-22,
Reliance Industries made history
by raising a jumbo loan of $4 billion
on better terms than any corporate
in the Asian region with similar
credit profile. It was the largest-ever
foreign currency bond issuance from
India, with the lowest coupon rate
achieved for benchmark 30-year
and 40-year issuances by a private
sector BBB corporate from Asia ex-
Japan. Similarly, the Company paid
`30,791 crore to the Government of
India towards its 15 years of future
spectrum dues to save on annual
interest cost burden.
Executing our growth plans
Reliance’s diversified portfolio of
business verticals represent our
growth engines, where we have been
adding capabilities consistently.
During FY 2021-22, each one of these
growth engines moved into top gear,
cementing Reliance’s position further
as India’s largest company by sales,
profits as well as market value.
globally. Greater affordability and
competitive cost structures will ensure
massive adoption of Green Energy
solutions, providing a booster to
India’s Green Energy transition, as well
as helping our country to become
‘Atma Nirbhar’ in our energy needs.
A step towards
Net Carbon Zero
Reliance also took an important
step towards our goal to achieve net
carbon zero status by year 2035. We
initiated the process to separate the
petcoke gasification complex into a
Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, with an
aim to repurpose the unit and unlock
value through future collaborations.
Presently, the syngas produced at
the complex is used as fuel at the
Jamnagar complex and is a major
source of carbon emission. With
Reliance switching to green and
renewable energy for its energy
needs, syngas will become available
for upgradation to high value
petrochemicals and hydrogen fuel.
The highly concentrated stream of
CO2 in syngas can be easily captured
and sequestered. All these steps will
greatly reduce the carbon footprint of
the Jamnagar complex.
Financial and operational
performance FY 2021-22
Let me now elaborate on Reliance’s
operating and financial performance
during FY 2021-22.
During the year, Reliance was able
to overcome all the pandemic-led
difficulties to post another record
performance operationally as well as
financially with strong contribution
from all our businesses. Both the
consumer businesses, Retail and
Digital Services, recorded highest
ever revenues and EBITDA. The E&P
business also posted significantly
improved numbers with strong
volume growth and improved
realisations. The largest contributor
to our earnings – the O2C business

PG 54
PG 72
Braving the intermittent COVID
restrictions, the Retail business
continued to expand offline, as well
as online. It added nearly 8 million
sq ft of retail space taking its total
retail space to over 41.6 million sq
ft. Besides, the business added 11.1
million sq ft of warehousing space
during the year. Importantly, the
business created over 1,50,000 jobs
through the year.
The business posted all time high
revenues and EBITDA with steady
improvement in profit margins.
Growth was seen across all
product categories from Consumer
Electronics to Grocery to Apparel &
Footwear. Even the relatively smaller
segments of jewellery, pharma
and furniture & home décor, and
new businesses like Freshpik and
Milkbasket, witnessed rapid growth.
In our New Commerce initiative, the
focus remained on on-boarding
merchants during the year. FY 2021-22
witnessed over 3-fold jump in the
number of merchants onboarded as
compared to the previous year.
The Retail business continued to forge
partnerships across the value chain
to enhance customer experience and
product offerings. Throughout the
year, the Retail business invested over
`9,700 crore in these partnerships.
Jio maintained its market leadership
for a third year in a row through
FY 2021-22. Jio’s consumer offering,
including service quality and value,
continued to remain best-in-class,
which helped addition of over 130
million new customers during the
year. Subscriber churn at the lower-
end has resulted in Jio improving its
user engagement matrix, like data
and voice consumption per user, to a
record high level. Jio has the largest
single-country subscriber base and
carries the highest volume of data
traffic globally, excluding China.
In line with the industry, Jio raised
tariffs by ~20% across all prepaid
plans effective December 2021, while
ensuring that Jio continues to provide
the best value for money to all
consumers across every price point.
The year also saw Jio emerge as
the leader in fiber based wireline
broadband connectivity with over 5
million connected homes. The devices
powering Jio Fiber in Indian homes,
are working on the Jio operating
system – Jio OS – which has a rich
set of capabilities and customisation
options. The Jio Set Top Box has by
far the most compelling set of apps
– both from Jio and leading third
party apps – for streaming content
like movies, music, live news to video
calling. Jio’s pan-India optic fiber
cable network has already reached
the doorstep of almost 20 million
households, which underlines its rapid
growth potential.
Jio is working relentlessly to make
India 2G-mukt, so that even the
poorest of the poor can enjoy the
benefits of digital connectivity. The
progress of telecom technology
is making inefficient 2G obsolete.
The Jio revolution since 2016 has
already lowered the 4G tariffs below
the 2G tariffs in India. However,
handset affordability has proven
a major hurdle for over 250 million
Indians, preventing a transition to
digital networks.
To overcome this hurdle, Jio
launched JioPhone Next – world’s

The rapid growth in vaccinations and
reopening of economies helped a
strong economic recovery globally
in FY 2021-22. As a result, the global
demand for oil and transport fuels
grew rapidly and recovered by 6.8
mb/d to 98.5 mb/d in FY 2021-22, up
7.4% Y-o-Y. The rapid growth in fuel
demand supported the refining
margins. Reliance maintained high
level of capacity utilisation across
sites throughout the year.
The demand growth in downstream
chemicals, polymers and polyesters
was comparatively subdued, due
to the volatility in feedstock prices.
There was also a constraint on
global logistics and higher ocean
freights that weighed on the
business environment.
The availability of domestic gas as
well as internal fuels meant that we
could eliminate our dependence
on high-cost LNG.
All the while, we continued to
innovate and improve operationally.
We commissioned and stabilised
the Petroleum Naphtha quality
upgrade, capturing higher
premium. Likewise, Reliance won
the ‘Innovator of the Year’ award for
our proprietary catalyst RELCAT A for
manufacturing LLDPE.

In its true ethos of Care and Empathy,
Reliance has charted its next journey
of transformation to help the world
cope with the climate change
crisis. Over the next 12 months our
investments across the Green Energy
value chain will gradually start going
live, scaling up over the next couple

At the same time, Reliance continues
to expand its existing businesses
to newer frontiers of technology,
innovation, scale and execution.
Jio has already created the most
reliable connectivity infrastructure
throughout India, and is ready with an
array of value-added digital services

has the deepest grassroots level
pan-India supply chain capability,
the broadest supplier base, and a
network of kirana partners to provide
excellent service to end consumers.
Reliance’s O2C business is a global
leader in terms of level of integration
– a business model innovation that is
being emulated globally.
workers who risked their lives,
our teams at O2C, Jio, Retail and
Foundation, who helped not just the
Company, but also the society whom
we serve, navigate the difficult times.
All of Reliance’s capabilities are
created to serve India, to enable
Indians. I am sure India will emerge
stronger out of the current volatility,
just the way it did through the
last couple of years. India is set
to become one of the world’s top
three economies in the next couple
of decades, and all of Reliance’s
business verticals will play a
leading role in achieving that. India

leading role in the world’s transition
to Clean Energy.

With both these fields commissioning,
KG-D6 is now producing 18 MMSCMD
of natural gas, accounting for ~20% of
India's gas production.
The business posted significantly
improved financial performance,
thanks to a recovery in domestic
pricing of natural gas.
The third phase of KG-D6 project
is progressing as per plan. The
development of MJ field is nearing
completion of drilling activity, as
well as the offshore installations. The
project is expected to commission
by end 2022 and take our total
production to 30 MMSCMD.
In line with our strategic intentions,
Reliance exited all its remaining
investments in US shale gas this year.
Corporate Social
Responsibility and
Sustainability
PG 150
Reliance has always believed in
doing well by doing good. It is our firm
belief that the long-term success of a
corporate depends on giving back to
the society it operates in and ensuring
its operations are sustainable.
During FY 2021-22, Reliance Industries
continued to remain India Inc.'s
largest spender on Corporate Social
Responsibility.
During the year, Reliance and bp’s fuel
and mobility joint venture, Reliance BP
Mobility Limited (RBML), launched its
first Jio-bp branded Mobility Station
at Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra. This
kicked off the rebranding process for
all 1,460 fuel outlets the JV operates
in India with a view to provide an
unmatched and distinctive customer
experience. These Mobility Stations
bring together a range of services for
consumers on the move – including
additivised fuels, EV charging,
refreshments & food, and plan to offer
more low carbon solutions over time.
With a vision of being the leading
EV charging infrastructure player
in India, Jio-bp constructed and
launched couple of country's largest
EV charging hubs in Delhi NCR with
BluSmart as its primary customer.
Reliance’s world-class O2C assets
and very high level of backward
integration will continue to maximise
output and returns, and continue
to transition towards a sustainable,
carbon-neutral, circular economy
business in the coming years.
Oil and Gas E&P
PG 122
FY 2021-22 was a milestone year
for our Oil & Gas business, with
two of the three phases of KG-D6
development project commissioning.
Notwithstanding the difficulties
caused by the COVID pandemic,
Reliance and bp were able to
complete the work on Satellite
Cluster and R-Cluster fields to
start production and scale up
during the year.
The breadth and depth of work
Reliance Foundation carried out in
India’s fight against COVID was simply
astonishing. It set a new benchmark in
what a corporate foundation can do
and achieve, if it is determined and
focused. Reliance Foundation created
massive COVID-care infrastructure
pan-India, treating lakhs of patients. It
supplied free-of-cost medical oxygen
to over 1 lakh critical patients a day,
provided lakhs of PPE kits free-of-
cost to frontline workers, distributed
8.5+ crore free meals through
'Anna Seva' to the needy, 40+ lakh
vaccinations provided free of cost by
Reliance to support the nation in its
vaccination mission.
All the while, Reliance Foundation’s
work in the fields of Rural
Empowerment, Sports for Youth,
Education, Disaster Management
among others continued
to progress well.
Conclusion
The COVID-19 pandemic struck at a
time when the world was entering
a great phase of transformation.
Now that the pandemic is nearly
over, geopolitical tensions in several
parts of the world have come to a
boil. All this has resulted in significant
volatility, high inflationary pressure
and uncertainty in the energy
and commodity markets. Crude
oil prices, which had dipped into
negative territory at the start of 2020,
jumped to a 14-year peak of $130 at
the start of 2022.
Reliance is built to weather such
storms. Firstly, it is well diversified
across Digital Services, Retail
and Energy & Materials business.
Secondly, over the years it has
built in unparalleled level of agility
in each of its business verticals.
Thirdly, its global scale of operations
help in overcoming many hurdles.
And lastly, the Company’s balance
sheet has expanded, but is
extremely light on debt.

Industry Overview
Indian renewable energy sector is the fourth most attractive renewable energy market in the world.
India was ranked fourth in wind power, fifth in solar power and fourth in renewable power installed
capacity, as of 2020. (According to Renewable Energy Country Attractiveness index by EY.)
Demand Projection - Global
Global energy demand is likely
to increase from ~1,71,000 TWh to
~1,74,000 TWh in 2040.
• Renewables are likely to replace
coal (electricity) and crude oil
(transportation fuels)
for de-carbonisation
Crude oil demand likely to decrease
by 37% from 95 mmbpd (~56,700
TWh) to 60 mmbpd (~36,000 TWh).
• As part of this, transportation
fuels demand will be met by BEVs
(electricity from renewables)
and part by FCEVs (Hydrogen
generated from renewables),
impacting demand for crude oil
This is likely to result in increase in
the total electricity from renewable
sources.
• Renewables are likely to replace
~33,000 TWh of coal and ~20,700
TWh of crude oil demand and also
fulfil incremental energy demand
• Share of renewables in energy
basket is likely to increase 3.7x
from ~19,200 TWh (~11%) to ~71,200
TWh (~41%)
This transition will require multi-fold increase in
installed capacity of renewable energy from the current 2,800 GW
Demand Projection - India
India’s per capita energy demand
is about one-third that of the global
average
As quality of life improves, India’s
energy demand is likely to increase
from ~12,400 TWh to ~18,000 TWh by
2040
• Coal demand is likely to decrease
significantly by 54% from ~7,000
TWh to ~3,200 TWh.
• Crude oil demand is likely to
decrease by 11% from 6.2 mmbpd
(~3,650 TWh) to 5.5 mmbpd
(~3,250 TWh)
Renewables and natural gas are
likely to replace coal and crude oil
and supply incremental energy
demand
• Share of natural gas, in energy
basket, is likely to increase from
~750 TWh (~6%) to ~3,000 TWh (~16%)
• While share of renewables, is likely
to increase nearly 9x from ~900
TWh (~7%) to ~7,900 TWh (~44%)

Reliance has ingrained the principles of Environmental,

to create consistent and long-term value for its stakeholders.
Social
Very rarely in history has an organisation
transformed the way a society operates or
connects. By connecting millions of Indians
through affordable digital services, RIL has
brought about a revolution like no other.
Similarly, by innovating the New Commerce
channel, which helps onboard lakhs of small
mom and pop stores to a platform and
connect with a huge consumer base, RIL has
triggered unprecedented changes on the
ground. Social impact is thus ingrained in
RIL’s very ethos. Combined with the efforts of
Reliance Foundation, India’s largest corporate
philanthropy, RIL is today operating an inclusion-
focused, India-centric enterprise.
Environment
Acknowledging the real threat of climate change,
Reliance has set itself the ambitious goal of achieving
Net Carbon Zero status by 2035, and embarked on a 15-
year plan to build itself up as one of the world's leading
new energy and new materials companies. Reliance has
committed to invest `75,000 crore towards building New

Promoting Young India's
Entrepreneurial Zeal
JioGenNext was founded on our Chairman
Shri Mukesh D. Ambani's vision of nurturing startups as
he recognised early on that startups are a powerhouse
of talent, technology and innovative solutions that
are needed to resolve some of the country's most
longstanding problems.
Since its inception in 2014, JioGenNext has been
instrumental in catalysing the Indian entrepreneurial
ecosystem and has assisted numerous startups to
achieve scale by launching them in the Reliance
ecosystem.
Illustrious mentorship
To guide and support the startups
in various facets, JioGenNext has
built a rich mentor pool. It includes
RIL leaders such as Shri. B. Srinivasan
(President & Chief of Staff, RIL),
Shri. Rohit Bansal (Group Head of
Communications, RIL) and Dr. Shailesh
Kumar (Chief Data Scientist, Jio). Other
mentors include startup founders
of RIL investee companies such as
Shri. Aakrit Vaish (Haptik), Shri. Arvind

Market Access Program
launched to help
early-stage startups
achieve scale
In FY 2021-22, JioGenNext launched its
Market Access Program (MAP ‘21) with
11 high potential startups.
MAP focuses on providing
advice and opportunities to
startups on two tracks:
RIL / Jio access
To build bridges for founders in the
RIL / Jio ecosystem; establish and
accelerate interactions for startups
with internal stakeholders to explore
partnerships and opportunities
that can help them scale fast.
It is a unique 'customers-as-
mentors' approach.
Business mentorship
To advise startups on product
innovation, go-to-market strategy,
hiring, marketing, fundraising
and product-market fit, which
decides a startup’s overall progress
as a business. The program is
customised and outcome oriented
for each startup.
MAP now works on an annual cohort,
where the program brings in startups
on a rolling basis throughout the year.
With MAP, JioGenNext aims to further
strengthen its value-add to startups
and build win-win partnerships in the
startup ecosystem.

Executing India’s
largest-ever
foreign currency
fundraise
RIL issued a US$-denominated
4 billion bond in January 2022,
the proceeds from which will be
primarily used for refinancing of
existing borrowings. The issue was
oversubscribed by nearly 3x with
a peak order book aggregating
to US$ 11.5 billion. The bonds were
priced through RIL’s secondary
curve. US$ 1.5 billion was raised
at a coupon rate of 2.875%; US$
1.75 billion was raised at 3.625%
and US$ 0.75 billion at 3.75%. The
notes are due for repayment
between 2032 and 2062. This
transaction is significant on various
counts. It is the:
• Largest-ever foreign currency
bond issuance from India
• Tightest ever implied credit
spread over the respective US
Treasury across each of the 3
tranches by an Indian Corporate
• Lowest coupon achieved for
benchmark 30-year and 40-
year issuances by a private
sector BBB corporate from Asia
ex-Japan
• First-ever 40-year tranche by
a BBB private sector corporate
from Asia ex-Japan
Global Economy
Global economy grew by 6.1% in
CY 2021, after declining 3.1% in
CY 2020. Global economy is
expected to grow at 3.2% in CY2022,
below the long term trend of ~3.5%,
primarily due to coordinated global
monetary policy tightening along
with the geopolitical tensions.
Advanced economies’ (AEs) universe
grew at a robust pace of 5.2% in CY
2021, and is expected to moderate
in CY 2022 at 2.5%, with US and
Euro Area growth expected at 2.3%
and 2.6% respectively, supported
by inventory restocking, universal
immunisation, and strong pent-up
demand from consumption and
businesses. China grew by 8.1% in
CY 2021, but is expected to slow to
3.3% in CY 2022 due to zero-tolerance
COVID-19 policy, stringent restrictions
on polluting industries and financial
stress among major property
developers. Global trade volume
growth was robust in CY 2021 at 10.1%,
and is expected to grow at a strong
pace of 4.1% in CY 2022.
Strong demand along with persistent
supply-chain issues and high energy
prices, have resulted in firming up of
global inflationary pressures. Recent
geopolitical tensions have further
exacerbated the global inflation
scenario. US inflation has continued
to inch up and recorded June 2022
CPI inflation at 9.1%, highest since
CY 1981, with broad-based rise in
price pressures, while Euro-Area
inflation climbed to a record 8.6%
in June, primarily led by energy
components. Crude oil averaged
at $ 75/bbl in Apr’21 – Jan’22 period
and above $100/bbl during Feb’22
– June'22 with outbreak of conflict
in Europe. Disruption in trade flows,
high energy prices and tightening of
crude and refining demand-supply,
along with strengthening of refining
margins to historical highs could
impact near-term demand growth.
Rise in inflationary pressures has
led global central banks to begin
reversal of their accommodative
monetary stance, with the US
Federal Reserve beginning the
taper of asset purchase program in
November 2021 and subsequently
raising interest rates by 225 bps
cumulatively since March.
Even though post-pandemic
reopening of the global economy is
expected to provide further impetus
to the demand, global monetary
policy tightening in the face of rising
inflationary pressures and geo-
political uncertainties could impact
the near-term demand outlook.. IMF
expects inflation to remain elevated
in the near-term averaging 6.6% in
AEs and 9.5% in emerging market and
developing economies (EMDEs) in
CY 2022, before subsiding in CY 2023
as supply chain disruptions ease and
demand rebalances take place.
Indian Economy
After witnessing a sharp decline
of 6.6% in FY 2020-21, the Indian
economy recorded a growth of 8.7%
in FY2021-22 as per the provisional
estimates by National Statistical
Office. This is the strongest pace
among major economies. The
economic expansion has been
supported by a strong national
vaccination drive that enabled
easing of COVID-19 related
restrictions. India administered more
than 177 crore doses of vaccine
during the financial year, thereby
fully vaccinating more than 60% of
its population.
The economic impact of the Omicron
COVID-19 variant was relatively mild
with most high-frequency indicators
above pre-pandemic level. Urban
demand remains strong with
improved mobility and debit and
credit card spending. Overall fuel
consumption grew by 4% in
FY 2021-22. Debit and credit card
spending increased by 26% Y-o-Y in
March 2022. However, overall auto
sales have been weak on the back
of persistent supply chain shortages
around the world.
Industrial indicators continued to
remain robust, with manufacturing
and services PMI in expansion
zone for most of the year. Electricity
demand for FY 2021-22 grew by
8% Y-o-Y, even after the economy
witnessed coal shortages in early
part of October 2021. Government
revenue generation remained robust
with GST collections averaging
more than `1.2 lakh crore per month,
increasing 31% Y-o-Y. Digital adoption
gathered further pace with growth in
UPI payments during FY 2021-22 rising
more than 100% Y-o-Y.
RBI maintained its accommodative
monetary stance, keeping reference
rates unchanged during FY 2021-22.
Subsequently, with rising inflationary
pressure, RBI raised repo rate by 90
bps, withdrawing its accommodative
stance. India’s merchandise exports
crossed US$400 billion during the
year, growing at more than 40% Y-o-Y
led by engineering goods, petroleum
products and gems & jewelry.
India's foreign exchange reserves
remained above $600 billion by the
end of FY 2021-22, providing a cushion
against external shocks. Indian
government's financial policy is
centered around growth and gradual
fiscal consolidation. With a budgeted
fiscal deficit of 6.4% for FY 2022-23,
focus remains on capital expenditure.
Major policy initiatives during the
year included continuation of COVID-
19-related relief measures and a
focus on Production linked incentive
(PLI) schemes in various key sectors
to provide impetus to investment,
growth and employment. As per
IMF India is expected to remain the
fastest growing economy in FY 2022-
23, growing at 7.4% led by expected
improvement in credit growth,
investment and consumption growth.

Revenue
Reliance achieved consolidated
revenue of `7,92,756 crore
(US$ 104.6 billion), an increase of
47.0%, as compared to `5,39,238
crore in the previous year. All
operating segments contributed to
the increase in gross revenue with
reopening of economies and revival
in demand. O2C revenue growth was
primarily on account of increase
in crude oil prices and higher price
realisation of downstream products
along with higher volumes. Revenue
of Oil & Gas segment increased
with higher production from KG D6
coupled with improved gas price
realisation. Retail Segment revenue
was driven by broad-based growth
across all consumption baskets
and ramp-up in digital and new
commerce. Digital Services revenue
was primarily driven by higher ARPU
and ramp up of wireline services.
Profit
Consolidated EBITDA for the year
increased by 28.8% to `1,25,687 crore
as compared to `97,580 crore in the
previous year. The EBITDA growth
was led by 38.1% increase in O2C
segment with recovery in demand
and fuel margins. Digital Services
segment EBITDA also grew by 18.3%
reflecting benefit of higher customer
engagement and tariff revision.
Retail segment EBITDA increased
by 26.2% with improvement in store
operations, higher footfalls, store
expansion and traction in omni-
channel offerings. Oil & Gas segment
EBITDA jumped 21x with successful
commissioning and ramp-up of
production from new fields.
Cash Profit increased by 38.8%
to `1,10,778 crore as compared to

The Company raised $9 billion from

resulting in substantial savings
in interest cost.
The Company issued US$ 4 billion

External Environment
The year gone by was a story of two
halves. The intermittent disruption in
economic activities during the first
half amid resurgence of new COVID-19
variant ensured the accommodative
financial conditions by systemic central
banks in a bid to support growth.
However, the persistent and renewed
intensification of inflationary pressure
due to continued disruption in global
supply chain, tighter labour market
and geo-political issues have swiftly
changed the landscape of global
monetary policy as we exited the
51
Reliance Industries LimitedIntegrated Annual Report 2021-22Management Discussion and Analysis — Financial Performance and Review financial year. The monetary policy
priority among advanced economies
is now decisively centered around
preserving consumer purchasing
power and to anchor inflationary
expectations amidst multi-decade
high inflation. The withdrawal of ultra-
accommodation both on the interest
rates and liquidity front is primarily
led by US Fed and has gained traction
in other developed economies
including Emerging Markets. The
outlook of sharp upward adjustment
in global interest rates and calibrated
withdrawal of liquidity is leading to
tighter financial conditions.
On the domestic front, the
reverberation of change in global
monetary landscape and rising
inflationary pressure has tilted
the balance in favour of gradual
withdrawal of policy accommodation.
The RBI has signalled this shift
in policy priority by pushing the
cost of domestic liquidity through
narrowing of LAF corridor, unlimited
sterilisation through new instrument
of Standing Deposit Facility (SDF)
and change in monetary policy
stance (MPC) to focus on withdrawal
of accommodation. The average
inflation trajectory during FY 2022-23
is likely to stay closer to the higher
end of RBI-MPC target of 6% whereas
the growth impulses may moderate
further. On the external front, the
deterioration in current account
deficit (CAD) to 2.5% of GDP and
uncertainty on capital inflows amidst
tightening global financial conditions
is likely to exert depreciation pressure
on the rupee in the near term. Overall,
the macroeconomic outlook of
challenging growth inflation trade-
off, faster policy normalisation
in developed economies and
geopolitical issues may keep the
volatility high in the domestic
financial markets.
Financial markets were extremely
choppy and volatile during the year.
The first half of the year saw stable
exchange rate and interest rates
in the market. However the second
half of the year witnessed rupee
depreciation and a gradual move
52
up in interest rates, exacerbated by
geopolitical conflicts.
The Company was successfully able to
navigate all such abrupt adjustments
in the market, maintain adequate
liquidity on its balance sheet, manage
its financial market risks and deliver
a consistent return on its investment
portfolio by staying invested in low
risk, liquid instruments. Reliance
Treasury continued to stay focused on
providing liquidity to the businesses
at the optimal risk adjusted cost by
accessing financing from different
markets and using appropriate
instruments and currencies.
Treasury Management and
Financial Strategy
Reliance Treasury’s impeccable timing
on executing landmark transactions
not just from India but also from Asia
can be attributed to its ability and
foresight to see emerging trends in
financial markets.
Reliance Treasury continuously
monitors the financial markets to
assess financing and investment
opportunities to raise financing at
optimised cost and deliver superior
returns respectively. It identifies
opportunities to reduce interest
costs and extend maturity profile
of its existing debt portfolio. It also
maintains a prudent mix of funding
sources across instrument classes,
financing products, geographies and
investor classes.
Fund Raising
Reliance continues to be a
sophisticated and innovative issuer
of securities across the capital
structure. During the year, Reliance
issued US$ 4 billion senior unsecured
notes across 10-years, 30-years and
40-years tranches comprising (i) US$
1,500,000,000 2.875% Senior Unsecured
Notes due 2032, (ii) US$ 1,750,000,000
3.625% Senior Unsecured Notes due
2052 and (iii) US$ 750,000,000 3.750%
Senior Unsecured Notes due 2062. The
Notes were nearly 3x oversubscribed
with a peak order book aggregating
~US$ 11.5 billion and were priced
through the Company’s secondary
curve. Reliance has now joined a select
group of issuers from Asia to have
made jumbo foreign currency bond
issuances. The proceeds from the notes
were primarily used for refinancing
existing borrowings.
This transaction was significant on
various counts:
• It was the largest ever foreign
currency bond issuance from India
• It had the tightest ever implied
credit spread over the respective
US Treasury across each of the 3
tranches by an Indian Corporate
• It carried the lowest coupon
achieved for benchmark 30-year
and 40-year issuances by a private
sector BBB corporate from Asia ex-
Japan
• It had a first ever 40-year tranche
offering by a BBB private sector
corporate from Asia ex Japan
The Company’s subsidiary, Reliance
Jio Infocomm Limited prepaid entire
deferred liabilities pertaining to
spectrum acquired in auctions of
year 2014, 2015, 2016 and the spectrum
acquired in FY 2021-22 through trading
of right to use with Bharti Airtel Limited
aggregating to `30,791 crore (including
accrued interest). This was refinanced
through a mix of INR Loans and
Debentures. The Company expects that
this prepayment will result in interest
savings of about `1,200 crore annually.
The Company’s subsidiary REC
Solar Pte Ltd. tied up Reliance
Group’s first green financing
aggregating US$ 586 million including
a US$ 250 million green term loan and
~US$ 336 million five-year green bank
guarantee facility.
Credit Rating
Reliance’s strong focus on financial
capital coupled with financial discipline
and prudence are reflected in the
strong credit ratings ascribed by rating
agencies. Reliance continues to enjoy
a strong credit rating and continues to
be rated two notches above sovereign

Way Forward on Financial
Capital
Reliance remains committed to
sustainable value creation for
stakeholders through disciplined
capital framework and optimal
utilisation of its resources. As it
enters the next stage of growth, the
Company through its robust cash flow
and balance sheet, will accelerate
the pace of growing capabilities for
Digital, New Commerce, New Energy, and
New Material businesses.
Liquidity Management
Robust liquidity underpins Reliance’s
short-term financial planning
processes with an aim of ensuring
adequate protection against short
term adverse market events. Reliance
deploys a judicious mix of tenors
and product types in its liquidity
management processes and
continues to explore path breaking
financing solutions in partnership
with its world-class banking partners.
Consistent strong cash generation
from operating activities provides
the foundation for liquidity. This along
with undrawn borrowing facilities and
cash and cash equivalents provide
solid liquidity buffer.
Reliance’s liquidity management and
investment plans are created within
the context of its strategic and annual
financial planning processes. The
plans are reviewed on an ongoing
basis to factor in evolving global and
domestic macro factors.
Reliance maintains sufficient
working capital resources for
running all its businesses smoothly.
The operating cycle is closely
monitored to optimise working
capital structure and ensure smooth
business financing. Trade financing
solutions are proactively reviewed
and swiftly calibrated to deliver
robust working capital management.
RIL has opportunistically used short
term borrowings through Commercial
Paper to finance its working capital
requirements. Given the low interest
rate environment this has benefited
the Company to maintain low cost
of liabilities.
RIL effectively manages its cash and
cash equivalents through a diversified
investment portfolio which has an
appropriate mix of steady accrual,
tax efficient and higher duration
assets with lower reinvestment risk.
The portfolio consists of wide-ranging
fixed income instruments invested in
top rated instruments like sovereign
bonds, AAA papers and bank’s fixed
deposits. The diversification across
instruments and counterparties
ensures that there is minimal
concentration risk.
The investment portfolio is monitored
and operated under a robust risk
management framework with a very
nimble and dynamic adjustment to
portfolio mix as and when necessary
to ensure capital protection and
appropriate risk adjusted returns.
The investment portfolio balances
well between the dual objectives
of generating optimal returns
with appropriate risk/reward and
maintaining the assurance of liquidity
at short notice..

RETAILManagement Discussion and Analysis — Business OverviewIntegrated Annual Report 2021-22Reliance Industries Limited Industry Overview
India has emerged as one of the most resilient global economies, having braved the macro-economic
headwinds caused by COVID-19. The Indian economy is propelled by a solid domestic demand that accounts
for 56% of India's GDP, which provides a strong foundation for a sustained growth of the Indian retail market.
The learnings from the first wave of COVID-19, combined with a strong impetus on vaccination, helped reduce
the pandemic’s impact on the economy in 2021. With a gradual fall in the number of cases and the easing of
restrictions, production across major sectors is going back to pre-COVID levels. As the impact of the pandemic
subsides and consumer demand resumes, the retail sector is expected to rebound and record a compounded
growth rate of 11% to become a US$ 1.2 trillion market by 2025.
Emerging Trends and Business Response

Retail’s investment in
Milkbasket and Dunzo
will further strengthen

Reliance Retail strives to create an enabling workplace environment where
each employee is provided the opportunity to participate, contribute, and grow.
To ensure the safety, health and well-being of employees, various initiatives were
undertaken during the year.
To help employees address stress during
the unusual circumstances created by the
pandemic, online yoga sessions were arranged
during the International Yoga Month. For
women, for whom the challenges have been
multifold, Reliance’s focus has been to provide
support and work flexibility. Many of them
have opted to work-from-home. There have
also been panel discussions and focused
engagement with women employees every
month through the times of COVID-19 to help
them in better work-life integration.
The health and safety of employees is of
paramount importance at Reliance. An
illustrative case is the ergonomic assessments
taken during the year for Retail staff, whose
work involves manual handling, or long hours
where they are either required to stand or
sit, all of which pose risks of musculoskeletal
disorder. To address the concern, ergonomics
assessments were conducted across all
formats pan India for all job roles to identify
ergonomic hazards and immediate action was
taken to reduce the risk level.
All through the pandemic, efforts were directed
at educating employees on safety, building
resilience, and addressing health and nutrition
concerns. Talks were also held on diverse
parenting needs and addressing specific
concerns during the pandemic.
Often specialised training becomes necessary
to ensure the safety of both staff and the
people they serve. Take the training on ‘Disaster
Mitigation and Preparedness for Retail Outlets’,
which was undertaken with the help of the
National Institute of Disaster Management
(NIDM). Specialised training also became
mandatory for staff and contractors with
the opening of the first Hamleys Play store
in Mumbai, as required by the Protection of
Children from Sexual Offense (POCSO) Act.
Road safety is another area of concern. To
address it, extensive trainings were arranged
during the year. Frequent refresher trainings are
also conducted for our delivery associates as
well as for our delivery partners (GRAB riders)
on road safety to ensure they remain safe while
delivering essential items at the doorstep of
customers.
Both online and offline engagement
activities were held during the year to trigger
conversations on safety and enhance the
safety culture.
New Commerce: A win-win-win Operating Model for growth and shared prosperity
have witnessed robust growth in
matrices such as order values and
frequency of orders, reflecting the
trust and growing bond with the
merchant partners.
The Indian retail market is the
most fragmented in the world,
characterised by the presence
of millions of small kiranas.
Operating in the unorganised
space, the kiranas are constrained
by various challenges, including
the lack of: modern infrastructure,
technology savviness, efficient
sourcing capabilities and capital
needed to serve the ever-evolving
consumer needs.
Reliance Retail’s New Commerce
initiative is bringing out the
entrepreneurial spirit of the kiranas,
by physically and digitally enabling
them and bringing them at par with
organised players.
Reliance Retail aims to integrate
millions of small kiranas with
producers, manufacturers and
brands across India. Doing so would
help them modernise, become more
efficient and generate higher income.
Reliance Retail is thus creating a
win-win-win partnership with all
stakeholders of the retail value chain.
The ecosystem thus created would
lead to a wider selection of products,
superior quality, compelling value
proposition and a finer shopping
experience to millions of consumers
buying from the kiranas.
During the year, the company
launched New Commerce services
for consumer electronics and pharma
merchants. It has significantly scaled
up its merchant partnerships across
Grocery and Fashion & Lifestyle

Management Discussion and Analysis — Business OverviewDIGITAL SERVICESIntegrated Annual Report 2021-22Reliance Industries Limited Industry Overview
Transition towards
4G networks
The launch of Jio started the 4G
transition in India. The 4G subscriber
base across the industry is now over
730 million as of March 2022, thanks
to increasing broadband network
penetration across both urban and
rural India and the improving device
ecosystem. More than 250 million 2G
feature phone users in the country
will also be transitioning to digital
networks over the next few years.
The pandemic’s impact on recharge
cycle and tariff hike have caused a
transient SIM consolidation, mainly
for low usage and inconsistent
subscriber base. This has rationalised
the reported subscriber base and
should bring cost and network
efficiencies for the industry.
Increasing smartphones
and new use cases boost
data traffic
Improving smartphone penetration
and increasing proliferation of digital
applications have resulted in a 38%
increase in data usage across the
country over CY 2021 (~137 Exabytes
of data usage in India during 2021).
According to the Ericsson Mobility
Report 2021, total mobile data traffic
in India is projected to increase
by more than 4x to reach 49.0
Exabytes per month by 2027. This will
be driven by two factors – greater
smartphone penetration, including in
rural areas, and increase in average
data usage per smartphone. Jio’s
device strategy and sustained
investments in digital will be key to this
enhanced data usage.
5G rollout
Earlier in the year, the Department of
Telecommunications (DoT) allotted
trial spectrum for 5G services to all
operators. 5G field trials are currently
underway, with all operators working
with their respective network vendors
to test the network and develop
relevant use cases. DoT and Telecom
Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) are
working towards conducting auction
for 5G spectrum bands in 2022.
Increasing need for good
quality FTTX
India’s leapfrog into mobility
broadband has resulted in the
fixed broadband sector being an
under-invested space for the past
two decades. As a result, India has
amongst the lowest fixed broadband
penetration in the world at less than
10% households.
Fiber penetration is even lower, with
most fixed broadband running on
legacy copper-based infrastructure.
COVID-19 lockdowns and the
consequent need to work-from-
home and learn-from-home, have
reinforced the need for high quality
fixed broadband.
Positive changes in the
Indian telecom landscape
In September 2021, the Government of
India undertook decisive steps in the
form of reforms and a relief package
to strengthen the Indian telecom
sector. Subsequently, all the operators
undertook a 20-25% hike across
prepaid plans that has boosted
revenue growth for the sector.

