Mukesh D. Ambani Chairman and Managing Director, Reliance Industries Limited Dear esteemed shareholders, India’s significance in the global economic landscape has enhanced mani-fold over the past decade. In this world of volatility and uncertainty, India is shining as a beacon of stability and prosperity. Robust growth across all sectors, fuelled by the collective ‘can do’ spirit of 1.4 billion Indians and bolstered by our rich heritage, is steadily driving the nation’s economic progress. It is this spirit of India and Indians that inspires Reliance to innovate relentlessly and excel in every venture. It is a matter of immense pride for the Reliance Family to be a part of India’s growth story and contribute to its meteoric rise. With the launch of Jio 4G in 2016, we set out on a journey to make digital inclusion in India a reality. Jio turned a Data Dark India into a Data Rich nation, supplying every Indian home with affordable, high-speed 4G data. And this year, Jio has further enhanced the country’s digital infrastructure by rolling out its True5G network across India in world-record time. The launch of JioBharat phone was another revolutionary step towards bridging the country’s digital divide. A smartphone at the price of a feature phone, the JioBharat phone will go a long way in the realisation of a 2G-mukt Bharat. We are also making concerted efforts in building capabilities in evolving technologies such as AI/ML, AR/VR, robotics, natural language recognition and processing. The world is increasingly recognising India as an innovation hub, and Jio will continue to play a stellar role in building the nation’s digital infrastructure and capabilities. The changing demography of India too is scripting our growth story. The working population has soared to ~450 million, and household incomes are on an upward trajectory. There is visible improvement in the quality of life of common people. With increase in disposable income, the demand for goods and services is expanding rapidly. As India’s largest retailer, Reliance Retail is perfectly positioned to serve the consumption needs of our fast-growing economy. With our all-encompassing range of products, we have become an integral part of the lives of our consumers across the nation. Our New Commerce initiative is also playing an important role in supporting small indigenous merchants and kirana shop owners – the very backbone of the retail supply chain of our nation. This year we introduced our first ‘Swadesh’ store, promoting traditional art forms, as well as artisans. We have always believed that the demand for India’s age-old crafts is at par with prominent global brands, and our belief has been vindicated by the overwhelming response to our Swadesh stores. The world is now realising the enormous potential of India. ‘Invest in India’ is being advocated globally. Reliance Retail’s vision of inclusive development for millions of consumers and merchants, coupled with unprecedented growth of the Indian marketplace, has resulted in marquee names investing in RRVL at a US$ 100 billion valuation milestone. The Media and Entertainment business also made impressive progress this year. We believe in the potential of talented artistes and storytellers of our country and continue to promote their projects. To cater to the evolving tastes of Indian audiences, we bring together a blend of premium global and home- grown content through multiple consumption platforms. As Indians, we nurture a passion for sports and work towards making exciting sports content available to our viewers. Teaming up with global media powerhouses, we are pooling together spectacular content for the Indian diaspora. With a package replete with quality media productions, sports events, and news platforms, we continue to work towards providing the best of news coverage, infotainment, and entertainment to millions of Indians. Over the past couple of years, volatility in trade flows and supply chain disruptions have affected the energy sufficiency of multiple economies. With visionary and prudent leadership, the resilience and stability of the Indian economy amid such a global crisis is truly unparalleled. The Oil and Gas division of Reliance has performed an outstanding job in strengthening India’s energy security. With the commissioning of MJ Field, KG-D6 block now accounts for ~30% of India’s domestic gas production. As the world’s largest single-site refinery operator, we continue to diligently work towards ensuring a steady supply of fuel to both India and offshore markets. Our fuel-retailing JV, Jio-bp, focuses on innovation and customisable indigenous solutions to improve fuel efficiency at affordable prices. Our fast-growing network of EV charging stations enable the development of a robust infrastructure to support the growing fleet of EVs in India. Moreover, it underscores Reliance’s commitment towards decarbonisation. 6 7 Reliance Industries LimitedIntegrated Annual Report 2023-24Chairman and Managing Director’s Statement With such a comprehensive approach towards decarbonisation, our new energy and new materials business is poised to become one of the largest providers of green energy globally, as well as a prime contributor towards India’s 2070 net zero target. Accelerating Towards Net Carbon Zero Reliance has defined a comprehensive roadmap leading to our ambitious Net Carbon Zero target. We are focused on investing in right talent to ensure superior execution of our decarbonisation plans. Our ESG Committee is doing an exemplary job in reviewing and evaluating the Company’s progress. Our think-tank, the New Energy Council, is providing critical insights about utility and adoption of nascent, unconventional technologies. Our R&D teams are working round- the-clock, devising solutions that can leverage novel techniques in the carbon recycling process. We have a strong background of successfully introducing pioneering transformations and gaining leadership status across market segments. I am confident that Reliance’s arrival on the global renewable energy landscape too will be truly disruptive. Enhancing Investor Wealth Global optimism on the Indian economic