Management Discussion and Analysis — Business OverviewDIGITAL SERVICESIntegrated Annual Report 2021-22Reliance Industries Limited Business Performance
Mobile Services
Jio continues to drive India’s
digital transformation
Jio’s network carried almost 10%
of the global mobile data traffic in
CY 2021, and Jio continues to remain
the broadband network of choice
with over 50% share of India’s data
traffic, thereby underlining the ‘Jio
effect’ on the digital ecosystem in
India. Jio was the digital lifeline during
the continuing pandemic. FY 2021-22
saw over 130 million new users join the
network on a gross basis and data
traffic grow at ~46% Y-o-Y to more
than 91 Exabytes.
Customer engagement on Jio
network increased further; per capita
data and voice consumption stood
at 19.7 GB and 968 minutes per month
respectively for the quarter ending
March 2022. During the year, Jio
undertook a ~20% hike across
prepaid plans with effect from
December 1, 2021. Its new plans
continue to provide best value for
consumers in the industry across
price points. Financial relief for the
telecom sector and improving
revenue growth potential will
accelerate realisation of Prime
Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of
Digital India and enable India’s
transformation into the world’s
leading digital society.
Enhanced network capacity
Post the 2021 spectrum auction and
trading agreement with Bharti Airtel,
Jio’s spectrum footprint has increased
56% to 1,732MHz (average life of
over 14.5 years). This has boosted
its network capacity to serve the
rapidly growing demand for data
services. Further, Jio has relentlessly
driven network improvement to
provide superior customer experience
through network automation, next-
gen platform deployment, advanced
analytics and data sciences. The
80
robustness of Jio’s network was
further underlined by the fact that it
worked with minimal disruption even
during three cyclones and seven
heavy rainfall/ flood situations across
the country during the year.
Expansion of 4G device
ecosystem
Since inception, Jio has innovated
to catalyse and grow the affordable
digital device system in the
country. JioPhone has successfully
transitioned over 100 million 2G users
in the country over the past four years.
Building on this success, Jio, in
partnership with Google, announced
the launch of JioPhone Next during
the year. This is the most affordable
smartphone anywhere in the world,
with a unique financing option
making it accessible for a much wider
set of consumers.
JioPhone Next is packed with
unprecedented features like an all
new Pragati OS, Translate Now & Read
Aloud across 10 Indian languages and
a host of preloaded Jio and Google
apps. Jio is also partnering with other
leading OEMs to provide multiple
device options to its subscribers and
accelerate the 2G to 4G transition
in the country.
Jio leads the March towards
5G-Yukt India
Jio’s 5G stack is 100% homegrown
and a comprehensive 5G solution
that is fully cloud native, software
defined and digitally managed. This
5G stack encompasses radio and
core network, software architecture
and hardware equipment, including
outdoor small cells and gNodeBs.
Jio’s network is built on a converged
and future proof architecture that
allows for seamless upgrade from
4G to 5G and beyond. 5G coverage
planning has been completed in
top 1,000 cities based on targeted
customer consumption and revenue
potential using heat maps, 3D maps
and ray tracing technology.
Apart from conducting field trials of
its 5G stack. Jio has done active trials
of 5G use cases ranging from AR/ VR,
low-latency cloud gaming, network
slicing and multi-tenancy for video
delivery, TV streaming, connected
hospitals and industrial applications.
Fixed Broadband Services
Jio continues to see fixed broadband
as a significant greenfield opportunity
and aspires to connect 50 million
homes and 50 million MSMBs in India.
Its expansive intracity fiber network,
execution abilities, superior customer
experience together with its diverse
suite and bundling of digital content,
tech-enabled tools and solutions will
be key differentiators.
Jio is now the largest fiber
broadband provider in India
The need for high quality broadband
and Jio’s extensive infrastructure
and superior services have made
it the operator of choice for fixed
broadband in the country. Within
a short span of two years since its
launch, Jio has become the largest
fiber broadband provider with over
5 million connected homes with an
average data usage of almost 300 GB
per home per month. It has continued
to roll out last mile infrastructure at an
elevated pace and its network covers
almost 20 million homes.

Jio 5G in Healthcare
Automation
Given the high speed and low latency of 5G networks, a
prime use case is in healthcare for various end uses for
patient care and hospital management.
• Hospital logistics – 5G robots controlled by a fleet
management system in the Cloud have been used to
deliver food trays and medicines to patients, and for
UV disinfection and sanitisation
• Connected ambulance via 5G FWA – This was done
to stream vital information to the control room in the
hospital even as the patient arrived there physically
Innovation in Customer
Experience Management
Jio has continued to innovate on both physical and
digital distribution channels to further enhance the best-
in-class customer experience.
• Self KYC – This enables remote SIM activation using
video call-based verification to ensure convenient,
error free and fast onboarding of premium customers
• Hyperlocal customer retention and upsell – 40,000+
freelancers fluent in local languages worked as Jio
Customer Associates to connect with over a million
customers daily
COVID-19 Response
Ensuring the nation’s digital lifeline
remains strong and sturdy
• Jio has continued to be the digital
lifeline for all Indians, enabling
them to work and learn-from-
home and get medical treatment
from the comforts of home
• Jio has ensured zero impact on
network over the past two years
with industry leading uptime for
the connectivity network
• Multiple initiatives (free voice calls,
Buy-One-Get-One recharges for
JioPhone users, Emergency Data
Loan) have been undertaken with
a customer focused approach
to ensure minimum disruption in
customer service and business
• Digital initiatives like Jio Associate
Program, Self-KYC and relaunch
of eKYC undertaken to enhance
customer outreach and ensure
continuity of recharges/services
Outlook
Jio’s investments to build
a world-class digital
infrastructure will pave the
way towards a premier
digital society in India.
These solutions are now
being implemented at
scale to be later taken to
the global audience. Newer
revenue streams across the
connectivity and technology
platforms will accelerate
the growth momentum and
drive operating leverage.
These endeavours would
not just create a significantly
positive socio-economic
impact but also generate
strong shareholder returns
over the next several
decades.
Testing real time robotic control for warehouse
automation and asset monitoring
• Warehouse supply chain –
5G robots were used for bagging
line to warehouse storage location
logistics, a function that would
otherwise require human control
• Connected drone – A drone
connected through a 5G cloud
was used to inspect radio sites and
provide real-time surveillance

Having bounced back from the
shocks of the pandemic in the
second half of last fiscal, FY 2021-22
was a year of continued resilience
and implementing learnings from
the first wave of the pandemic. The
beginning of the year saw a sharp
rise in COVID-19 cases, which would
have impacted content production
again but for the implementation
of contingency plans and new SOPs
that helped business continue in a
normal fashion. Demand for content
continued to grow across platforms,
with both TV and Digital seeing
growth in viewership. However, the
movie exhibition industry remained
affected as cinema halls were
either shut or opened with lower
capacity through the year, leading
to either a delayed release in halls
or OTT release.

TV viewership reverted to
pre-pandemic levels
Strong growth in
advertising revenues
During the second wave of the
pandemic (April-June 2021), TV
viewership saw a much smaller spike
than last year as lockdowns were
localised and movement of people
was not as restricted. TV viewership
normalised through the year and
returned to pre-COVID levels at the
beginning of CY 2022 and the genre
shares also reverted back. Broadcast
networks rolled out their full content
catalogue and OTT platforms scaled
up release of original shows. Regional
viewership continued to be strong
across languages, with most markets
seeing intense competition for share.
Movie channels continued to be
impacted during the year due to the
postponement of movie releases.
Sports viewership was boosted by
events like T20 World Cup, Tokyo
Olympics and IPL.
Though FY 2021-22 started on a weak
footing, local and short duration
lockdowns, accompanied by a strong
consumer demand and advertiser
appetite, caused only a minor blip in
the strong growth momentum that
had begun to build up in the second
half of FY 2020-21. Industry ad revenues
surpassed 2019 levels, with TV ad
volumes reaching a multi-year high
and digital continuing its strong growth
momentum. However, high input
price inflation for the FMCG sector,
the biggest advertiser, tempered the
growth towards the end of the year.
While TV continues to be the primary
platform for brands looking to reach
audiences at scale and brand building
with high frequency advertising,
digital has an inherent advantage in
targeting, driving personalisation and
offering options for advertisers with
constrained budgets.

to be resilient
Digital continued to see
strong traction
India’s TV penetration of ~67% and
Average Revenue Per Unit (ARPU) of
~US$ 3 remain well below that for
most developed as well as developing
economies, highlighting the headroom
for growth. After the introduction of
the New Tariff Order (NTO) regulation
in FY 2019-20, the industry had seen a
jump in subscription revenue. However,
the growth has plateaued since then
due to the continued legal battle over
the implementation of the amended
regulation, pending which a status
quo had been imposed by the courts
on channel pricing. The revenue was
also marginally impacted by the
pandemic as some of the pay-TV
households migrated to the free DTH
platform, DD FreeDish.

OTT platforms offer an alternative to
TV with on-demand, differentiated
content and, more importantly, a
dedicated screen, unlike TV which is
shared by 4-5 household members.
Digital content consumption has
seen a sharp growth over the last
couple of years driven by increasing
broadband and smartphone
penetration and increasing volume
of exclusive content for digital.
With more than 30 OTT platforms,
Indian consumers have plenty of
options to choose from – regional to
global platforms, from production
houses’ apps to teleco-aggregation
platforms. The propensity to pay for
digital subscriptions has grown as
consumers have begun to see value
in OTT content offering.
Given the competitive pay TV ARPUs,
OTTs are still experimenting with the
pricing for their subscription-based
video on demand (SVOD) platforms..
The year saw several major platforms
change their subscription plans.
Most Indian platforms continue to
operate a hybrid monetisation model,
Emerging Trends and Business Response
offering free content supported by
ads and premium content behind the
paywall. As per the BCG CII Report,
the Indian OTT industry is expected to
grow at a 22-25% CAGR over the next
decade, driven by both subscription
and advertising.

partnership with Harpic, strives to
change attitude and behaviour
for saving water for future
generations, and endeavors to
reach over 20 million Indians
to drive this change. The latest
season of the campaign was
endorsed by Vice President M
Venkaiah Naidu, Minister of Jal
Shakti, Gajendra Singh Shekhawat,
Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, and
Actor Akshay Kumar, the Campaign
Ambassador. Mission Paani was
recognised as ‘The Best Media
Initiative’ at the 3rd National Water
Awards by the Honorable President
of India.
• Sanjeevani - A Shot of Life, a
CSR initiative in partnership
with Federal Bank, aimed
towards creating awareness
for COVID-19 vaccinations and
mobilising efforts to ensure that
every Indian is vaccinated. The
campaign collaborated with
NGOs, government agencies and
influencers to spread information
and bust myths surrounding the
vaccine, while enlisting donors to
gift vaccines to the most deprived
and worst affected Indians.
• Netra Suraksha - India Against
Diabetes was launched in
November 2021 in association with
Novartis, to increase awareness
about eye disorders caused by
diabetes. With an aim to build
effective and efficient partnerships,
the initiative organised round table
discussions involving medical
experts, think tanks and
policymakers.
Outlook
The Indian M&E industry has a long
runway for growth, given the secular
trend of increasing demand for quality
content and higher time spent across
demographies on content consumption.
As per industry reports, India is expected
to be the fastest growing ad market
with digital leading the way. The digital
subscription market has been seeing
rapid adoption as the ecosystem
matures and the end of pricing stalemate
for TV subcription would help drive
growth in broadcasting revenues. We will
continue to make adequate investments
across our businesses which will help
us further strengthen our position and
simultaneously prepare us for leveraging
future growth opportunities.

for a lump sum consideration
equal to the carrying value of
the gasification assets as on the
appointed date of the scheme of
arrangement.
Going forward, RIL expects
gasification assets such as syngas
to be increasingly used as a
platform for conversion to high
value chemicals as opposed to
a source of energy. Therefore, the
nature of risk and returns for the
gasification streams are likely to
become distinct from those of the
other businesses of the Company.
In addition, the Company is
exploring various opportunities
to bring in strategic and other
investors in RSL.
As the Company progressively
transitions to renewables as its
primary source of energy, more
syngas will become available
for upgrading to high value
chemicals, including C1 chemicals
and hydrogen, thus sharply
reducing the carbon footprint of
the Jamnagar complex.
The gasification project at
Jamnagar was set up with the
objective of producing syngas to

Industry Overview
FY 2021-22 was characterised by the
recovery in global demand as a result
of improved consumer sentiment,
vaccination drive and the reopening
of economies, leading to an increase
in crude and petrochemicals
prices. Global refinery operating
rates also improved in line with
the rising demand.
Crude Oil Demand
and Supply
Demand in CY 2021 recovered
sharply by 5.6 mb/d to 97.5 mb/d. In
comparison, demand had fallen by 8.5
mb/d to 91.9 mb/d in CY 2020.
Robust global economic recovery,
rising vaccination rates, easing social
distancing measures and travel
restrictions supported steady demand
recovery in FY 2021-22. The demand
recovery was further supported by
gas to oil switching in the power sector
following the energy crisis and high
natural gas prices beginning October
2021. In the last week of February 2022,
Russian Ukraine conflict began which
led to high oil prices and volatility
due to uncertainties in global oil
supply. Prices rose above $100/bbl
levels due to sanctions on Russia and
expected disruption to Russian oil &
product trade flows.
Global oil supply increased by 1.4 mb/d
to 95.5 mb/d in CY 2021. Oil supply
growth was mainly controlled by
OPEC+ with a mandate to increase
400 kb/d of output each month
from August 2021 to March 2022 in
response to demand. OPEC supply
was lower by 4.2 mb/d in CY 2020 but
increased by 0.7 mb/d in CY 2021. Non-
OPEC supply which fell by 2.6 mb/d
in CY 2020 increased by 0.7 mb/d in
CY 2021 mainly led by Russia. However,
uncertainties to supply rose in March
2022 due to US, Canada sanctions
on Russian oil imports in response to
Russia-Ukraine conflict. This, together
with self-imposed restrictions by
private companies started to impact
trade flows and regional supply.
104
In FY 2021-22, lower oil supply amid higher oil demand growth led to reduction in
global crude inventories and oil market tightness.
Kazakhstan also contributed to the rise in oil prices in 2H FY 2021-22 in spite
of the tapering of demand following the spread of the Omicron variant and
China’s zero tolerance COVID-19 policy.

Global refinery throughputs increased steadily during FY 2021-22 on higher
utilisation and new capacity additions to meet rising transportation and
petrochemical demand. In CY 2021, refinery throughputs recovered by 3 mb/d after
falling by 7.3 mb/d in CY 2020. Permanent refinery closures amounted to 2.8 mb/d
till the end of 2021 mainly in the US, Europe and Asia.
Refining margins recovered strongly in FY 2021-22 as refinery throughputs lagged
fuel demand recovery.

Crude prices rose sharply in FY 2021-22 with Brent price reaching US$ 118.8/bbl in
March 22 from US$ 64.7/bbl in April 2021. Oil prices rose in response to steady oil
demand growth, continued oil supply management by OPEC+, falling global oil
inventories and also geopolitical impacts such as Russia-Ukraine conflict.
In 2H 2021, US supply outages due to Hurricane Ida also supported oil prices
despite the demand being impacted by COVID-19 variants like Delta.
The energy crisis, high natural gas prices, the failure of OPEC+ to meet its output
targets and rising geopolitical tensions further propelled oil prices. Geopolitical

During the year, LNG prices were highly volatile, with Asian prices seeing a low
of US$5.8/MMBtu in March 2021 and a high of US$51.7/MMBtu in March 2022,
averaging at US$23.37/MMBtu in FY 2021-22. The uptick in price was due to
demand recovery post-COVID, coupled with unplanned LNG outages, lower
Russian pipeline gas flow into Europe and later invasion of Ukraine by Russia in
February. The Company used various optimisation initiatives to minimise the
impact of high energy prices.

During the year, ethane demand-supply growth was accelerated due to the
addition of export facilities, delivery of new Very Large Ethane Carrier Ships
(VLECS) and demand growth of the newly operational cracker in the US. Ethane
prices in FY 2021-22 moved in tandem with that of natural gas for most of the
time, and hence traded at highest-ever prices in the last four years at 46.8 US
cents per gallon (cpg). This was owing to the surge in natural gas prices as
a result of the supply scarcity and colder than expected winter. The average
price of ethane for FY 2021-22 was 34.9 cpg. Despite relatively higher prices,
ethane continued to be the preferred feedstock.
Tanker Freight
The crude tanker market continued
weaker trend due to various factors,
ranging from COVID-19, reduction in
crude imports to China, OPEC cuts,
increasing bunker prices to limited
cargoes being quoted, weighed in on
market sentiment. This also helped to
lower overall crude cost.
Clean Tanker freight rate for shipping
products remained at a 5-year low
in FY 2021-22 as lockdown restrictions
led to uncertainty and dampened
sentiments. Ample new-built tanker
availability also helped long-haul
distillate market movements, keeping
a lid on freight prices
Reliance has been proactively taking
appropriate actions by taking optimal
cover through time charters & COAs’
(Contract of Affreightment) to avoid
freight volatilities and incurring
additional cost to the refinery.
Transportation Fuels
Global Market Environment
Global gasoline demand recovered
steadily in FY 2021-22 as a result
of improving mobility and higher
preference for personal vehicles. In
CY 2021, demand recovered to above
96% of pre-pandemic level (CY 2019
levels) as restrictions on mobility were
lifted gradually on rising vaccinations.
Diesel demand recovery also
continued in FY 2021-22 – on strong
economic growth and rising industrial
activity with demand reaching 98% of
pre-pandemic level in CY 2021.
Jet fuel was the only fuel to remain
significantly below pre-pandemic
level with demand recovering to
only 66% of CY 2019 levels in CY 2021
mainly due to sluggish recovery in
business and international travel.
However, demand was supported by
countries which were opening up and
easing international travel restrictions,
following rising vaccination
coverage and low impact from the
Omicron COVID wave.

After the lows of FY 2020-21, Indian fuel demand bounced back in FY 2021-22.
However, the growth was tempered by the second and third pandemic waves,
which led to partial or total lockdown in stretches across the country during 1Q
and 4Q respectively.

On the back of sustained economic activities, and the absence of a blanket
nationwide lockdown, business growth was steady through the course of the
year. India’s fuel demand grew by 7.8% and stood at 113 MMT. LPG demand too
maintained an upward growth trajectory.
While inter-city highway traffic has maintained steady momentum, growth in
intra-city travel has surged, as reflected in the consistently growing Motor Spirit
(MS) sale. Despite muted growth in 1Q FY 2021-22 and some set back in 4Q, both
gasoil and gasoline demand has grown steadily with the resurgence of road
traffic. FY 2021-22, diesel demand increased by 5.5% and gasoline demand
increased by 10.4% Y-o-Y. Exit industry volumes are already 4.2% higher than the
pre-COVID average in FY 2019-20. The shift away from ride-sharing and limited
availability of public transport (driven by lower bus frequency and curtailed
rail movement) have increased preference for self-owned vehicles, which has
supported this growth.
Reaching the end of their ongoing investment cycle, both state-owned oil
marketing companies and private players have continued expanding their
network, and taking the total number of retail outlets in India to over 83,000.
FY 2021-22 also emerged as the defining year for Indian Electric Vehicle (EV)
industry. On the back of sustained policy push at both the central and state
levels, increased options in the market and growing charging infrastructure,
EV sales recorded a 218% growth over that in FY 2020-21. Even though the base
is low, the industry is looking at convergence of charging infrastructure and
retail outlets.
Rebounding from its worst ever year, India’s aviation industry, driven primarily
by the domestic sector, grew strongly in the 2H FY 2021-22. Phased allowance
from 70-100% capacity utilisation enabled airlines to ramp up steadily. ATF
demand in FY 2021-22 grew 35% Y-o-Y.
Gasoline margins rose sharply to
US$ 11.4/bbl in FY 2021-22 from
US$ 3/ bbl in FY 2020-21, backed
by steady demand recovery and
improving mobility. Also, limited
exports from China in 2H CY 2021
supported cracks.
Gasoil margins increased to
US$ 12.3/bbl in FY 2021-22 from
US$ 5.7/bbl in FY 2020-21, following
steady demand growth supported
by the strong economic recovery
and rising industrial activity. However,
gasoil margin gains were limited due
to sluggish jet fuel demand recovery
and persistently higher stocks
during most of the year. Cracks were
supported by lower gasoil exports
from China, due to various policy
changes like the imposition of higher
taxes on blended fuels such as light
cycle oil, tightening supervision on
independent refiners, lower crude
import and product export quotas in
2H CY 2021. Gasoil cracks rose strongly
in March 2022 on disruptions to
Russian diesel supply to Europe amid
Russia-Ukraine conflict and trade
sanctions on Russia.
Jet fuel cracks rose to US$ 9.1/bbl in
FY 2021-22 from the unprecedented
low of US$ 1.2/bbl in FY 2020-21.
Jet fuel demand continued to
recover, albeit slowly led by North
America in FY 2021-22.

remained unchanged at 86%. New
capacity addition for the year was 12
MMTA, in line with the demand growth.
PP domestic market demand grew by 16% on Y-o-Y basis on account of
healthy demand from the health & hygiene sector, raffia and Biaxially Oriented
Polypropylene (BOPP) packaging. PE demand also registered a growth of 4% on
Y-o-Y basis, driven by e-commerce, FMCG and liquid packaging. PVC demand
grew by 6% Y-o-Y, majorly driven by growth in construction activities and policy
boost for several water and sewage pipeline projects.
Indian E-SBR demand grew by 7% in FY 2021-22 while demand for PBR was up
by 5% for the year. The demand growth was supported by revival in passenger
vehicle, commercial vehicle and replacement market.
Margin
Polymer prices strengthened during FY 2021-22 amidst global demand
boost and regional supply shortages due to lower import availability amid
container shortage. Global operating rate for PP and PE averaged 89% and 87%
respectively during 2021, at par with pre-pandemic levels. Polymer margins
weakened during the year amidst higher feedstock cost. Integrated
PP-Naphtha and HDPE-Naphtha margins contracted by 17% . PVC margins

Global demand for Intermediates
(MEG/PX/PTA) increased by 5% to
157 MMT in CY 2021 from 149 MMT in
CY 2020. PX markets improved in the
latter part of the year due to new
downstream PTA capacity additions.
PTA markets remained healthy and
witnessed 7% overall annual growth,
the demand went up despite rising
inventory in the first half of the year.
MEG demand was impacted due
to intermittent disruption led by
pandemic and energy crisis. Supply
disruptions in the US led to tightening
of China port inventories.
Polyester overall global demand
improved by 7% at 85 MMT. Increase
in vaccination rate and relatively
lower restrictions across the world
have helped improve the global
demand for textiles and apparels.
Global apparel market which shrunk
in CY 2020 by 22% to US $ 1.3 trillion,
has recovered by 16% in CY 2021 to US
$ 1.5 trillion.
Domestic Market
Environment
Domestic Intermediates demand
improved by 32% on account of
recovery in textile and polyester
demand. Removal of restrictions
and improvement in retail demand
led to the recovery of the polyester
downstream industry, which has
shown resilience against repeated
pandemic waves and volatility in raw
material prices. Polyester downstream
operating rates varied from stable to
strong across the value chain barring
an exceptional dip in April-May '21.
Lower polyester imports on account
of high ocean freights supported
demand and margins.
while PX-Naphtha margins firmed by 21% Y-o-Y, but it is well below 5-year
average levels. In 3Q, the imposition of dual control policy in China, emergence
of Omicron coupled with the start-up of large PX capacities (2x2.5 MMTPA)
resulted in supply overhang and weak margins.
PTA markets in China remained oversupplied given the capacity addition of
8.6 MMTA, together with medium to high level market inventories. Global PTA
operating rates remained around 79% in FY 2021-22. PTA prices followed crude
oil price movements in FY 2021-22, with the margin on PX improving gradually
from H1 with the decrease in China inventory. Overall, in FY 2021-22, PTA prices
surged 56% while PTA-PX margins firmed up by 43% Y-o-Y.
MEG margins were under pressure due to oversupply and lower operating
rates. MEG prices surged 36% and MEG-Naphtha margins softened by 12% Y-o-Y
owing to high feedstock prices.
PET markets witnessed an unprecedented trend during the year. Global PET
supplies tightened due to plant shutdown in the US and Europe during the
pandemic, leading to a surge in PET prices by 43%, however margins firmed up
by 11% Y-o-Y constrained by high feedstock prices.

In FY 2021-22, RIL remained among the
largest producers of transportation
fuels, exporting 34.7 MMT of products
across the globe.
RIL can also produce a large variety
of grades to meet international
market requirements of European
countries, Africa, East Asia including
Australia and the US market which
has the most stringent specifications.
The Company is well recognised as
a trusted supplier of high-quality
transportation fuels with zero cases
of quality and quantity disputes.
RIL has a competitive advantage
as it operates through one of the
most modern and efficient ports –
Jamnagar. The Company marketed
15 MMT of products in the domestic
market in FY 2021-22.
RIL continues to leverage its strong
highway presence and rapidly
growing intra-city footprint to move
towards its target of covering over
90% freight load on Indian roads
despite having a significantly
lower outlet count compared to its
competition. It has worked towards
establishing gasoil customer
ownership by strengthening its
industry leading fleet program
(Transconnect) to target fleet
customers and continuing to
augment on-demand fuel delivery
to target non-transport/off-road
segment. Network push, higher share
of fleet volumes, industry defining
technology and strong Q&Q (Quality
and Quantity) focus have contributed
to the significantly higher per outlet
throughput for RIL.
HSD B2B Business
In FY 2021-22, bulk diesel industry
volumes grew by 10.2% on Y-o-Y
basis though it was 13.5% lower than
pre-pandemic level. Cementing
its presence across geographies,
RIL continued to outperform the
industry, achieving a growth of 13.2%
on Y-o-Y basis and much lower
decline of 2.1% of pre-pandemic level
with market share of 9.4%. Building
on its strong customer connect,
RIL’s O2C business has further
strengthened its relationship across
customer segments. The Company
continues to pursue profitable
growth opportunities in infrastructure,
construction and the mining
segment, providing healthy returns.

Supply Chain Management:
Saving human lives and
delivering sustained value
for stakeholders
The second wave of COVID-19 in 1Q
FY 2021-22 led to a national crisis
over medical oxygen and created
a challenging logistics landscape.
RIL responded to this national
emergency by building new facilities
in its plants for medical oxygen and
importing oxygen in ISO containers
from all over the world through
emergency airlift operations with
the help of the Indian Air Force.
Simultaneously, multimodal logistics
solutions were established to
deliver medical oxygen to various
hospitals across the country in the
shortest possible time, thereby
saving human lives.
Apart from the crisis in shipping
containers, port operations
were affected globally , and port
congestion hit an all-time high,
creating challenges in vessel
schedules reliability, labour
management and so on. The
resulting demand-supply gap led to a
multi-fold increase in shipping freight
in H1 FY 2021-22.
To ensure optimum supply chain cost,
RIL swiftly implemented long-term
supply chain cost planning, flexible
multimodal transportation solutions
and digital monitoring of movement
across the entire supply chain. Long-
term contracts with shipping line
partners and organised extra-loader
ships to manage large volumes
in global exports. This approach
has helped to retain market share
and business margins . During this
time, the Company supported all
stakeholders in the SCM value chain
for vaccinations, treatments, and
timely financial support.
Bio-Degradable & Compostable Polybutylene Adipate
Terephthalate (PBAT) Process & Composites: Niche Applications
for Packaging & Agriculture Sectors
RIL has developed and scaled up to
pilot a novel process for PBAT. Different
grades with varied melt viscosities
showed good performance in
terms of physical and mechanical
properties. The developed grades
were also compounded with various
fillers for ease of downstream
processing and enhancing
product properties required for
applications in flexible as well as
rigid packaging, agriculture mulch
films, among others.
Novel bio-compostable net-bags
have been developed through a net-
extrusion process using PBAT polymer
blends / composites. The process
optimisation and development have
been carried out on conventional
downstream machines with high
output and minimal loss of material
in processing. It offered a cost
competitive product for a green
packaging solution for the fruit &
vegetable (F&V) sector. The developed
net-bags are easy and convenient to
use and have good weight carrying
capacity. These net-bags are ideal
for leafy vegetables, as they maintain
freshness for longer time. This
development is important in view of
replacement of single-use plastic
by sustainable materials. Further,
the R&D team is working on different
variants of net-bags for different
weight carrying capacity to target
applications other than F&V.

free oil-change service as well as
the service of professionally trained
experts to assess their vehicles. This
customer ease can be expected to
create a renewed push for lubricant
and gasoline sales.
Outlook
Global downstream
demand is likely to
improve amidst easing
of COVID-19 restrictions,
improvement in mobility,
consumer sentiments and
large economic stimulus
programmes worldwide.
The momentum in
transportation fuel is also
likely to pick up pace as the
global economy returns to
pre-COVID level. Polymer
demand is expected to be
strong, driven mainly by
the growth in healthcare,
e-commerce, packaging,
durables, auto and
infrastructure segments.
Growth in the downstream
polyester chain market
is also expected to
remain steady, making it
possible to achieve higher
operating rates. Although
post-pandemic reopening
of global economy is
expected to provide further
demand growth, however
rising inflationary pressures
due to ongoing geopolitical
events and fears around
economic slowdown could
impact near-term demand
outlook.

Management Discussion and Analysis — Business OverviewOIL AND GAS E&PIntegrated Annual Report 2021-22Reliance Industries Limited Industry Overview
Global oil demand rebounded in
CY 2021, as the global economy
began to recover from the impact
of the COVID-19 pandemic. However,
global oil production increased
slower than demand, driving up
prices. The production shortfall was
mainly due to OPEC+ production cuts
that started in late 2020. During 4Q
CY 2021, global demand increased
sharply by 1.1 MMBD to 99 MMBD. This
resulted in withdrawals from global
petroleum inventories that averaged
1.4 MMBD in 2021, leading to higher
crude oil prices.
Average annual price of Brent crude
oil climbed to US$ 70.7/bbl in 2021,
~US$ 30 more than the CY 2020
annual average and highest in
the past three years. West Texas
Intermediate (WTI) crude oil averaged
US$ 3/bbl below Brent in 2021. With an
outbreak of conflict in Europe, Brent
prices rose sharply to above $110/
bbl levels, reaching as high as $130/
bbl in March'22.
Global gas consumption increased
by 4.6% in 2021 to ~3.8 TCM, more than
double the decline seen in 2020,
driven by the economic recovery
and successive extreme weather
events. Insufficient supply coupled
with unexpected outages led to tight
markets and steep price increases.
The year closed with record high
spot prices in Europe and Asia, as
natural gas supply remained very
tight. Henry Hub prices almost
doubled from their 2020 levels to
average US$ 3.9/MMBtu, the highest
since 2014. Asian LNG spot prices rose
more than four-fold to US$ 18/MMBtu
with a 4Q average of over US$ 35/
MMBtu. Record high prices led to
dampening of demand growth in the
second half of 2021.
Emerging Trends and Business Response
Clean energy

KG D6
With ramp up of gas production
from R Cluster and Satellite
Cluster Fields, E&P's operating
performance improved due to
incremental production and higher
gas price realisation across the
producing assets, leading to higher
Revenue and EBITDA.
The D1-D3 and MA fields in the KG D6
Block produced ~3 TCFe of gas, oil
and condensate, which have set
global benchmarks in operational
performance and excellence
during their operations over the
years. These existing facilities have
been made future ready for the
next 20 years through necessary
upgradations made before
production start-up from R Cluster
and Satellite Cluster fields. The three
integrated projects – R Cluster,
Satellite Cluster and MJ – are
leveraging the hub infrastructure in
place by utilising existing production
facilities and thus reducing
costs. At the onshore terminal,
RIL is undertaking augmentation
of Monoethylene Glycol (MEG)
regeneration and reclamation, and
associated facilities.
KG D6 Deepwater
Production Update
R Cluster Field was commissioned
successfully in December 2020
and achieved peak production of
12.9 MMSCMD with six wells. Satellite
Cluster Field was commissioned
in April 2021, two months ahead of
schedule. All five wells have been
opened, tested and ramped up,
achieving a peak production of
6.1 MMSCMD. Together, the fields are
currently producing ~18 MMSCMD,
and contributing substantially to
domestic production.
KG D6 MJ Deepwater
Development Update
Phase 1 drilling and installation of
Xmas Trees for all 8 wells have been
completed. Phase-2 drilling and
completion activity has commenced
in July 2022. The second and
final installation campaign has
commenced in December 2021.
All subsea structures (Manifolds),
24” rigid pipeline and Turret Mooring
System (TMS) buoy, along with
mooring lines, have been installed.
For the Floating Production Storage
& Offloading (FPSO) vessel , hull
construction has been completed.
All topside modules have been
fabricated and erected on the hull.
Geostationary and Swivel
modules have been installed.
Pre-commissioning and
commissioning activities have
commenced. Reliance expects to
commission MJ Field in 3Q FY 2023.
Abandonment
The D1D3 Field ceased production
in February 2020, following which
the Oil Industry Safety Directorate
(OISD) and Management Committee
(MC) have approved the permanent
Plug & Abandonment (P&A) of wells
and in-situ abandonment of the
associated equipment.
Following cessation of production
in MA Field, freeing flexible flowlines
of hydrocarbons and the flushing
of umbilicals were completed, and
the floating production storage
and offloading (FPSO) unit was
demobilised. The flexible flowlines,
dynamic flexibles, dynamic
umbilicals, subsea structures,
mooring lines and the Submerged
Turret Production (STP) buoy were
decommissioned in accordance
with the Field Decommissioning Plan,
which was approved by the OISD and
the MC. Well P&A has been completed
for all MA wells.
Exploration strategy
RIL and its partner bp acquired Block
KGUDWHP-2018/ (KG-UDW1) under the
OALP II licensing round. The Petroleum
Exploration License (PEL) was issued in
August 2019, with 341 days’ extension
of the Initial Exploration Phase granted
in 2021. Despite the pandemic and
related challenges and constraints,
the 3D Seismic Acquisition campaign
was completed in the Block. Currently,
Data Processing and Interpretation
work is ongoing for prospect
maturation, with a plan to drill the first
exploration well in 2023.

Management Discussion and Analysis — Business OverviewOIL AND GAS E&PIntegrated Annual Report 2021-22Reliance Industries Limited New Technologies:
Bio-CBM
RIL is engaged in R&D efforts to
increase recovery from CBM fields.
The current focus of this research
is Bio-CBM. In CBM, methane gas
is produced that is adsorbed and
trapped naturally in coal seams. The
Bio-CBM technology uses microbe
injection to produce in-situ methane
in places where either the coals are
devoid of methane or conventional
CBM extraction is uneconomical.
Lab tests have shown encouraging
results on the potential of methane
production. Research is underway
to verify if this technology can be
scaled up to commercial level. RIL is
leveraging its infrastructure (advance
laboratories), diverse inter-disciplinary
technical skills, CBM production
expertise, CBM fields and knowledge
of regulatory requirements to boost
the Bio-CBM research.
Business Performance
Coal Bed Methane (CBM)
RIL is currently producing Coal Bed
Methane (CBM) from Block SP (West)–
CBM–2001/1. More than 300 wells are
in production, with an average output
of 0.73 MMSCMD gas during the year.
To sustain plateau production, CBM
development is being undertaken in
Blocks SP (West)–CBM–2001/1 and SP
(East)–CBM–2001/1.
Reliance Gas Pipeline Limited, a
subsidiary of RIL, operates the
302 km Shahdol-Phulpur Pipeline
from Shahdol (MP) to Phulpur (UP),
connecting the CBM gas fields
with the Indian gas grid, thus
providing access to consumers
across the country.
US Shale
During the year, Reliance Eagleford
Upstream Holding, LP (REUHLP) a
wholly owned step-down subsidiary
of RIL, signed an agreement with
Ensign Operating III, LLC to divest its
interest in certain upstream assets in
the Eagleford shale play of Texas, USA.
With this transaction, RIL has divested
all its shale gas assets and exited
from the shale gas business in the US.

Outlook
Gas is expected to play a key role
as a transition fuel and share of
gas in energy mix is expected
to increase from 6% to 15% by
CY 2030.
Globally, gas markets are
becoming tighter and gas prices
have seen spikes across Europe,
Asia and also India. With the
resurgence in economic activities,
receding COVID-19 cases ,
ongoing geopolitical conflict in
Europe and gas supplies trailing
demand, gas prices are expected
to remain high in the medium
term.
With all three fields in production,
the KG D6 Block will produce
>1 BCFe/day by FY 2023-24, thereby
contributing ~30% to India’s gas
production and helping meet
~20% of India’s demand. This
will help reduce the country’s
import dependence and meet
the growing clean energy
requirements of the nation.

Climate Change and the Energy Transition
Risk Description
Climate change is the biggest threat to humanity's collective and continued well-being. Therefore, the transition
from old energy to new, green and clean energy is inevitable and will trigger major geopolitical shifts, economic
transformations and redefine financial models in the 21st century.
The accelerated pace of transition to a lower-carbon world will be accompanied by far-reaching changes in
regulations, governance norms, market conditions and technology. Societal sentiments against harmful environmental
practices are growing. Regulations mandating the minimum use of renewable energy for operations and incentivising
the use of alternate energy sources coupled with technological advances and changing customer preferences have
the potential to lower demand for fossil fuels and their price, increase RIL's operational costs and prevent access to
strategically important markets and new energy reserves.
Climate change related disruptions, including rising temperatures and sea levels, heat waves, erratic rainfall, floods and
droughts can adversely impact the smooth functioning of RIL's supply chain.
Financial institutions and investors are nudging the world's transition to a low-carbon economy and limiting their
exposure to particular industries or projects. These developments could affect access to capital markets for Reliance
and its partners. The rising sentiment against fossil fuels could impact shareholder opinions and cause fluctuations in
RIL's valuation. RIL could be impacted by growing litigation and activism, necessitating increased environmental and
legal liability provisions. Trade regimes and tariff caps could further impact the Company's financial flows. Measures
to make organisations accountable for their GHG emissions may increase compliance costs arising from technology
investments needed for monitoring, mitigation and sequestering.
Risk Response
Addressing climate change through
energy transition is a strategic focus
of RIL's business continuity plans.
We believe if Old Energy created
the problem of Climate Change,
New Energy is poised to provide a
reliable solution to Climate Mitigation.
Reliance has announced a Net
Carbon Zero target for 2035, going
beyond compliance requirements
and business imperatives. We aim to
invest `75,000 crore by 2024 to:
• Enable at least 100 GW of solar
energy by 2030
• Build four Giga factories to build an
integrated, end-to-end renewable
energy ecosystem
• Invest in enhancing the value
chain, partnerships and future
technologies, including upstream
and downstream industries
• Transform RIL's business to Net
Carbon Zero operations
We have a 15-year vision to rebuild
Reliance as one of the world's leading
New Energy and New Materials
Company. The roadmap includes
creating sustainable energy sources
and materials for India's future needs,
building world-scale assets that
produce clean fuels and materials
of the future and developing next-
generation Carbon Capture and
Storage technologies to convert
carbon dioxide into useful products
and chemicals.