and business outlook helped Indian equity indices to soar to record high levels. In February 2024, Reliance became the first Indian company to cross the C 20 lakh crore threshold in market capitalisation. The demerger of Jio Financial Services has unlocked significant value for shareholders. Enhancing investors’ wealth and contributing to India’s economic expansion inspire us to aim higher. Summary of Financial Performance I am happy to highlight the remarkable financial performance of our businesses. The global economic scenario remained volatile causing considerable headwinds. But strategic depth of our businesses, talented business teams, and resilient domestic markets helped Reliance navigate the obstacles. The consolidated EBITDA grew 16.1% Y-o-Y to C 1,78,677, whereas consolidated net profit stood at C 79,020 with 7.3% Y-o-Y growth. Importantly, all our business segments contributed to the growth in earnings. Our strong balance sheet is a testament to our prudent business and financial management strategies which help us maximise cash profits. CONSOLIDATED EBITDA ₹1,78,677 Crore CONSOLIDATED NET PROFIT ₹79,020 Crore The Industrial and Infrastructure sectors in India exhibit an exceptional growth trajectory. Today’s India employs futuristic techniques to build robust, reliable, and lasting solutions. Reliance’s petrochemical products continue to contribute heavily to the fast-paced growth of new India. The concept of circularity has always been an inherent component of our chemical business. With immense pride I say that Reliance has become the first Indian company to chemically recycle plastic waste-based pyrolysis oil into circular polymers. This, along with other pioneering initiatives such as recycled polyester, recycled polyolefins, and waste-to-road solutions, is testimony to Reliance’s relentless drive for greener products and solutions. As we work towards our goal of attaining Net Carbon Zero by the year 2035, the development of the Dhirubhai Ambani Green Energy Giga Complex in Jamnagar is progressing rapidly. This giga complex will be one of the largest end-to-end integrated renewable energy manufacturing facilities globally. We are also exploring multiple technologies for capture and recycling of carbon. We are confident that our New Energy business will play a pivotal role in the global movement for adoption of cleaner fuels. Our target is not just to make clean energy available, but also to make it accessible and affordable, thereby ensuring energy self‑sufficiency for India. 8 Highlights of Operational Performance Digital Services Jio’s subscriber base has shot up to 481.8 million. The pan-India rollout of True5G network was completed during the year in world-record time with over 108 million subscribers already having migrated to Jio’s True5G network. The launch of JioAirFiber has been well received by consumers. The introduction of JioBharat phone offers people who are on 2G networks an enriching data experience at affordable prices. In fact, JioBharat phone has already acquired 50% market share in the sub- C 1,000 segment. Media and Entertainment Media segment consolidated its market share with leadership across important segments. Record viewership of the Indian Premier League on JioCinema underscored our ability to scale-up audience on our digital platform in a short time. During the year, we entered into a landmark agreement with The Walt Disney Company, world’s leading media company, for creating a joint venture which combines the businesses of Viacom 18 and Star India. The resultant JV will be one of the leading television and digital streaming platforms in India, bringing best-in-class entertainment for our audience across the country. Retail The retail business significantly benefited from operating leverage, efficiency gains, and investments in technology and people. We continued to consolidate our leadership position through acquisitions and partnerships. We launched Tira, our omni-channel beauty retail platform and undertook rapid expansion of the platform’s digital and physical footprint. Our retail store network expanded to 18,836 stores, taking the overall retail space to 79.1 million sq.ft., an increase of 20.6% Y-o-Y. Addition of newer features and channels on online platforms resulted in growing share of digital and new commerce segments in revenue. Oil to Chemicals Product cracks for transportation fuels remained strong albeit lower than the previous year. Demand for downstream chemicals was muted globally but domestic demand remained healthy. Despite the headwinds, the O2C business registered a resilient performance. Jio-bp launched the ‘You Deserve More’ campaign and continued to expand its network of fuel retailing and EV charging outlets. Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Overall domestic production grew 53.2% Y-o-Y to 268.6 BCFe. With increased production from the KG-D6 block, the business witnessed a robust EBITDA growth of 48.6% Y-o-Y. Exploration activities in the KG UDW1 block and multi-lateral well campaign in the CBM block are underway. Conclusion Reliance has consolidated its balance sheet after the previous round of capex and is ready for the next level of growth. Our constant endeavor to find solutions for India and Indians has helped us spot multiple growth opportunities that have expanded our business portfolio. This portfolio now enables us to touch the lives of millions of Indians through multiple products and offerings. Two things have throughout been paramount for us in dealing with our stakeholders – relationship and trust. Our people are our biggest strength. I sincerely appreciate our Board of Directors for their guidance and oversight, as well as all our employees for their dedicated efforts to help the Company achieve new standards of excellence. I would like to thank our business partners for their consistent support in delivering quality solutions. Allow me to convey my gratitude to our customers for keeping faith in Brand Reliance over the years. Finally, I thank our shareholders for their continued support. Their faith spurs us to continually grow and create value. With best wishes, Mukesh D.

Borar Raj Mullick Sumit Mantri Despite global headwinds, India’s economic performance was surprisingly robust, catalysed by strong domestic consumption and a pick-up in investment.

Performance Overview Reliance delivered robust annual performance on both operating and financial parameters. Notably, all segments contributed positively to earnings growth during the year. The Company achieved a consolidated revenue of C 10,00,122 crore (US$ 119.9 billion), up 2.6%, as compared to C 9,74,864 crore in the previous year.

Profit Consolidated EBITDA for the year increased by 16.1% to C 1,78,677 crore (US$ 21.4 billion) as compared to C 1,53,920 crore in FY 2022-23. EBITDA growth was led by 28.4% increase in Retail segment, benefitting from improved operating leverage, higher footfalls and growth in digital channels. Digital Services segment EBITDA also grew by 12.7% on account of higher revenue with increased subscriber base and higher customer engagement. O2C EBITDA grew marginally Y-o-Y, supported by strength in cracks for transportation fuels. Weakness in global downstream chemical margins and impact of major planned turnaround at the Jamnagar complex was offset by moderation in SAED. Oil & Gas segment EBITDA increased by 48.6%, supported by 56.8% higher gas production in KG-D6 block.

The net capital turnover ratio improved from 16.97 in FY 2022-23 to 25.43 in FY 2023-24, due to lower working capital. 2. Return on investment increased from 6.7% in the previous year to 8.5% in FY 2023-24 due to higher yields on the investments portfolio. 13 Reliance Industries LimitedIntegrated Annual Report 2023-24 Management Discussion and Analysis — Financial Performance and Review 3. 4. The inventory turnover ratio decreased to 7.31 in FY 2023-24 as against 10.49 in the previous year primarily due to higher inventories. The return on net worth* fell to 10.3% in FY 2023-24 as against 10.9% in previous year due to marginally lower profits on weak O2C earnings and higher taxation. Liquidity and Capital Resources Macro Environment In FY 2023-24, global financial markets experienced significant volatility, marked by unpredictable shifts in sentiments, from growth concerns to inflation worries. In the US, it was a year of two halves. The first half experienced heightened financial market volatility stemming from fears of potential banking crisis followed by improvement in risk sentiment due to decisive fiscal interventions and decline in the US headline CPI inflation to 3-3.5%. The second half was marked by resurgence of inflationary and growth pressures, leaving markets uncertain about future inflationary conditions, growth prospects, and quantum of policy rate cuts. In India inflation declined steadily, with headline inflation reaching 5.1% in 4Q FY 2023-24, and core inflation falling below 4%. The inclusion of Indian sovereign bonds into JP Morgan’s GBI-EM global index in 2Q FY 2023-24 is expected to attract an estimated US$ 25 billion in foreign inflow. Additionally, the Government of India announced a steady fiscal consolidation path which helped in easing G-sec yields despite global challenges. India’s growth advantage coupled with expectations of sub-1.5% GDP Current Account Deficit, and low USDINR volatility should bolster the Indian Rupee in the short to medium term. RIL successfully navigated this environment while maintaining adequate liquidity, managing financial market risks, and delivering consistent returns on its investment portfolio. * Adjusted for CWIP and revaluation 14 Fund Raising Despite challenging market conditions, RIL and its subsidiaries successfully raised financing across various markets, currencies, and financial products at competitive cost to finance capital expenditure, support business expansion, and refinance maturing debt.

The Company tied-up Korean Export Credit Agency (K-EXIM) supported facilities aggregating a US$ 625 million equivalent to finance the purchase of Floating, Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel in the Oil & Gas business. Onshore Facilities RIL issued C 20,000 crore 10-year non- convertible debentures (NCD), marking the largest single-tranche NCD issuance by a non-financial entity in Indian capital markets and the second largest issuance ever in terms of size. The NCDs were issued at rates which were RIL’s lowest coupon ever and at the tightest spread over sovereign credit.

Strengths Challenges India’s Biggest Media Conglomerate: Reliance is India’s largest media conglomerate comprising Network18, TV18, Viacom18, Jio Studios, and other investments, with strong positions in key segments. Diverse Media Reach: With a portfolio of 63 TV channels, OTT platforms, digital news and information platforms, Reliance connects with consumers across platforms with tailored content spanning entertainment, news, sports, movies, and live events. Global Alliances and Strong Brand Equity: Collaborations with global giants like Disney, Paramount, and Warner Bros. Discovery, along with genre-defining brands such as CNBC TV18 and Colors, have fortified Reliance’s leadership. Rising Costs and Fragmented Viewership: Intense competition has not only led to escalation in content costs, especially for sports and movie rights, it has also led to viewership fragmentation. Macro-economic linkages: India’s ad market is inherently linked to macro- economic growth, necessitating creation of a robust business model insulated from fluctuations in the economy. Piracy: Despite content piracy seeing a significant decline, it remains a critical challenge in generating commensurate return on investments. SCOT Analysis Opportunities Threats Digital Expansion: India’s projected one billion connected screens by 2030 indicate substantial growth potential, fuelled by increasing smartphone and CTV penetration. Ad market Growth: Rising disposable incomes are expected to drive ad spends, particularly on digital medium, which have democratized advertising for SMBs.

With China’s reopening in the first half of 2023, the global oil markets were expected to support oil demand during the year. However, robust US shale supply growth, warm winter weather, increased renewables, and fast interest rate hikes forced OPEC+ to pare back oil production for 18 months to firm up crude markets, even as geopolitics became more complex. The Brent crude oil price averaged ~US$ 83/bbl. Gas availability remained tight in 2023 as incremental global LNG production fell short of expectations. Business Performance Revenue and EBITDA were up 48.0% and 48.6%, respectively. This was mainly due to higher gas and condensate production and partly offset by lower price realisation.