We are developing the Dhirubhai
Ambani Green Energy Giga Complex
on 5,000 acres in Jamnagar,
comprising four Giga Factories.
These include an integrated solar
photovoltaic module factory, an
advanced energy storage battery
factory for intermittent energy, an
Electrolyser Factory for the production
of Green Hydrogen and a Fuel Cell
Factory for converting hydrogen into
motive and stationary power. We
are also setting up infrastructure in
Jamnagar to manufacture ancillary
material and equipment needed
to support the Giga Factories and
enabling independent manufacturers
to join and grow as part of this
ecosystem. Reliance R&D teams
are actively working to make CO2 a
recyclable resource and innovating
lower emission technologies.
As we transition into a New Energy
era, targets for periodic reductions
in emissions are being established,
which will be monitored regularly
through governance mechanisms
that oversee RIL's progress toward Net
Carbon Zero goals.
The transition to a world that is
powered by clean energy is a capital
intensive journey. RIL's strong balance
sheet, operational efficiencies
and competitive edge will help us
to absorb the impact of energy
transition costs, carbon taxes or
lower margins.
RIL keeps its stakeholders abreast
of its climate change goals through
ongoing engagement. We believe
that this alignment is critical if
we are to succeed in creating a
sustainable future for our Company
and our stakeholders and build the
Reliance of tomorrow.
Commodity Prices and Markets
Risk Description
Despite a sharp demand recovery from the lows seen during the pandemic in 2020-21, total oil demand is yet to reach
pre-pandemic levels either globally or in India. This, coupled with commissioning of additional refining capacity
notwithstanding the refinery closures in the West due to poor economics and in China due to pollution, keeps refining
margins under pressure.
The crude oil market remains tight due to production from OPEC Plus countries falling short of their targets and
continued sanctions on Iran and Venezuela. Crude oil stocks have fallen close to 5-year lows. Besides, geopolitical
developments like Russia and US/EU standoff on Ukraine and Houthi drone attacks in the UAE have added to the
price volatility as well as causing a high-risk premium on crude oil. Alongside the above, gas prices also rose sharply
increasing input costs.
Impact of unforeseen events like pandemic on product evacuation, challenges in logistics and thereby probable
risk of stock surplus, plant shutdowns and stringent recycling norms and government regulations can reduce
plastic consumption.
Reliance Retail operates in the consumer sector and a slowdown in macro-economic growth and weak consumer
sentiments/spending could have a bearing on its performance. Government restrictions on account of the COVID-19
pandemic could affect smooth operation of business activities, store operation, and expansion. Sporadic disruptions in
the operating environment and inability to build infrastructure at a pace and scale needed by the rapidly growing Retail
business could hinder operational efficiency and customer service.
Competitive pressure from the retail industry reflected in price wars between various retailers and resulted in traditional
retailers moving from the physical retail world into e-commerce platforms disrupting walk-ins.
Risk Response
Proactive measures by Reliance
such as revised product placement
strategies, placement in deficit
market through exports to diverse
geographical locations mitigated
the risk of non-evacuation with
minimal adverse effect. Robust
supply chain network and additional
temporary warehouses closer to
the customer locations to address
the demand variability issues in the
domestic market. The Company
increased the usage of multimodal
logistics (including coastal) to
fulfil its contractual commitment
to customers. Reliance has either
started to supply or increased
volumes to some countries in Africa
and Latin America. Also, the Company
has been targeting more end users/
buyers for exports and offering
cargoes on delivered basis.
In respect of crude oil, the Company
has increased sourcing from North
America (Canada in particular) as
well as non-conventional feedstocks

Management Discussion and AnalysisIntegrated Annual Report 2021-22Reliance Industries Limited like Straight run Fuel Oil to overcome
the tightness prevailing in heavy
crude oil supplies. Leveraging the
versatility of its assets, the Company
has added more than 10 new grades
of feedstock during the year. To
mitigate the impact of high gas
prices, Reliance did not import LNG
during the year and managed with
domestic gas and liquid fuels. With
the foregoing mitigating measures,
the Company ensured near 100%
capacity utilisation.
Information feedback mechanism
has been strengthened with the
appointing of representatives in
China and the Middle East. Reliance is
focusing on plastic waste collection
and disposal, increasing recycling
footprint in the country.
Reliance Retail undertakes a detailed
analysis of the macro-economic
situation and emerging risks for each
consumption basket and undertakes
suitable mitigation strategies.
Reliance Retail has built a resilient
operating model and operates
an integrated channel strategy
encompassing physical stores, digital
commerce platforms and partner
merchant ecosystem that helps in
engaging with consumers at all times.
Reliance Retail has opened over 2,500
stores and expanded reach through
Digital and New commerce channels
with requisite investments in supply
chain infrastructure and technology.
During the year, business gained
operating efficiency and footfalls as
environment returned to normalcy.
Reliance Retail is ahead of all market
competitors, in terms of 'pricing'. Till
date, it is known as one of the 'lowest
price' operator nationally. Operating
with huge volumes gives it a strong
foundational support and acts as a
competitive advantage to its overall
pricing strategy.
Customer Experience and Retention
Risk Description
Digital Services being a customer oriented business, any sub-optimal customer experience may result in customer
dissatisfaction and increased chances of churn.
In a fast-changing external environment, with evolving customer preferences and shopping habits, inability of the retail
business to stay abreast of these trends and behaviours could weaken its compelling value proposition and offering for
customers. If the products sold are not safe or otherwise fail to meet customers' expectations, Reliance Retail could lose
customers, incur liability for any injuries suffered by customers and have material impact over brand, reputation and
financial performance.
Risk Response
In spite of the resurgence of the
pandemic, unpredictable and
challenging environment, Digital
Services has further consolidated its
position as one of the world’s largest
and fastest growing mobile and
wireline data network and has India’s
largest subscriber base.
Digital business has adopted multiple
measures for sustained customer
experience including superior usage
and billing experience across all
touchpoints, anytime, anywhere
mobile and wireline broadband
network access, best-in-class
customer service backed by AI
BoTs and app based QRC process,
competitive tariff pricing and
agile model while developing its
systems and platforms.
Customer engagement remains
robust with strong gross additions of
subscribers, significant increase in net
MNP subscribers and increase in per
capita data usage.
The Company has also invested in
newer technologies start-up’s such
as AI / ML, Blockchain, BoT, Speech /
NLP, Metaverse, Mobility & 5G network,
Robotics, Cloud & Edge computing
etc. Use of these technologies will
further enhance customer experience
and value proposition.
Reliance Retail is a consumer centric
organisation and adapts to any
changes in customer preferences
and shopping habits through
market study to stay abreast of the
emerging trends. Entry into new
categories, adapting merchandise to
suit changing consumer demands,
launching of new store formats
are some of the initiatives that are
undertaken from time to time. All our
businesses have taken cognizance
of ‘CUSTOMER SAFETY’ as the top-
most value and priority. All our
products manufactured in-house,
across formats, follow stringent
safety norms and adhere to rigorous
quality checks. Regular screening
and checks for these products are
also undertaken when supplied by
vendors/ third party vendors.

Oversight over Investee Companies/Alliances
Risk Description
Reliance has entered into strategic alliances and other business relationships with various entities to expand its
operations. Lack of oversight over Investee companies or not being able to successfully integrate RIL's acquisitions
might adversely impact its business and competitive position or affect its financial performance or result in significant
costs to integrate.
Risk Response
Reliance incorporates the process
of immediately aligning investment/
investee companies to the Group
and rolls-out the Group governance
framework and integrates the
newly acquired companies in a
structured manner.
Talent to Support Scaling Business
Risk Description
With people at the heart of the business, Reliance's inability to attract, retain or develop employees relative to the scale
and breadth of its operations could adversely affect its business.
Risk Response
Reliance has built a robust in-house
Talent pool for all business-critical
roles and created a rigorous training
regime to have successors ready at
every front end. Open culture and
work environment are fostered in
the organisation.
Data Privacy Risk
Risk Description
Its campus outreach and
engagement initiatives have helped
RIL to secure prime slots on the
campus for graduate engineers as
well as MBAs. Concerted efforts on job
rotations and growth opportunities
have propelled the productivity and
longevity indicators.
RIL has established a ‘Forward
Looking’ culture by forecasting
emerging trends related to people
skills along with continuous training
sessions. This has helped in putting
together a talent pool with large scale
skilling initiatives, digitisation and
succession planning for businesses.
In this digital economy, businesses collect, process, and analyse data from individuals to understand their
customers better and provide customised experiences. Collecting and using data necessitates several concerns
about data privacy.
Stringent Data Privacy laws and regulations are in place that regulate the collection, storage, and handling of personal
information by businesses globally. Presently, Information Technology Act 2000 (amendment 2008) governs the data
privacy requirements in our country and India is on the cusp of adopting a comprehensive personal data protection law.
At Reliance, due to the expansion of B2C businesses, and large scale digitisation, there is an imperative need to handle
personal data of customers, consumers, employees, partners and service providers. While these data helps RIL give
personalised and customised services, it also poses risk of data breach and non-compliances to laws and regulations.

While Reliance is compliant with the
existing data privacy laws of India, it is
also in the process of implementing
global best practices on Data

Safety and Operational Risks
Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE) Risks in Operations
Risk Description
Risk Response
Reliance makes sure that all its
business processes follow privacy-
by-design principle and makes sure
that the Company handles privacy
information securely and with all
fiduciary responsibilities. Reliance
conducts privacy impact analysis for
all the businesses on a regular basis
and makes sure that the gaps if any
are closed efficiently.
Reliance is quite cognizant of the risks
in handling personal data and takes
utmost care to handle these securely.
Ensuring and safeguarding data
privacy is one of the top priorities
for RIL. Reliance believes in staying
always ahead of the compliance
curve and remaining compliant
to all present and future laws and
regulations related to Data Privacy.
Cybersecurity Risk
Risk Description
COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the digital transformation and the way the Company works has fundamentally
changed. This has subsequently increased RIL's dependence on digital technologies. While Reliance continues to
focus on large scale digitisation, it brings a lot of concerns around Cyber Security with the use of new technologies,
open source software, adoption of cloud, etc. Consequently, cyber-attack surfaces also increase substantially which
increases the cyber security risks.
Digital services being technology driven, there is an inherent risk of errors, bugs, or security vulnerabilities in products
and internal systems.
Risk Response
The Company realises the
consequence of digital
transformation in terms of increase
of the cyber-attack surface due to
use of new generation technologies
like Cloud, AI, ML, Blockchain etc. and
takes utmost care to ensure that
cyber security controls are part of the
design itself so that the Company is
secure-by-design.
through employees’ mandatory
trainings and training for RIL's service
providers are important controls and
the Company considers this as a
'Human Firewall'. Reliance has also
developed an anti-phishing platform
in-house viz R-Phish, through which
Reliance conducts regular phishing
simulation to make sure that all its
users are phishing resistant.
Measures taken by the Company
include shift-left strategy in ensuring
that security is completely integrated
into the DevOps pipeline, highest
order of security automation and
orchestration to attain efficiency in its
cyber defense, and validation of its
cyber posture by third party experts.
Increased cyber security awareness
All RIL's businesses, manufacturing
units are ISO 27001 compliant for
the last 5 years in a row and all its
retail operations (Reliance Retail and
Petroleum Retail (Jio BP) are certified
with the latest PCI DSS (Payment card
industry Data Security Standard).
Reliance is the only organised and
multi brand retail business in the
country to demonstrate PCI DSS
certification continuously for nine
years in a row.
Multiple layers of proactive and
reactive controls are adopted for
Digital Services to mitigate risk of
vulnerabilities such as Penetration
tests on a routine basis, a Bug-
bounty program since the last 3
years to crowdsource security testing
of live products by independent
security researchers. A mature
cybersecurity program based on
NIST (National Institute of Standards
and Technology) Cybersecurity
Framework has been adopted.
All systems and security tools are
monitored for any cyberattacks via a
24x7 Security Operations Centre.
HSE risks include the effects of natural disasters (floods, earthquakes, among others) and safety lapses on human
capital. The nature of its operations exposes the Company, its employees and the society, to a wide range of health,
safety, security and environment risks due to the geographical location and technical complexity of operations.
Various HSE regulations across geographies regulate Reliance’s business of Exploration & Production of oil and gas, and
their further refining and downstream processing. A major HSE incident, such as fire, oil spill and security breach, can
result in loss of life, environmental degradation and overall disruption in business activities.
HSE risk in retail extends to food safety and waste management also. The nature of retail operations exposes RIL's
employees and contractors to a wide range of occupational health hazards as well as safety risks due to complexity
of operational requirements. Changes in HSE regulatory framework possibly will have lasting effect on Retail Business,
especially in the environmental domain like changes in plastic waste management and e-waste rules.
Risk Response
During the year, RIL's facilities in
the hydrocarbon business have
continued focused efforts to
manage the risks for safe, reliable,
and compliant operations. Safety
and operational risk management
framework continues to play a pivotal
role in consistently managing HSE
risks on a real-time basis.
Reliance entities have devised novel
ways to review and audit the facilities
periodically through virtual and
physical means. Reliance has been
active in networking with industry and
sponsored and participated in the ‘6th
Global Summit on Process Safety by
Centre for Chemical Process Safety’
and continued its contribution in
developing safe industry practices
through participation in Standards
Committees of statutory authorities
(OISD, PNGRB, etc.)
Reliance’s digital safety platform
project has progressed well in
digitalising its key HSE processes
through Industry 4.0 technologies.
This year, Reliance rolled out solutions
for digitalising risk registers, three
lines of defense program across its
key hydrocarbon entities. Reliance
has undertaken significant activities
on new projects in hydrocarbon
business, in its fuel retail business
and New Energy domain, which have
progressed through various phases.
Reliance has taken various measures
to protect health of its workforce
in the pandemic.
The Retail business poses risks
inherent to retail operations involving
fire, breakdown in work event and risk
related to ergonomics. Every member
of the workforce is communicated
on the potential exposure to HSE
risks, and they are an integral part of
risk management. For the Grocery
business, food safety checks have
been implemented to provide
multiple layers of assurance, thereby
ensuring the safety of consumers.
Safety and Environmental Risks During Transportation
Risk Description
With most of the crude being supplied to RIL by sea vessels, and the overwhelming majority of refined products being
exported by sea, road and pipeline, the Company faces the risk of HSE incidents, oil spills and so on, leading to disruption
in business activities.
Events like technical integrity failure, natural disasters, extreme weather, human error and other adverse events or
conditions could lead to loss of containment of hydrocarbons or other hazardous materials, as well as fires, explosions or
other personal and process safety incidents.
RIL operates a fleet of tugs, port service vessels and operations of port and terminal infrastructure and is exposed to a
complex and diverse range of marine risks, with respect to exploration vessels, oil tankers, chemical tankers, gas tankers,
and dry cargo vessels.

Compliance and Control Risks
Regulatory Compliance Risks
Risk Description
Increased regulatory scrutiny has raised the bar on regulatory compliance. This requires alignment of corporate
performance objectives, with regulatory compliance requirements. COVID-19 has led the government to announce a
range of notifications which companies need to adopt swiftly and effectively.
Changes in the regulatory environment, licensing processes and timelines could potentially impede the ease of
doing business.
Risk Response
Reliance has adopted a digitally-
enabled comprehensive compliance
management framework. It is
integrated with business processes,
risks and controls. Changes in
regulations, including COVID-19
induced changes, are also tracked
and integrated within the Reliance
Compliance Management System.
Effective control and efficient
oversight of the senior management
is ensured by cascading the
responsibility matrix till the last
performer of the activity. Apart
from assurance through Three
lines of defense, compliances
are also periodically monitored
through the Segment Compliance
Committees and the Group
Compliance Committee.
Regular interactions with various
trade associations/ councils help in
anticipating regulatory environment
and through attuning to any
policy changes.
The Company’s Code of Conduct,
training as well as focus on
ensuring 100% compliance and
continuous monitoring have
enabled a mature, digitally-enabled
compliance framework.
Risk Response
RIL has a strong vessel vetting,
incident monitoring and emergency
response system. A robust ship
vetting programme ensures the
vessels that are contracted to carry
RIL cargo or those calling Sikka port
to load products ‘Free-on-board’
are screened based on risks prior to
their induction. The third-party ship
vetting system, based on extensive
data analysis, provides a risk rating
benchmarked against other similar
vessels. This allows a clear picture of
the quality of the vessel and whether
it is acceptable to RIL.
Periodic vendor management audits
are carried out for time charters and
STS service providers in accordance
with the Marine Assurance Framework.
Where physical inspection of time-
charter vessels is not feasible due to
COVID-19 protocol, a desktop review
is carried out.
Emergency Response system has
been tried out in real scenario and
found to be adequate. Incident
Management includes root cause
analysis and ensuring ship-owners'
addressal of the same. The data
is further used in assisting legal/
operations in case of any potential
losses to RIL as a result of the incident.
RIL’s control framework for road
transportation has matured over
a period of time and is run in
collaboration with contractors. The
contractors are supported by the
Company through capacity building
for their drivers in areas such as
defensive driving, route hazard
mapping and real time tracking.
Physical Security and Natural Calamity Risks
Risk Description
Due to the geographical spread of operations, both onshore as well as offshore, Reliance is vulnerable to manmade
and natural disasters. It is an attractive target for activities related to terrorism, criminal and violent protests, which could
cause harm to people, infrastructure and disrupt business operations. Pandemic conditions can also have a severe
impact. Therefore, it is important to proactively focus on safeguarding people and infrastructure from all internal and
external threats.
Prompt and adequate response is required to deal with all the internal and external crises and at the same time have
the situational awareness to do so. Business continuity plans are critical to ensure that business operations are not
disrupted and if required, are restored at the earliest. Otherwise, this could adversely impact the Company’s operations
and reputation.
Some of the network locations, offices, employees and other ecosystems are subject to various forms of intentional or
natural disruptions, thereby impacting network availability, customer experience, restoration cost and efforts.
Risk Response

Insurance – Risk
Mitigation
SEBI – Developments
During the Year
Reliance operations may be subject
to a number of circumstances which
are not wholly within the Company's
control and which could adversely
affect its operations. To cover such
eventualities, Reliance maintains
a robust risk mitigation practice
by transferring the insurable risk to
insurer. Mostly protection is on All Risk
basis which includes cover against
fire, explosions, natural catastrophes,
breakdown, terrorism etc. Entire
insurance program is designed
in such a way that adequate
protection is available for all assets
belonging to Reliance and against
the liability arising out of business
operations. Protection design is
best-in-class and takes care of entire
Reliance’s operations.
During the year, SEBI came out
with SEBI (Listing Obligations and
Disclosure Requirements) (Second
Amendment) Regulations 2021 w.e.f.
May 05, 2021 including requirements
related to Risk Management.
Also, it may be mentioned that these
risk management practices have
been adopted by the Company since
year 2018, largely on lines of global
best practices.

Incomprehensible (BANI) world.
Reliance’s risk management is
agile for course correction and is
scalable to support new businesses
and ventures, including dealing
with upside risks.
Financial Risks
Treasury Risks
Risk Description
As part of managing the market facing assets and liabilities, Treasury is exposed to the following key risks:
Liquidity Risk
As the global economy continues to recover from COVID-19, Central banks maintained accommodative stance during
the year resulting in low interest rates and ample liquidity. The RBI is expected to remain dovish in the near term to
support growth despite global rate hikes. Overall liquidity situation is also expected to remain comfortably in surplus.
Interest Rate Risk
Reliance borrows funds from domestic and international markets to meet its funding requirements. Given the
accommodative stance from Central banks, interest rates remained low during the year and RIL benefited from it. RIL is
now subject to risks arising from fluctuations in interest rates.
Foreign Exchange (FX) Risk
Reliance prepares its financial statements in Indian Rupee (INR), but most of the payables and receivables of the
Hydrocarbon business are in US dollars. Foreign currency liabilities are availed to fund its capital investments and
working capital requirements. Rupee depreciation impacts the landed cost of the foreign currency liabilities. The
depreciation for this year has been 3.7%.
Credit Risk
Reliance deploys surplus liquidity primarily in Government securities, State Government securities, AAA Corporate bonds
and Debt mutual funds. Corporate bonds and Debt Mutual Fund investments bear credit risk.
Risk Response
The Company continues to maintain
sufficient liquidity buffer to meet
additional demands that may
emerge on account of the growth
and new businesses. Reliance issued
fixed rate Long-term senior unsecured
notes of US$4.0 billion, primarily for
refinancing maturities.
Interest rate risk is managed
actively through financial derivative
instruments available to convert
floating rate liabilities into fixed rate
liabilities or vice-versa. FX bonds
issuance of US$4.0 billion was done
at a fixed coupon to lock in the
prevailing low levels of interest rates
and credit spreads.
Foreign Exchange (FX) risk arising from
the mismatch of foreign currency
assets, liabilities and earnings is
tracked and managed as per the
Internal Risk Management Framework.
Direct investments are restricted to
Board approved select AAA rated
corporates. Debt Mutual Fund
investments are managed and
monitored based on a tight internal
Risk Management Framework
and restricted to high credit
quality schemes.

Integrated
Approach to
Sustainable Growth
We Care
The pervasive unifying thread that
runs through everything that Reliance does is the spirit of 'We Care'.
For Reliance, 'We Care' is not just about caring for the financial and economic
well-being of the Company and its stakeholders. It is also about taking
cognisance of the non-financial and social parameters, the convergence of
which is critical to optimise trust and goodwill with its stakeholders and the larger
ecosystem. The Company's unique strength lies in its ability to balance financial
and non-financial goals. It gives Reliance the edge to tap opportunities across
the spectrum to strengthen its long-term sustainable value creation potential
while meeting the needs of its diverse stakeholders.
Given the complexity of Reliance's
operations and its growth aspirations,
it must embrace the latest technology
advances, invest in robust research
capabilities, nurture communities
and stay abreast of ever-evolving
customer preferences. The Company
must also create a mutually
rewarding experience for employees
and reduce the environmental
impact of every action it undertakes.
Reliance understands the importance
of monitoring and mitigating risks
and identifying opportunities that
can directly or indirectly impact
its present and future existence. Its
approach has always been holistic so
that the interdependencies between
the different aspects of business
and the cause-effect relationship
are synchronous. Its determination
to walk this balanced path and grow
while keeping 'Care' at the core are
reflected in the Company's resilient
and sustained financial performance.
The disclosures made in this
part of the report are shaped
by industry best practices and
universally accepted standards and
frameworks such as Global Reporting
Initiative(GRI), International Integrated
Reporting Council (IIRC), Task Force on

Development Goals (SDGs) and
World Economic Forum's International
Business Council (WEF-IBC) metrics.

Reliance Industries –
Extending 'Care' during COVID-19
The world has grappled with a health and humanitarian crisis rarely
seen in history as it battled the COVID-19 pandemic in the past two
years. For Reliance, caring for its stakeholders during these troubled
times took centre stage. Just as people around the globe were
struggling to manage the first wave of the pandemic, the debilitating
second wave struck the world and India in 2021. Against this backdrop,
Reliance's enduring commitment to 'Serve' or deliver 'Seva' to India
and humanity became even more crucial. It formed the nucleus of
proactive support to communities undertaken by the Company.
Drawing on its combined strengths,
the 'One Reliance' family worked
round the clock to quickly mobilise
efforts on the ground to deliver 'CARE'
and support the nation's fight against
the pandemic. Since its inception, the
Company's dedication to inclusive
growth, sustainable development and
meeting stakeholder expectations
have been a part of its core values.
Reliance's commitment to its
stakeholders includes but is not
limited to the communities in which
it operates, the employees who drive
its growth, the suppliers and partners
who help achieve its business goals
and the customers who are the lifeline
of the Company. Reliance's spirit of
'WE CARE' encompasses all Indians
and the humanity at large. Today as
India and the world emerge out of
the shadows of COVID-19, the spirit
of resilience has become the new
lodestone guiding Reliance in the
post-pandemic era.

Employee Care
During the pandemic, Reliance
extended care to its employees and
the 'One Reliance' family through a
four-pronged approach that covered
communications, risk reduction,
creating Infrastructure, and ensuring
health and well-being, with a focus
on mental health.
• In addition to implementing
stringent social distancing norms,
all work locations were sanitised
every three hours. Materials
entering sites and townships were
fumigated to ensure safety.
• To contain the spread of the virus,
Reliance ran daily temperature
checks and ran a separate
Outpatient Department for
employees with symptoms.
• Reliance initiated an online
symptom-checker where the
employees filled questionnaires
daily to identify high-risk cases and
extend support, as required.
• The Company adopted robust
testing modalities in collaboration
with the state-of-the-art Reliance
Life Science Labs to maximise
testing capacity.
• Reliance developed dedicated
COVID-19 care centres across
various locations housing over
2,000 beds for critical patients.
• The Company implemented a
COVID Pass Authenticator that has
been integrated with the online
symptom checker and testing data.
• The Company announced an
initiative, 'Reliance Family Support
and Welfare Scheme', under which
it extends support to the bereaved
family members of the employees
who succumbed to COVID-19.
• The Company made provisions
for special COVID leave that
employees can avail if they or
their family members are affected
by the pandemic.
• For off-roll workforce members
who succumbed to the pandemic,
the Company, through Reliance
Foundation, extended its support
to the bereaved families by
contributing a lump sum payment
of `10 lakh directly to the nominee
of the deceased.
• In line with the Government of
India's guidelines, Reliance rolled
out its vaccination programme,
called Mission Vaccine Suraksha, for
all its employees and eligible family
members. As of FY 2021-22, nearly
100% of the eligible employees
have been administered the
first dose under Mission Vaccine
Suraksha and 96% of all the eligible
employees are fully vaccinated.
• To address physical and mental
health challenges, Reliance
implemented webinars on lifestyle
disorders and ways to manage the
post-pandemic impact, Diabetes
Control Mission, BMI reduction
programme, and lifestyle clinic,
amongst others.
• Teleconsultations with specialists
were conducted via the
JioHealthHub app.
• Yoga and meditation sessions and
peer-to-peer discussion platforms
were facilitated.

Mission Oxygen: setting up
the largest production unit of
medical-grade liquid oxygen
from a single location in India
Availability of medical grade oxygen
for impacted patients was a life-saving
need during COVID-19, especially
during the second wave. Under the
dedicated personal supervision of
the Chairman and Managing Director,
Shri Mukesh D. Ambani, the Company
re-engineered its existing facilities
to set up the largest production
facilities in India to produce and
deliver medical oxygen from a
single location in record time. The
Company adopted a two-pronged
approach to strengthening the
availability of medical-grade oxygen
in India, including:
• Refocusing several industrial
processes at Reliance's Jamnagar
and other facilities for rapid scale-
up in the production of medical-
grade liquid oxygen.
• Managing the supply chain
by augmenting loading and
transportation capacities to
ensure the swift and safe supply
of oxygen to states and Union
Territories across India.
Despite not being a manufacturer of
medical-grade oxygen historically,
the Company's engineers quickly
reconfigured and optimised
operations, which were initially
designed for refining and producing
petrochemical grade oxygen to
produce high-purity medical-grade
oxygen during the second wave of the
pandemic. Reliance also converted
nitrogen tankers into transport trucks
for medical-grade oxygen through
innovative and safe processes
approved by the Petroleum and
Explosives Safety Organisation (PESO),
the relevant regulatory body of the
Government of India.
In the words of Chairman and Managing
Director Shri Mukesh D. Ambani, "For me
and all of us at Reliance, nothing is
more important than saving every
life as India battles against a new
wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.
There is an immediate need to
maximise India's production and
transportation capacities for medical
grade oxygen. I am proud of our
engineers at Jamnagar who have
worked tirelessly, with a great sense
of patriotic urgency, to meet this
new challenge. I am truly humbled
by the determination and sense of
purpose shown by the bright, young
members of the Reliance family
who have once again risen to the
occasion and delivered when India
needs it the most."
Expanding COVID Care
Facilities
• As the second wave of COVID-19
infections gripped the country,
Reliance BP Mobility Limited
(RBML, Operating under the brand
name Jio-bp) reintroduced its

• Reliance procured and
administered 40+ lakh vaccine
doses. Of this, 9.4 lakh doses were
given to various state governments
and 2 lakh to the armed forces.

Reliance's Integrated Approach to
ESG Governance
Since its inception, Reliance has been
committed to sustainable growth,
which has only been possible due
to the underpinning governance.
The Company recognises the role of
robust governance mechanisms for
long-term value creation. Efficient
corporate governance has acted as
a pillar of Reliance's sustained growth
throughout the year.
Reliance's Corporate Governance
practices are driven by the principles
of transparency, accountability,
and integrity. This is operationalised
by relevant policies and Standard
Operating Procedures (SOPs) to
ensure compliance and good
governance for all stakeholders.

Reliance’s senior leadership
comprises of a 14-member Board
which is responsible for direction
and oversight of Reliance. The
Board of Directors come from
diverse backgrounds with unique
competencies and rich experience.
The induction into the Board of
Directors is instituted by the Board
level Human Resources, Nomination
and Remuneration Committee. This
Committee oversees aspects which
include formulation of the criteria for
determining qualifications, positive
attributes, and independence of
a Director, and recommend to
the Board a policy, relating to the
remuneration of the Directors, Key
Managerial Personnel, and other
employees. The Committee has
also developed a set of criteria for
evaluating the performance of the
Board of Directors, including that of
Independent Directors. Attendance,
familiarity with the business, and
engagement are some of the key
parameters defined for evaluating
the Board's performance. The Board
of Directors, through its Committees,
oversee the ESG initiatives
and performance.
Board diversity in skill-set, nationality,
experience, and perspective is
important for effective leadership and
governance. A diverse Board provides
guidance and effective oversight
over the Company's operations.
It enhances responsiveness to
stakeholder needs, collaboration
across departments, and provides
expertise leading to the continuous
growth of the Company. Presently,
the Board consists of two eminent
women directors.
Regulatory Issues and
Compliance
Regulatory compliance at Reliance
has been of utmost importance,
especially in an evolving regulatory
scenario. Reliance’s Regulatory
compliance risk is addressed by the
Reliance Compliance Management
System. It is a digitally enabled
comprehensive compliance
management framework that's
integrated with business processes,
risks and controls and updated on
a regular basis.
Changes in regulations are
also monitored on an ongoing
basis by the Group Compliance
Committee. The Directors get
monthly or quarterly information
on key statutory and regulatory
developments, as well as
key judicial rulings affecting
interpretation of important laws.

business-related ESG challenges and
opportunities.

the initiatives taken by the Company
from an environmental, social and
governance perspective is reviewed
and recommended to the Board by the
CSR&G Committee. The progress on the
Company’s CSR initiatives is periodically
reviewed by the CSR&G Committee
and the Company’s Board of Directors.
RIL continuously enhances its existing
systems and processes to capture
the impact of its social/economic and
developmental initiatives. The Risk

announced its National Hydrogen Mission, which aims to boost green hydrogen
production. As a Company that is always focused on growing businesses of the
future and making India a stronger economy, Reliance will lead by leveraging
its strengths that include finance, talent, technology, and proven project
execution capabilities. The Company aims to play a meaningful role in meeting
the country's growing energy demand sustainably by making its New Energy
business truly global.
Reliance's Strategy
As a part of Reliance’s long-term strategy on emission reduction, the Company
is committed to reducing its overall operational GHG footprint – Scope 1 or
direct emissions and Scope 2 or indirect emissions from energy purchase.
The O2C Net Zero plan is anchored on six key strategic initiatives, which
are as follows:
Improving energy efficiency
Energy transition to clean and green renewable energy
from fossil fuels
Repurposing of petcoke gasification streams to utilise syngas for
producing chemicals and hydrogen
Producing syngas on a renewable basis through
biomass gasification
Using Carbon Dioxide (CO2) as a recyclable resource and
adopting Carbon Capture Utilisation and Sequestration
(CCUS) pathways such as but not limited to synthetic fuels
and chemicals, mineral carbonation in construction materials,
algae cultivation for biofuels and food supplements, and other
technology-led solutions
Generating carbon credits and using them to offset hard-to-
abate emissions
The Company is already accelerating
its progress through resource
efficiency and energy conservation.
As the business evolves towards
its Net Zero target, digitalisation
is one factor that enables the
ecosystem. Reliance is using its
global collaboration to help establish
the feasibility and successful
deployment of CCUS.
The Company's initiatives will
contribute towards the United Nations
Sustainable Development Goals (UN
SDGs) to combat climate change,
ensuring sustainable consumption
and production patterns, and
ensuring access to affordable,
reliable, sustainable, and modern
energy for all.
Reliance's Approach
Reliance is on the path of
transformation to move its legacy
businesses to Net Zero operations
and improve it further with the
best Corporate Governance and
sustainability systems.
The Company has already enlisted
eight global technocrats, many of
whom are advisers to governments
worldwide, as part of a nine member
New Energy Council. This Council will
be vital in leading an accelerated
transition and providing futuristic
solutions to practical problems that
may arise along the way.
Reliance's approach is to create a
New Energy ecosystem, transition
to clean energy and convert clean
energy to Green Chemicals.
Code of Conduct
With strict adherence to its
Code of Conduct Policy, RIL
maintains its reputation and
continues to earn the trust of its
stakeholders. A robust Code of
Conduct Policy ensures integrity,
accountability, and transparency
in the Company. RIL's code
lays down the responsibilities
and expectations for the
Directors, Business Partners,
Employees, Suppliers, and
other stakeholders. To deal with
ethical transgressions in the
organisation, the Company has
established the Vigil Mechanism,
Whistle blower Policy, and Ethics &
Compliance Task Force (ECTF).

Reliance Net Zero
Reliance's Goal
Reliance's Commitment
Reliance believes that although
climate change is a global threat,
but tackling it in a timely manner
can offer an opportunity to create
a healthier, happier, more secure
and resilient future. Therefore, the
global New Energy agenda has to
transcend from dialogue to action
and commitment through urgent
on-ground implementation. Led by
this vision, Reliance had announced
a target to be Net Zero by 2035.
To achieve this ambitious goal,
Reliance announced to:
• Establish and enable 100 GW of
solar energy by 2030
• Build Giga Factories to create and
offer a fully-integrated, end-to-
end renewable energy ecosystem
• Invest in value chain, partnerships
and future technologies,
including upstream and
downstream industries
• Transform its business to Net
Carbon Zero operations
As the world develops new
technologies to combat the effects
of climate change, Reliance has
embraced the need of the hour and
spearheaded its initiatives towards
decarbonisation. The Company is
transforming itself, embracing new-
age technologies and establishing
a comprehensive green energy
ecosystem in India, ranging from
solar modules and batteries to
hydrogen fuel cells.
Reliance sees investments in
renewables and alternative energy
as an active way to ensure positive
outcomes for future generations.
With renewables and alternative
energy dominating the future power
generation mix, the Company is
changing the way it operates.

Progress Towards Task Force on Climate Related
Financial Disclosures (TCFD)
In its quest to strengthen climate-
related disclosures and the
management and reporting of
climate-related risks in response
to the TCFD recommendations, the
Company is further strengthening
its endeavour to move towards
Net Zero. In line with the TCFD
risk methodology, it takes into
cognisance climate-related risks that
may hamper the Company's growth.
It has instituted steps to hedge
such identified risks using proper
lines of control.
Governance
Governance is one of the most
vital components of a company's
climate risk framework. This pillar
covers the Governance framework,
roles, responsibilities, and decision-
making procedures by which a
company adheres to its climate-
related commitments. Reliance
has a robust Governance structure
to identify and mitigate climate-
related risks and opportunities. The
Company's material issues that
may impact climate change are
assessed at regular intervals. The
Governance structure followed at
Reliance to oversee climate change
risk mitigation includes:

Strategy
Reliance conducts a deep analysis
of the climate-related nuances
of all its businesses to formulate
critical strategic advantages and
competitive strengths of each
segment. The structured materiality
assessment process also helps
determine issues vital to individual
business units and Reliance. The
Company has outlined its way
to decarbonise in Reliance's
Net Zero Strategy.
A detailed discussion on the
Company's New Energy Business to
achieve Net Zero by 2035 is provided
in the MD&A section of this report.
Risk and Opportunities
Climate-related risks pose threats
that have financial implications for
organisations, such as direct damage
to assets and indirect impacts on
the supply chain. Reliance identifies
such risks at the Corporate and
site levels through integrated work
processes and group-wide risk
management. It applies an Enterprise
Risk Management (ERM) framework
using top-down and bottom-up
approaches to anticipate any
issues and mitigate their impacts
in advance. Climate-related risk
management initiatives are analysed
through the lens of physical and
transition risks. To facilitate continuous
and real-time risk assessment,
Reliance has implemented a
'Three Lines of Defense' model
that encapsulates:
• First line of defense by Business/
Process managers through
Self-verification
• Second line of defense by the
Risk Management team through
Functional Assurance
• Third line of defense by the
Internal Audit and Management
Assurance Function offering
Independent Assurance
Reliance’s business operations face
risks from natural calamities due to
the vast spread of its operational
locations. Natural calamities which
are largely resultant of climate
change are being manifested in
terms of heat waves, erratic rainfall,
cyclones, floods, and drought.
The Company has created Global
Corporate Security (GCS). It is a
dedicated and distinct function that
focuses on adopting pre-emptive,
de-risking strategies to safeguard
and secure the Company from
disasters, natural calamities, and
any other disruptions or incidents
as a part of business continuity
management. GCS ensures that the
people, assets, and operations of
Reliance are secure.
To combat climate change, Reliance
has embarked on an ambitious
journey to transition to new, green,
and clean energy. However, this
transition to a lower carbon economy
brings its own set of risks which
include dynamic policy, legal,
regulatory, technology and market
developments and changes to
facilitate this transition.
Reliance sees a significant
opportunity in hydrogen and
alternate energy. Details on the
Company’s energy transition plan
is provided in the Natural Capital
section and the details on creating a
green energy ecosystem is in the New
Energy section.
Metrics and Targets
The disclosure on Metrics provides
information on how the Company
is progressing towards targeted
climate-related indicators. These are
the mechanisms for measuring and
disclosing the progress in line with the
commitments or ambitions set for
managing and mitigating the impact
of climate-related risks. Reliance
consistently discloses its metrics,
goals, and progress against them in
its Annual Integrated Report.
Reliance's assured climate-related
parameters and performance
metrics can be found in the section
on Natural Capital on PG 168-175
of this report.

Responding to the
Material Issues
Reliance has always strived to address issues concerning its
stakeholders and the growth of its businesses. The Company
consistently works towards creating a long-term value for all its
stakeholders by responding to their needs and expectations.
Materiality is principle that determines
which topics or issues directly or
indirectly impact an organisation’s
ability to create value for all
stakeholders and stay competitive.
The Company conducts in-depth
materiality assessment at defined
intervals to identify the topics that
are pertinent to its business and
stakeholders. At Reliance, materiality
assessment entails finding and
evaluating a wide range of potential
economic, environmental, and
social issues that could impact the
Company’s performance and its
stakeholders and then prioritising
them into important material topics.
Approach towards
Materiality
Reliance operates in dynamic
environments, and the assessment
of material topics is an ongoing
process that helps the Company
in prioritising the topics depending
on its criticality. Reliance conducted
a materiality assessment for the
listed entity during FY 2021-22. The
selection of material topics involved
identifying probable material issues
considering international reporting
standards and the priorities of peers.
Subsequently, key internal and
external stakeholders that have an
impact and influence on Reliance
were identified for the materiality
assessment. Inputs of the identified
stakeholders on the probable
material issues were captured
through relevant stakeholder
engagement mechanisms. A
detailed analysis of each probable
material issue was undertaken,
considering the inputs of stakeholders
and management. Further, the
material topics were prioritised
considering both management and
stakeholder perspectives.

Caring for Our Planet: Building a More Sustainable World
The unchecked rise in global temperatures and the resulting climatic disruptions
are impacting people, communities, and the business environment in multiple
ways. However, it is heartening to note the growing awareness among individuals,
communities, governments and businesses who are coming together in constructive
and impactful ways to contain the damage. Urgent affirmative action undertaken
at the national and international levels is helping build a more robust and carbon-
efficient foundation to secure the future of the planet. Recognising the urgent need of
containing the impact of climate change, a rapid transition from fossil fuels to a new
era of green, clean and renewable energy is imperative. Reliance understands that the
global new energy agenda needs to move from dialogue to action and commitment
to urgent implementation on the ground.

Management Approach
Reliance has a robust governance
framework to track, assess, and
improve how it manages its
natural capital consumption. The
Company has implemented annual
environmental and sustainability
action plans that are regularly
assessed and revised.
Reliance adopts a comprehensive
strategy at the Group level that
establishes company-wide HSE
objectives and processes for plant
operations to promote operational
discipline and performance. The
Company has developed a well-
defined HSE audit programme to verify
that management standards are
followed across its operations.
The Group Safety and Operational Risk
team monitor the quarterly evaluation
of business plans. They also regularly
perform independent reviews of
environmental aspects at the segment
and site levels. The asset lifecycle
is covered by a comprehensive
review system, which includes the
phases of implementation, operation,
and closure. Reliance continues to
strengthen its compliance systems
and processes through rigorous
internal and external audits.
Reducing the environmental footprint
across Reliance's businesses is key
to its operational performance.
The Company's environmental and
sustainability stewardship ensures that
its manufacturing sites meet consent
terms and environmental regulations
beyond compliance. Reliance
complies with all applicable laws and
regulations and periodically audits
operations to confirm compliance. The
Company ensures that its employees
are regularly trained and updated
on changing laws and regulations,
measures to prevent pollution,
minimise waste and other solutions to
reduce environmental impact.
The Company adopts comprehensive
measures and advanced technology
to reduce waste, energy and water
usage. It is also focused on reducing
and eliminating flaring and venting
of feed and product gases, including
volatile organic compounds. Reliance
tracks, streamlines and manages GHG
emissions across its manufacturing
units. Retrofitting investments are made
across every manufacturing division
to reduce the environmental impact
and energy consumption. Real-time
monitoring of stack emissions through
Continuous Emission Monitoring
System (CEMS) has enabled Reliance
to adhere to local standards for
parameters like SOx, NOx and TPM
emissions. Initiatives like converting
organic waste into bio-manure
through vermicomposting, stringent
monitoring measures to prevent
spills during storage, safe handling
and transportation of hydrocarbon
materials, have significantly reduced
the negative environmental impacts of
its operations.

Energy Efficiency of
Operations
Reliance recognises its obligation
towards climate change-related risks.
As a global player, it is incumbent
upon Reliance to overcome the
challenges of transitioning to a lower
carbon regime. The Company has
in place best-in-class technologies
and good operations & maintenance
(O&M) practices that ensure optimal
energy consumption at applicable
sites. During FY 2021-22, the energy
efficiency improvement initiatives
resulted in energy savings of 2.11
million GJ for RIL.
Dedicated Energy Teams pursue
relentless monitoring of energy
performance at all sites and at the
group level. The Company uses
in-house mechanisms to monitor
different energy usage parameters in
real-time. Along with tools to facilitate
decision-making, simulation and
visualisation of energy efficiency,
the monitoring system is also
integrated with production control
systems that make the Company’s
energy management system agile,
flexible, and effective. Energy audits
and benchmarking studies are also
conducted periodically to identify
performance gaps.
RIL adopts a strategy to manage energy based on the five tenets of
energy management:
Eliminate unnecessary energy use through process and heat
integration, quick restoration of equipment performance,
consumption optimisation using simulation models, and
reduce-recover-reuse programmes.
Improve energy usage efficiency using simulation tools,
deploying best practices, and upgrading equipment
and technology.
Adjust operations to reduce energy consumption by
redesigning the product basket and optimise the use of
installed capacity.
Optimise the cost of energy consumed through an
enterprise-wide fuel planning and scheduling mechanism.
Reduce carbon intensity by judicious selection of energy
sources and ramping up renewable energy use to offset
emissions from fossil fuels.
Across manufacturing sites, the
Company has taken up energy
optimisation and waste heat recovery
projects, co-firing biomass with
fossil fuel, opportunistic equipment
upgrades and flare gas recovery
to improve energy efficiency and
resource conservation. The O2C
manufacturing sites at Barabanki,
Dahej, Hazira and Hoshiarpur have
utilised 3.09 million GJ of bio-energy.
The Company has also achieved a
16% reduction in flaring at E&P and
O2C sites compared to FY 2020-21.
This year the volume of flared and
vented hydrocarbons was 1,32,491 MT.

Reliance has always been cognisant
of the impending climate change
and the effect it can have on the
future. In FY 2021-22, the Company
ensured that it will continue its
business-wise endeavours so that it
is on its track to become a Net Zero
organisation. It understands that
controlling the increase of global
temperatures by 1.50C above pre-
industrial levels is no longer a choice
but a necessity and Reliance has
been extremely proactive in taking
exemplary strides to decarbonise
its operation. The Reliance O2C
business is deploying several energy

Speaking at the International Climate
Summit 2021, Reliance Chairman and
Managing Director Shri Mukesh D.
Ambani expressed his optimism that
India can become the first country in
the world to produce Green Hydrogen
at less than US$ 1 per 1 kg in 1 decade
to meet the 1-1-1 target. India has
set the goal to reach 450 GW of
renewable energy capacity by 2030.
Reliance has committed to enable at
least 100 GW of solar energy by 2030,
leading to creation of a pan-India
network of kilowatt and megawatt-
scale solar energy producers who
can produce Green Hydrogen for
local consumption. This endeavour
by Reliance is aligned with its vision of
making India the first country globally
to make hydrogen affordable.
Reliance Jio has also been a
forerunner when it comes to
decarbonising its operation. Reliance
Jio Infocomm Limited (RJIL) has
received its highest ‘A-’ rating in CDP’s
2021 global rating of companies on
the way it manages its environmental
impacts. Jio is the only telecom and
digital services firm in India to receive
a leadership rating on CDP’s Global
Environment Impact. The Science
Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has
validated the corporate greenhouse
gas emissions reduction target(s)
submitted by RJIL. In FY 2021-22, the
Scope 1 emissions were 0.49 million
tonnes of CO2 and Scope 2 emissions
were 3.36 million tonnes of CO2. Jio
also calculates its Scope 3 emissions,
which accounted for 4.55 million
tonnes of CO2 in FY 2021-22. Jio has
also been able to reduce 51,574
tonnes of CO2 emission by procuring
power from renewable sources.
Reliance continues to meet
its growing energy demands
with sources that have minimal
environmental impacts. The total
renewable energy consumption
increased by 352% Y-o-Y. Hazira

Waste Management and
Circular Economy
Reliance is a firm believer in the 3Rs
of a circular economy – Reduce,
Reuse, Recycle. The Company
collects, sorts, and recycles plastics
to reduce dependency on new
and virgin resources to improve
circularity in plastics.
The Company strongly focuses
on responsible and efficient
resource consumption. The waste
management initiatives go far
beyond regulatory compliances to
strengthen the circular economy.
Some of the initiatives taken by the
Company include:
• Recron ® GreenGold™ Polyester
Staple Fibre (rPSF): Reliance recycles
over 2 billion PET bottles every year
to make Recron GreenGold Fibre.
Reliance has adopted an innovative
asset-light business model to
support entrepreneurs for setting
up toll manufacturing plant with
minimal market risk and augment
its recycling capacity.
• Green Polyolefin (gPO): Reliance
is developing green polyolefin
products, which are introduced
to the market as sustainable
packaging solutions for non-food
and non-pharma applications.
These products can be used in the
automotive segment, appliances,
paint pails, warehousing pellets, PE
films, HDPE blow moulding, HDPE
injection moulding and raffia bags.
• Waste to Road (W2R): Reliance has
developed an innovative product
for hard to recycle end-of-life
plastics called ReRoute™, which is
used in preparing roads.
• Reliance has collaborated with
India’s CSIR-National Chemical

Reliance's Health, Safety, and
Environment (HSE) Policy reflects the
importance of human value. The HSE
Policy is enabled by the Operating
Management System (OMS). The
OMS is a framework to deliver
and sustain conformance to the
essentials at all times and achieve
excellence in operating activities
and processes. The OMS provides a
systematic approach to consistently
reduce Health, Safety, Security, and
Environment (HSSE) risks in operating
activities. Risk management is at the
heart of the OMS and implementation
of a standardised Risk Management
process has brought enhanced risk
understanding down to the asset
facing personnel who understand
and manage operating risk on a
real time basis.
The governance of OMS is entrusted
to a fully equipped and well-qualified
HSE and Process Safety organisation
embedded within the operating
entities. A Safety & Operational Risk
function has been put in place at the
corporate level to bring in technical
expertise and to provide independent
assurance. This function facilitates
aligning the requirements of OMS
with global and national standards
such as OSHA, API, PESO, PNGRB,
OISD and NFPA.
The Company implemented a
three lines of defense approach to
have an independent view of OMS
implementation requirements in the
operating and maintenance activities.
The principles set out in OMS have
been imbibed in operations and are
helping to achieve safe, compliant
and reliable operations. The OMS
framework is based on the principle
of continual improvement. Systems
and processes have been put in
place to analyse incidents and
implement learnings to further
improve the operations from safety
and reliability point of view.

Diversity and Inclusion
Reliance’s philosophy of 'We Care'
has helped it draw talent who
not only bring expertise and
experience to the Company but
also have shared values. It takes
pride in its diverse workforce that
transcends nationalities, cultures,
genders, abilities, generations,
and experiences.
Reliance strives to build a conducive
environment where each employee
has the chance to participate,
contribute and grow while tapping
its rich and diversified human capital
to realise its aspirations and build a
long-term competitive edge. Diversity
and Inclusion (D&I) at Reliance is
incorporated into the Company’s
people strategy and focuses on three
key dimensions of gender, ability,
and generation.
The Reliance Group’s Diversity &
Inclusion (DEI) Charter was launched
by Ms Isha Ambani, affirming
Reliance’s unwavering commitment
to the values of Diversity, Equity and
Inclusion. The Company follows a
5E framework (Educate, Encourage,
Enable, Experience and Effectiveness)
to support a more inclusive workplace
for all. Group D&I efforts focused on
demonstrating “intended inclusivity”
and further strengthening the culture
of allyship through interventions such
as inclusive leadership program,
inspiring leader connects, created
various platforms for employees
to connect/share and learn and a
Group D&I Portal to showcase the
One Reliance Inclusion Story to all
and ensuring people can access
information relevant to them based
on their life stage and career stage.

Empowering Women at Reliance
through R-Aadya
Approach: R-Aadya is a gender inclusion programme which firmly believes
that each gender has a unique set of realities and ways of knowing and
understanding the world. The initiative focuses on gender specific needs
and challenges; and through a set of development interventions aims at
addressing the specific personal life stages and career stage needs of women
employees in partnership with all the stakeholders.
Impact: The programme reached out to nearly 5,000 employees resulting in a
allyship in the organisation with an increased awareness on inclusion, equality,
equity and diversity.
Talent Management
Onboarding the right talent and
investing in their growth is key to
Reliance’s people strategy. The
Company seeks out and develops
high-potential employees, providing
them with accelerated learning and
development opportunities.
Talent Development has always
remained a key enabler for achieving
business and talent outcomes. The
Company focuses on four key areas
to promote the culture of continuous
improvement and development
among the employees.
Four key focus areas of Reliance:
Building Future
Readiness and Talent
Sustainability
Building Leaders of
Tomorrow
Nurturing Young
Talent
Fostering Talent
in the Virtual
Ecosystem
Building future readiness
and talent sustainability
Reliance aspires to be a global
leader in the energy and materials
space, sustaining the leadership
position of O2C, and achieving Net
Zero. The Company operates in a
highly volatile and disruptive industry
scenario which requires sharp focus
on building capabilities across the
value chain. Therefore, upskilling
for future-readiness is a critical
business imperative.
Reliance’s key initiatives:
A.
Upskilling for new-age
technologies, power skills
and domain knowledge
During the year, the Company
launched several deep skilling
initiatives to develop and
strengthen digital and data
skills of its employees both at
an organisation level as well as
for specific focus groups. These
include training for specialised
skills to enhance Digital, Data
and Design Thinking capabilities
among employees.
The ‘Power Skills of Future’
initiative aims at developing
critical behavioural skills.
Immersive mini simulations on
ten future skills were launched
during the year, benefiting more
than 3,500 employees.
Reliance Retail has adopted a top-
down approach to demonstrate the
spirit of inclusion & diversity. As a
starting point, more than 200 senior
leaders have been sensitised on
‘Unconscious Biases’, which often
serve as impediments to building an
inclusive workplace. Reliance Retail
has implemented two significant
flagship programmes, ‘Jagriti’ and
‘Pragati’, to enable women employees
to grow to managerial roles at stores.
These programmes are designed
to empower women employees to
overcome their mental barriers and
inhibitions and generate belief in their
abilities to become managers and
successfully lead stores and teams.
Select women employees were put
through various training programmes
and promoted as store and
department managers to encourage
more women to take on leadership
roles and boost gender diversity.
Currently, there are over 370 stores led
by women managers, of which the
Grocery business has 204 women-
led stores, followed by Trends with 76.
There has been a perceptible and
definitive improvement in hygiene,
discipline and working conditions
at these stores.
Reliance Retail has gone a step
further. Its ‘Sahakari Bhandar’ has
employed close to 100 differently-
abled boys and girls under the
programme ‘Saksham’, transforming
their lives right from training to
employment and then engagement.
There are exclusive rewards &
recognition programmes designed
for them at the workplace as well
as cultural activities to ensure their
continued engagement.
'HerCircle'
A first-of-its-kind digital networking
platform launched by Smt. Nita
Ambani aims to accelerate women’s
empowerment and strengthen the
bonds of sisterhood globally. It offers
women from all over the world a
joyful and safe space for interaction,
engagement, collaboration and an
extended mutual support group.

Reliance also launched ‘Learning
Challenge’, an innovative
effort to develop critical power
skills. The challenge witnessed
participation from over
12,500 employees.
Based on business needs, 177
future domain skills have been
identified across the organisation,
64% of which are addressed
through relevant initiatives. Some
of the training initiatives include
IWCF and BOSIET HUET (E&P),
Techno-Commercial Expertise in
Procurement Risk Management,
Business Acumen, Export
Import management (P&C),
Value-Based Selling, Customer
Centricity and Business Risk
Management (Petchem).
Further, continuous learning is
at the centre of all the talent
development interventions at
Reliance Retail. The intent is to
inspire a pull-based learning
culture in which employees
are provided with multiple
opportunities and mediums
to learn. The learning strategy
has been defined as per the
role-based employee lifecycle
from new role readiness
programmes to next role
readiness programmes.
The objective for defining
a structured capability
development strategy is two-fold:
• Encourage people’s
productivity by creating
a sustainable learning
environment within
the organisation.
• Enable employees to learn the
knowledge and skill they need
to excel in their position using
digital tools and technology.
Healing while
learning through
powerful business
stories
Approach: The Petchem Academy
launched a monthly initiative 'Story
Sutra' to cover a business story by
employees. Till date, 7 episodes have
been successfully concluded with
participation by more than 1,000
employees. Every episode received
average participant rating of more
than 4.6 on the scale of 5.
Impact:
• Uplifting and changing
employees’ mood.
• Improving the information retention
up to 22 times more by weaving it
through stories instead of sharing
the facts alone.
• Improving decision making
of the employees.

Reliance is committed to talent management and investing in people. The Company recognises that it can play a
fundamental role in providing skill building opportunities to the young or unskilled workforce. Reliance takes immense
pride in developing skillsets relevant for India and Indians in evolving economic models. This is reflected in the 2.2+ Crore
person-hours of training imparted during the reporting year. The Company has a substantial workforce that is under the
age of 30 (representing 55.2%), and in the consumer facing businesses the Company also provides job opportunities to
the employees in the Non-Supervisory category (over 50% as shown in the graphs below). Nonetheless, there are factors
which contribute to separations and the Company recognises that these are inevitable and monitors them as an
important matrix for employee retention.
For RIL, the most common reasons for the voluntary separations have been identified as – diverse career advancement
opportunities available in the market, pursuing higher education, and relocating to areas closer to home.
In the digital services business voluntary separations was primarily driven by specific frontline non-supervisory roles
pertaining to sales and service.
Retail employs a young staff, typically in the twenties. With reopening of the economy, multiple opportunities opened
up for young employees, enabling them to explore new sectors and workforce models. Retail implemented significant
engagement programs to secure critical talent. Retail’s people practices have allowed it to get certified by the Great
Place to Work Institute as one of the Top 100 Best Workplaces in the country.

Reliance believes that innovation
and technology will pave the way
for its steady growth. The spirit of
innovation is central to Reliance's
value system. Innovation, a core
element of the organisation's DNA
enables the Company to create value
for all stakeholders. As a result, the
Company invests significantly in R&D
efforts. The Company always looks for
market opportunities and leverage its
intellectual capital to tap the same.
Be it inspiring the first generation of
retail investors in India, setting up the
world’s largest grassroots refinery,
Reliance’s disruptive innovations
fulfil the aspirations of millions of
Indians. Its continuous innovation
efforts include advancement in
biological science to tackle climate
change, deriving value out of waste to
promote circular economy, affordable
and clean energy initiatives, among
many others. As a consequence of
the Company's relentless efforts, it
has witnessed several breakthroughs
over the years. In FY 2021-22 a total of
123 patents were granted to Reliance
and 152 new patent applications filed
in various jurisdictions. Reliance has
been granted 1,323 patents till date.
Reliance has a robust internal
Intellectual Property (IP) governance
framework that ensures that these
patents are in close alignment with
the organisation’s business objectives.
The IP governance framework helps in
meeting all compliance requirements
in areas such as confidential
information management, third
party engagement management,
regulatory requirements across the
globe, among others.
Reliance has implemented various
digital initiatives to support its R&D
efforts. The R&D team has adopted
a benchmarked Intellectual Property
management system that provides
enterprise-wide end-to-end
workflow management, streamlining
and automating various portfolio
management processes. This system
also acts as a centralised repository
of various intellectual properties. The
Company's R&D has implemented
best-in-class Electronic Lab Notebook
(ELN) which is seamlessly integrated
with the Laboratory Information
Management System (LIMS). The ELN
application provides scientists with
a robust platform to capture and
store structured and unstructured
data as they conduct experiments
or execute laboratory procedures.
ELN user interface is flexible and can
be tailored by creating experiment
templates that allow the scientist to
easily enter information and directly
capture results from analytical
instruments and barcode systems for
sample lifecycle management.
Leveraging its Intellectual
Capital to Fight COVID-19
The outbreak of COVID-19 disrupted
every economy worldwide and tested
human vulnerabilities. Nevertheless,
governments and businesses left
no stone unturned to minimise the
impact of COVID-19 on health and
the economy. Reliance, a responsible
organisation, leveraged its intellectual
capital to contribute to the country's
fight against COVID-19.
Reliance’s scientists analysed more
than 1,000 genomes of the virus. The
knowledge base was used to develop
novel cost-effective diagnostic
kits called ‘R-Green’ and ‘R-Green
pro one’. These kits have received
ICMR approval and showed a high
degree of accuracy and specificity
during validation studies. Reliance
has also collaborated with IIIM-CSIR
(Jammu) to develop an RT-LAMP
Kit to facilitate the point-of-care
diagnosis of COVID-19.
The R&D team actively contributes
to the Company's technical wisdom
to facilitate innovation globally
by publishing research articles
on diagnostics and treatment.

Reliance has also developed
Microbial cell factories for
fermentation production of one of
the strongest biomaterials such
as Spider Silk for advanced fabric
and personal care application.
Collaboration with some of the
leading personal care brands is
ongoing for developing unique skin
and hair care formulations using this
recombinant spider silk.
The Company also leverages
advanced analytical science to fast-
track innovation in biology. 'Digital
tongue' is an algorithm for prediction
of taste of the proteins and proving
enzyme-system to bias taste of food
towards customer's requirement.
Several ML (Machine Language)
tools were developed and used in
computational biology platforms to
fabricate DNA to make novel products
from microbial cell factories.
The CRISPR platform demonstrated
genome alteration of algae
and cyanobacteria using
programmable nucleases. The
R&D team is working relentlessly
for developing molecular tools and
applications of the technology for
agricultural and synthetic biology
product development.
The team is applying this technology
for higher algal biomass and novel
product development in crops
that conventional methods cannot
produce. The Company aims to use
this path breaking technology to solve
significant challenges.
Coal which cannot be mined and, if
not redeemed for its value in the form
of methane production, would be a
waste of natural resources. Reliance's
Bio CBM process is targeted at
converting coal that cannot be mined
to methane, which will help improve
the country's energy security and
even help reduce GHG emissions.
Earlier, a benign process was used
to recover high-value metals,
vanadium and nickel, from petcoke
cinder, which is a leftover by the
product from entrained flow
gasifiers. Hydro process demands
a large quantity of acid or alkali for
leaching, and pyro process involves
very high temperature (> 1,700OC).
The R&D team has developed a
hybrid process where salt roasting
at low temperature, followed by
hydrometallurgical processing steps,
leads to the extraction of vanadium
and nickel at a significantly lower cost
than the conventional process. R&D
team is also pursuing various national
and international collaborative
projects to utilise CO2.
Chemical Recycling
of Multilayer
Packaging Material
Approach: The Polymer R&D team
developed a novel process using
in-house developed chemical
‘RESOLVE’ for separation of polymer
layers in multilayer packaging.
The process is a simple two-step
approach using ‘RELSOLVE’ separating
medium and it avoids the complex
multistep process involving various
solvents and antisolvents for the
recovery of the polymer layers.
Impact: The process helps in
recovering the polymer layer in pure
form without dissolution.
197
Circular Economy
The single use plastic in food
packaging and consumer goods
mostly ends up in landfills. Reliance
recognises the negative impact of
single use plastic on the environment.
Reliance is exploring sustainable
solutions to reuse plastic waste
to promote and adopt a circular
economy to tackle this menace.
The Company's R&D team and the
Sustainability Solutions team in the
Reliance-Petchem business have
launched ReRouteTM, the only product
of its kind in the market today that
can be used to make bituminous
concrete road surfacing using the
'dry mix' process.
The R&D team also developed net
bags and bag on roll applications
using biodegradable plastic. These
have been tested at Reliance Retail
stores. The materials showed excellent
properties required for flexible as
well as rigid packaging. Innovations
in biodegradable plastic technology
have also moved from bench scale to
pilot scale development.
Reliance's low temperature
continuous catalytic pyrolysis
technology can convert plastic waste
containing multi-layer film polymers
into stable oil. The technology does
not require any feed segregation
or clean up. Additionally, this novel
process gives a higher yield and
enhanced stability. The produced
stable oil can be readily processed in
a refinery or petrochemical units such
as FCC, Coker, Steam cracker, etc.
Reliance uses RCAT HTL technology to
produce biofuel using various organic
feedstock wastes to derive value
from the waste. Produced biofuel
can be utilised for heat and power
applications or as a transportation
fuel. Biofuel generated using the
technology has been successfully
tested in commercial engines,
and the technology is ready for
commercialisation. The technology
has the potential to significantly
contribute to the Company's Net Zero
goal by achieving a 25% blend in its
refining capacity.
Discarded PET based fabrics
have a detrimental impact on
the environment. As an essential
step towards a circular economy
and addressing the challenge of
discarded PET based fabrics, the
Company's R&D is targeting to
separate PET from mixed fabric
blends and convert it back to fibers
and into fabric. The R&D team has
also developed a process to recycle
waste tyres and is exploring ways to
convert waste recyclable polyester
material into valuable chemicals to
make polyurethane with improved
physical properties. The team
developed a bench process using
a Reliance proprietary solvent to
separate different layers of polymer.
Separate layers can be recycled as
per their different functionalities and
processability.
COVID-19 management published in
‘Biomedicine and Pharmacotherapy’
journal is recognised as top 100
research paper. The paper is listed
in WHO’s global repository. The
flow-virometry-based method
proposed by Reliance for robotics-
based high-throughput sample
testing has received accolades from
international communities, such as
the Future Virology journal.
PSA based oxygen concentrators
can produce oxygen with 93% (+- 3%)
purity. The unit is an excellent solution
during hospitalisation situation due
to COVID-19 to maintain the SpO2
level of a patient. Reliance R&D has
designed oxygen generator with a
purity of 90% to 95% with 5 LPM oxygen
leveraging its expertise in adsorption
technology. As adsorbents contribute
significantly to the cost of the PSA unit,
the Company’s R&D team is working
extensively for in-house adsorbent
development for oxygen PSA systems.
R&D Focus Areas
Bio-innovations
Reliance recognises that
advancements in biological science
could transform economies and
societies to tackle climate change
issue. At Reliance, the core biology
stream was integrated with digital
sciences and engineering for
196
development of Next-Gen tools and
eco-friendly technologies for a safe
and healthy planet.
Reliance's synthetic biology platform
aims for innovation-led growth
via hybridising competencies
developed in genetic engineering,
photosynthesis, omics, big-data
analytics and robotics. The platform
has helped improve productivity
outcomes for novel products and
create new business opportunities
in food, personal care and next-
generation biomaterials. Reliance
demonstrated robust and scalable
year-round outdoor algal cultivation
continuously for more than four years.
Reliance has successfully
demonstrated the application of
algae biomass for food and feed
application in a sustainable and
eco-friendly way. It has also initiated
work to commercialise super protein
powder from algae for various Indian
and global snacks, health drinks, and
texturised meat substitutes. Algal
biomass produced in a sustainable
way using seawater, sunlight, and
CO2 was harvested and processed
to develop a rich and appropriate
source of highly nutritious food and
feed ingredients. The ingredients
have successfully replaced the
prevalent and environmentally
regressive fish meal ingredient from
various applications.

Industry and Infrastructure
Reliance has its pulse on evolving
consumer needs, and it leverages
its intellectual capital to develop
novel solutions for industry and
infrastructure use. Following are
the key initiatives undertaken
by the R&D team:
• R&D team has developed a novel
functional emulsion based SBR
rubber. Reactive silica composite
prepared from this reactive product
has low rolling resistance and
excellent abrasion properties.
• Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) is generally
processed with a higher quantity of
external plasticisers to make it more
flexible and processable. However,
this flexible PVC polymer has poor
leaching properties. Reliance has
developed internally plasticised-
PVC (IP-PVC), which does not need
external plasticisers. Additionally,
IP-PVC does not lose its inherent
properties of flexibility and neither
does it leach any plasticiser into
the environment.
• R&D team has developed quick and
visible methods for identification
of industrial popcorn samples
from normal elastomer/polymer
samples, thereby, enhancing the
safety quotient of the elastomers or
polymer processes.
• R&D team has developed a
novel polymer, disentangled high
molecular weight polyethylene
(DPE), for lightweight helmets, cut-
resistant gloves.
• The chlorination of PVC produces
chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride
(CPVC). UV-light meditated
photochlorination of PVC to CPVC
is a common industrial practice
to produce CPVC resin. Reliance
has developed in-house visible
light mediated photochlorination
by replacing hazardous UV light.
The CPVC has improved resin
properties than the commercially
available option.
198
• R&D team has developed
an innovative, green, and
commercially viable process
to produce selective infrared
transmitting polymeric materials.
The NIR-transmitting material is
produced through solid-state
reactive processing and is cheaper,
non-toxic, air and moisture stable
with the added advantage
of the flexibility to mould into
the desired shape.
• R&D team is developing
technologies to make low-
cost carbon fibers using
various raw materials.
• There is a growing demand for
novel solutions that provide
protection to process and structural
components from corrosive
environment. R&D team has
developed thermoset composite
solutions that can be coated on
surfaces to provide adequate
protection from mild to the harsh
corrosive environments.
Affordable and Clean Energy
Reliance believes that climate
change presents an opportunity
to create a healthier, happier, and
sustainable planet. Affordable and
clean energy options will realise this
opportunity for humanity. The R&D
team has been operating a large
pilot facility near Jamnagar, where it
converts sunlight, CO2 and seawater
to renewable bio-crude. The ponds
have been operating continuously
without any failure for more than
four years. No other organisation in
the world has been able to cultivate
algae without crashes and significant
downtime. Reliance has developed
all the technology components which
will be instrumental in converting
CO2 to useful products to combat
climate change.
The Company has
also developed a
catalytic gasification
technology that can
convert a variety
of carbonaceous
feedstocks like
petcoke, coal,
biomass, etc. into
hydrogen and
syngas.
The novel catalytic process can
be used to convert challenging
feedstocks like high-ash Indian
coal and agricultural residue into
hydrogen or syngas. The Company
has successfully completed plant
testing of the technology with
different agricultural residues and
high-ash Indian coal, and 10 TPD plant
capacity is being worked out.
A high temperature-polymer
electrolyte membrane (HT-PEM) fuel
cell system has been built and is
presently being tested on simulated
Reliance-Jio towers. In coming years
renewable hydrogen will supply fuel
cells to produce in-situ hydrogen.
Oil to Chemicals (O2C)
Fossil fuels like gasoline and diesel
have a high carbon footprint
impacting the environment.
Having committed to a Net Zero
target by 2035, Reliance strives to
explore innovative options to adopt
sustainable practices. Reliance's
Multizone Catalytic Cracking (MCC)
is an in-house disruptive innovation
to generate chemical building blocks
for speciality materials from refinery
streams or whole crude instead of
fuels. The MCC is a vital technology
enabler that will help in Jamnagar's
O2C transformation. The 3KBPSD MCC
demo plant is in the advanced design
stage and has been constructed
for a demonstration before building
a full-scale commercial plant.

Biodegradation is the most
sustainable and economical way
of industrial effluent treatment, as
it leads to terminal conversion of
organic pollutants into microbial
biomass without leaving behind
toxic residues. Once established, it’s
a self-regenerating system. Tailor
made microbial consortia have been
developed, scaled, and implemented
for consistent chemical oxygen
demand (COD) remediation at the
polyester ETP plant at Patalganga
Manufacturing Division (PMD).
Similarly, a specialised microbial
consortium has been implemented
for COD reduction at Silvassa
Manufacturing Division (SMD) for
smooth and uninterrupted operations.
Climate action
R&D team has developed a mixed
oxide stable catalyst to convert
methanol and CO2 to a high-value
Di-methyl carbonate (DMC) product
that can be used as a solvent and
specialty chemical. The process
and the catalyst have been scaled
up to a pilot stage. The team has
also developed a sorbent based
circulating fluidised bed process
for concentrating CO2 from dilute
refinery and power plant flue
gases. The process is protected by
several patents.
Under RIL's flagship programme,
Algae to Oil, the R&D team has
developed a technology that utilises
abundant sunlight, waste CO2 and
sea water, to produce valuable
products. This process has a huge
potential to utilise atmospheric CO2
and convert it to a valuable green
crude oil, thus reducing the carbon
footprint to a significant extent and
combating climate change. RIL has
been operating a large pilot facility at
Gagwa near Jamnagar.
199
A unique technology has also been
developed to separate the aromatics
BTX component from olefinic MCC
gasoline and recycle the raffinate
stream to MCC riser for maximising
petrochemicals production.
Refining and Petrochemicals
Reliance has developed a high-
capacity sodium removal adsorbent
and a process to remove trace
amounts of sodium from disulphide
oil (DSO). This solution has been
commercialised at Jamnagar.
The treated DSO is being utilised in
Reliance's Refinery Off-Gas Cracker
(ROGC) unit replacing imported costly
additive, Dimethyl disulphide (DMDS).
A facility is also being developed at
the JMD to transport the product to
Reliance's other petrochemical sites
to use them in-stream crackers.
The R&D team has developed an
in-house RELOX (Reliance Oxidation)
catalyst for the purification of
nitrogen gas streams. The RELOX
catalyst purifies nitrogen gas
streams containing hydrocarbon

purification unit. The RELOX catalyst
is being supplied to the PET HMD
site, where production is in progress.
The Company aims to use RELOX
catalyst in all PET plants for nitrogen
gas purification.
Thermic fluids are predominantly
used in high temperature process
applications between 150O C and
400O C. For the first time globally, the
R&D team has developed an in-house
novel adsorbent and a process for
the online purification of thermic
fluids. The technology has been
commissioned at Dahej and Silvassa
plants and is under commissioning
in Hazira. Besides being superior
to conventional techniques like
distillation and alkali wash, this
technology is environmentally friendly
and cost effective.
The R&D team has developed
REL-ORCAT, a proprietary catalytic
technology, for olefins removal or
BI reduction from aromatics rich
hydrocarbon streams. The technology
with its superior catalyst has the
potential to replace conventionally
used clay-based catalyst. The team
has also developed an eco-friendly,
single-step adsorptive process to
purify recycling/waste MEG generated
in polyester plants. Further, to
maximise propylene yield, conversion
and reduce the coke make, the team
has developed a process for High
Active FCC catalyst.

Data Privacy and Security
Considering the wide range of digital
services Jio offers, it is important
for the company to provide a safe
and secure experience while using
its services. Jio always strives to
assure users that their personal
information is protected. To this end,
data privacy, data protection, and
information security form an intrinsic
part of Jio's service design across the
entire lifecycle.
Jio’s privacy and security programme
focuses on three key aspects of
embedding security in design,
effective governance and enabling
organisation-wide security
awareness. Jio tries to minimise the
chances of security incidents by
defining and implementing a highly
effective governance structure. It has
implemented a holistic information
security management programme
to protect its business, customers,
infrastructure, services, and internal
users from security threats. The
Company has policies (including
Data Privacy Policy), standards, and
processes in place.
Jio also conducts security risk
assessments to evaluate and identify
security flaws in services, products,
and technology. It has implemented
state-of-the-art security monitoring
infrastructure and effective incident
detection and management
processes. Suspected events are
analysed and verified for its impact
on assets and organisation. The
incident movement processes
define the criticality level for every
incident and are managed in line with
documented processes.
R-phish: A phishing
simulation platform
to measure user
awareness level
Phishing is a form of Cyber-attack
where Cybercriminals attempt to
trick individuals by disguising as
a trustworthy source. Although
organisations have tried numerous
ways to prevent phishing attacks,
there is no full-proof solution.
Therefore, employees become the
last line of defence.
Several organisations use Simulation
based anti-phishing exercises as
a method to educate employees.
However, it only assesses an
employee’s susceptibility to phishing
attacks which varies with every
new simulation.
To address this, Reliance has
developed a phishing simulation
platform ‘R-phish’ to conduct anti-
phishing exercises on a periodic basis
and to calculate the user awareness
index ‘Phishing Resistance Score
(PRS)’. PRS, which is a function of
multiple factors attributing to user
awareness initiatives, determines
user’s resistance to identifying a
phishing email.