The next wave of projects – R Cluster, Satellite Cluster, and MJ – have been commissioned and are currently under production. These projects have leveraged the hub infrastructure in place, thereby reducing cost. Average production for FY 2023-24 from the three fields together is ~27 MMSCMD gas and ~18,000 bbls per day of oil and condensate. Production is in line with expectations. Based on the comprehensive assessment undertaken with more than two years of production data, three additional wells in R Cluster and one additional well in Satellite Cluster are being proposed to be drilled. This is expected to provide incremental recovery of ~240 BCF of gas from these fields. In line with the increasing gas production, three rounds of e-auction were successfully completed. Overall, 15 MMSCMD gas contracts were signed with buyers across Fertiliser, CGD, Refineries, and Aggregators. Condensate production commenced from the MJ Field in KG-D6 Block in April 2023, after which first auction process was launched in May 2023. Five rounds of auction were conducted and 12 cargo offtakes were successfully completed by the end of March 2024. ~27 MMSCMD Average gas production in FY 2023-24 Exploration Strategy RIL’s exploration strategy is focused on finding additional gas accumulations that can be tied back to the existing world-class infrastructure, using an infrastructure-led exploration (ILX) approach. Block KGUDWHP-2018/1 (KG-UDW1) was awarded to RIL-BP JV under the OALP II licensing round, and the Petroleum Exploration License (PEL) was issued in August 2019. Post completion of 3D Seismic Acquisition and Processing campaign, the first exploration well was drilled in the Block, and the drilled well data are under analysis. During the year, RIL acquired Block KG-UDWHP-2022/1 (KG-UDW2) under the OALP VIII licensing round. The contract for the Block was signed in January 2024. Coal Bed Methane RIL is currently producing Coal Bed Methane (CBM) from its block SP (West)–CBM–2001/1. More than 300 wells are in production, with an average output of 0.64 MMSCMD gas during the year. To augment and sustain production, a 40 multi-lateral horizontal well programme is being executed in SP (West). This is the first time in India that such horizontal wells are being drilled for CBM. Reliance has already drilled 13 horizontal wells, out of which 10 wells are put on production. Preliminary results are encouraging. 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 National Gas Grid. This provides access to consumers across the country. Strengths Challenges Outlook › World-class hub infrastructure › Tight supply chain › Volatile commodity prices both at KG-D6 and CBM › Deepwater project execution experience › Partnership with strong global partners › Natural gas heavy portfolio which is a transition fuel of choice SCOT Analysis Threats › LNG supply glut adversely impacting price realisation › Accelerated transition to Renewables will impact oil and gas demand Opportunities › Leverage infrastructure to monetise resources in catchment areas › Contribute to India’s growing gas economy › Leverage the role of natural gas as a ‘transition fuel’ in the shift towards green energy 28 Gas is expected to play a key role as a transition fuel, with its share in the energy mix expected to increase from 6% to 15% by CY 2030. Reliance’s current portfolio mix is ideally placed to help meet this increased demand. RIL currently produces nearly 30% of India’s domestic gas. Further development efforts are ongoing to augment gas production in deepwater and CBM by utilising its existing infrastructure in the area.

Structural inefficiencies combined with rising costs of fossil fuel has resulted in expensive power for commercial and residential customers – average tariff of ~ C 10/ kWh (US$ 12c/ kWh). Therefore, it is not feasible for India to keep relying on fossil fuels for its growth. The use of fossil fuels-based energy increases dependence on imports and results in drain of foreign exchange. Stable and round-the-clock cost-efficient green power is the need of the hour. India needs to solve this problem to maintain its growth trajectory and reach US$ 32 trillion GDP by 2047. Over the next 12 months, our focus is to bring new energy manufacturing facilities on-stream, operate them efficiently and, start developing RE generation projects. Simultaneously, we would develop supply chain locally for self-sufficiency and reduce the reliance on imports. We aim to be the partner of choice for leading global climate technology and product companies and develop business model which is flexible and adaptable to different technologies and future proofed to be always lowest life cycle cost and best in class.