Building the New India, One
Village at a Time
Through Reliance Foundation, the
Company is undertaking several
projects to enhance sustainable
livelihood opportunities. The
interventions focus on improving
critical development indicators such
as rural livelihoods, water, food and
nutrition, women empowerment
and access to knowledge resources.
Reliance has reached out to over
14.5 million people and empowered
50,600+ villages across India through
various initiatives under the Rural
Transformation Programme.
During FY 2021-22, over 121 lakh m3
of water harvesting capacity was
created through the construction
or upgradation of facilities such
as earthen or masonry dams and
check dams, agricultural ponds
and open wells. As a result, over
5,600 hectares of land is estimated
to get guaranteed irrigation for
at least two agricultural seasons.
Consequently, 364 villages now
have better access to drinking water.
Furthermore, Reliance is augmenting
rural households’ nutritious intake by
promoting Reliance Nutrition Gardens
(RNG), which are modest kitchen or
backyard gardens.
Reliance aims to augment the lives
of farmers, fishermen and women,
livestock owners, and rural youth
across the country by delivering
critical information, thereby
protecting livelihoods. Initiatives
such as interactive awareness,
broadcast dissemination services,
and troubleshooting programmes
assist the rural population living in
hinterlands to stay informed. The
initiative engages with over 1,000
knowledge partners, including
research institutes, universities,
specialist technical agencies,
and grassroots organisations.
Understandable and straightforward
information in vernacular languages
is circulated using numerous digital
platforms such as voice messages,
WhatsApp, Jiochat, and audio-
video conferencing.
Improving Livelihoods through Farmer
Producer Organisations (FPOs)
Reliance Foundation has undertaken
various initiatives to support, promote,
nurture, and incubate FPOs across
the country. The Company also
assists these farmers in developing
and strengthening market links to
enhance their incomes by enabling
them to form FPOs through the
Foundation. To date, Reliance
Foundation is engaged intensively
with over 100 FPOs. Around 63% of FPO
members reported an incremental
annual income of `40,000 or more in
the last year due to their association
with the Foundation. These FPOs have
a combined annual revenue of more
than `114 crore. Business activities
and promotion of FPOs in respective
locations have increased the source
of income and have improved the
economic situation of farmers by
giving them better bargaining power,
reducing the cost of production, and
providing linkages.

Assessment for Water Interventions
Reliance Foundation’s flagship
programme of Bharat India Jodo (BIJ)
has worked on water interventions
for the past ten years. This initiative
works with communities affected by
variable rainfall, repeated droughts,
dependency on rainfed agriculture,
severe soil degradation, migration
for manual work, lack of basic
facilities and uncertain earnings. BIJ’s
initiatives are broadly based on four
aspects: organising and capacitating
the community, participatory
budgeting, collaboration with Gram
Panchayats and the Government for
synergies and building community
capacities for water resources,
including critical support for water
harvesting and management.

together to build an irrigation canal
to ensure a more consistent supply
of water. Smt. Jagdamba Devi,
Sarpanch and 30 women and youth
volunteers from the village worked
relentlessly for 28 days to reconstruct
the 1.5 km long irrigation canal
through shramdaan to address water
scarcity between May and June 2021.
This inspiring display of community
participation has ensured ease of
irrigation, benefiting 85 households

Sustainable Supply Chain
Management
Reliance takes pride in diversified
portfolio of businesses spread across
Oil and Gas (O2C, E&P), Retail and
Digital. The Company relies heavily
on its excellence in supply chain
management aided by efficient
and robust systems and processes
to run seamless operations and
efficiently manage its vast pool of
suppliers and partners.
Managing a Vibrant
Supplier Network
To effectively deliver high -quality
projects with stringent timelines,
managing a substantial number of
suppliers located across the globe
is key to any company’s success.
Reliance ensures regular interface
and interactions with its partners
and vendors across various levels to
address this need. All procurement
and Contracting (P&C) activities for
Exploration and Production (E&P)
Division are primarily governed
by contracts signed with the
Government of India. E&P Project
Development and Operations require
highly specialised technical goods
and services. Reliance is one of the
very few vendors in the world that
can cater to these technological and
expertise requirements at exceedingly
high precision and satisfactory levels.
Through its sustained investment
in mega projects and operations,
Reliance has contributed to
developing India’s chemicals and
engineering supplier base. Supporting
and encouraging its suppliers to
indigenise, expand their capabilities
and increase their economic value
has always been the focus of the
Company. Reliance has procured
goods and services worth more
than `23,800 crore from indigenous
suppliers in FY 2021-22. The Company
ensures a high quality of service by
Reviving and Nurturing
India’s Art, Culture and
Heritage
India is a land of diverse cultures.
Reliance through the Foundation
endeavours to ensure that the youth
appreciate and connect with the
country’s rich heritage and arts.
Reliance Foundation defines ways
to protect and promote India’s
priceless heritage to sustain and
make art and culture relevant to the
younger generation. This rich art
and cultural ethos runs across all of
Reliance’s businesses.
Reliance collaborated with pioneering
designer Ritu Kumar and Reliance
Retail Ventures Limited (RRVL) to
charter a new, untried interpretation
of India’s crafts and textiles. It took the
country’s vibrant and diverse culture
beyond existing ideas in couture
and fashion. This was a novel step
to preserve, nurture and celebrate
India’s art and textiles heritage.
Employee Volunteering &
Social Change
Volunteering is a significant enabler
to express and share gratitude,
essential for developing resilience
in challenging times. At Reliance,
volunteering has been a key lever
for giving back to the communities.
Reliance Foundation continued with
the virtual mode of volunteering
due to the pandemic. In FY 2021-
22, volunteering was expanded
to newer areas of engagement
to address present and future
challenges. The programmes were
crafted and implemented to focus
on harnessing skills of the immense
people resources and their expertise
available within the organisation.
The objective of these programmes
has been the holistic development
of beneficiaries while concentrating
on thematic areas of education
and capacity building of social
organisations. These programmes are
congruent with the goals of Reliance
Group of Industries and the UN SDGs.

working with its contractors to ensure
that their employees are competent,
and that work is carried out in a
safe environment complying with
statutory requirements. Some of these
initiatives include :
• Standardisation of PPEs for
contract workers
• Fair & transparent practices for
statutory compliance
• Contractor performance
evaluation including Safety and
Environment Performance
• Trade & Safety test for all
contract workers
• Focus on safety practices
and records during new
contractor registration
• Weekly visit of safety ambassadors
to plants for improvement of
contract worker safety
• Training for field personnel on safe
handling of hazardous chemicals
Reliance also ensured that COVID-19
vaccinations were made available
for the Company’s suppliers and
their employees.
Sustainable Supply Chain
Processes and Supplier
Engagement
Reliance has developed systems and
processes with years of expertise
and experience to build and manage
a sustainable and effective supply
chain. Ongoing collaborations
and partnerships have helped the
Company maintain a long-term
productive relationship with suppliers.

The sustainable sourcing ethos of
Reliance focuses on eight parameters
Green packaging
Environment
protection
Make in India &
developing India’s
engineering talent
Supplier
collaboration
Digital enabling
interaction with
suppliers
Contract worker care
Community support
Regeneration/Safe
disposal
Green packaging involves using
recycled plastic or PET flakes,
recycling plastic / wooden pallets
used for domestic market, and
optimising bag specifications
to reduce material usage and
palletisation to ensure safe handling
and faster turnaround. The packaging
design approach is based on the
core principles of a sustainable
circular economy of reduce,
reuse, and recycle.
Environment protection is ensured
by the co-development of
environmentally conscious and
safe products with suppliers, like
the development of Silicon spray
using environment-friendly solvents
during FY 2021-22. The Company also
focused on reducing paper use and
its physical transfer through end-to-
end digital ‘Procurement to Pay Cycle’
processes and preference for digital
invoices over paper invoices. Reliance
received over 90% of the invoices
from suppliers in digital format. The
procurement decisions are also
based on the energy efficiency
of the products.
Reliance encouraged the
development of India’s engineering
talent by replacing imported RE13 Spin
Finish oil for PFY with indigenously
developed Spin finish oil components
developed in the Company’s
technical laboratories. Reliance uses
Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI)
for select categories, long-term
agreements with packaging suppliers,
and conducts joint programmes
with vendors and reduce system
costs to ensure sustainable supplier
collaborations.
Reliance has developed a query
management system for supplier
queries, vendor self-service facility
for transaction-related queries,
development of P&C helpdesk
and ‘Chatbot’ for online, real-
time feedback to suppliers. The
Company has shown care towards
its contract workers with multiple
safety performance evaluations and
defining PPE norms by work type. It
ensures 100% compliance to the laws
and regulations, including verification
of contract worker wages payment.
Reliance extends support to the
local community by encouraging its
suppliers to source talent from 'near
plant' communities. The Company
is conscious about the regeneration
and safe disposal of its waste. The
total sale of e-waste including used
oil and batteries, catalyst and plastic
waste to the vendors is authorised by
the Central and State Pollution Control
Boards (CPCB/SPCB) for efficient and
environmentally friendly recycling
and disposal of that waste. Waste
materials like wood, paper, metal, etc.,
are also recovered or recycled.

Transparent and Robust
Process for Identification and
Evaluation of Suppliers
Reliance follows an in-depth and
robust evaluation process for its
suppliers that involves sending out
a global notice inviting Expression
of Interest (EOI) that publishes the
requirements of all major goods and
services. The EOIs received are then
evaluated based on parameters
such as technical competence, past
experiences, HSE performance, quality
system and financial strength for
shortlisting bidders in response to the
issuance of Request for Proposal.
The Supplier Code of Conduct,
developed by Reliance, forms the
basis of the Company’s relationship
with its suppliers. Reliance’s belief
that its suppliers need to comply
with Labour and Human rights,
Health and Safety, Environmental
Protection, Ethical Conduct, Business
Integrity and Confidentiality Laws and
Standards is reflected in its Supplier
Code of Conduct. The Company
facilitates a range of measures to
comply with the prevalent Anti-
Money Laundering, Anti-Bribery and
Prevention of Corruption Act and
the Supplier Code of Conduct. The
compliance function and Ethics and
Compliance Task Force (ECTF) have
built a strong capability to undertake
regulatory compliance checks,
counterparty checks, real-time
screening of any suspicious internal
transactions, and investigations
of reported incidents to curb any
unlawful behaviour by its suppliers.
All suppliers are compliant with the
Reliance Group Business Partner
Code of Conduct (BPCOC). Reliance
strictly adheres to all the procurement
processes for the contracts signed
with the Government of India.
Third-party vendors are identified
and evaluated based on their track
record and capability of meeting
the Company standards. Reliance
is moving towards a per-piece/per-
pallet based contract from the cost-
plus contracts to enable a significant
cost advantage. The operational
performance of these vendors,
once onboarded, are continuously
measured and monitored against
defined parameters, and corrective
actions demanded where necessary.
Supplier engagement is an overly
critical factor for Reliance, and
the same is ensured during the
procurement process through regular
meetings / communication. Suppliers
and Reliance work as Partners to
achieve the laid down objectives
of the Company.
Nurturing Digital
Ecosystems
JioGenNext
JioGenNext began with the
leadership's vision of encouraging
startups. They saw early on that
startups would increasingly
become a major powerhouse of
talent, technology, and creativity
for the country. JioGenNext has
been essential in catalysing the
Indian entrepreneurial ecosystem
and enabling various businesses
to attain scale by launching them
in the Reliance ecosystem since
its debut in 2014. Startup Reseau
recognised it at the NEXTT Summit
2021 as one of the top five corporate
innovation and corporate venture
capital programmes in India. It has
conducted more than 16 cohorts
supporting 170 startups who have
collectively raised over `2,600 crore in
early-stage venture capital.
In FY 2021-22, JioGenNext
announced its Market Access
Programme (MAP ‘21) with 11 high-
potential businesses. MAP focuses
on two areas of advice and
opportunity for startups:
1.
Reliance / Jio access: To
connect founders in the
Reliance / Jio ecosystem. Create
and accelerate interactions
between startups and internal
stakeholders to identify
partnerships and possibilities that
can help them expand quickly.
It’s a one of a kind ‘customer-as-
mentor’ approach.
2. Business Mentorship: To
assist businesses on product
innovation, go-to-market
strategy, recruiting, marketing,
funding, and product-market
fit, all of which are related to
a startup's overall business
success. The programme is
tailored to each startup's specific
needs and goals.
MAP currently operates on an annual
cohort model, with entrepreneurs
being accepted on a rolling basis
throughout the year. JioGenNext
intends to use MAP to increase its
value addition to entrepreneurs and
develop win-win collaborations in the
startup ecosystem.

Delivering Superior
Customer Experience
Reliance is at the forefront of
applying technology to automate
sales processes for improved
customer experience and cost
and time savings. Reliance was
the first to introduce a web-based
sales operations system that allows
customers to check their accounts
around the clock. The Company
continues to develop its systems
and processes. As a result, it has
introduced and intends to roll out
additional features and flexibilities
in the system to give customers
easy access and convenience of
operation. Reliance complies with
all contractual commitments and
legal and legislative requirements
related to sales.
Reliance is improving the user
experience across its businesses
through digitisation. Measures such
as collaborative planning using
Client Relationship Management
(CRM) systems to manage demand
successfully and mobile applications
for approvals, account management,
and customer visits have aided
in providing customers with
service excellence .
As of March 31, 2022, RIL received
1,191 customer complaints, of which
1,125 were successfully resolved.
Subsequently, most of the remaining
complaints have been resolved .
Reliance Jewels conducts ‘Mystery
Audits’ to measure customer
satisfaction. This includes audits on
critical parameters that contribute
to the overall customer experience,
such as cover employee appearance,
ease of store navigation from the
customer perspective, ability of
employees to recommend and pitch
products and handle objections. In
addition to obtaining feedback from
converted customers, Reliance also
collects non-converted customer
feedback through an online feedback
form, which helps the Company
understand customer preference and
satisfaction levels.
Customer Satisfaction
For Reliance, customers are the key
to a sustainable future. Winning their
trust drives the Company to surpass
consumer expectations continuously.
Across all its businesses, Reliance
aims to offer customers a diverse
selection of options, an exceptional
value proposition, high standards of
quality, and an unrivalled experience.
The Company continued to provide
its millions of customers with high-
quality service across all business
verticals throughout the challenges of
the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.
Customer Satisfaction
Surveys
Understanding consumer demands
and responding to market realities
are critical to the success of
Reliance’s businesses. Reliance
engages customers through various
channels to understand their needs
and obtain crucial insights into
their requirements, interests, and
preferences. The Company is always
agile and aware of the changing
market environment, which allows it to
build services that are market-driven.
Reliance’s customer engagement
initiatives include direct feedback
through one-on-one meetings/
visits, calls to dedicated operation
desk lines, surveys and meets
that are arranged regularly. This
allows effective customer contact,
ensuring compliance with corporate
norms and standards, identifying
process improvement opportunities,
and providing solutions to any
unique concerns encountered
by the customer.

Redefining customer centricity at
Reliance Retail
Reliance Retail reorganised its
customer service Standard Operating
Process (SOP) across functions and
formats to deliver an enhanced
customer experience at the store
and online. The focus is to simplify
systems and processes, and train
and empower people to deliver
a faster resolution to customers.
Human resources and scheduling
restructuring for its Customer Action
Centre have helped the Company
respond to calls and emails from
customers. The abandoned call
percentage was always kept at less
than one per cent, and no pendency
to customers reaching out on email
and social channels. Reliance Retail
created a specialised team whose
primary responsibility is to track
orders placed online by customers
and communicate with them to
ensure that they are delivered and
installed as efficiently as possible.
The Company launched a Remote
Technical Support (RTS) desk that
eliminates the need for repair
engineers to travel to customer
locations. Troubleshooting is done
over the phone with videos and
images, providing customers quick
resolution to technical issues. RTS also
helped pull off faster replacements,
which reduced complaints by 20%.
The Company empowered customers
with various self-service initiatives
including deploying cancellation
feature on the app. It reduced
complaints related to cancellations
and refunds by 15%. As a result of
supply bottlenecks during the year,
imported spares were not readily
available, adversely impacting
repair service levels. Reliance Retail
improved the repair Service Level
Agreements (SLA) to 82% closure
within three days and 94% closure
within seven days by working
closely with brands to prioritise ResQ
customer repairs, increasing spares
inventory levels and enabling quick
supply to service centres.
Elevating Customer
Experience at
Reliance Fashion
and Lifestyle
To enhance customer experience at
Reliance Fashion & Lifestyle offline
outlets, the Company launched
various targeted initiatives. It
launched Project CASH at Reliance
Trends stores. The project focused
on rigorous store team capability
building and assessment for a
consistent brand experience,
improved product options,
coordinated visibility to aid customer
decision-making and upgraded the
cashiering process to smoothen
the point-of-sale experience. The
aim was to ensure that each client
was well-served. The results were
reflected in an improved Net Promoter
Score (NPS) of 21% absolute for Trends
Small-town and 12% absolute for
Trends, with a 63% increase in NPS
feedback response rate.
Within the online store, an
improvement in NPS of 7% was
achieved through the launch of
several customer focused initiatives
and process improvements, such as
aggressive promised delivery dates
and adherence to the same, supply
chain speed improvements across
order journey by an average of one
day, improved refund speed with
99% returns getting repaid at the
door. To further enhance customer
service on the platform, the Company
has focused on reducing queue
waiting time and increasing first-time
solution percentage, improving NPS of
customer interactions.
Netmeds: Standing
by customers
through COVID-19
Netmeds is an online pharmacy
digital commerce platform managed
and operated by Reliance Retail.
Netmeds spread COVID-19 awareness
through its app and through
awareness camps at many Netmeds
stores. Netmeds also created a new
COVID-19 essentials category, with a
wide assortment of products, in the
app for customers to place orders
easily. The Fulfillment Centre team
went beyond its call of duty to deliver
essential products to customers in
times of crisis and fear when courier
partners were not available to make
the deliveries. Customers whole-
heartedly appreciated this act of
humanity and kindness, as evident
through their testimonials. Netmeds
has ensured exceptional customer
delight led by its B2B sales force team
that personally delivered medicines
to pharmacies on multiple occasions,
enabling timely availability to
customers. Netmeds also supported
its group companies by on-time
delivery of Remdesivir, PPE kits and
other COVID related medicines.
Data Privacy and Security
Reliance places tremendous
importance on security and privacy
in each of its businesses. Within Jio's
privacy and security programme, the
focus is on three essential aspects:
embedding security in design,
effective governance, and allowing
organisation-wide security awareness.
A highly efficient governance
architecture with optimised
processes ensures asset protection,
customer data privacy, and fewer
security breaches.

Introduction
We, KPMG Assurance and Consulting Services
LLP (‘KPMG’), have been engaged for the
purpose of providing assurance on the
selected sustainability disclosures presented
in the Integrated Annual Report (‘the Report’)
of Reliance Industries Limited (‘RIL’ or ‘the
Company’) for FY 2021-22. Our responsibility was
to provide assurance on the selected aspects of
the Report as described under ‘boundary, scope
and limitations’ below.
Reporting Criteria
RIL has developed its report based on the
applicable accounting standards and has
incorporated the principles of the International
Integrated Reporting Framework () published
by the International Integrated Reporting
Council (IIRC), into the Management Discussion
and Analysis section of the Report.
The Company’s sustainability performance
reporting criteria has been derived from the
GRI Standards of the Global Reporting Initiative,
United Nation’s Sustainable Development
Goals (UN SDGs), the American Petroleum
Institute / The International Petroleum Industry
Environmental Conservation Association’s (API/
IPIECA) Sustainability Reporting Guidelines, and
the Business Responsibility Reporting (BRR)
framework of the Securities and Exchange Board
of India (SEBI).
RIL has also referred to new and emerging
frameworks such as the Task Force on Climate-
related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), and the
WEF-IBC metrics.
Assurance Standards
We conducted the assurance in
accordance with:
• The requirements of the International
Federation of Accountants’ (IFAC)
International Standard on Assurance
Engagements (ISAE) 3000 (Revised)
216
Assurance Engagements Other than Audits or
Reviews of Historical Financial Information.
- Under this standard, we have reviewed
the information presented in the Report
against the characteristics of relevance,
completeness, reliability, neutrality and
understandability.
-
Limited assurance consists primarily of
enquiries and analytical procedures.
The procedures performed in a limited
assurance engagement vary in nature
and timing and are less in extent than for a
reasonable assurance engagement.
- Reasonable assurance is a high level of
assurance, but it is not a guarantee that it
will always detect a material misstatement
when it exists.
Boundary, Scope, and Limitations
• The boundary of our assurance covers
the sustainability performance of RIL’s
manufacturing divisions, refineries,
exploration and production in India;

Assurance Procedures
Our assurance process involved performing
procedures to obtain evidence about the
reliability of specified performance data.
The nature, timing and extent of procedures
selected depend on our judgment, including
the assessment of the risks of material
misstatement of the selected sustainability
performance data whether due to fraud or
error. In making those risk assessments, we
have considered internal controls relevant to
the preparation of the Report in order to design
assurance procedures that are appropriate
in the circumstances. Our assurance
procedures also included:
• Assessment of RIL’s reporting procedures
regarding their consistency with the
application of the GRI Standards.
• Evaluating the appropriateness of the
quantification methods used to arrive
at the sustainability performance
presented in the Report.
• Verification of systems and procedures
used for quantification, collation, and
analysis of sustainability performance data
included in the Report.
• Understanding the appropriateness
of various assumptions, estimations
and materiality thresholds used by RIL
for data analysis.
• Discussions with the personnel at
the corporate and business unit level
responsible for the performance data
presented in the Report.
• Discussion on sustainability aspects with
senior executives at the different plant
locations and at the corporate office to
understand the risks and opportunities
from sustainability context and the strategy
RIL is following.
• Assessment of data reliability and accuracy.
• For the data and information related to
RIL’s financial performance, we have relied
on its audited financial statements for
the FY 2021-22.
• Review of the Company’s Business
Responsibility Report section to check
through virtual conference meetings
with manufacturing units at Barabanki,
Dahej, Hazira, Hoshiarpur, Jamnagar DTA,
Jamnagar SEZ, Jamnagar C2 complex,
Jamnagar Pet Coke Gasification unit,
Nagothane, Naroda, Patalganga, Silvassa,

retail division facilities under RBML, Terminal
Operations and LPG; On-shore and Off-
shore exploration and production facilities
at Gadimoga and Shahdol; Reliance Jio
Infocomm Limited; Reliance Retail Ventures
Limited; and Corporate office at Reliance
Corporate Park, Navi Mumbai.
Appropriate documentary evidence was
reviewed to support our conclusions on
the information and data verified. Where
such documentary evidence could not be
shared with us due to sensitive nature of the
information, our team verified the same during
the site interactions using screen sharing tools.
Independence
The assurance was conducted by a
multidisciplinary team including professionals
with suitable skills and experience in auditing
environmental, social and economic
information in line with the requirements
of ISAE 3000 (Revised) standard. Our work
was performed in compliance with the
requirements of the IFAC Code of Ethics for
Professional Accountants, which requires,
among other requirements, that the members
of the assurance team (practitioners) be
independent of the assurance client, in
relation to the scope of this assurance
engagement, including not being involved
in writing the Report. The Code also includes
detailed requirements for practitioners
regarding integrity, objectivity, professional
competence and due care, confidentiality and
professional behaviour. KPMG has systems and
processes in place to monitor compliance with
the Code and to prevent conflicts regarding
independence. The firm applies ISQC 1 and
the practitioner complies with the applicable
independence and other ethical requirements
of the IESBA code.
Responsibilities
RIL is responsible for developing the Report
contents. RIL is also responsible for identification
of material sustainability topics, establishing
and maintaining appropriate performance
management and internal control systems, and
derivation of performance data reported. This
statement is made solely to the Management
of RIL in accordance with the terms of our
engagement and as per scope of assurance.
Our work has been undertaken so that we
might state to RIL those matters for which we
have been engaged to state in this statement
and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, we do not accept or assume
responsibility to anyone other than RIL for our
work, for this report, or for the conclusions
expressed in this independent assurance
statement. The assurance engagement is
based on the assumption that the data and
information provided to us is complete and
true. We expressly disclaim any liability or
co-responsibility for any decision a person or
entity would make based on this assurance
statement. By reading this assurance statement,
stakeholders acknowledge and agree to the
limitations and disclaimers mentioned above.
Conclusions
Based on our assurance procedures and in line
with the boundary, scope and limitations, we
conclude that, for the selected performance
data subjected to limited assurance procedures
as defined under the scope of assurance,
nothing has come to our attention that causes
us not to believe that these are appropriately
stated in all material respects, in line with the
reporting principles of the GRI Standards. The
sustainability performance data that have been
subjected to reasonable assurance procedures
as defined under the scope of assurance, are
fairly stated in all material respects and are in
alignment with the GRI standards.

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, awards and recognitions,
governance processes and an
entrepreneurial performance focussed
work environment. Additionally, our
customers have been 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
inter-relationship among the Board of
Directors, Board Committees, Finance,
Compliance & Assurance teams,
Auditors and the Senior Management.
Our employee satisfaction is reflected
in the stability of senior management,
ability to attract talent 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, Corporate Governance is
all about maintaining a valuable
relationship and trust with all the
stakeholders. We consider stakeholders
as partners in our success and
remain committed to maximising
stakeholders’ value, be it Customers,
Local Communities, Employees,
Suppliers & Distributors, Trade Unions,
NGOs, Investors & Shareholders and
Government & Regulatory Authorities.
This approach to value creation
emanates from RIL’s 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 viz. Customer Value,
Ownership Mindset, Respect, Integrity,
One Team and Excellence.
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 the Listing
Regulations, 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 how 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
for over four eventful decades from
Initial Public Offer (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 standalone basis, we have
grown by a Compounded Annual
Growth Rate (CAGR) of Revenues
22.2%, Earnings Before Interest, Tax,
Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA)
before exceptional items 23.1% and Net
Profit before exceptional items 24.1%.
The financial markets have endorsed
our sterling performance and the
market capitalisation has increased by
CAGR of 31.6% 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 33 Lakh.
For decades, RIL is growing in step
with India’s industrial and economic
development. The Company has
helped transform the Indian economy
with large projects and world-class
execution. The quest to help elevate
India’s quality of life continues and
is unabated. It emanates from a
fundamental article of faith: ‘What is
good for India is good for Reliance’.
We believe, Corporate Governance is
not just a destination, but a journey to
constantly improve sustainable value
creation. It is an upward-moving target
that we collectively strive towards
achieving. Our multiple initiatives
towards maintaining the highest
standards of governance are detailed
in this Report.
Corporate Governance
Structure, Policies and
Practices
The Company has put in place an
internal multi-tier governance structure
with defined roles and responsibilities
of every constituent of the system.
The Company’s shareholders appoint
the Board of Directors, which in turn
govern the Company. The Board has
established various Committees to
discharge its responsibilities in an

functioning of the Company, the CMD is
assisted by four Executive Directors and
a core group of senior level executives.

reasonably anticipated, that could
impair or impact his / her ability to
discharge his / her duties with an
objective independent judgement and
without any external influence.
In the opinion of the Board, the
Independent Directors fulfil the
conditions specified in the Listing
Regulations and are independent of
the management.
Selection and Appointment of

Considering the requirement of skill
sets on the Board, eminent persons

Regulations, appointment of one
of the Independent Directors of the
Company on the Board of material
subsidiaries was applicable only
to JPL, RJIL and RRL. Prior to RRL and
RJIL becoming material subsidiaries
of the Company, Prof. Dipak C. Jain
was appointed as an Independent
Director on the Board of RRL and
Prof. Dipak C. Jain, Shri Adil Zainulbhai
and Dr. Shumeet Banerji were
appointed as Independent Directors
on the Board of RJIL and they are
continuing as such. The Board of JPL
has appointed Shri Raminder Singh
Gujral and Dr. Shumeet Banerji as

Governance Prof. Dipak C. Jain and
Shri Adil Zainulbhai are also on the
Board of RRVL, an unlisted subsidiary,
which is statutorily not required to
appoint on its Board an Independent
Director of the Company. For better
administration and governance,
key subsidiary companies have
voluntarily appointed Independent
Directors on their respective Boards.
The composition and effectiveness
of Boards of subsidiaries is reviewed
by the Company periodically.
Governance framework is also
ensured through appointment of
Managerial Personnel and Secretarial
Auditor. A robust compliance
management system covering all the
subsidiaries is also in place. Guidance
is provided to subsidiaries on
matters relating to conduct of Board
meeting, training and familiarisation
programmes for the Independent
Directors on the Board of subsidiaries.
The Company is in compliance
with Regulation 24A of the Listing
Regulations. The Company’s material
subsidiaries undergo Secretarial Audit.
Copy of Secretarial Audit Reports of
JPL, RJIL, RRL and RRVL forms part of this
report. The Secretarial Audit Report of
these material subsidiaries does not
contain any qualification, reservation,
adverse remark or disclaimer.
The Company monitors performance of subsidiary companies, inter alia, by the
following means:
• Financial statements, in particular investments made by subsidiary
companies, are reviewed quarterly by the Company’s Audit Committee.
• Minutes of Board meetings of subsidiary companies are placed before the
Company’s Board regularly.
• A statement containing all significant transactions and arrangements entered
into by subsidiary companies is placed before the Company’s Board.

the Price risk.
Strategic decisions regarding
the timing and the usage of
derivatives instruments such
as Swaps / Futures / Options,
are taken based on various
factors including market
conditions, physical inventories,
macro-economic situation. These
decisions and execution are done
in line with the Board approved

Details of non-compliance
by the Company, penalties,
strictures imposed on the
Company by stock exchange
or SEBI, or any statutory
authority, on any matter
related to capital markets,
during the last three years
(i)
The Securities and Exchange
Board of India (SEBI), on August 8,
2014 had passed an adjudication
order on a show cause notice
issued to the Company for alleged
non-disclosure of the diluted
Earnings per Share in the quarterly
financial results for the quarters
ended June 2007, September
2007, December 2007, March 2008,
June 2008 and September 2008
and imposed monetary penalty
of `13 crore. On an appeal by the
Company, the Hon’ble Securities
Appellate Tribunal set aside SEBI’s
order and remanded the matter
for fresh consideration by SEBI. SEBI
issued a fresh show cause notice
dated April 5, 2016 in the matter
alleging incorrect disclosure of
the diluted Earnings per Share.
The Company filed a reply to the
show cause notice and attended
the personal hearing on July
26, 2016. SEBI appointed new
Adjudicating Officer (AO). The last
hearing before the AO was held on
November 22, 2018. Further details
sought by AO were provided
in December 2018. After more
than 2 years, the AO sent a letter
dated March 19, 2021 granting an
opportunity to the Company to
make additional submissions and
personal hearing in the matter.
The Company filed additional
submissions in the matter. The AO,
vide his order dated September
20, 2021, disposed off the show
cause notice without levy
of any penalty.
(ii)
On December 16, 2010, SEBI issued
a show cause notice (SCN), inter
alia to the Company (RIL) in
connection with the trades by RIL
in the stock exchanges in 2007 in
the shares of Reliance Petroleum
Limited, then a subsidiary of RIL.
Hearings were held before the
Whole Time Member (WTM) of
SEBI in respect of the SCN. By
an order dated March 24, 2017,
the WTM passed the directions:
(i) prohibiting inter alia RIL from
dealing in equity derivatives in
the ‘Futures & Options’ segment
of stock exchanges, directly or
indirectly, for a period of one year
from the date of the order; and (ii)
to RIL to disgorge an amount of
` 447.27 crore along with interest
at the rate of 12% per annum
from November 29, 2007 till the
date of payment. In May 2017,
RIL and the other noticees filed
an appeal before the Securities
Appellate Tribunal (SAT) against
this order. SAT, by a majority order
(2:1), dismissed the appeal on
November 5, 2020 and directed
RIL to pay the disgorged amount
within sixty days from the date
of the order. The appeal of RIL
and other noticees has been
admitted by the Hon’ble Supreme
Court of India. By its order dated
December 17, 2020, the Hon’ble
Supreme Court of India directed
RIL to deposit ` 250 crore in the
Investors’ Protection Fund, subject
to the final result of the appeal
and stayed the recovery of the
balance, inclusive of interest,
pending the appeal. RIL has
complied with the order dated
December 17, 2020 of the Hon’ble
Supreme Court of India.
In the very same matter, on
November 21, 2017, SEBI issued
show cause notice, inter alia, to RIL,
asking RIL to show cause as to why
inquiry should not be held in terms
of SEBI (Procedure for Holding
Inquiry and Imposing Penalties
by Adjudicating Officer) Rules,
1995 and penalty not be imposed
under the provisions of the
Securities and Exchange Board of
India Act, 1992. The Adjudicating
Officer of SEBI passed an order on
January 1, 2021 imposing a penalty
of ` 25 crore on RIL. RIL has paid
the penalty under protest and
has filed an appeal before the SAT
against this order.
(iii) The Company had issued
debentures with convertible
warrants in the year 1994 and
allotted equity shares against the
warrants in the year 2000. In this
matter, SEBI had filed a complaint
on July 16, 2020, inter alia against
the Company before the Special
Court, Mumbai, for taking
cognizance of alleged offences
under Regulations 3, 5 and 6 of
SEBI (Prohibition of Fraudulent and
Unfair Trade Practices relating to
Securities Market) Regulations,
1995 and section 77(2) and
section 77A of Companies Act,
1956. The Special Court, Mumbai,
vide order dated September 30,
2020, dismissed SEBI’s complaint
as barred by limitation. Against
the said order of the Special
Court, SEBI has filed a revision
application before the Hon’ble
High Court, Bombay and the
same is pending.
(iv) On December 22, 2021, SEBI
issued a show cause notice
inter alia to RIL asking it to show
cause as to why inquiry should
not be held against it in terms
of SEBI (Procedure for Holding
Inquiry and Imposing Penalties
by Adjudicating Officer) Rules,
1995 read with Section 15I of
the Securities and Exchange
Board of India Act, 1992 for
alleged violation of Principle No.

established, will make RIL liable
for monetary penalty (of not
less than `1 lakh and which may
extend to maximum of `1 crore)

ensure that correct facts are reflected in secretarial records. We believe that the process and practices, we followed

of 25.1% Y-o-Y) and an all-time-high

VI. Solving for Rural India’s
Toughest Challenges – An
Impact Assessment Study
of Water Based Initiatives
undertaken by Reliance

Impact Assessment Agency
– Kantar Public
1.
2. Project Background
Reliance Foundation’s Bharat
India Jodo RF BIJ initiative,
flagship programme of Rural
Transformation (RT) has been
working on transforming the lives
and livelihoods of people in rural
areas through a holistic, self-
reliant, and sustainable model. RF
BIJ’s water focused initiatives are
broadly based on four aspects
which include organizing and
capacitating the community,
participatory water budgeting,
collaboration with Gram
Panchayats, and government
for synergies/capacitating
community in water resources,
management and critical
support for water harvesting and
water management.
To assess the impact of RF BIJ
water initiatives in securing
lives and livelihoods of
rural communities.
4. Key Findings
a. Overall Impact
i.
ii.
iii.
The study revealed that the
water initiatives not only
impacted the beneficiaries
with its intended outcomes,
but also had a trickle-down
effect that contributed to
holistic development in the
intervention villages.
Ensuring Water Security
- The water capacity
created through the project
resulted in improved water
availability for agriculture
and household needs. This
increase in water capacity
for agriculture resulted in
de-risking of rainfed nature
of agriculture. The increase in
water availability for domestic
purposes resulted in around
89% intervention village
residents having the primary
source of water within 200 M
from their homes. 84% of the
farmers reported not having
faced any water scarcity in
the recent years.
Augmenting Sustainable
Livelihoods - 79% of farmers
reported an increase in area
under assured irrigation. 85%
farmers in the intervention
villages reported cultivating
crops two or more times a
year. In addition, more than
half of the farmers cultivated
three or more types of
crops annually resulting in
diversification of crops.
b.
Household Level Impact
i.
Increase in Income - The
income in the intervention
villages was higher
compared to control villages.
Average annual gross income
from agriculture was found
to be ` 1.08 lakhs; which was
three times the income of the
control group respondents.
285
Board’s ReportIntegrated Annual Report 2021-22Reliance Industries Limited
ii.
iii.
Reduced Distress Migration
- With increased income,
outbound migration in
intervention villages was less
than half (12%) of what was
observed in control villages.
Reduced drudgery and
Improved Health Conditions
- 75% of the respondents
reported significant reduction
in drudgery of women
(spent less than 0.5 hour) in
fetching water.
c. Societal Level Impact
i.
ii.
People’s Participation
- Respondents in the
intervention villages
comparatively felt
more empowered in
participating within the
decision making process
of the community based
organizations compared
to respondents from the
control group villages. 81%
villages developed water
budgeting plans for efficient
management of water
resources with 86% farmers
respondents reported to
be part of the water user
groups for effective water
governance in their villages.
74% farmers reported to
be contributing towards
maintenance cost of
common property resources
within their villages.
Trickle Down Benefit - The
initiatives by RF BIJ not
just increased income,
but also helped cultural
transformation by changing
attitudes and aspirations
of the village residents. As
income improved, the notion
of educating their children
became plausible for farmers
– thus resulting in higher
aspirations for their children’s
education, especially for
the girl child.
iii.
With the increase in money,
in the hands of women, an
increase in SHGs participation
was observed. Women
286
started saving from the extra
earnings and joined SHGs
with a sense of independence
and empowerment.