This shift is propelled by the escalating urgency to tackle climate change and the increasing demand for renewable energy sources. Within this context, India emerges as a pivotal player due to its vast energy market and potential for significant impact. Reliance leads this transition in India by innovating and implementing decarbonisation strategies. Net Carbon Zero Strategy Reliance’s ambitious Net Carbon Zero goal elevates both the challenges and opportunities to a globally impactful and transformational level, surpassing any of its past endeavours. Reliance has consistently adhered to its core business principles, and this approach remains unchanged in its journey towards a ‘Net Carbon Zero’ future. Today, these foundational principles continue to guide the Company’s progress, as detailed below: Hyper-integration: By integrating scientific knowledge with continuous technological innovation to build and operate truly integrated systems that deliver hyper-performance. Robust business model: By building a model that captures the irreversible upward trend in the demand for green, clean and renewable energy in India and globally, alongside the decreasing cost of production. Scale: By improving the efficiency, performance and life cycle of its assets and operations to achieve total system optimisation and economics. Strategic Acquisitions / Partnerships Reliance is well on its way to securing self-reliant supply chains through investments and strategic partnerships with leading firms in solar power, batteries and electrolysers. These collaborations grant the Company access to unique technological expertise and talent, positioning it to lead a transformative shift in the global New Energy sector. The Company is actively developing a comprehensive green energy ecosystem, utilising new technologies and pursuing innovative approaches, which contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions and shaping a more sustainable future for the nation. The transition from fossil fuels to green energy, which requires substantial investments in skills, technology and large-scale manufacturing ecosystems, strongly supports Reliance’s New Materials and New Energy businesses. Reliance is determined to position India as a global leader in energy transition. The Company’s focus on developing indigenous technology and manufacturing capabilities aims to transform India from being a net energy importer to an exporter, generating substantial wealth for the country and its shareholders. The Reliance Commitment To achieve its ambitious Net Carbon Zero target by 2035, Reliance announced plans to: Establish and enable 100 GW of renewable energy by 2030. Invest In the value chain, partnerships and future technologies, including upstream and downstream industries. Build Giga factories to create and offer a fully integrated, end-to-end renewable energy ecosystem. Transform Its business to Net Carbon Zero operation. 41 Integrated Approach to Sustainable GrowthReliance Industries LimitedIntegrated Annual Report 2023-24Reliance has made a strong start on the ambitious journey to become Net Carbon Zero by 2035. The Company envisions becoming one of the world’s leading New Energy and New Materials Company over a period of 15 years through a strategic focus on: Clean energy transition Making CO2 a recyclable resource Replacing transportation fuel 2020 Announced Net Carbon Zero by 2035 target 2024 5.28 Million GJ Energy savings 6.85 Million GJ Renewable energy consumption 2035 Net Carbon Zero 2030 Establish and enable 100 GW Of Renewable Energy 2027 Expansion of cell-to-pack manufacturing facility to 50 GWh Annually 2026 Jamnagar PV factory scaled to 20 GW In a phased manner Establish a comprehensive battery giga factory Others include − Improving energy efficiency − Upgrading syngas to high- value chemicals − Converting transportation fuels to valuable petrochemicals and material building blocks Execution Approach and Progress Reliance’s goal is to reduce its operational GHG footprint as part of its long-term emission reduction strategy, in addition to enhancing resource efficiency and energy conservation. As a part of Reliance’s long-term emission reduction strategy, the Company is committed to reducing its Scope 1 or direct emissions and Scope 2 or indirect emissions from energy purchases. 2025 Establish 20 GW Solar capacity for captive needs of RTC power and intermittent energy for Green Hydrogen Commence transition from Grey Green Hydrogen Industrialise sodium ion cell production at a megawatt level Clean Energy Transition Making CO2 a Recyclable Resource Replacing Transportation Fuel Reliance is making significant strides in the development of the Dhirubhai Ambani Green Energy Giga Complex spanning 5,000 acres in Jamnagar. The phased commencement of operations at the Solar PV Giga Factory is anticipated by the end of 2024. Simultaneously, Reliance has made progress in developing a manufacturing ecosystem essential for cost-efficient wind power generation at a giga scale. A pivotal aspect of this initiative is the largescale manufacturing of carbon fibre, significantly reducing the cost of wind turbine production. In parallel, Reliance is accelerating the commercialisation of its sodium ion battery technology. With plans to industrialise sodium ion cell production at a megawatt level by 2025, the Company intends to rapidly transition to a giga scale. Reliance is also working towards establishing a giga factory dedicated to fuel cells, which are anticipated to progressively replace internal combustion engines. Reliance is investing in a power electronics giga factory, a vital component that connects the entire green energy value chain. Reliance made notable progress in cost-competitive green hydrogen production by reducing the cost of renewable power generation and the installed cost of electrolysers for giga- scale deployment. The Company continues to explore cutting-edge technologies listed below for converting CO2 into valuable products, with investments in carbon capture and utilisation playing a crucial role. − Utilising CO2 from concentrated streams in the gasification complex at Jamnagar − Using photosynthetic biological pathways for converting CO2 emissions into high-value proteins, nutraceuticals, advanced materials, and biofuels − Exploring various Carbon Capture Utilisation and Sequestration (CCUS) pathways, including synthetic fuels, construction materials, algae cultivation and other innovative solutions − Collaboration with Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IITM) to initiate a technology development programme for CO2 utilisation in construction materials − Other significant achievements include developing a stable catalyst for converting methanol and CO2 into Dimethyl Carbonate (DMC) products and patenting a process for concentrating CO2 from dilute flue gases. Building on its commitment to sustainable transportation, Reliance is proactively transitioning from traditional fuels to cleaner alternatives such as hydrogen and electricity, complemented by its New Energy and New Materials businesses. This shift includes moving from traditional transportation fuels to chemical building blocks, integrating these with downstream derivatives and enhancing them with clean energy solutions such as solar, wind, and batteries. In July 2023, Reliance’s collaboration with BharatBenz led to the unveiling of India’s first hydrogen fuel cell-powered luxury coach, equipped with Reliance’s indigenous hydrogen fuel cell, with a promising range of approximately 400 kms. Reliance also introduced swappable EV battery technology, building upon its acquisitions of Faradion and Lithium Werks. The inauguration of Jio-bp’s advanced Compressed Bio-Gas retailing network and the expansion of the Jio-bp pulse EV charging network highlight Reliance’s dedication to promoting green mobility. These efforts, along with partnerships to commercialise proprietary technologies such as Multi-zone Catalytic Cracking (MCC), exemplify the Company’s progress towards an optimal mix of reliable, clean, and affordable energy. Reliance’s Approach to TCFD Guided by the philosophy of ‘We Care’, Reliance embraces the evolving landscape of climate-related disclosures, recognising that it extends beyond mere corporate obligations. The Company has reported in line with the Task Force on Climate- Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations, which are now embedded into the broader framework of IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures under the ISSB Standards. These disclosures reflect the Company’s commitment to transparency and proactive management of climate-related risks and opportunities as it progresses towards its Net Carbon Zero objective by 2035.

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 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. We are committed to meet the aspirations of all our stakeholders. This is demonstrated in shareholder returns, high credit ratings, awards and recognitions, 62 governance processes and an entrepreneurial performance focused work environment. 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. 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. We believe, our governance standards must be globally benchmarked. Therefore, we have institutionalised the right building blocks for future growth. 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. We believe, Corporate Governance is not just a destination, but a journey to constantly improve sustainable value creation.

We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI’s Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Standalone 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 Standalone Financial Statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. Sr. No. Key Audit Matter 1. Litigation matters Auditor’s Response The Company has certain significant ongoing legal proceedings Our audit procedures included and were not limited to the for various complex matters with the Government of India following: and other parties, continuing from earlier years, which are as under: 1.

Matter relating to trading in shares of Reliance Petroleum Limited (‘RPL’): − Reviewed the disclosures made by the Company in the Standalone Financial Statements. − Obtained Management representation letter on the assessment of these matters. Securities Appellate Tribunal judgement dated 5th November, 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 the Company in the stock exchanges in 2007 in the shares of Reliance Petroleum Limited, then subsidiary of the Company, against which an appeal has been filed with the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India which is pending. Refer Note 36(IV) to the Standalone Financial Statements. 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. 2. Fair Valuation of Investments As at 31st March, 2024, the Company has investments of C 78,093 crore in Equity and Preference Shares of Jio Digital Fibre 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 (fibre assets). Accordingly, it has been considered as a key audit matter. Our audit procedures included and were not limited to the following: − Tested the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of the controls established by the Company in the process of determination of fair value of the investments. − Reviewed the fair valuation reports provided by the management by involvement of internal valuation specialists. − Assessed the assumptions around the cash flow forecasts, discount rates, expected growth rates and its effect on business and terminal growth rates used and the valuation methodology inter-alia through involvement of the Refer Notes 2 and 38A to the Standalone Financial internal specialists.

Information Technology (IT) systems and controls over financial reporting We identified IT systems and controls over financial reporting Our procedures included and were not limited to the following: 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.

The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, but does not include the Consolidated Financial Statements, 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 the other information is materially inconsistent with the Standalone Financial Statements, or our knowledge obtained during the course of our 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. 120 Reliance Industries Limited − Tested the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of IT application controls in the key processes impacting financial reporting of the Company by engaging IT specialists. − Tested the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of controls relating to data transmission through the different IT systems to the financial reporting systems by engaging IT specialists. Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone Financial Statements 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 Ind AS specified under Section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the 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 and Board of Directors 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 the Board of Directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. The Company’s Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process. Auditor’s Responsibility 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 financial controls 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 Standalone 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 the 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 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 Standalone 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. Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Standalone Financial Statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Standalone Financial Statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors (i) in planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the Standalone Financial Statements. 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 controls with reference to financial statements 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 of the current period 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. Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements 1. As required by Section 143(3) of the Act, based on our audit, we report that: a) We have sought and obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purposes of our audit.

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 with reference to Standalone Financial Statements 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”).

Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements of the Company 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”) issued by the ICAI and the Standards on Auditing prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements. 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 Standalone Financial Statements was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

Corporate Information Reliance Industries Limited (“the Company”) is a listed entity incorporated in India. The registered office of the Company is located at 3rd Floor, Maker Chambers IV, 222, Nariman Point, Mumbai - 400 021, India. The Company is engaged in activities spanning across hydrocarbon exploration and production, Oil to Chemicals, Retail and Digital Services. B. Material Accounting Policies: B.1 Basis of Preparation and Presentation The Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for following assets and liabilities which have been measured at fair value amount: i) Certain Financial Assets and Liabilities (including derivative instruments), ii) Defined Benefit Plans – Plan Assets and iii) Equity settled Share Based Payments The Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared to comply with the Indian Accounting standards (‘Ind AS’), including the Rules notified under the relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, (as amended from time to time) and Presentation and disclosure requirements of Division II of Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013, (Ind AS Compliant Schedule III) as amended from time to time. The Company follows indirect method prescribed in Ind AS 7 – Statement of Cash Flows for presentation of its cash flows. The Company’s Financial Statements are presented in Indian Rupees (C), which is also its functional currency and all values are rounded to the nearest crore (C00,00,000), except when otherwise indicated. B.2 Summary of Material Accounting Policies (a) Current and Non-Current Classification The Company presents assets and liabilities in the Balance Sheet based on Current/ Non-Current classification considering an operating cycle of 12 months being the time elapsed between deployment of resources and the realisation/ settlement in cash and cash equivalents there- against. (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 138 Reliance Industries Limited 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. 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 and Other segment which are depreciated using straight line method. Depreciation is provided based on useful life of the assets as prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 except in respect of the following assets, where useful life is as under: Particular Depreciation Fixed Bed Catalyst (useful Over its useful life as life: 2 years or more) technically assessed Fixed Bed Catalyst (useful 100% depreciated in the life: up to 2 years) year of addition Plant and Machinery (useful Over its useful life as life: 25 to 50 years) technically assessed Buildings (Useful life: 30 to Over its useful life as 65 years) 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. (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. Initially the right of use assets measured at cost which comprises initial cost of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date plus any initial direct costs incurred. Subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation/ amortisation, accumulated impairment losses, if any and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. The right-of-use assets is depreciated/ amortised 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. 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. The Company assesses if useful life of an intangible asset is finite or indefinite. A summary of amortisation/depletion policies applied to the Company’s Intangible Assets to the extent of depreciable amount is as follows: Particular Amortisation / Depletion Technical Over the useful life of the underlying Know-How assets ranging from 5 years to 35 years. Computer Over a period of 5 years. Software Development W.r.t. Oil and Gas, depleted using the Rights unit of production method. The cost of producing wells along with its related facilities including decommissioning costs are depleted in proportion of oil and gas production achieved vis-à-vis Proved Developed Reserves. The cost for common facilities including its decommissioning costs are depleted using Proved Reserves. With respect to other development rights, these are amortized over the period of contract. Particular Amortisation / Depletion Others In case of Jetty, the aggregate amount amortised to date is not less than the aggregate rebate availed by the Company. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for Intangible Assets with a finite useful life are reviewed at each reporting date. (e) 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 finished goods, work-in-progress, raw materials, chemicals, stores and spares, packing materials, trading and other products are determined on weighted average basis. (f) 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. (g) 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 Integrated Annual Report 2023-24 139 Notesto the Standalone Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March, 2024 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. (h) Current Tax and Deferred Tax The tax expenses for the period comprise of current tax and deferred tax. The Company exercises judgment in computation of current tax considering the relevant rulings and reassesses the carrying amount of deferred tax assets at the end of each reporting period. (i) Share Based Payments 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. (j) Foreign Currencies Transactions and Translation 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. (k) 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. 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 completion of 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 140 Reliance Industries Limited 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. (l) Financial Instruments i. Financial Assets Purchase and sale of Financial Assets are recognised using trade date accounting. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are measured at transaction price. The Company has elected to account for its investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture at cost less impairment loss (if any). 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. The investments in preference shares with the right to 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. Other Financial Assets are generally measured at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss (FVTPL) except where the Company, based on the business model objectives, measures these at Amortized Cost or Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income (FVTOCI). The Company uses ‘Expected Credit Loss’ (ECL) model, for evaluating impairment of Financial Assets other than those measured at Fair Value Through Profit or 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 Hedges that meet the criteria for hedge accounting are accounted for as follows: − 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 For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts are determined to 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. 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. 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. B. Fair Value Hedge 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. iv. 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. (m) Accounting for Oil and Gas Activity Oil and Gas Joint Arrangement 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. The Company follows the Guidance Note on Accounting for Oil and Gas producing activities – Ind AS issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India for the purposes of the accounting. 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 Integrated Annual Report 2023-24 141 Notesto the Standalone Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March, 2024 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. 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.