81% intervention villagers were
self-reliant in planning their
water needs; only 16% of the
intervention villagers faced
water scarcity in recent years.
60% of the farmers reported
that the water tables
are not declining.
75% farmers now practice
crop rotation and 85% of the
farmers diversify the crops.

4. Key Findings:
a. Overall
i.
ii.
RFYC has become an
aspirational academy for
the upcoming football
players. The alignment of the
programme with National
Sports Policy (NSP) 2001 as
well as the strategies of the
All India Football Federation
(AIFF) has established the
programme as a channel for
driving ecosystem change.
RFYC programme focuses
on important aspect of
nurturing young talent
coming from very humble
backgrounds from remote
parts of India and provide a
career path way.
The overall positive impact
of the RFYC programme is
evident from the fact that nine
out of the ten young champs
who graduated from the first
cohort were able to pursue a
professional career in sports
with leading football clubs in
India. Their performance on
the field during professional
matches demonstrates that
RFYC is on the right track
to create transformational
talent in Indian football. The
trickle down effect of creating
a sporting culture across
the country is an important
outcome of the programme
along with promoting sports.

Sports and Education: The
young champs are given
the opportunity to study
at one of the best quality
schools in Navi Mumbai.
This has reassured parents
of the holistic development
of their children. Average
score of young champs
was found to be nearly at
par with the average score
of regular students of RF
School. Programme focus on
education is a determinant
for choosing RFYC by 40% of
the parents. 40% of young
champs felt their academic
performance has improved.
Coaching, Counselling and
other support helped the
young champs to cope up
with anxiety and stress. 67%
of young champs reported
that the sessions with the
counsellor/ psychologist
helped them positively deal
with their anxiety and stress
levels. 80% of the respondents
reported that feedback
received from coaches and
mentors is positive.
c.
d.
Individual Level Impact– At an
individual level, young champs
stand out amongst peers and
have developed potential to
become role models. They have
developed holistic skills to pursue
careers in or out of football with
RFYC focus on academics as a
big differentiator. In economic
terms, access to academy and
education has helped save about
` 5 Lakh per annum for a family.
The graduates from the academy
have secured starting contracts of
` 7 Lakh per annum.
Ecosystem Level Impact -
Increasingly, Football is being
seen as a career option (impact
currently restricted to regions
with a prevalent football culture).
Inclusion of children from weaker
socio-economic backgrounds
has empowered them to prove
their sporting skills at multiple
levels. The Academy which is
ranked at number 2 by AIFF is
an aspirational benchmark for
other academies and clubs in
India. Deep scouting of talent has
helped expand the geographical
scope of the sport and provide
opportunities for young talent.

A. Conservation of Energy
Steps taken to conserve
(i)
energy
The Company considers
energy management as one
of the key components of its
responsible business strategy
and the objective has always
been to continually improve
energy performance of the
organisation, consolidate these
improvements, and move on to
the next higher level.
Relentless monitoring of energy
performance is pursued by
dedicated Energy Teams at
site and group level using a
well-structured mechanism
having features that make
energy information, including
those on regulatory and
compliance matters, available
in real time across the Company.
Strengthened with decision tools
and tools for simulation and
visualization of energy efficiency,
the monitoring system is also
integrated with production
control systems, making energy
management agile, flexible and
effective. Energy audits and
benchmarking studies are also
conducted periodically to identify
performance gaps.
The Company adopts a strategy
to manage energy based on the 5
tenets of energy management:
• Eliminate unnecessary energy
use through process and heat
integration, quick restoration
of equipment performance,
consumption optimization using
simulation models, and reduce-
recover-reuse programmes.

Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Members of Reliance Industries Limited
Report on the Audit of the Standalone

to the Standalone Financial Statements, including a
summary of significant accounting policies and other
explanatory information.
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 Companies Act, 2013, as amended (“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, 2022, its profit including other comprehensive

Auditing (SAs), as specified under section 143(10) of the
Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further
described in the ‘Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of
the Standalone Financial Statements’ section of our report.
We are independent of the Company in accordance with
the ‘Code of Ethics’ issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements
that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements
under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder,
and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in

Statements, wherein, the Company has withdrawn from
General Reserves, an amount of ` 36,143 crore equal to
the loss recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss
on measurement of the gasification undertaking as held
for sale and credited the same to the Statement of Profit
and Loss. This is in accordance with Scheme approved by
National Company Law Tribunal, Mumbai, overriding the
Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS).
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the
Standalone Financial Statements for the financial year

• Reviewed the management re-assessment of estimated useful
lives of tangible assets, intangible assets and recoverability of
their carrying values with respect to anticipated future risks.
• Performed walk-through of the estimation process associated
with the oil and gas reserves. Further, assessed the valuation
methodology, including assumptions around the key drivers
of the cash flow forecasts including future oil and gas prices,
estimated reserves, discount rates used, etc. by engaging
valuation experts.
• Assessed the objectivity and competence of the Company’s
specialists involved in estimating oil & gas reserves and
valuation specialists engaged by us.
• Assessed whether the updated oil and gas reserve estimates
were included in the Company’s, accounting for amortisation /
depletion and disclosures of proved reserves and proved
developed reserves in the financial statements.
• Reviewed the disclosures made by the Company in the
financial statements.
Our audit procedures included and were not limited
to the following:
• Assessed the management’s position through discussions
with the in-house legal expert and external legal opinions
obtained by the Company (where considered necessary) on

b)
c)
Re-assessment of estimated useful lives used for
determination of depreciation of tangible assets,
amortisation of intangible assets and recoverability
of their carrying values involves assumptions used for
such technical assessment, consideration of historical
experience and anticipated future risks. Refer Note B.2(b)
and B.2(d) of financial statements.
Estimates of oil and gas reserves are used to calculate
depletion charges for the Company’s oil and gas assets
and also have a direct impact on the assessment of
the recoverability of their carrying values. Factors such
as the availability of geological and engineering data,
reservoir performance data, acquisition and divestment
activity, drilling of new wells and commodity prices
impacts the determination of the Company’s estimates
of oil and natural gas reserves. Refer Note C(A) of the
financial statements.
Accordingly, the above matters relating to tangible
and intangible assets have been considered as a
key audit matter.
B. Litigation matters
The Company has certain significant ongoing legal
proceedings for various complex matters with the
Government of India and other parties, continuing from
earlier years, which are as under:
1. Matters in relation to Oil and Gas:
(a) Disallowance of certain costs under the production
sharing contract, relating to Block KG-DWN-98/3
and consequent deposit of differential revenue on
gas sales from D1D3 field to the gas pool account
maintained by Gail (India) Limited (Refer Note 35.3).
(b) Claim against the Company in respect of gas said
to have migrated from neighbouring blocks (KGD6)
(Refer Note 35.4(a)).
(c) Claims relating to limits of cost recovery, profit
sharing and audit and accounting provisions of the
public sector corporations etc., arising under two
production sharing contracts entered into in 1994
(Refer Note 35.4(b)).
(d) Suit for specific performance of a contract for supply
of natural gas before the Hon’ble Bombay High Court
(Refer Note 35.4(c)).
2.
Matter relating to trading in shares of Reliance
Petroleum Limited (‘RPL’):
Special Appellate Tribunal judgement dated November
5, 2020, dismissing the Company’s appeal made in
relation to order passed by the Securities and Exchange
Board of India (‘SEBI’) under Section 11B of the SEBI
Act, 1992 in connection with trades by Company in
the stock exchanges in 2007 in the shares of Reliance
Petroleum Limited, then subsidiary of the Company
(Refer Note 36(iv)).
Due to complexity involved in these litigation matters,
management’s judgement regarding recognition,
measurement and disclosure of provisions for these
legal proceedings is inherently uncertain and might
change over time as the outcomes of the legal cases
are determined.
Accordingly, it has been considered as a key audit matter.
298
C. Fair Valuation of Investments
As at March 31, 2022, the Company has investments of
` 78,144 crore in the Equity and Preference Shares of Jio Digital
Fiber Private Limited (JDFPL) which are measured at fair value
as per Ind AS 109 read with Ind AS 113.
These investments are Level 3 investments as per the fair
value hierarchy in Ind AS 113 and accordingly determination
of fair value is based on a high degree of judgement and
input from data that is not directly observable in the market.
Further, the fair value is significantly influenced by the
expected pattern of future benefits of the tangible assets
of JDFPL (fiber assets). Refer Note 2 and Note 38A in the
financial statements.
Accordingly, the same has been considered as a
key audit matter.
D.
IT systems and controls over financial reporting
We identified IT systems and controls over financial reporting
as a key audit matter for the Company because its financial
accounting and reporting systems are fundamentally
reliant on IT systems and IT controls to process significant
transaction volumes, specifically with respect to revenue
and raw material consumption. Also, due to such large
transaction volumes and the increasing challenge to protect
the integrity of the Company’s systems and data, cyber
security has become more significant.
Automated accounting procedures and IT environment
controls, which include IT governance, IT general controls
over program development and changes, access to
program and data and IT operations, IT application controls
and interfaces between IT applications are required to be
designed and to operate effectively to ensure accurate
financial reporting.
Our audit procedures included and were not limited
to the following:
• Reviewed the fair valuation reports provided by the
management by involvement of internal specialist / external
valuation experts.
• We assessed the assumptions around the cash flow forecasts
including discount rates, expected growth rates and its
effect on business and terminal growth rates used through
involvement of the internal experts.
• We also involved internal experts to assess the Company’s
valuation methodology and assumptions, applied in
determining the fair value.
• We discussed potential changes in key drivers as compared
to previous year / actual performance with management
to evaluate the inputs and assumptions used in the cash
flow forecasts.
• Assessed the objectivity and competence of our internal
expert and Company’s internal/external specialists involved
in the process.
• Reviewed the disclosures made by the Company in the
financial statements.
Our procedures included and were not limited to the following:
• Assessed the complexity of the IT environment by engaging
IT specialists and through discussion with the head of IT
and internal audit and identified IT applications that are
relevant to our audit.
• Assessed the design and evaluation of the operating
effectiveness of IT general controls over program development
and changes, access to program and data and IT operations
by engaging IT specialists.
• Performed inquiry procedures with the head of cybersecurity at
the Company in respect of the overall security architecture and
any key threats addressed by the Company in the current year.
• Assessed the design and evaluation of the operating
effectiveness of IT application controls in the key processes
impacting financial reporting of the Company by engaging
IT specialists.
• Assessed the operating effectiveness of controls relating
to data transmission through the different IT systems to the
financial reporting systems by engaging IT specialists.
We have determined that there are no other key audit matters to communicate in our report.
Information Other than the Financial
Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon
Responsibilities of Management for the
Standalone Financial Statements
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other
information. The other information comprises the information
included in the Annual report, but does not include the
Standalone Financial Statements and our auditor’s
report thereon.
Our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements does
not cover the other information and we do not express any
form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Standalone Financial
Statements, our responsibility is to read the other information
and, in doing so, consider whether such other information
is materially inconsistent with the financial statements
or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise
appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work
we have performed, we conclude that there is a material
misstatement of this other information, we are required to
report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the
matters stated in section 134(5) of 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 including other comprehensive income, cash
flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance
with the accounting principles generally accepted in India,
including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified
under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies
(Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended.
This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate
accounting records in accordance with the provisions of
the Act for safeguarding of 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 the design, implementation
299
Integrated Annual Report 2021-22Reliance Industries Limited
Independent Auditor’s Report
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 Standalone Financial
Statements that give a true and fair view and are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements,
management is responsible for assessing the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as
applicable, matters related to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless management
either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing
the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of
the Standalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the Standalone Financial Statements as a whole
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud
or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes
our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of
assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted
in accordance with SAs will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from
fraud or error and are considered material if, individually
or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to
influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis
of these Standalone Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise
professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism
throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of
the Standalone Financial Statements, whether due to fraud
or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive
to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The
risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting
from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as
fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to
the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of
the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion
on whether the Company has adequate internal financial
controls with reference to financial statements in place
and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used
and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of
the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the
audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty
exists related to events or conditions that may cast
300
significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a
going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty
exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s
report to the related disclosures in the financial statements
or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our
opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence
obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However,
future events or conditions may cause the Company to
cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content
of the Standalone Financial Statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the Standalone Financial
Statements represent the underlying transactions and
events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance
regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and
timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including
any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify
during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with
a statement that we have complied with relevant
ethical requirements regarding independence, and
to communicate with them all relationships and other
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our
independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with
governance, we determine those matters that were of
most significance in the audit of the Standalone Financial
Statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2022
and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these
matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation
precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in
extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter
should not be communicated in our report because the
adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably
be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of
such communication.

Integrated Annual Report 2021-22Reliance Industries Limited
Independent Auditor’s Report
Annexure 2
To the Independent Auditors’ Report of even date on the Standalone Financial Statements of Reliance Industries Limited
Report on the Internal Financial Controls
under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of
Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013
(“the Act”)
We have audited the internal financial controls with
reference to Standalone Financial Statements of Reliance
Industries Limited (“the Company”) which includes joint
operations as of March 31, 2022 in conjunction with our audit
of the Standalone Financial Statements of the Company for
the year ended on that date.
Management’s Responsibility for
Internal Financial Controls
The Company’s Management is responsible for establishing
and maintaining internal financial controls based on the
internal control over financial reporting criteria established
by the Company considering the essential components
of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of
Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued
by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (“ICAI”).
These responsibilities include the design, implementation
and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls
that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and
efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to
the Company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the
prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy
and completeness of the accounting records, and the
timely preparation of reliable financial information, as
required under the Companies Act, 2013.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's
internal financial controls with reference to these
Standalone Financial Statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance
Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial
Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on
Auditing, as specified under section 143(10) of the Act, to the
extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls,
both issued by ICAI. Those Standards and the Guidance
Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether adequate internal financial controls with
reference to these standalone financial statements was
established and maintained and if such controls operated
effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit
evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial
controls with reference to these standalone financial
statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit
306
of internal financial controls with reference to standalone
financial statements included obtaining an understanding
of internal financial controls with reference to these
standalone financial statements, assessing the risk that
a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating
the design and operating effectiveness of internal control
based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected
depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the
financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls with
reference to these standalone financial statements.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls
with reference to these Standalone
Financial Statements
A company's internal financial controls with reference to
standalone financial statements is a process designed
to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. A company's
internal financial controls with reference to standalone
financial statements includes those policies and
procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records
that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures
of the company are being made only in accordance
with authorisations of management and directors of the
company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding
prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition,
use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have
a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal
Financial Controls With Reference to
Standalone Financial Statements
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial
controls with reference to standalone financial statements,
including the possibility of collusion or improper
management override of controls, material misstatements
due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial
controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements

to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal

Opinion
In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects,
adequate internal financial controls with reference to
standalone financial statements and such internal financial
controls with reference to standalone financial statements
were operating effectively as at March 31, 2022, based
on the internal control over financial reporting criteria
established by the Company considering the essential
components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note
issued by the ICAI.

B.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Current and Non-Current Classification
The Company presents assets and liabilities in the
Balance Sheet based on Current/ Non-Current
classification.
An asset is treated as Current when it is –
-
-
-
-
Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or
consumed in normal operating cycle;
Held primarily for the purpose of trading;
Expected to be realised within twelve months
after the reporting period, or
Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from
being exchanged or used to settle a liability for
at least twelve months after the reporting period.
All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is current when:
-
It is expected to be settled in normal
operating cycle;
314
-
-
-
It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
It is due to be settled within twelve months after
the reporting period, or
There is no unconditional right to defer the
settlement of the liability for at least twelve
months after the reporting period.
The Company classifies all other liabilities
as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as
non-current assets and liabilities.
(b) Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, Plant and Equipment are stated at cost, net
of recoverable taxes, trade discount and rebates less
accumulated depreciation and impairment losses,
if any. Such cost includes purchase price, borrowing
cost and any cost directly attributable to bringing
the assets to its working condition for its intended
use, net charges on foreign exchange contracts and
adjustments arising from exchange rate variations
attributable to the assets. In case of land the
Company has availed fair value as deemed cost on
the date of transition to Ind AS.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying
amount or recognised as a separate asset, as
appropriate, only when it is probable that future
economic benefits associated with the item will flow
to the entity and the cost can be measured reliably.
Property, Plant and Equipment which are significant
to the total cost of that item of Property, Plant and
Equipment and having different useful life are
accounted separately.
Other Indirect Expenses incurred relating to
project, net of income earned during the project
development stage prior to its intended use, are
considered as pre-operative expenses and disclosed
under Capital Work-in-Progress.
Depreciation on Property, Plant and Equipment
is provided using written down value method on
depreciable amount except in case of certain assets
of Oil to Chemicals segment which are depreciated
using straight line method. Depreciation is provided

Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 except in
respect of the following assets, where useful life is
different than those prescribed in Schedule II;
Particular

Corporate
Overview
Management
Review
Governance
Financial
Statements
Standalone
The residual values, useful lives and methods of
depreciation of Property, Plant and Equipment are
reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted
prospectively, if appropriate.
Gains or losses arising from derecognition of a
Property, Plant and Equipment are measured as
the difference between the net disposal proceeds
and the carrying amount of the asset and are
recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss when
the asset is derecognised.
(c) Leases
The Company, as a lessee, recognises a right-
of-use asset and a lease liability for its leasing
arrangements, if the contract conveys the right to
control the use of an identified asset.
The contract conveys the right to control the use
of an identified asset, if it involves the use of an
identified asset and the Company has substantially
all of the economic benefits from use of the asset
and has right to direct the use of the identified asset.
The cost of the right-of-use asset shall comprise
of the amount of the initial measurement of the
lease liability adjusted for any lease payments
made at or before the commencement date plus
any initial direct costs incurred. The right-of-use
assets is subsequently measured at cost less
any accumulated depreciation, accumulated
impairment losses, if any and adjusted for any
remeasurement of the lease liability. The right-of-use
assets is depreciated using the straight-line method
from the commencement date over the shorter of
lease term or useful life of right-of-use asset.
The Company measures the lease liability at the
present value of the lease payments that are not
paid at the commencement date of the lease.
The lease payments are discounted using the
interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be
readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily
determined, the Company uses incremental
borrowing rate.
For short-term and low value leases, the Company
recognises the lease payments as an operating
expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(d) Intangible Assets
Intangible Assets are stated at cost of acquisition
net of recoverable taxes, trade discount and
rebates less accumulated amortisation/depletion
and impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes
purchase price, borrowing costs, and any cost
directly attributable to bringing the asset to its
working condition for the intended use, net charges
on foreign exchange contracts and adjustments
arising from exchange rate variations attributable
to the Intangible Assets.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s
carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset,
as appropriate, only when it is probable that future
economic benefits associated with the item will flow
to the entity and the cost can be measured reliably.
Other Indirect Expenses incurred relating to
project, net of income earned during the project
development stage prior to its intended use,
are considered as pre-operative expenses
and disclosed under Intangible Assets
Under Development.
Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an
Intangible Asset are measured as the difference
between the net disposal proceeds and the
carrying amount of the asset and are recognised
in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset
is derecognised. The Company’s intangible assets
comprises assets with finite useful life which are
amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of
their expected useful life.

applied to the Company’s Intangible Assets to the
extent of depreciable amount is as follows:
Particular
Amortisation / Depletion
Technical
Know-How
Computer
Software

Others
The amortisation period and the amortisation
method for Intangible Assets with a finite useful life
are reviewed at each reporting date.
(e) Research and Development Expenditure
Revenue expenditure pertaining to research is
charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss as
and when incurred.
Development costs are capitalised as an intangible
asset if it can be demonstrated that the project is
expected to generate future economic benefits,
it is probable that those future economic benefits
will flow to the entity and the costs of the asset
can be measured reliably, else it is charged to the
Statement of Profit and Loss.

(f) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise of cash on
hand, cash at banks, short-term deposits and
short-term highly liquid investments that are readily
convertible to known amounts of cash and which are
subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
(g) Finance Costs
Borrowing costs include exchange differences arising
from foreign currency borrowings to the extent
they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest
cost. Borrowing costs that are directly attributable
to the acquisition or construction of qualifying
assets are capitalised as part of the cost of such
assets. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily
takes substantial period of time to get ready for
its intended use.
Interest income earned on the temporary investment
of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on
qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing
costs eligible for capitalisation.
All other borrowing costs are charged to the
Statement of Profit and Loss for the period for which
they are incurred.
(h) Inventories
Items of inventories are measured at lower of
cost and net realisable value after providing for
obsolescence, if any, except in case of by-products
which are valued at net realisable value. Cost
of inventories comprises of cost of purchase,
cost of conversion and other costs including
manufacturing overheads net of recoverable taxes
incurred in bringing them to their respective present
location and condition.
Cost of finished goods, work-in-progress, raw
materials, chemicals, stores and spares, packing
materials, trading and other products are
determined on weighted average basis.
(i)
Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
- Property, Plant and Equipment and
Intangible Assets
The Company assesses at each reporting date as
to whether there is any indication that any Property,
Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets or
group of Assets, called Cash Generating Units (CGU)
may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the
recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is estimated
to determine the extent of impairment, if any. When
it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount
of an individual asset, the Company estimates
the recoverable amount of the CGU to which
the asset belongs.
An impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of
Profit and Loss to the extent, asset’s carrying amount
exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable
316
amount is higher of an asset’s fair value less cost of
disposal and value in use. Value in use is based on
the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their
present value using pre-tax discount rate that reflects
current market assessments of the time value of
money and risk specific to the assets.
The impairment loss recognised in prior accounting
period is reversed if there has been a change in the
estimate of recoverable amount.
(j) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has
a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a
result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow
of resources embodying economic benefits will
be required to settle the obligation and a reliable
estimate can be made of the amount of the
obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is
material, provisions are discounted using a current
pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks
specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the
increase in the provision due to the passage of time
is recognised as a finance cost.
Provision for Decommissioning Liability
The Company records a provision for
decommissioning costs towards site restoration
activity. Decommissioning costs are provided at
the present value of future expenditure using a
current pre-tax rate expected to be incurred to fulfil
decommissioning obligations and are recognised as
part of the cost of the underlying assets. Any change
in the present value of the expenditure, other than
unwinding of discount on the provision, is reflected as
adjustment to the provision and the corresponding
asset. The change in the provision due to the
unwinding of discount is recognised in the Statement
of Profit and Loss.
(k) Contingent Liabilities
Disclosure of contingent liability is made when there
is a possible obligation arising from past events,
the existence of which will be confirmed only by
the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more
uncertain future events not wholly within the control
of the Company or a present obligation that arises
from past events where it is either not probable
that an outflow of resources embodying economic
benefits will be required to settle or a reliable
estimate of amount cannot be made.
(l) Employee Benefits Expense
Short-Term Employee Benefits
The undiscounted amount of short-term employee
benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the
services rendered by employees are recognised as
an expense during the period when the employees
render the services.
Corporate
Overview
Management
Review
Governance
Financial
Statements
Standalone
Post-Employment Benefits
Defined Contribution Plans
The Company recognises contribution payable to
the provident fund scheme as an expense, when
an employee renders the related service. If the
contribution payable to the scheme for service
received before the balance sheet date exceeds
the contribution already paid, the deficit payable
to the scheme is recognised as a liability. If the
contribution already paid exceeds the contribution
due for services received before the balance sheet
date, then excess is recognised as an asset to the
extent that the pre-payment will lead to a reduction
in future payment or a cash refund.
Defined Benefit Plans
The Company pays gratuity to the employees
who have completed five years of service with the
Company at the time of resignation/superannuation.
The gratuity is paid @15 days basic salary for every
completed year of service as per the Payment of
Gratuity Act, 1972. The gratuity liability amount is
contributed to the approved gratuity fund formed
exclusively for gratuity payment to the employees.
The gratuity fund has been approved by respective
Income Tax authorities. The liability in respect of
gratuity and other post-employment benefits is
calculated using the Projected Unit Credit Method
and spread over the period during which the benefit
is expected to be derived from employees’ services.
Remeasurement gains and losses arising from
adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions
are recognised in the period in which they occur in
Other Comprehensive Income.
Employee Separation Costs: The Company
recognises the employee separation cost when
the scheme is announced, and the Company is
demonstrably committed to it.
(m) Tax Expenses
The tax expenses for the period comprises of current
tax and deferred income tax. Tax is recognised in
Statement of Profit and Loss, except to the extent
that it relates to items recognised in the Other
Comprehensive Income. In which case, the tax is
also recognised in Other Comprehensive Income.
i. Current Tax
Current tax assets and liabilities are measured
at the amount expected to be recovered from
or paid to the Income Tax authorities, based
on tax rates and laws that are enacted at the
Balance sheet date.
ii. Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary
differences between the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities in the Financial Statements
and the corresponding tax bases used in the
computation of taxable profit.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent
it is probable that taxable profit will be available
against which the deductible temporary
differences, and the carry forward of unused
tax losses can be utilised. Deferred tax liabilities
and assets are measured at the tax rates that
are expected to apply in the period in which the
liability is settled or the asset realised, based
on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been
enacted or substantively enacted by the end
of the reporting period. The carrying amount of
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are reviewed at
the end of each reporting period.
(n) Share Based Payments
Equity-settled share based payments to employees
and others providing similar services are measured
at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant
date. Details regarding the determination of the
fair value of equity-settled share based payments
transactions are set out in Note 29.2.
The fair value determined at the grant date of the
equity-settled share based payments is expensed on
a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on
the Company’s estimate of equity instruments that
will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase
in equity. At the end of each reporting period, the
Company revises its estimate of the number of equity
instruments expected to vest. The impact of the
revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised
in Statement of Profit and Loss such that the
cumulative expenses reflects the revised estimate,
with a corresponding adjustment to the Share Based
Payments Reserve.
The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected
as additional share dilution in the computation of
diluted earnings per share.
In case of Group equity-settled share-based
payment transactions, where the Company grants
stock options to the employees of its subsidiaries, the
transactions are accounted by increasing the cost
of investment in subsidiary with a corresponding
credit in the equity.
(o) Foreign Currencies Transactions and
Translation
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the
exchange rate prevailing on the date of transaction.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies are translated at the functional
currency closing rates of exchange at the reporting
date. Exchange differences arising on settlement
or translation of monetary items are recognised in
Statement of Profit and Loss except to the extent
of exchange differences which are regarded
317
Notesto the Standalone Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March, 2022Integrated Annual Report 2021-22Reliance Industries Limited
as an adjustment to interest costs on foreign
currency borrowings that are directly attributable
to the acquisition or construction of qualifying
assets which are capitalised as cost of assets.
Additionally, exchange gains or losses on foreign
currency borrowings taken prior to April 1, 2016 which
are related to the acquisition or construction of
qualifying assets are adjusted in the carrying cost
of such assets.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms
of historical cost in a foreign currency are recorded
using the exchange rates at the date of the
transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair
value in a foreign currency are translated using the
exchange rates at the date when the fair value was
measured. The gain or loss arising on translation
of non-monetary items measured at fair value is
treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss
on the change in fair value of the item (i.e. translation
differences on items whose fair value gain or loss
is recognised in Other Comprehensive Income or
Statement of Profit and Loss are also recognised in
Other Comprehensive Income or Statement of Profit
and Loss, respectively).
In case of an asset, expense or income where a
non-monetary advance is paid/received, the date
of transaction is the date on which the advance was
initially recognised. If there were multiple payments
or receipts in advance, multiple dates of transactions
are determined for each payment or receipt of
advance consideration.
(p) Revenue Recognition
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised
when control of the goods or services are transferred
to the customer at an amount that reflects the
consideration entitled in exchange for those goods
or services. The Company is generally the principal
as it typically controls the goods or services before
transferring them to the customer.
Generally, control is transferred upon shipment of
goods to the customer or when the goods is made
available to the customer, provided transfer of title
to the customer occurs and the Company has not
retained any significant risks of ownership or future
obligations with respect to the goods shipped.
Revenue from rendering of services is recognised
over time by measuring the progress towards
complete satisfaction of performance obligations at
the reporting period.
Revenue is measured at the amount of consideration
which the Company expects to be entitled to in
exchange for transferring distinct goods or services
to a customer as specified in the contract, excluding
amounts collected on behalf of third parties (for
example taxes and duties collected on behalf of
the government). Consideration is generally due
upon satisfaction of performance obligations
and a receivable is recognised when it becomes
unconditional. Generally, the credit period varies
between 0-60 days from the shipment or delivery of
goods or services as the case may be. The Company
provides volume rebates to certain customers once
the quantity of products purchased during the period
exceeds a threshold specified and also accrues
discounts to certain customers based on customary
business practices which is derived on the basis of
crude price volatility and various market demand
– supply situations. Consideration are determined
based on its most likely amount. Generally, sales
of petroleum products contain provisional pricing
features where revenue is initially recognised based
on provisional price.
Difference between final settlement price and
provisional price is recognised subsequently. The
Company does not adjust short-term advances
received from the customer for the effects of
significant financing component if it is expected at
the contract inception that the promised good or
service will be transferred to the customer within a
period of one year.
Contract Balances
Trade Receivables
A receivable represents the Company’s right to an
amount of consideration that is unconditional.
Contract Liabilities
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods
or services to a customer for which the Company has
received consideration or is due from the customer. If
a customer pays consideration before the Company
transfers goods or services to the customer, a
contract liability is recognised when the payment is
made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier).
Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when
the Company performs under the contract.
Interest Income
Interest Income from a Financial Assets is recognised
using effective interest rate method.
Dividend Income
Dividend Income is recognised when the Company’s
right to receive the amount has been established.
(q) Financial Instruments

A. Initial Recognition and Measurement
All Financial Assets are initially recognised at
fair value. Transaction costs that are directly
attributable to the acquisition or issue of
Financial Assets, which are not at Fair Value
Through Profit or Loss, are adjusted to the fair

value on initial recognition. Purchase and sale
of Financial Assets are recognised using trade
date accounting.
B. Subsequent Measurement
a)
Financial Assets measured at
Amortised Cost (AC)
A Financial Asset is measured at Amortised
Cost if it is held within a business model whose
objective is to hold the asset in order to collect
contractual cash flows and the contractual
terms of the Financial Asset give rise to cash
flows on specified dates that represent solely
payments of principal and interest on the
principal amount outstanding.
b)
Financial Assets measured at Fair
Value Through Other Comprehensive
Income (FVTOCI)
A Financial Asset is measured at FVTOCI if it is
held within a business model whose objective
is achieved by both collecting contractual
cash flows and selling Financial Assets and
the contractual terms of the Financial Asset
give rise on specified dates to cash flows that
represents solely payments of principal and
interest on the principal amount outstanding.
c)
Financial Assets measured at Fair Value
Through Profit or Loss (FVTPL)
A Financial Asset which is not classified in any
of the above categories are measured at FVTPL.
Financial assets are reclassified subsequent
to their recognition, if the Company changes
its business model for managing those
financial assets. Changes in business model
are made and applied prospectively from the
reclassification date which is the first day of
immediately next reporting period following
the changes in business model in accordance
with principles laid down under Ind AS 109 –
Financial Instruments.
C.
Investment in Subsidiaries, Associates
and Joint Ventures
The Company has accounted for its
investments in Subsidiaries, associates and
joint venture at cost less impairment loss (if
any). The investments in preference shares with
the right of surplus assets which are in nature of
equity in accordance with Ind AS 32 are treated
as separate category of investment and
measured at FVTOCI.
D. Other Equity Investments
All other equity investments are measured at
fair value, with value changes recognised in
Statement of Profit and Loss, except for those
equity investments for which the Company
has elected to present the value changes
in ‘Other Comprehensive Income’. However,
dividend on such equity investments are
recognised in Statement of Profit and loss
when the Company’s right to receive payment
is established.
E.
Impairment of Financial Assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company
uses ‘Expected Credit Loss’ (ECL) model, for
evaluating impairment of Financial Assets other
than those measured at Fair Value Through
Profit and Loss (FVTPL).
Expected Credit Losses are measured through a
loss allowance at an amount equal to:
• The 12-months expected credit losses
(expected credit losses that result from those
default events on the financial instrument
that are possible within 12 months after the
reporting date); or
• Full lifetime expected credit losses
(expected credit losses that result from all
possible default events over the life of the
financial instrument).
For Trade Receivables the Company applies
‘simplified approach’ which requires expected
lifetime losses to be recognised from initial
recognition of the receivables.
The Company uses historical default rates to
determine impairment loss on the portfolio
of trade receivables. At every reporting date
these historical default rates are reviewed
and changes in the forward-looking
estimates are analysed.
For other assets, the Company uses 12 month
ECL to provide for impairment loss where
there is no significant increase in credit risk.
If there is significant increase in credit risk full
lifetime ECL is used.
ii. Financial Liabilities
A.
Initial Recognition and Measurement
All Financial Liabilities are recognised at fair
value and in case of borrowings, net of directly
attributable cost. Fees of recurring nature are
directly recognised in the Statement of Profit
and Loss as finance cost.
B. Subsequent Measurement
Financial Liabilities are carried at amortised
cost using the effective interest method. For
trade and other payables maturing within one
year from the balance sheet date, the carrying
amounts approximate fair value due to the
short maturity of these instruments.

iii.
Derivative Financial Instruments and
Hedge Accounting
The Company uses various derivative financial
instruments such as interest rate swaps,
currency swaps, forwards & options and
commodity contracts to mitigate the risk of
changes in interest rates, exchange rates and
commodity prices. At the inception of a hedge
relationship, the Company formally designates
and documents the hedge relationship to
which the Company wishes to apply hedge
accounting and the risk management objective
and strategy for undertaking the hedge. Such
derivative financial instruments are initially
recognised at fair value on the date on which a
derivative contract is entered into and are also
subsequently measured at fair value.
Derivatives are carried as Financial Assets
when the fair value is positive and as Financial
Liabilities when the fair value is negative. Any
gains or losses arising from changes in the
fair value of derivatives are taken directly to
Statement of Profit and Loss, except for the
effective portion of cash flow hedge which is
recognised in Other Comprehensive Income
and later to Statement of Profit and Loss
when the hedged item affects profit or loss
or is treated as basis adjustment if a hedged
forecast transaction subsequently results in the
recognition of a Non-Financial Assets or Non-
Financial liability.
Hedges that meet the criteria for hedge
accounting are accounted for as follows:
A. Cash Flow Hedge
The Company designates derivative contracts
or non-derivative Financial Assets/ Liabilities
as hedging instruments to mitigate the risk
of movement in interest rates and foreign
exchange rates for foreign exchange
exposure on highly probable future cash flows
attributable to a recognised asset or liability or
forecast cash transactions.
When a derivative is designated as a cash
flow hedging instrument, the effective portion
of changes in the fair value of the derivative
is recognised in the cash flow hedging
reserve being part of Other Comprehensive
Income. Any ineffective portion of changes in
the fair value of the derivative is recognised
immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
If the hedging relationship no longer meets
the criteria for hedge accounting, then hedge
accounting is discontinued prospectively. If
the hedging instrument expires or is sold or
terminated or exercised, the cumulative gain
or loss on the hedging instrument recognised
in cash flow hedging reserve till the period
the hedge was effective remains in cash
flow hedging reserve until the underlying
transaction occurs. The cumulative gain or loss
previously recognised in the cash flow hedging
reserve is transferred to the Statement of Profit
and Loss upon the occurrence of the underlying
transaction. If the forecasted transaction is no
longer expected to occur, then the amount
accumulated in cash flow hedging reserve is
reclassified in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

equity shares. Dilutive potential equity shares are
deemed converted as at the beginning of the
period unless issued at a later date.
Non-current assets held for sale are neither
depreciated nor amortised.
Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are
measured at the lower of their carrying amount and
fair value less cost of disposal and are presented
separately in the Balance Sheet.
B. Fair Value Hedge
(s) Accounting for Oil and Gas Activity
The Company designates derivative contracts
or non-derivative Financial Assets/Liabilities
as hedging instruments to mitigate the risk
of change in fair value of hedged item due to
movement in interest rates, foreign exchange
rates and commodity prices.
Changes in the fair value of hedging
instruments and hedged items that are
designated and qualify as fair value hedges
are recorded in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
If the hedging relationship no longer meets the
criteria for hedge accounting, the adjustment
to the carrying amount of a hedged item for
which the effective interest method is used is
amortised to Statement of Profit and Loss over
the period of maturity.
iv. Derecognition of Financial Instruments
The Company derecognises a Financial Asset
when the contractual rights to the cash flows
from the Financial Asset expire or it transfers
the Financial Asset and the transfer qualifies
for derecognition under Ind AS 109. A Financial
liability (or a part of a Financial liability) is
derecognised from the Company’s Balance
Sheet when the obligation specified in the
contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.
v. Offsetting
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities are
offset and the net amount is presented in
the balance sheet when, and only when, the
Company has a legally enforceable right to set
off the amount and it intends, either to settle
them on a net basis or to realise the asset and
settle the liability simultaneously.
The Company has adopted Successful Efforts
Method (SEM) of accounting for its Oil and Gas
activities. The policy of recognition of exploration
and evaluation expenditure is considered in line
with the principle of SEM. Seismic costs, geological
and geophysical studies, petroleum exploration
license fees and general and administration costs
directly attributable to exploration and evaluation
activities are expensed off. The costs incurred on
acquisition of interest in oil and gas blocks and on
exploration and evaluation other than those which
are expensed off are accounted for as Intangible
Assets Under Development. All development
costs incurred in respect of proved reserves are
also capitalised under Intangible Assets Under
Development. Once a well is ready to commence
commercial production, the costs accumulated in
Intangible Assets Under Development are classified
as Intangible Assets corresponding to proved
developed oil and gas reserves. The exploration
and evaluation expenditure which does not result
in discovery of proved oil and gas reserves and all
cost pertaining to production are charged to the
Statement of Profit and Loss.
The Company uses technical estimation of reserves
as per the Petroleum Resources Management
System guidelines 2011 and standard geological and
reservoir engineering methods. The reserve review
and evaluation is carried out annually.
Oil and Gas Joint Ventures are in the nature of joint
operations. Accordingly, assets and liabilities as
well as income and expenditure are accounted on
the basis of available information on a line-by-line
basis with similar items in the Company’s Financial
Statements, according to the participating interest
of the Company.
(r) Non-current Assets Held for Sale
(t) Earnings Per Share
Non-current assets are classified as held for
sale if their carrying amount will be recovered
principally through a sale transaction rather than
through continuing use and sale is considered
highly probable.
A sale is considered as highly probable when
decision has been made to sell, assets are available
for immediate sale in its present condition, assets
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing
the net profit after tax by the weighted average
number of equity shares outstanding during the
year adjusted for bonus element in equity share.
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used
in determination of basic earnings per share to take
into account the conversion of all dilutive potential
C. Critical Accounting Judgements and
Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty
The preparation of the Company’s Financial Statements
requires management to make judgement, estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amount
of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities and
the accompanying disclosures. Uncertainty about
these assumptions and estimates could result in
outcomes that require a material adjustment to the
carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in next
financial years.
(A) Estimation of Oil and Gas Reserves
The determination of the Company’s estimated oil and
natural gas reserves requires significant judgements
and estimates to be applied and these are regularly
reviewed and updated. Factors such as the availability
of geological and engineering data, reservoir
performance data, acquisition and divestment activity,
drilling of new wells, and commodity prices all impact
on the determination of the Company’s estimates of
its oil and natural gas reserves. The Company bases
it’s proved reserves estimates on the requirement
of reasonable certainty with rigorous technical and
commercial assessments based on conventional
industry practice and regulatory requirements.
Estimates of oil and natural gas reserves are used to
calculate depletion charges for the Company’s oil and
gas properties. The impact of changes in estimated
proved reserves is dealt with prospectively by amortising
the remaining carrying value of the asset over the
expected future production. Oil and natural gas reserves
also have a direct impact on the assessment of the
recoverability of asset carrying values reported in the
Financial Statements.
Details on proved reserves and production
both on product and geographical basis are
provided in Note 35.1.
(B) Decommissioning Liabilities
The liability for decommissioning costs is recognised
when the Company has an obligation to perform site
restoration activity. The recognition and measurement
of decommissioning provisions involves the use of
estimates and assumptions. These include; the timing
of abandonment of well and related facilities which
would depend upon the ultimate life of the field,
expected utilisation of assets by other fields, the scope
of abandonment activity and pre-tax rate applied
for discounting.

321
Notesto the Standalone Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March, 2022Integrated Annual Report 2021-22Reliance Industries Limited
(C) Property Plant and Equipment/ Intangible
Assets
Estimates are involved in determining the cost
attributable to bringing the assets to the location and
condition necessary for it to be capable of operating
in the manner intended by the management. Property,
Plant and Equipment/Intangible Assets are depreciated/
amortised over their estimated useful life, after taking
into account estimated residual value. Management
reviews the estimated useful life and residual values of
the assets annually in order to determine the amount
of depreciation/ amortisation to be recorded during
any reporting period. The useful life and residual values
are based on the Company’s historical experience
with similar assets and take into account anticipated
technological and future risks. The depreciation/
amortisation for future periods is revised if there are
significant changes from previous estimates.
(D) Recoverability of Trade Receivables
Judgments are required in assessing the recoverability
of overdue trade receivables and determining whether
a provision against those receivables is required. Factors
considered include the credit rating of the counterparty,
the amount and timing of anticipated future payments
and any possible actions that can be taken to mitigate
the risk of non-payment.
(E) Provisions
The timing of recognition and quantification of the
liability (including litigations) requires the application
of judgement to existing facts and circumstances,
which can be subject to change. The carrying amounts
of provisions and liabilities are reviewed regularly
and revised to take account of changing facts
and circumstances.
(F) Impairment of Financial and Non-
Financial Assets
The impairment provisions for Financial Assets are
based on assumptions about risk of default and
expected cash loss rates. The Company uses judgement
in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to
the impairment calculation, based on Company’s past
history, existing market conditions as well as forward-
looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
In case of non-financial assets, assessment of
impairment indicators involves consideration of
future risks. Further, the company estimates asset’s
recoverable amount, which is higher of an asset’s or
Cash Generating Units (CGU’s) fair value less costs of
disposal and its value in use.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash
flows are discounted to their present value using pre-tax
discount rate that reflects current market assessments
of the time value of money and the risks specific to the
asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal,
recent market transactions are taken into account, if
no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate
valuation model is used.
(G) Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets and
Liabilities
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for
deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses
for which there is probability of utilisation against the
future taxable profit. The Company uses judgement
to determine the amount of deferred tax that can be
recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of
future taxable profits and business developments.
(H) Fair Value Measurement
For estimates relating to fair value of financial
instruments refer note 38 of financial statements.
(I) Global Health Pandemic on Covid-19
The continuance of corona virus (COVID-19) pandemic
globally and in India is causing significant disturbance
and slowdown of economic activity. The Company’s
operations and revenue during the period were
impacted due to COVID-19. The Company has taken into
account the possible impact of COVID-19 in preparation
of financial statements, including its assessment of
recoverable value of its assets based on internal and
external information upto the date of approval of these
financial statements and current indicators of future
economic conditions.

of Plan Assets held, assessed risks, historical results of return on Plan Assets and the Company’s policy for Plan
Assets Management.
VII) The expected contributions for Defined Benefit Plan for the next financial year will be in line with FY 2021-22.
VIII) Sensitivity Analysis

possible changes of the assumptions occurring at end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions
constant. The result of Sensitivity analysis is given below:
Particulars
Change in rate of discounting (delta
effect of +/- 0.5%)
Change in rate of salary increase (delta
effect of -/+ 0.5%)

c) Fair Value on the grant date
The fair value at grant date is determined using “Black Scholes Model” which takes into account the exercise price, term
of the option, share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying shares, expected dividend yield
and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option.
Investment Risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate which is
determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds.
During the year, 90,000 options were granted under ESOS-2017. The model inputs for options granted during the year
ended 31st March, 2017, 31st March, 2021 and 31st March, 2022 included as mentioned below.
Interest Risk
A decrease in the bond interest rate will increase the plan liability; however, this will be partially offset
by an increase in the return on the plan’s debt investments.
Longevity Risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate
of the mortality of plan participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life
expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plan’s liability.
Salary Risk
The present value of the defined plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan
participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan’s liability.

35.3 The Government of India (GOI), by its letters dated 2nd May, 2012, 14th November, 2013, 10th July, 2014 and 3rd June, 2016 has
disallowed certain costs which the Production Sharing Contract (PSC), relating to Block KGDWN-98/3 entitles the Company
to recover. The Company continues to maintain that the 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 referred the issue to arbitration with GOI for resolution of disputes. The demand from the GOI of $ 165 million
(` 1,248 crore) being the Company’s share (total demand $ 247 million- ` 1,872 crore) towards additional Profit Petroleum has
been considered as contingent liability.
In supersession of 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, the GOI has directed the Company to instruct customers to deposit
differential revenue on gas sales from D1D3 field on account of the prices determined under the above 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 in Gas pool Account is ` 295 crore (net) as at
31st March, 2022 is disclosed under Other Non-Current Assets. Revenue has been recognised at the GOI notified prices in
respect of gas quantities sold from D1D3 field from 1st November, 2014. This amount in the Gas Pool Account has also been
challenged under cost recovery arbitration and is pending adjudication.
Tribunal has scheduled further procedural hearing in the matter.
35.4 (a) GOI sent a notice to the KG D6 Contractor on 4th November, 2016 asking the Contractor to deposit approximately US $1.55
billion on account of alleged gas migration from ONGC’s blocks. RIL, as Operator, for and on behalf of all constituents
of the Contractor, initiated arbitration proceedings against the GOI. The Arbitral Tribunal vide its Final Award dated 24th
July, 2018 upheld Contractor’s claims. GOI filed an Appeal under Section 34 of the Arbitration Act, against the Final Award
of the Arbitral Tribunal on 15th November, 2018 before the Hon’ble Delhi High Court. The Appeal is currently being heard
before the Hon’ble Delhi High Court.
(b) Arbitration was initiated by BG Exploration and Production India Limited and RIL (together the Claimants) against GOI
on 16th December, 2010 under the PSCs for Panna – Mukta and Tapti blocks due to difference in interpretation of certain
PSC provisions between Claimants and GOI. The Arbitral Tribunal by majority issued a final partial award (‘2016 FPA’),
and separately, two dissenting opinions in the matter on 12th October, 2016. Claimants challenged certain parts of the
2016 FPA before the English Courts, which delivered its judgment on 16th April, 2018 and remitted one of the challenged
issues back to the Arbitral Tribunal for reconsideration. The Arbitral Tribunal decided in favour of the Claimants in large
part vide its final partial award dated 1st October, 2018 (‘2018 FPA’). GOI and Claimants filed an appeal before the English
Commercial Court against this 2018 FPA. The English Commercial Court rejected GOI’s challenges to 2018 FPA and upheld
Claimants’ challenge in February 2020 and remitted the underlying issue in challenge back to the Arbitration Tribunal
for determination. On 29th January, 2021 the Tribunal issued a further final partial award on the remitted matter and GOI
has challenged the same before the English Commercial Court. Claimants have filed an application before the Arbitral
Tribunal seeking increase in the PSC Cost Recovery Limits and the same is sub-judice. Arbitral Tribunal is yet to schedule
the final re-computation of accounts phase of the arbitration, which will take place post determination of Claimants’
request for increase in cost recovery limit under the PSCs.
GOI has also filed an execution petition before the Hon’ble Delhi High Court under sections 47 and 49 of the Arbitration
and Conciliation Act, 1996 and Section 151 of the Civil Procedure Code, 1908 seeking enforcement and execution of the
2016 FPA, ignoring the judgments of English High Court and the subsequent Tribunal Awards. The Claimants contend that
GOI’s Execution Petition is not maintainable. GOI’s Execution Petition is currently sub judice before Delhi High Court.

(c) NTPC had filed a suit for specific performance of a contract for supply of natural gas by RIL before the Hon’ble Bombay
High Court. The main issue in dispute is whether a valid, concluded and binding contract exists between the parties for
supply of Natural Gas of 132 Trillion BTU annually for a period of 17 years. The matter is presently sub judice and RIL is of the
view that NTPC’s claim lacks merit and no binding contract for supply of gas was executed between NTPC and RIL.
Considering the complexity of above issues, the Company is of the view that any attempt for quantification of possible
exposure to the Company will have an effect of prejudicing Company’s legal position in the ongoing arbitration/
litigations. Moreover, the Company considers above demand/disputes as remote.

creditworthiness. Investment and other market exposures are managed against counterparty exposure limits. Credit
information is regularly shared between businesses and finance function, with a framework in place to quickly identify
and respond to cases of credit deterioration.
The company has a prudent and conservative process for managing its credit risk arising in the course of its business
activities. Credit risk is actively managed through Letters of Credit, Bank Guarantees, Parent Company Guarantees,
advance payments and factoring & forfaiting without recourse to the company to avoid concentration of risk. The
company restricts its fixed income investments to liquid securities carrying high credit rating.
iv) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk arises from the Company’s inability to meet its cash flow commitments on the due date. The company
maintains sufficient stock of cash, marketable securities and committed credit facilities. The company accesses global
and local financial markets to meet its liquidity requirements. It uses a range of products and a mix of currencies to
ensure efficient funding from across well-diversified markets and investor pools. Treasury monitors rolling forecasts
of the company’s cash flow position and ensures that the company is able to meet its financial obligation at all times
including contingencies.

The company’s liquidity is managed centrally with operating units forecasting their cash and liquidity requirements.
Treasury pools the cash surpluses from across the different operating units and then arranges to either fund the net
deficit or invest the net surplus in a range of short-dated, secure and liquid instruments including short-term bank
deposits, money market funds, reverse repos and similar instruments. The portfolio of these investments is diversified to
avoid concentration risk in any one instrument or counterparty.

C. Hedge Accounting
The Company’s business objective includes safe-guarding its earnings against adverse price movements of crude oil
and other feedstock, refined products, freight costs as well as foreign exchange and interest rates. The Company has
adopted a structured risk management policy to hedge all these risks within an acceptable risk limit and an approved
hedge accounting framework which allows for Fair Value and Cash Flow hedges. Hedging instruments include exchange
traded futures and options, over-the-counter swaps, forwards and options as well as non-derivative instruments to achieve
this objective.
There is an economic relationship between the hedged items and the hedging instruments. The Company has established a
hedge ratio of 1:1 for the hedging relationships. To test the hedge effectiveness, the Company uses the hypothetical derivative
method and Dollar offset method.
The hedge ineffectiveness can arise from:
- Differences in the timing of the cash flows.
- Different indexes (and accordingly different curves).
- The counterparties’ credit risk differently impacting the fair value movements.

We have audited the accompanying Consolidated

In our opinion and to the best of our information and
according to the explanations given to us and based on
the consideration of reports of other auditors on separate
financial statements and on the other financial information
of the subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, the
aforesaid Consolidated Financial Statements give the

equity for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of the Consolidated Financial
Statements in accordance with the Standards on
Auditing (SAs), as specified under section 143(10) of the
Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further
described in the ‘Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit
of the Consolidated Financial Statements’ section of our

ventures in accordance with the ‘Code of Ethics’ issued by
the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with
the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of
the financial statements under the provisions of the Act and
the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with these requirements
and the Code of Ethics. 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.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the
Consolidated Financial Statements for the financial year
ended March 31, 2022. These matters were addressed
in the context of our audit of the Consolidated Financial
Statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon,
and we do not provide a separate opinion on these
matters. For each matter below, our description of how our
audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.
We have determined the matters described below to be
the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Consolidated
Financial Statements section of our report, including in
relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included
the performance of procedures designed to respond
to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement
of the Consolidated Financial Statements. The results of
audit procedures performed by us and by other auditors
of components not audited by us, as reported by them in
their audit reports furnished to us by the management,
including those procedures performed to address the
matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on
the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.

Key audit matters
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Re-assessment of estimated useful lives by the Holding
Company used for determination of depreciation of
tangible assets, amortisation of intangible assets and
recoverability of their carrying values involves assumptions
used for such technical assessment, consideration of
historical experience and anticipated future risks.
Estimates of oil and gas reserves are used to calculate
depletion charges for the Holding Company's oil and gas
assets and also have a direct impact on the assessment
of the recoverability of their carrying values. Factors such
as the availability of geological and engineering data,
reservoir performance data, acquisition and divestment
activity, drilling of new wells and commodity prices impacts
the determination of the Holding Company's estimates of
oil and natural gas reserves.
The auditors in the Combined Financial Statements of Shale
Gas Entities (USA) of Reliance Industries Limited have also
reported a key audit matter on the estimates of oil and gas
reserves topic.
The auditors of Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited ('RJIL'), a
subsidiary of the Holding Company, have reported a key
audit matter on amortization / depreciation of spectrum
costs and related tangible assets as it is a material
item on the balance sheet of the subsidiary in value
terms. Spectrum costs and the related tangible assets
are amortised/depreciated to appropriately reflect the
expected pattern of consumption of expected future
economic benefits from continued use of the said assets.
Determination of rate of amortisation/ depreciation in
order to ensure compliance with the applicable Accounting
Standards involve significant estimates and judgement
and use of technology. Accordingly, it has been considered
as a key audit matter.
b)
c)
d)
The auditors of Jio Platform Limited ('JPL'), a subsidiary of
the Holding Company have reported capitalization under
Intangible Assets under Development as key audit matter
as significant judgement is involved in identification of
expenses that are directly attributable and reasonably
allocable to development of intangible assets and timing
of capitalization. Accordingly, it has been considered as a
key audit matter.
Accordingly, the above matters relating to tangible and
intangible assets have been considered as a key audit matter.
Refer Note B.3 (c), B.3 (e) and Note C (a) of the Consolidated
Financial Statements.
• Assessed the nature of the additions made to property,
plant and equipment, intangible assets, capital work-in-
progress and intangible asset under development on a
test check basis to test whether they meet the recognition
criteria as set out in Ind AS 16 – Property, Plant and
Equipment and Ind AS 38 – Intangible Assets, including
intended use of management.
• Reviewed the management re-assessment of estimated
useful lives of tangible assets, intangible assets and
recoverability of their carrying values with respect to
anticipated future risks.
• Performed walk-through of the estimation process
associated with the oil and gas reserves. Further,
assessed the valuation methodology, including
assumptions around the key drivers of the cash flow
forecasts including future oil and gas prices, estimated
reserves, discount rates used, etc. by engaging
valuation experts.
• Assessed the objectivity and competence of the Holding
Company’s specialists involved in estimating oil & gas
reserves and valuation specialists engaged by us.
• Assessed whether the updated oil and gas reserve
estimates were included in the Holding Company’s,
accounting for amortisation / depletion and disclosures
of proved reserves and proved developed reserves in the
financial statements.
• Reviewed the disclosure made by the Holding Company
in the financial statements.
b)
In respect of the key audit matter reported by the auditors
in the Combined Financial Statements of Shale Gas Entities
(USA) of Reliance Industries Limited, we performed inquiry
of the audit procedures performed by them to address the
key audit matter. As reported by the subsidiary auditor, the
following procedures have been performed by them: -
• Performed procedures in relation to the approach used;
test of controls performed with regard to data input
into the system for calculation of oil and gas reserves
including the testing of IT controls and information
provided by the entity (IPE) on the IT application used
for reserve and well data management; competence

so, evaluated and assessed the the reversal of obligation
towards onerous contracts.
• Reviewed the disclosures made in the Financial Statements.
IT systems and controls over financial reporting
We identified IT systems and controls over financial reporting
as a key audit matter for the Holding Company because its
financial accounting and reporting systems are fundamentally
reliant on IT systems and IT controls to process significant
transaction volumes, specifically with respect to revenue and
raw material consumption. Also, due to such large transaction
volumes and the increasing challenge to protect the integrity
of the Holding Company’s systems and data, cyber security
has become more significant.
Automated accounting procedures and IT environment
controls, which include IT governance, IT general controls over
program development and changes, access to program and
data and IT operations, IT application controls and interfaces
between IT applications are required to be designed and to
operate effectively to ensure accurate financial reporting.
Our procedures included and were not limited to the following:
• Assessed the complexity of the IT environment by engaging
IT specialists and through discussion with the head of IT
and internal audit and identified IT applications that are
relevant to our audit.
• Assessed the design and evaluation of the operating
effectiveness of IT general controls over program
development and changes, access to program and data and
IT operations by engaging IT specialists.
• Performed inquiry procedures with the head of cybersecurity
at the Holding Company in respect of the overall security
architecture and any key threats addressed by the Company
in the current year.

Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon
The Holding Company’s Board of Directors is responsible
for the other information. The other information comprises
the information included in the Annual report, but does not
include the Consolidated Financial Statements and our
auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements does
not cover the other information and we do not express any
form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Consolidated Financial
Statements, our responsibility is to read the other information
and, in doing so, consider whether such other information
is materially inconsistent with the Consolidated Financial
Statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or
otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the
work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material
misstatement of this other information, we are required to
report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management for the
Consolidated Financial Statements
The Holding Company’s Board of Directors is responsible
for the preparation and presentation of these Consolidated
Financial Statements in terms of the requirements of the Act
that give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial
position, consolidated financial performance including
other comprehensive income, consolidated cash flows and
consolidated statement of changes in equity of the Group
including its associates and joint ventures in accordance
with the accounting principles generally accepted in India,
including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified
under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies
(Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended. The
respective Board of Directors of the companies included
in the Group and of its associates and joint ventures are
responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records
in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding
of the assets of the Group and of its associates and joint
ventures 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 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, which
have been used for the purpose of preparation of the
Consolidated Financial Statements by the Directors of the
Holding Company, as aforesaid.
In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, the
respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the
Group and of its associates and joint ventures are responsible
for assessing the ability of the Group and of its associates
and joint ventures to continue as a going concern, disclosing,
as applicable, matters related to going concern and using
the going concern basis of accounting unless management
either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or
has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those respective Board of Directors of the companies
included in the Group and of its associates and joint ventures
are also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting
process of the Group and of its associates and joint ventures.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of
the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud
or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance,
but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance

with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it
exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they
could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of these Consolidated
Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise
professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism
throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the
Consolidated Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or
error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to
those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not
detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is
higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve
collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations,
or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to
the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of
the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion
on whether the Holding Company has adequate internal
financial controls with reference to financial statements in
place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used
and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use
of the going concern basis of accounting and, based
on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material
uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that
may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Group and
its associates and joint ventures to continue as a going
concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists,
we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report
to the related disclosures in the Consolidated Financial
Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to
modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit
evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report.
However, future events or conditions may cause the Group
and its associates and joint ventures to cease to continue
as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content
of the Consolidated Financial Statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the Consolidated Financial
Statements represent the underlying transactions and
events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the
financial information of the entities or business activities
within the Group and its associates and joint ventures of
which we are the independent auditors, to express an
opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements. We are
responsible for the direction, supervision and performance
of the audit of the financial statements of such entities
included in the Consolidated Financial Statements of which
we are the independent auditors. For the other entities
included in the Consolidated Financial Statements, which
have been audited by other auditors, such other auditors
remain responsible for the direction, supervision and
performance of the audits carried out by them. We remain
solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance of
the Holding Company and such other entities included in
the Consolidated Financial Statements of which we are the
independent auditors regarding, among other matters, the
planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit
findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal
control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a
statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate
with them all relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and
where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with
governance, we determine those matters that were of
most significance in the audit of the Consolidated Financial
Statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2022 and
are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters
in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes
public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely
rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should
not be communicated in our report because the adverse
consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to
outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Integrated Annual Report 2021-22Reliance Industries Limited
Consolidated Independent Auditor’s Report
Annexure 2
To the Independent Auditors’ Report of even date on the Consolidated Financial Statements of Reliance Industries Limited
Report on the Internal Financial
Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section
3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act,
2013 (“the Act”)
In conjunction with our audit of the Consolidated Financial
Statements of Reliance Industries Limited which includes
joint operations (hereinafter referred to as the “Holding
Company”) as of and for the year ended March 31, 2022, we
have audited the internal financial controls with reference
to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Holding
Company and its subsidiaries (the Holding Company
and its subsidiaries together referred to as “the Group”)
, its associates and joint ventures, which are companies
incorporated in India, as of that date.
Management’s Responsibility for
Internal Financial Controls
The respective Board of Directors of the companies
included in the Group, its associates and joint ventures,
which are companies incorporated in India, are responsible
for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls
based on the internal control over financial reporting
criteria established by the Holding Company considering
the essential components of internal control stated in the
Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over
Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India (ICAI). These responsibilities include
the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate
internal financial controls that were operating effectively for
ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business,
including adherence to the respective company’s policies,
the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection
of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness
of the accounting records, and the timely preparation
of reliable financial information, as required under the
Companies Act, 2013.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Holding
Company's , its subsidiaries, its associates and joint
ventures, which are incorporated in India, internal
financial controls with reference to Consolidated Financial
Statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit
in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal
Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance
Note”) and the Standards on Auditing, specified under
section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an
audit of internal financial controls, both, issued by ICAI.
Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we
comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform
390
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
adequate internal financial controls with reference to
Consolidated Financial Statements was established and
maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all
material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain
audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal
financial controls with reference to Consolidated Financial
Statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of
internal financial controls with reference to consolidated
financial statements included obtaining an understanding
of internal financial controls with reference to Consolidated
Financial Statements, assessing the risk that a material
weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design
and operating effectiveness of internal control based on
the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on
the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the
risks of material misstatement of the financial statements,
whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained and
the audit evidence obtained by the other auditors in terms
of their reports referred to in the Other Matters paragraph
below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinion on the internal financial controls with
reference to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls
with reference to Consolidated
Financial Statements
A company's internal financial control with reference to
Consolidated Financial Statements is a process designed
to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. A company's
internal financial control with reference to Consolidated
Financial Statements includes those policies and
procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records
that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures
of the company are being made only in accordance
with authorisations of management and directors of the
company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding
prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition,
use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have
a material effect on the financial statements.

Consolidated
Inherent Limitations of Internal
Financial Controls With Reference to
Consolidated Financial Statements
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial
controls with reference to Consolidated Financial
Statements, including the possibility of collusion or
improper management override of controls, material
misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be
detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal
financial controls with reference to consolidated financial
statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the
internal financial controls with reference to consolidated
financial statements may become inadequate because
of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, the Group , its associates and joint
ventures, which are companies incorporated in India,
have, maintained in all material respects, adequate
internal financial controls with reference to Consolidated
Financial Statements and such internal financial controls
with reference to consolidated financial statements were
operating effectively as at March 31, 2022, based on the
internal control over financial reporting criteria established
by the Holding Company considering the essential
components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note
issued by the ICAI.
Other Matters
Our report under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act on the
adequacy and operating effectiveness of the internal
financial controls with reference to Consolidated Financial
Statements of the Holding Company, in so far as it relates to
these 197 subsidiaries, 52 associates and 16 joint ventures,
which are companies incorporated in India, is based on the
corresponding reports of the auditors of such subsidiaries,
associates and joint ventures incorporated in India.

and associates consist of activities spanning across
Oil to Chemicals (O2C), Oil and Gas, Retail, Digital
Services and Financial Services. Further details about
the business operations of the Group are provided in
Note 38 – Segment Information.
B. Significant Accounting Policies
B.1 Basis of Preparation and Presentation
The Consolidated Financial Statements have been
prepared on the historical cost basis except for the
following assets and liabilities which have been
measured at fair value:
i.
Certain financial assets and liabilities (including
derivative instruments),
ii.
Defined Benefit Plan’s – Plan Assets and
iii.
Equity settled Share Based Payments
The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group
have been prepared in accordance with Indian
Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under the
Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015
(as amended from time to time) and presentation
requirements of Division II of Schedule III to the
Companies Act, 2013, (Ind AS compliant Schedule III), as
applicable to the CFS.
The Consolidated Financial Statements comprises
of Reliance Industries Limited and all its subsidiaries,
being the entities that it controls. Control is assessed
in accordance with the requirement of Ind AS 110 –
Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Consolidated Financial Statements are presented
in Indian Rupees (`) and all values are rounded
to the nearest crore (` 00,00,000), except when
otherwise indicated.
B.2 Principles of Consolidation
(a) The financial statements of the Holding Company
and its subsidiaries are combined on a line-by-
line basis by adding together like items of assets,
liabilities, equity, incomes, expenses and cash
flows, after fully eliminating intra-group balances
and intragroup transactions.
398
(b) Profits or losses resulting from intra-group
transactions that are recognised in assets, such as
Inventory and Property, Plant and Equipment, are
eliminated in full.
(c)
In case of foreign subsidiaries, 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 Foreign Currency Translation
Reserve (FCTR).
(d) The audited / unaudited financial statements of
foreign subsidiaries / joint ventures / associates
have been prepared in accordance with the
Generally Accepted Accounting Principle of its
Country of Incorporation or Ind AS.
(e)
The differences in accounting policies of the
Holding Company and its subsidiaries / joint
ventures / associates are not material and there
are no material transactions from 1st January, 2022
to 31st March, 2022 in respect of subsidiaries / joint
ventures / associates having financial year ended
31st December, 2021.
(f)
The Consolidated Financial Statements have
been prepared using uniform accounting
policies for like transactions and other events in
similar circumstances.
(g) The carrying amount of the parent’s investment in
each subsidiary is offset (eliminated) against the
parent’s portion of equity in each subsidiary.
(h) The difference between the proceeds from
disposal of investment in subsidiaries and the
carrying amount of its assets less liabilities
as on the date of disposal is recognised in
the Consolidated Statement of Profit and
Loss being the profit or loss on disposal of
investment in subsidiary.
(i)
(j)
Investment in Associates and Joint Ventures has
been accounted under the Equity Method as per
Ind AS 28 – Investments in Associates and Joint
Ventures. Investments in joint operations are
accounted using the Proportionate Consolidation
Method as per Ind AS 111 – Joint Arrangements.
The Group accounts for its share of post-
acquisition changes in net assets of associates
and joint ventures, after eliminating unrealised
profits and losses resulting from transactions
between the Group and its associates and
joint ventures.
(k)
Non-Controlling Interest’s share of profit / loss 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.

B.3 Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies
(a) Current and Non-Current Classification
The Group presents assets and liabilities in the
Balance Sheet based on Current / Non-Current
classification.
An asset is treated as Current when it is –
-
-
-
-
Expected to be realised or intended to be sold
or consumed in normal operating cycle;
Held primarily for the purpose of trading;
Expected to be realised within twelve months
after the reporting period, or
Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted
from being exchanged or used to settle a
liability for at least twelve months after the
reporting period.
All other assets are classified as Non-Current.
A liability is treated as Current when –
-
-
-
-
It is expected to be settled in normal
operating cycle;
It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
It is due to be settled within twelve months
after the reporting period, or
There is no unconditional right to defer the
settlement of the liability for at least twelve
months after the reporting period.
The Group classifies all other liabilities
as Non-Current.
Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities are classified as
Non-Current Assets and Liabilities
(b) Business Combination
Business Combinations are accounted for using
the acquisition method of accounting, except
for common control transactions which are
accounted using the pooling of interest method
that is accounted at carrying values.
The cost of an acquisition is measured at the fair
value of the assets transferred, equity instruments
issued and liabilities assumed at their acquisition
date i.e. the date on which control is acquired.
Contingent consideration to be transferred
is recognised at fair value and included as
part of cost of acquisition. Transaction related
costs are expensed in the period in which the
costs are incurred.
For each business combination, the Group elects
whether to measure the non-controlling interests
in the acquiree at fair value or at the proportionate
share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets.
Goodwill arising on business combination is
initially measured at cost, being the excess of
the aggregate of the consideration transferred
and the amount recognised for non-controlling
interests, and any previous interest held, over
the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired
and liabilities assumed. After initial recognition,
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually
and measured at cost less any accumulated
impairment losses if any.
Common control business combination: Business
combinations involving entities or businesses that
are controlled by the group are accounted using
the pooling of interest method.
(c) Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, Plant and Equipment are stated at cost,
net of recoverable taxes, trade discount and
rebates less accumulated depreciation and
impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes
purchase price, borrowing cost and any cost
directly attributable to bringing the assets to its
working condition for its intended use, net charges
on foreign exchange contracts and adjustments
arising from exchange rate variations attributable
to the assets. In case of land the Group has
availed fair value as deemed cost on the date of
transition to Ind AS.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s
carrying amount or recognised as a separate
asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable
that future economic benefits associated with
the item will flow to the entity and the cost can be
measured reliably. Property, Plant and Equipment
which are significant to the total cost of that item of
Property, Plant and Equipment and having different
useful life are accounted separately. Other Indirect
Expenses incurred relating to project, net of income
earned during the project development stage
prior to its intended use, are considered as pre-
operative expenses and disclosed under Capital
Work-in-Progress.
Depreciation on Property, Plant and Equipment
is provided using written down value method on
depreciable amount except in case of certain
assets of Oil to Chemicals segment which
are depreciated using straight line method.
Depreciation on wireless telecommunications
equipment and components is determined based
on the expected pattern of consumption of the
expected future economic benefits. Depreciation
is provided based on useful life of the assets as
prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act,
399
Notesto the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March, 2022Integrated Annual Report 2021-22Reliance Industries Limited

where useful life is different than those prescribed
in Schedule II.

Land (range upto 99 years)
Over the

(useful life: 25 to 50 years)
Over its useful life as
technically assessed
The residual values, useful lives and methods of
depreciation of Property, Plant and Equipment are
reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted
prospectively, if appropriate. Gains or losses
arising from derecognition of a Property, Plant
and Equipment are measured as the difference
between the net disposal proceeds and the
carrying amount of the asset and are recognised
in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss
when the asset is derecognised.
(d) Leases
The Group, as a lessee, recognises a right-of-
use asset and a lease liability for its leasing
arrangements, if the contract conveys the right to
control the use of an identified asset.
The contract conveys the right to control the use
of an identified asset, if it involves the use of an
identified asset and the Group has substantially all
of the economic benefits from use of the asset and
has right to direct the use of the identified asset.
The cost of the right-of-use asset shall comprise
of the amount of the initial measurement of the
lease liability adjusted for any lease payments
made at or before the commencement date plus
any initial direct costs incurred. The right-of-use
assets is subsequently measured at cost less
any accumulated depreciation, accumulated
impairment losses, if any and adjusted for any
remeasurement of the lease liability. The right-
of-use asset is depreciated using the straight-
line method from the commencement date
over the shorter of lease term or useful life of
right-of-use asset.
The Group measures the lease liability at the
present value of the lease payments that are not
paid at the commencement date of the lease.
The lease payments are discounted using the
interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can
be readily determined. If that rate cannot be
readily determined, the Group uses incremental
borrowing rate.
For short-term and low value leases, the
Group recognises the lease payments as an
operating expense on a straight-line basis over
the lease term.
The Group, as a lessor, classifies a lease either as
an operating lease or a finance lease. Leases are
classified as finance lease whenever the terms
of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and
rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases
are classified as operating leases.
(e) Other Intangible Assets
Other Intangible Assets are stated at cost of
acquisition net of recoverable taxes, trade discount
and rebates less accumulated amortisation /
depletion and impairment loss, if any. Such cost
includes purchase price, borrowing costs, and any
cost directly attributable for preparing the asset for
its intended use, net charges on foreign exchange
contracts and adjustments arising from exchange
rate variations attributable to the Other Intangible
Assets. In case of certain Other Intangible Assets,
the Group has availed fair value as deemed cost
on the date of transition to Ind AS.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s
carrying amount or recognised as a separate
asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable
that future economic benefits associated with
the item will flow to the entity and the cost can be
measured reliably.
Other Indirect Expenses incurred relating to
project, net of income earned during the project
development stage prior to its intended use,
are considered as pre-operative expenses
and disclosed under Intangible Assets
under Development.
Gains or losses arising from derecognition of
an Other Intangible Asset are measured as the
difference between the net disposal proceeds
and the carrying amount of the asset and are
recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit
and Loss when the asset is derecognised.
The Group’s Other Intangible Assets include assets
with finite and indefinite useful life. Assets with
finite useful life are amortised on a straight-line
basis over their expected useful life and assets
with indefinite useful lives are not amortised but
are tested for impairment annually at the cash
generating unit level.
A summary of the amortisation / depletion policies
applied to the Group’s Other Intangible Assets to
the extent of depreciable amount is as follows.