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. (C) 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. (D) 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. (E) Fair Value Measurement For estimates relating to fair value of financial instruments refer note 38 of financial statements. 142 Reliance Industries Limited Integrated Annual Report 2023-24 143 Notesto the Standalone Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March, 2024 1.1 Right-of-Use (Land) includes: i) C 6,923 crore (Previous Year C 6,923 crore) towards investment in preference shares representing right to hold and use all the immovable properties of the investee entity. 1.2 Buildings includes: i) ii) Cost of shares in Co-operative Societies of C 2,69,200 (Previous Year C 2,03,200).

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. 29.2 Share Based Payments a) Scheme details The Company has Employees’ Stock Option Scheme i.e. ESOS-2017 under which options have been granted at the exercise price of C 10 per share to be vested from time to time on the basis of performance and other eligibility criteria.

The Company maintains 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. The Company referred the issue to arbitration with GOI for resolution of disputes. The demand from the GOI of $ 165 million (C 1,373 crore) being the Company’s share (total demand $ 247 million – C 2,060 crore) towards additional Profit Petroleum has been considered as contingent liability in the financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2024. 188 Reliance Industries Limited Integrated Annual Report 2023-24 189 Notesto the Standalone Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March, 2024  In supersession of the Ministry’s Gazette notification no. 22011/3/2012-ONG.D.V. dated 10th January, 2014, the GOI notified the New Domestic Natural Gas Pricing Guidelines, 2014 on 26th October, 2014. The GOI had directed the Company to instruct customers to deposit differential revenue on gas sales from D1D3 field on account of the prices determined under the guidelines converted to NCV basis and the prevailing price prior to 1st November, 2014 ($ 4.205 per MMBTU) to be credited to the gas pool account maintained by GAIL (India) Limited. The amount so deposited by customer to Gas Pool Account is C 295 crore (net) as at 31st March, 2024. Revenue has been recognized at the GOI notified prices on GCV basis, 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. 35.4 (a) The Government of India (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 contesting its unfair claim. The Arbitral Tribunal vide its Final Award dated 24th July, 2018 upheld Contractor’s claims. GOI filed an Appeal on 15th November, 2018 before the Single Judge Bench of Hon’ble Delhi High Court (DHC), against the Final Award. Vide Judgment dated 9th May, 2023 the Hon’ble Single Judge of DHC upheld the Arbitration Award and dismissed GOI’s appeal challenging the Award. An appeal was filed by GOI before the Division Bench of DHC to set aside single judge’s judgment which is presently sub-judice. (b) Arbitration was initiated by BG Exploration and Production India Limited and the Company (together the Claimants) against GOI under the PSCs for Panna – Mukta and Tapti blocks due to difference in interpretation of certain PSC provisions between Claimants and GOI. The Arbitration Tribunal has issued a number of final partial awards in this matter, some of which have (in part) not been in Claimant’s favour.

The Company has a risk management framework aimed at prudently managing the risk arising from the volatility in commodity prices and freight costs. The Company’s commodity risk is managed centrally through well-established trading operations and control processes. In accordance with the risk management policy, the Company 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. iii) Credit Risk 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 Company. Credit risk arises from Company’s activities in investments, dealing in derivatives and receivables from customers. The Company ensure that sales of products are made to customers with appropriate 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. 194 Reliance Industries Limited Integrated Annual Report 2023-24 195 Notesto the Standalone Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March, 2024  The Company has a prudent and conservative process for managing its credit risk arising in the course of its business activities. C. Hedge Accounting 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 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 Dollar Offset method and critical term matching method. The hedge ineffectiveness can arise from: The Company’s liquidity is managed centrally with operating units forecasting their cash and liquidity requirements. Treasury - Differences in the timing of the cash flows. 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 - Different indexes (and accordingly different curves). - The counterparties’ credit risk differently impacting the fair value movements. instrument or counterparty.

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. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. Sr. No. Key Audit Matter 1.

Refer Note 35 (III) to the Consolidated Financial Statements. 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. 2. Fair Valuation of Investments As at 31st March 2024, the Parent has investments of C 78,093 crore in Equity and Preference Shares of Jio Digital Fibre 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 (fibre assets). Accordingly, it has been considered as a key audit matter. Refer Notes 2 and 37A to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revenue Recognition (a) The auditors of Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited (‘RJIL’), a step-down subsidiary of the Parent, have reported revenue recognition as a key audit matter due to the high volumes of data processed by the IT systems and the complexity of those IT systems. In respect of the key audit matter reported to us by the auditors of RJIL, we performed inquiry of the audit procedures performed by them to address the key audit matter. As reported by the subsidiary auditors, the audit procedures performed by them included and were not limited to the following: − Evaluated and tested the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of the relevant business process controls, inter-alia controls over the capture, measurement and authorisation of revenue transactions, involving internal Information Technology (IT) specialists for the automated controls, interface controls and reports generated through various relevant IT systems involved in the revenue process. − Involved internal IT specialists and tested the IT environment inter-alia for access controls, change management and application specific controls in the IT Systems over RJIL’s billing and other relevant support systems. − Tested collections and the reconciliation between revenue per the billing system and the financial records. Performed procedures to test the computation of revenue and deferred revenue. (b) The auditors of Reliance Retail Ventures Limited (‘RRVL’), In respect of the key audit matter reported to us by the auditors of a subsidiary of the Parent, have reported revenue recognition as a key audit matter at its subsidiary RRVL, we performed inquiry of the audit procedure performed by them to address the key audit matter. As reported by the subsidiary viz., Reliance Retail Limited (‘RRL’). RRL is engaged in auditors, the audit procedures performed by them included and organised retail and the trading transactions generating were not limited to the following: revenue comprising of high volume of individually small transactions which increases the risk of revenue being recognised inappropriately and which highlights the criticality of sound internal processes of summarising and recording sales. RRL trades in various consumption baskets on a principal basis and recognises full value of consideration as its revenue. The revenue is recognised on transfer of control of traded goods to the customers. Transfer of control coincides with collection of cash or cash equivalent from customers. In view of the above and since revenue is a key performance indicator for RRL, revenue recognition is identified as a key audit matter. 4. Information Technology (IT) systems and controls over financial reporting We identified IT systems and controls over financial reporting as a key audit matter for the Parent 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 Parent’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 206 Reliance Industries Limited − Obtained understanding of the process followed by the management to record the revenue from each store. − Evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of the internal controls established by RRL over reconciliation of revenue recorded with underlying collection made by RRL. − Involved information technology specialist to test the automated controls and reports involved in the reconciliation of revenue. − On a test-check basis, selected samples of stores on various dates. For such selections, obtained details of revenue recorded through various modes of payment from RRL’s accounting system.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon − The Parent’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, Standalone 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, compare with the financial statements / financial information of the joint operations, subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates audited by the other auditors, to the extent it relates to these entities and, in doing so, place reliance on the work of the other auditors and consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Consolidated Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. Other information so far as it relates to the joint operations, subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates, is traced from their financial statements / financial information audited by the other auditors. − 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 and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements The Parent’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements that give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position, consolidated financial performance including − Tested the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of IT application controls in the key processes impacting financial reporting of the Parent by engaging IT specialists. − Tested the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of controls relating to data transmission through the different IT systems to the financial reporting systems by engaging IT specialists. other comprehensive income, consolidated cash flows and consolidated changes in equity of the Group including its associates and joint ventures in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India including Ind AS specified under Section 133 of the Act. 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 the assets of the Group and its associates and its 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 design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements by the Directors of the Parent, as aforesaid. In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, the respective Management and 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 respective entities to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the respective Board of Directors either intend to liquidate their respective entities or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. The 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 Responsibility for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Consolidated Financial Statements as a Integrated Annual Report 2023-24 207 Independent Auditor’s Report 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 financial controls 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 Parent has adequate internal financial controls with reference to Consolidated 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 the 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 208 Reliance Industries Limited 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 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 or business activities included in the Consolidated Financial Statements of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities or business activities included in the Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been audited by the 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. Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Consolidated Financial Statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Consolidated Financial Statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors (i) in planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the Consolidated Financial Statements. We communicate with those charged with governance of the Parent 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 financial controls with reference to financial statements 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 of the current period 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.

Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls The respective Board of Directors of the Parent, its subsidiary companies, its associate companies and joint venture companies, which are companies incorporated in India, are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements based on the internal control with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements criteria established by the respective Companies 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 Act. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the internal financial controls with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Parent, its subsidiary companies, its associate companies and its joint venture companies, which are companies incorporated in India, 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”) issued by the ICAI and the Standards on Auditing, prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements. 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 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 Consolidated 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 of the subsidiary companies, associate companies and joint venture companies, which are companies incorporated in India, 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 of the Parent, its subsidiary companies, its associate companies and its joint venture companies, which are companies incorporated in India. 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 Integrated Annual Report 2023-24 213 Independent Auditor’s Report 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 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 control 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 to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us and based on the consideration of the reports of the other auditors referred to in the Other Matters paragraph below, the Parent, its subsidiary companies, associate companies and joint venture companies, which are companies incorporated in India, have, in all material respects, an 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 31st March, 2024, based on the criteria for internal financial control with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements established by the respective companies 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. Other Matters Our aforesaid 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 insofar as it relates to 102 subsidiary companies, 32 associate companies and 12 joint venture companies, which are companies incorporated in India, is based solely on the corresponding reports of the auditors of such companies incorporated in India.

Corporate Information The Consolidated Financial Statements comprise financial statements of “Reliance Industries Limited” (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “the Group”) for the year ended 31st March, 2024. The Company is a listed entity incorporated in India. The registered office of the Company is located at 3rd Floor, Maker Chambers IV, 222, Nariman Point, Mumbai - 400 021, India. The principal activities of the Group, its joint ventures and associates consist of Oil to Chemicals (O2C), Oil and Gas, Retail and Digital Services. Further details about the business operations of the Group are provided in Note 38 – Segment Information. B. Material 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: (b) (c) (d) (e) 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. 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). 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. The differences in accounting policies of the Company and its subsidiaries / joint ventures / associates are not material and there are