The amortisation period and the amortisation
method for Other Intangible Assets with a finite
useful life are reviewed at each reporting date.
(f) Research and Development Expenditure
Revenue expenditure pertaining to research is
charged to the Consolidated Statement of Profit
and Loss as and when incurred. Development
costs are capitalised as an intangible asset if it can
be demonstrated that the project is expected to
generate future economic benefits, it is probable
that those future economic benefits will flow to the
entity and the costs of the asset can be measured
reliably, else it is charged to the Consolidated
Statement of Profit and Loss.
(g) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and Cash Equivalents comprise of cash
on hand, cash at bank, short-term deposits and
short-term highly liquid investments that are
readily convertible to known amounts of cash
and which are subject to an insignificant risk of
changes in value.
(h) Finance Costs
Borrowing costs include exchange differences
arising from foreign currency borrowings to the
extent they are regarded as an adjustment to
the interest cost. Borrowing costs that are directly
attributable to the acquisition or construction
of qualifying assets are capitalised as part of
the cost of such assets. A qualifying asset is
one that necessarily takes substantial period of
time to get ready for its intended use. Interest
income earned on the temporary investment of
specific borrowings pending their expenditure on
qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing
costs eligible for capitalisation.
All other borrowing costs are charged to the
Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss for the
period for which they are incurred.
(i) Inventories
Items of inventories are measured at lower of
cost and net realisable value after providing
for obsolescence, if any, except in case of by-
products which are valued at net realisable
value. Cost of inventories comprises of cost of
purchase, cost of conversion and other costs
including manufacturing overheads net of
recoverable taxes incurred in bringing them to their
respective present location and condition. Cost of
finished goods, work-in-progress, raw materials,
chemicals, stores and spares, packing materials,
trading and other products are determined on
weighted average basis.
(j)
Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
— Property, Plant and Equipment,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
The Group assesses at each reporting date
as to whether there is any indication that any
Property, Plant and Equipment, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets or group of assets, called Cash
Generating Units (CGU) may be impaired. If any
such indication exists, the recoverable amount
of an asset or CGU is estimated to determine
the extent of impairment, if any. When it is not
possible to estimate the recoverable amount
of an individual asset, the Group estimates
the recoverable amount of the CGU to which
the asset belongs.
An impairment loss is recognised in the
Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss to
the extent, asset’s carrying amount exceeds its
recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is
higher of an asset’s fair value less cost of disposal
and value in use. Value in use is based on the
estimated future cash flows, discounted to their
present value using pre-tax discount rate that
reflects current market assessments of the time
value of money and risk specific to the assets. The
impairment loss recognised in prior accounting
period is reversed if there has been a change in
the estimate of recoverable amount.
(k) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has
a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a
401
Notesto the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March, 2022Integrated Annual Report 2021-22Reliance Industries Limited
result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow
of resources embodying economic benefits
will be required to settle the obligation and a
reliable estimate can be made of the amount
of the obligation. If the effect of the time value
of money is material, provisions are discounted
using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when
appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When
discounting is used, the increase in the provision
due to the passage of time is recognised as
a finance cost.
Provision for Decommissioning Liability
The Group records a provision for
decommissioning costs towards site restoration
activity. Decommissioning costs are provided
at the present value of future expenditure using
a current pre-tax rate expected to be incurred
to fulfill decommissioning obligations and are
recognised as part of the cost of the underlying
assets. Any change in the present value of the
expenditure, other than unwinding of discount
on the provision, is reflected as adjustment to
the provision and the corresponding asset. The
change in the provision due to the unwinding
of discount is recognised in the Consolidated
Statement of Profit and Loss.
(l) Contingent Liability
Disclosure of contingent liability is made when
there is a possible obligation arising from past
events, the existence of which will be confirmed
only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one
or more uncertain future events not wholly within
the control of the Group or a present obligation
that arises from past events where it is either not
probable that an outflow of resources embodying
economic benefits will be required to settle or a
reliable estimate of amount cannot be made.
(m) Employee Benefits Expense
Short-Term Employee Benefits
The undiscounted amount of short-term employee
benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the
services rendered by employees are recognised
as an expense during the period when the
employees render the services.
Post-Employment Benefits
Defined Contribution Plans
The Group recognises contribution payable to
the provident fund scheme as an expense, when
an employee renders the related service. If the
contribution payable to the scheme for service
received before the balance sheet date exceeds
the contribution already paid, the deficit payable
to the scheme is recognised as a liability. If the
contribution already paid exceeds the contribution
402
due for services received before the balance sheet
date, then excess is recognised as an asset to
the extent that the pre-payment will lead to, for
example, a reduction in future payment or refund.
Defined Benefit Plans
The Group pays gratuity to the employees who
have completed five years of service at the time
of resignation / superannuation. The gratuity is
paid @15 days basic salary for every completed
year of service as per the Payment of Gratuity Act,
1972. The gratuity liability amount is contributed to
the approved gratuity fund formed exclusively for
gratuity payment to the employees. The gratuity
fund has been approved by respective Income
Tax authorities. The liability in respect of gratuity
and other post-employment benefits is calculated
using the Projected Unit Credit Method and
spread over the period during which the benefit is
expected to be derived from employees’ services.
Remeasurement gains and losses arising
from adjustments and changes in actuarial
assumptions are recognised in the period in which
they occur, in Other Comprehensive Income.
Employee Separation Costs
The Group recognises the employee separation
cost when the scheme is announced and the
Group is demonstrably committed to it.
(n) Tax Expenses
The tax expenses for the period comprises of
Current Tax and Deferred Income Tax. Tax is
recognised in Consolidated Statement of Profit and
Loss, except to the extent that it relates to items
recognised in the Other Comprehensive Income.
In which case, the tax is also recognised in Other
Comprehensive Income.
i. Current Tax
Current tax assets and liabilities are measured
at the amount expected to be recovered from
or paid to the taxation authorities, based on
tax rates and laws that are enacted at the
Balance sheet date.
ii. Deferred Tax
Deferred Tax is recognised on temporary
differences between the carrying amounts
of assets and liabilities in the financial
statements and the corresponding tax bases
used in the computation of taxable profit.
Deferred Tax Assets are recognised to the
extent it is probable that taxable profit will
be available against which the deductible
temporary differences, and the carry forward
of unused tax losses can be utilised. Deferred
Tax Liabilities and Assets are measured at the

tax rates that are expected to apply in the
period in which the liability is settled or the
asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax
laws) that have been enacted or substantively
enacted by the end of the reporting period.
The carrying amount of deferred tax liabilities
and assets are reviewed at the end of each
reporting period.
(o) Share Based Payments
Equity-settled share based payments to
employees and others providing similar services
are measured at the fair value of the equity
instruments at the grant date. Details regarding
the determination of the fair value of equity-
settled share based payments transactions are
set out in Note 28.2. The fair value determined at
the grant date of the equity-settled share based
payments is expensed on a straight line basis over
the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate
of equity instruments that will eventually vest,
with a corresponding increase in equity. At the
end of each reporting period, the Group revises
its estimate of the number of equity instruments
expected to vest. The impact of the revision of
the original estimates, if any, is recognised in
Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss such
that the cumulative expenses reflects the revised
estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the
Share Based Payments Reserve. The dilutive effect
of outstanding options is reflected as additional
share dilution in the computation of diluted
earnings per share.
(p) Foreign Currencies Transactions and
Translation
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded
at the exchange rate prevailing on the date
of transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are translated
at the functional currency’s closing rates of
exchange at the reporting date.
Exchange differences arising on settlement or
translation of monetary items are recognised in
Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss except
to the extent of exchange differences which are
regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on
foreign currency borrowings that are directly
attributable to the acquisition or construction of
qualifying assets, are capitalised as cost of assets.
Additionally, exchange gains or losses on foreign
currency borrowings taken prior to April 1, 2016,
which are related to the acquisition or construction
of qualifying assets are adjusted in the carrying
cost of such assets.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms
of historical cost in a foreign currency are recorded
using the exchange rates at the date of the
transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair
value in a foreign currency are translated using the
exchange rates at the date when the fair value was
measured. The gain or loss arising on translation
of non-monetary items measured at fair value
is treated in line with the recognition of the gain
or loss on the change in fair value of the item (i.e.
translation differences on items whose fair value
gain or loss is recognised in Other Comprehensive
Income or Statement of Profit and Loss are also
recognised in Other Comprehensive Income or
Statement of Profit and Loss, respectively).
In case of an asset, expense or income where
a non-monetary advance is paid / received,
the date of transaction is the date on which the
advance was initially recognised. If there were
multiple payments or receipts in advance, multiple
dates of transactions are determined for each
payment or receipt of advance consideration.
(q) Revenue Recognition
Revenue from contracts with customers is
recognised when control of the goods or services
are transferred to the customer at an amount that
reflects the consideration entitled in exchange for
those goods or services. The Group is generally
the principal as it typically controls the goods or
services before transferring them to the customer.
Generally, control is transferred upon shipment of
goods to the customer or when the goods is made
available to the customer, provided transfer of title
to the customer occurs and the Group has not
retained any significant risks of ownership or future
obligations with respect to the goods shipped.
Revenue from rendering of services is recognised
over time by measuring the progress towards
complete satisfaction of performance obligations
at the reporting period.
Revenue is measured at the amount of
consideration which the group expects to be
entitled to in exchange for transferring distinct
goods or services to a customer as specified in the
contract, excluding amounts collected on behalf
of third parties (for example taxes and duties
collected on behalf of the government).
Consideration is generally due upon satisfaction
of performance obligations and a receivable
is recognised when it becomes unconditional.
Generally, the credit period varies between 0-60
days from the shipment or delivery of goods or
services as the case may be.
The Group provides volume rebates to certain
customers once the quantity of products
purchased during the period exceeds a threshold
specified and also accrues discounts to certain
customers based on customary business
403
Notesto the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March, 2022Integrated Annual Report 2021-22Reliance Industries Limited
practices which is derived on the basis of crude
price volatility and various market demand –
supply situations. Consideration are determined
based on its most likely amount.
Generally, sales of petroleum products contain
provisional pricing features where revenue is
initially recognised based on provisional price.
Difference between final settlement price and
provisional price is recognised subsequently.
The Group does not adjust short-term advances
received from the customer for the effects of
significant financing component if it is expected at
the contract inception that the promised good or
service will be transferred to the customer within a
period of one year.
Contract Balances
Trade Receivables
A receivable represents the Group’s right to an
amount of consideration that is unconditional.
Contract Liabilities
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer
goods or services to a customer for which the
Group has received consideration or is due from
the customer. If a customer pays consideration
before the Group transfers goods or services to
the customer, a contract liability is recognised
when the payment is made or the payment is
due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are
recognised as revenue when the Group performs
under the contract.
Interest Income
Interest Income from a financial asset is
recognised using Effective Interest Rate Method.
Dividend Income
Dividend Income is recognised when the Group’s
right to receive the amount has been established.
(r) Financial Instruments
i. Financial Assets
A. Initial Recognition and Measurement
All financial assets are initially recognised at
fair value. Transaction costs that are directly
attributable to the acquisition or issue of
financial assets, which are not at Fair Value
Through Profit or Loss, are adjusted to the fair
value on initial recognition. Purchase and sale
of financial assets are recognised using trade
date accounting.
404
B. Subsequent Measurement
a)
Financial assets measured at
Amortised Cost (AC)
A financial asset is measured at Amortised
Cost if it is held within a business model whose
objective is to hold the asset in order to collect
contractual cash flows and the contractual
terms of the financial asset give rise to cash
flows on specified dates that represent solely
payments of principal and interest on the
principal amount outstanding.
b)
Financial Assets measured at Fair
Value Through Other Comprehensive
Income (FVTOCI)
A financial asset is measured at FVTOCI if it is
held within a business model whose objective
is achieved by both collecting contractual
cash flows and selling financial assets and
the contractual terms of the financial asset
give rise on specified dates to cash flows that
represent solely payments of principal and
interest on the principal amount outstanding.
c)
Financial Assets measured at Fair Value
Through Profit or Loss (FVTPL)
A financial asset which is not classified
in any of the above categories are
measured at FVTPL.
Financial assets are reclassified subsequent
to their recognition, if the Group changes its
business model for managing those financial
assets. Changes in business model are
made and applied prospectively from the
reclassification date which is the first day of
immediately next reporting period following
the changes in business model in accordance
with principles laid down under Ind AS 109 –
Financial Instruments.
C. Other Equity Investments
All other equity investments are measured
at fair value, with value changes recognised
in Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss,
except for those equity investments for which
the Group has elected to present the value
changes in ‘Other Comprehensive Income’.
However, dividend on such equity investments
is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss
when the Company’s right to receive payment
is established.
D. Impairment of Financial Assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Group
uses ‘Expected Credit Loss’ (ECL) model, for
Corporate

Management
Review

Statements
Consolidated
evaluating impairment of financial assets
other than those measured at Fair Value
Through Profit and Loss (FVTPL). Expected
Credit Losses are measured through a loss
allowance at an amount equal to:
• The 12-months expected credit losses
(expected credit losses that result from
those default events on the financial
instrument that are possible within 12
months after the reporting date); or
• Full lifetime expected credit losses
(expected credit losses that result from all
possible default events over the life of the
financial instrument).
For trade receivables, the Group applies
‘simplified approach’ which requires
expected lifetime losses to be recognised
from initial recognition of the receivables.
The Group uses historical default rates to
determine impairment loss on the portfolio
of trade receivables. At every reporting date
these historical default rates are reviewed
and changes in the forward-looking
estimates are analysed.
For other assets, the Group uses 12 month
Expected Credit Loss to provide for
impairment loss where there is no significant
increase in credit risk. If there is significant
increase in credit risk full lifetime Expected
Credit Loss is used.
ii. Financial Liabilities
A. Initial Recognition and Measurement
All financial liabilities are recognised at fair
value and in case of borrowings, net of directly
attributable cost. Fees of recurring nature
are directly recognised in the Consolidated
Statement of Profit and Loss as finance cost.
B. Subsequent Measurement
Financial Liabilities are carried at amortised
cost using the effective interest method. For
trade and other payables maturing within one
year from the balance sheet date, the carrying
amounts approximate fair value due to the
short maturity of these instruments.
iii.
Derivative Financial Instruments and
Hedge Accounting
The Group uses various derivative financial
instruments such as interest rate swaps,
currency swaps, forwards and options and
commodity contracts to mitigate the risk of
changes in interest rates, exchange rates and
commodity prices. At the inception of a hedge
relationship, the Group formally designates
and documents the hedge relationship to
which the Group wishes to apply hedge
accounting and the risk management
objective and strategy for undertaking the
hedge. Such derivative financial instruments
are initially recognised at fair value on the
date on which a derivative contract is entered
into and are also subsequently measured
at fair value. Derivatives are carried as
financial assets when the fair value is positive
and as financial liabilities when the fair
value is negative.
Any gains or losses arising from changes
in the fair value of derivatives are taken
directly to Consolidated Statement of Profit
and Loss, except for the effective portion
of cash flow hedge which is recognised in
Other Comprehensive Income and later to
Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss,
when the hedged item affects profit or loss
or is treated as basis adjustment if a hedged
forecast transaction subsequently results in
the recognition of a non-financial asset or
non-financial liability.
Hedges that meet the criteria for hedge
accounting are accounted for as follows:
A. Cash Flow Hedge
The Group designates derivative contracts
or non-derivative financial assets / liabilities
as hedging instruments to mitigate the risk
of movement in interest rates and foreign
exchange rates for foreign exchange
exposure on highly probable future cash
flows attributable to a recognised asset or
liability or forecast cash transactions. When
a derivative is designated as a cash flow
hedging instrument, the effective portion of
changes in the fair value of the derivative is of
Profit and Loss as finance cost. recognised in
the cash flow hedging reserve being part of
Other Comprehensive Income. Any ineffective
portion of changes in the fair value of the
derivative is recognised immediately in the
Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. If
the hedging relationship no longer meets the
criteria for hedge accounting, then hedge
accounting is discontinued prospectively. If
the hedging instrument expires or is sold /
terminated or exercised, the cumulative gain
or loss on the hedging instrument recognised
in cash flow hedging reserve till the period
the hedge was effective remains in cash
flow hedging reserve until the underlying
transaction occurs. The cumulative gain
or loss previously recognised in the cash
flow hedging reserve is transferred to the
Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss
405
Notesto the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March, 2022Integrated Annual Report 2021-22Reliance Industries Limited
upon the occurrence of the underlying
transaction. If the forecasted transaction is no
longer expected to occur, then the amount
accumulated in cash flow hedging reserve is
reclassified in the Consolidated Statement of
Profit and Loss.
B. Fair Value Hedge
The Group designates derivative contracts
or non-derivative financial assets / liabilities
as hedging instruments to mitigate the risk
of change in fair value of hedged item due to
movement in interest rates, foreign exchange
rates and commodity prices.
Changes in the fair value of hedging
instruments and hedged items that are
designated and qualify as fair value hedges
are recorded in the Consolidated Statement
of Profit and Loss. If the hedging relationship
no longer meets the criteria for hedge
accounting, the adjustment to the carrying
amount of a hedged item for which the
effective interest method is used is amortised
to Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss
over the period of maturity.
iv. Derecognition of Financial Instruments
The Group derecognises a financial asset when
the contractual rights to the cash flows from the
financial asset expire or it transfers the financial
asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition
under Ind AS 109 – Financial Instruments. A
financial liability (or a part of a financial liability)
is derecognised from the Group’s Balance Sheet
when the obligation specified in the contract is
discharged or cancelled or expires.
v. Offsetting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are
offset and the net amount is presented in the
Balance Sheet when, and only when, the Group
has a legally enforceable right to set off the
amount and it intends, either to settle them on
a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the
liability simultaneously.
be concluded within 12 months of the date of
classification. Non-current assets held for sale are
neither depreciated nor amortised. Assets and
liabilities classified as Held for Sale are measured
at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value
less cost of disposal and are presented separately
in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
(t) Accounting for Oil and Gas Activity
The Group has adopted Successful Efforts Method
(SEM) of accounting for its Oil and Gas activities.
The policy of recognition of exploration and
evaluation expenditure is considered in line with
the principle of SEM. Seismic costs, geological
and geophysical studies, petroleum exploration
license fees and general and administration costs
directly attributable to exploration and evaluation
activities are expensed off. The costs incurred on
acquisition of interest in oil and gas blocks and on
exploration and evaluation other than those which
are expensed off are accounted for as Intangible
Assets under Development. All development
costs incurred in respect of Proved Reserves are
also capitalised under Intangible Assets under
Development. Once a well is ready to commence
commercial production, the costs accumulated
in Intangible Assets under Development are
classified as Other Intangible Assets corresponding
to proved developed oil and gas reserves. The
exploration and evaluation expenditure which
does not result in discovery of proved oil and gas
reserves and all cost pertaining to production
are charged to the Consolidated Statement of
Profit and Loss.
The Group uses technical estimation of reserves as
per the Petroleum Resources Management System
guidelines 2011 and standard geological and
reservoir engineering methods. The reserve review
and evaluation is carried out annually. Oil and Gas
Joint Ventures are in the nature of Joint Operations.
Accordingly, assets and liabilities as well as income
and expenditure are accounted on the basis of
available information on a line-by-line basis with
similar items in the financial statements, according
to the participating interest of the Group.
(s) Non-Current Assets Held for Sale
(u) Earnings Per Share
Non-Current Assets are classified as Held for Sale if
their carrying amount will be recovered principally
through a sale transaction rather than through
continuing use and sale is considered highly
probable. A sale is considered as highly probable
when decision has been made to sell, assets
are available for immediate sale in its present
condition, assets are being actively marketed
and sale has been agreed or is expected to
Basic Earnings Per Share is calculated by dividing
the net profit after tax by the weighted average
number of equity shares outstanding during the
year adjusted for bonus element in equity share.
Diluted Earnings Per Share adjusts the figures used
in determination of basic earnings per share to
take into account the conversion of all dilutive
potential equity shares. Dilutive potential equity
shares are deemed converted as at the beginning
of the period unless issued at a later date.

C. Critical Accounting Judgements
and Key Sources of Estimation
Uncertainty
The preparation of the Group’s financial statements
requires management to make judgement, estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amount
of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities and the
accompanying disclosures. Uncertainty about these
assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes
that require a material adjustment to the carrying
amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.
(a) Estimation of Oil and Gas Reserves
The determination of the Group’s estimated oil and
natural gas reserves requires significant judgements
and estimates to be applied and these are regularly
reviewed and updated. Factors such as the availability
of geological and engineering data, reservoir
performance data, acquisition and divestment activity,
drilling of new wells, and commodity prices all impact
on the determination of the Group’s estimates of its oil
and natural gas reserves. The Group bases it’s proved
reserves estimates on the requirement of reasonable
certainty with rigorous technical and commercial
assessments based on conventional industry practice
and regulatory requirements.
Estimates of oil and natural gas reserves are used to
calculate depletion charges for the Group’s oil and gas
properties. The impact of changes in estimated proved
reserves is dealt with prospectively by amortising
the remaining carrying value of the asset over the
expected future production. Oil and natural gas
reserves also have a direct impact on the assessment
of the recoverability of asset carrying values reported
in the financial statements. Details on proved reserves
and production both on product and geographical
basis are provided in Note 34.
(b) Decommissioning Liabilities
The liability for decommissioning costs are recognised
when the Group has an obligation to perform site
restoration activity. The recognition and measurement
of decommissioning provisions involves the use of
estimates and assumptions. These include the timing
of abandonment of well and related facilities which
would depend upon the ultimate life of the field,
expected utilisation of assets by other fields, the scope
of abandonment activity and pre-tax rate applied
for discounting.
(c) Property Plant and Equipment / Other
Intangible Assets
Estimates are involved in determining the cost
attributable to bringing the assets to the location and
condition necessary for it to be capable of operating
in the manner intended by the management. Property,
Plant and Equipment / Other Intangible Assets are
depreciated / amortised over their estimated useful
life, after taking into account estimated residual value.
Spectrum Cost is amortised over its balance validity
period, based on the expected pattern of consumption
of the expected future economic benefits.
Management reviews the estimated useful life and
residual values of the assets annually in order to
determine the amount of depreciation / amortisation
to be recorded during any reporting period. The useful
life and residual values are based on the Group’s
historical experience with similar assets and take into
account anticipated technological and future risks.
The depreciation / amortisation for future periods
is revised if there are significant changes from
previous estimates.
(d) Recoverability of Trade Receivables
Judgements are required in assessing the
recoverability of overdue trade receivables and
determining whether a provision against those
receivables is required. Factors considered include
the credit rating of the counterparty, the amount
and timing of anticipated future payments and any
possible actions that can be taken to mitigate the risk
of non-payment.
(e) Provisions
The timing of recognition and quantification of the
liability requires the application of judgement to
existing facts and circumstances, which can be subject
to change. The carrying amounts of provisions and
liabilities are reviewed regularly and revised to take
account of changing facts and circumstances.
(f) Impairment of Financial and Non-
Financial Assets
The impairment provisions for Financial Assets are
based on assumptions about risk of default and
expected cash loss rates. The Group uses judgement
in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs
to the impairment calculation, based on Group’s past
history, existing market conditions as well as forward-
looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
In case of non-financial assets the Group estimates
asset’s recoverable amount, which is higher of an
asset’s or Cash Generating Units (CGU’s) fair value less
costs of disposal and its value in use.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash
flows are discounted to their present value using
pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market
assessments of the time value of money and the risks
specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs
of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into
account, if no such transactions can be identified, an
appropriate valuation model is used.

Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives
have been allocated to the respective CGUs which are
determined at the entity level. During the year ended
March 31, 2022, the Group has determined that there is
no impairment towards these assets.
(g) Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets and
Liabilities
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for
deductible temporary differences and unused tax
losses for which there is probability of utilisation against
the future taxable profit. The Group uses judgement
to determine the amount of deferred tax that can be
recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level
of future taxable profits and business developments.
(h) Fair Value Measurement
For estimates relating to fair value of financial
instruments refer Note 37 of financial statements.
(i) Revenue
The application of Accounting Standard on
Revenue Recognition for digital segment involves
complexity and use of key judgements with respect
to multiple elements deliverables, timing of revenue
recognition, accounting of discounts, incentives, etc.
The Management has reviewed such accounting
treatment and is satisfied about its appropriateness in
terms of the relevant Ind AS.
(j) Global Health Pandemic on COVID-19
The continuance of corona virus (COVID-19) pandemic
globally and in India is causing significant disturbance
and slowdown of economic activity. The Group’s
operations and revenue during the period were
impacted due to COVID-19. The Group has taken
into account the possible impact of COVID-19 in
preparation of financial statements, including its
assessment of recoverable value of its assets based
on internal and external information upto the date of
approval of these financial statements and current
indicators of future economic conditions.
The Group evaluates if an arrangement qualifies
to be a lease as per the requirements of Ind AS 116.
Identification of a lease requires significant judgement.
The Group uses judgement in assessing whether a
contract (or part of contract) include a lease, the
lease term (including anticipated renewals), the
applicable discount rate, variable lease payments
whether are in-substance fixed. The judgement
involves assessment of whether the asset included in
the contract is a fully or partly identified asset based
on the facts and circumstances, whether the contract
include a lease and non-lease component and if
so, separation thereof for the purpose of recognition
and measurement, determination of lease term
basis, inter alia the non-cancellable period of lease
and whether the lessee intends to opt for continuing
with the use of the asset upon the expiry thereof, and
whether the lease payments are fixed or variable or a
combination of both.
D. Standards Issued but not Effective

The estimates of Rate of Escalation in salary considered in actuarial valuation, take into account inflation, seniority,
promotion and other relevant factors including supply and demand in the employment market. The above information is
certified by the actuary.
The Expected Rate of Return on Plan Assets is determined considering several applicable factors, mainly the
composition of Plan Assets held, assessed risks, historical results of return on Plan Assets and the Group’s policy for Plan
Assets Management.
VIII) The expected contributions for Defined Benefit Plan for the next financial year will be in line with financial year 2021-22.
IX) These plan’s typically expose the Group to actuarial risks such as: Investment Risk, Interest Risk, Longevity Risk
and Salary Risk.
Investment Risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate which is
determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds.
Interest Risk
A decrease in the bond interest rate will increase the plan liability; however, this will be partially offset
by an increase in the return on the plan's debt investments.
Longevity Risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate
of the mortality of plan participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life
expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plan's liability.
Salary Risk
The present value of the defined plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan
participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan's liability.

During the year, Reliance Eagleford Upstream Holding, LP (“REUHLP”) a wholly owned step-down subsidiary of Reliance
Industries Limited (“RIL”), signed agreements with Ensign Operating III, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company to divest
its interest in certain upstream assets in the Eagleford shale play of Texas, USA. With this transaction, RIL has divested all its
shale gas assets and has exited from the shale gas business in North America. This transaction resulted into an Exceptional
Gain on sale of assets amounting ` 2,872 crore (part of Oil & Gas segment).

b)
c)
Net gain on sale of investments with respect to Reliance BP Mobility Limited (Part of O2C segment) of ` 4,966 crore (net of
taxes of ` 1,508 crore).
Due to the adverse changes in market environment, reduction in activity by operator and recent operational performance,
the Shale Gas subsidiaries (Part of Oil & Gas segment) have impaired their assets including unavoidable costs based on
contractual commitments, totaling to ` 15,691 crore. This is in accordance with the requirements of Ind AS 36 – Impairment of
Assets, as the carrying amount of an investment exceeds its recoverable amount. Further, the Company has also recognised
Deferred Tax Assets of ` 15,570 crore in respect of the difference between the book base and tax base of the Shale Gas
Operations, in accordance with Ind AS 12 – Income Tax.

34.3 The Government of India (GOI), by its letters dated 2nd May, 2012, 14th November, 2013, 10th July, 2014 and 3rd June, 2016 has
disallowed certain costs which the Production Sharing Contract (PSC), relating to Block KGDWN-98/3 entitles the Company
to recover. The Company continues to maintain that the 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 referred the issue to arbitration with GOI for resolution of disputes. The demand from the GOI of $ 165 million
(` 1,248 crore) being the Company’s share (total demand $ 247 million- ` 1,872 crore) towards additional Profit Petroleum
has been considered as contingent liability.
In supersession of 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, the GOI has directed the Company to instruct customers to deposit
differential revenue on gas sales from D1D3 field on account of the prices determined under the above 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 in Gas pool Account is ` 295 crore (net) as at
31st March, 2022 is disclosed under Other Non-Current Assets. Revenue has been recognised at the GOI notified prices in
respect of gas quantities sold from D1D3 field from 1st November, 2014. This amount in the Gas Pool Account has also been
challenged under cost recovery arbitration and is pending adjudication.
Tribunal has scheduled further procedural hearing in the matter.
34.4 (a) GOI sent a notice to the KG D6 Contractor on 4th November, 2016 asking the Contractor to deposit approximately US $1.55
billion on account of alleged gas migration from ONGC’s blocks. RIL, as Operator, for and on behalf of all constituents
of the Contractor, initiated arbitration proceedings against the GOI. The Arbitral Tribunal vide its Final Award dated
24th July, 2018 upheld Contractor’s claims. GOI filed an Appeal under Section 34 of the Arbitration Act, against the Final
Award of the Arbitral Tribunal on 15th November, 2018 before the Hon’ble Delhi High Court. The Appeal is currently being
heard before the Hon’ble Delhi High Court.
(b) Arbitration was initiated by BG Exploration and Production India Limited and RIL (together the Claimants) against GOI
on 16th December, 2010 under the PSCs for Panna – Mukta and Tapti blocks due to difference in interpretation of certain
PSC provisions between Claimants and GOI. The Arbitral Tribunal by majority issued a final partial award (‘2016 FPA’),
and separately, two dissenting opinions in the matter on 12th October, 2016. Claimants challenged certain parts of the
2016 FPA before the English Courts, which delivered its judgment on 16th April, 2018 and remitted one of the challenged
issues back to the Arbitral Tribunal for reconsideration. The Arbitral Tribunal decided in favour of the Claimants in large
part vide its final partial award dated 1st October, 2018 (‘2018 FPA’). GOI and Claimants filed an appeal before the English
Commercial Court against this 2018 FPA. The English Commercial Court rejected GOI’s challenges to 2018 FPA and
upheld Claimants’ challenge in February 2020 and remitted the underlying issue in challenge back to the Arbitration
Tribunal for determination. On 29th January, 2021 the Tribunal issued a further final partial award on the remitted matter
and GOI has challenged the same before the English Commercial Court. Claimants have filed an application before
the Arbitral Tribunal seeking increase in the PSC Cost Recovery Limits and the same is sub-judice. Arbitral Tribunal is yet
to schedule the final re-computation of accounts phase of the arbitration, which will take place post determination of
Claimants’ request for increase in cost recovery limit under the PSCs.
GOI has also filed an execution petition before the Hon’ble Delhi High Court under sections 47 and 49 of the Arbitration
and Conciliation Act, 1996 and Section 151 of the Civil Procedure Code, 1908 seeking enforcement and execution of the
2016 FPA, ignoring the judgments of English High Court and the subsequent Tribunal Awards. The Claimants contend
that GOI’s Execution Petition is not maintainable. GOI’s Execution Petition is currently sub judice before Delhi High Court.
(c) NTPC had filed a suit for specific performance of a contract for supply of natural gas by RIL before the Hon’ble Bombay
High Court. The main issue in dispute is whether a valid, concluded and binding contract exists between the parties for
supply of Natural Gas of 132 Trillion BTU annually for a period of 17 years. The matter is presently sub judice and RIL is of
the view that NTPC’s claim lacks merit and no binding contract for supply of gas was executed between NTPC and RIL.
Considering the complexity of above issues, the Company is of the view that any attempt for quantification of possible
exposure to the Company will have an effect of prejudicing Company’s legal position in the ongoing arbitration/
litigations. Moreover, the Company considers above demand/disputes as remote.

(III) On December 16, 2010, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) issued a show cause notice (“SCN”) inter alia to
the Company (RIL) in connection with the trades by RIL in the stock exchanges in 2007 in the shares of Reliance Petroleum
Limited, then a subsidiary of RIL. Hearings were held before the Whole Time Member (“WTM”) of SEBI in respect of the SCN. By
an order dated March 24, 2017, the WTM passed the directions: (i) prohibiting inter alia RIL from dealing in equity derivatives
in the ‘Futures & Options’ segment of stock exchanges, directly or indirectly, for a period of one year from the date of the
order; and (ii) to RIL to disgorge an amount of ` 447 crore along with interest at the rate of 12% per annum from November 29,
2007 till the date of payment. In May 2017, RIL and the other noticees filed an appeal before the Securities Appellate Tribunal
(“SAT”) against this order. SAT, by a majority order (2:1), dismissed the appeal on November 5, 2020 and directed RIL to pay
the disgorged amount within sixty days from the date of the order. The appeal of RIL and other noticees has been admitted
by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India. By its order dated December 17, 2020, the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India directed RIL
to deposit ` 250 crore in the Investors’ Protection Fund, subject to the final result of the appeal and stayed the recovery of the
balance, inclusive of interest, pending the appeal. RIL has complied with the order dated December 17, 2020 of the Hon’ble
Supreme Court of India.
(IV) Hathway Cable and Datacom Limited has received Show Cause cum Demand Notices (“SCNs”) from the Department of
Telecommunications (“DOT”), Government of India for the financial years from 2006-07 to 2019-20 towards license fees
aggregating to ` 3,587 crore which includes penalty and interest thereon. The Company has made representations to DOT
contesting the basis of such demand. Based on opinion of legal expert, the Company is confident that it has good grounds
on merit to defend itself in the above matter.
a)
Maintain investment grade ratings for all issuing entities, domestically and internationally by ensuring that the financial

The financial instruments are categorised into three levels based on the inputs used to arrive at fair value measurements
as described below:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Inputs other than the quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly
or indirectly; and
Level 3: Inputs based on unobservable market data.
Valuation Methodology
All financial instruments are initially recognised and subsequently re-measured at fair value as described below:
a)
The fair value of investment in quoted Equity Shares, Bonds, Government Securities, Treasury Bills, Certificate of Deposits
and Mutual Funds is measured at quoted price or NAV.
b)
The fair value of Interest Rate Swaps is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on
observable yield curves.
c)
The fair value of Forward Foreign Exchange contracts and Currency Swaps is determined using observable forward
exchange rates and yield curves at the balance sheet date.
d)
The fair value of over-the-counter Foreign Currency Option contracts is determined using the Black Scholes
valuation model.
e)
Commodity derivative contracts are valued using available information in markets and quotations from exchange,
brokers and price index developers.
f)
The fair value for Level 3 instruments is valued using inputs based on information about market participants assumptions
and other data that are available.
g) The fair value of the remaining financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis.
h) All foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are translated using exchange rate at reporting date.
The Group’s activities expose it to variety of financial risks: market risk, credit risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk. Within the
boundaries of approved Risk Management Policy framework The Group uses derivative instruments to manage the volatility
of financial markets and minimize the adverse impact on its financial performance.
i) Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in
market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk, such as equity
price risk and commodity risk.
a) Foreign Currency Risk
Foreign Currency Risk is the risk that the Fair Value or Future Cash Flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of
changes in foreign currency rates. Exposures can arise on account of the various assets and liabilities which are
denominated in currencies other than Indian Rupee.
The following table shows foreign currency exposures in US Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen on financial instruments at
the end of the reporting period. The exposure to all other foreign currencies are not material.

ii) Commodity Price Risk
Commodity price risk arises due to fluctuation in prices of crude oil, other feed stock and products and bullion. The Group
has a risk management framework aimed at prudently managing the risk arising from the volatility in commodity prices
and freight costs.
The Group’s commodity price risk is managed centrally through well-established trading operations and control
processes. In accordance with the risk management policy, the Group enters into various transactions using derivatives
and uses over-the-counter as well as Exchange Traded Futures, Options and Swap contracts to hedge its commodity
and freight exposure.

Credit risk is the risk that a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to perform or pay the amounts due
causing financial loss to the Group. Credit risk arises from Group’s activities in investments, dealing in derivatives and
receivables from customers and other financial instruments. The Group ensures that sales of products are made to
customers with appropriate creditworthiness. Credit information is regularly shared between businesses and finance
function, with a framework in place to quickly identify, respond and recognise cases of credit deterioration.
The Group has a prudent and conservative process for managing its credit risk arising in the course of its business
activities. Credit risk across the Group, is actively managed through Letters of Credit, Bank Guarantees, Parent Group
Guarantees, advance payments, security deposits and factoring and forfaiting without recourse to Group. The Group
restricts its fixed income investments in liquid securities carrying high credit rating.
iv) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk arises from the Group’s inability to meet its cash flow commitments on the due date. The Group maintains
sufficient stock of cash, marketable securities and committed credit facilities. The Group accesses global and local
financial markets to meet its liquidity requirements. It uses a range of products and a mix of currencies to ensure efficient
funding from across well-diversified markets and investor pools. Treasury monitors rolling forecasts of the Group’s cash
flow position and ensures that the Group is able to meet its financial obligation at all times including contingencies.
The Group’s liquidity is managed centrally with operating units forecasting their cash and liquidity requirements.
Treasury pools the cash surpluses from across the different operating units and then arranges to either fund the net
deficit or invest the net surplus in a range of short-dated, secure and liquid instruments including short-term bank
deposits, money market funds, reverse repos and similar instruments. The portfolio of these investments is diversified to
avoid concentration risk in any one instrument or counterparty.

The Group’s business objective includes safe-guarding its earnings against adverse price movements of crude oil and
other feedstock, refined products, precious metals, freight costs as well as foreign exchange and interest rates. The Group
has adopted a structured risk management policy to hedge all these risks within an acceptable risk limit and an approved
hedge accounting framework which allows for Fair Value and Cash Flow hedges. Hedging instruments include exchange
traded futures and options, over-the-counter swaps, forwards and options as well as non-derivative instruments to achieve
this objective.
There is an economic relationship between the hedged items and the hedging instruments. The Group has established a
hedge ratio of 1:1 for the hedging relationships. To test the hedge effectiveness, the Group uses the hypothetical derivative
method and Dollar offset method.
The hedge ineffectiveness can arise from:
- Differences in the timing of the cash flows.
- Different indexes (and accordingly different curves).
- The counterparties’ credit risk differently impacting the fair value movements.
The table below shows the position of hedging instruments and hedged items as on the balance sheet date:
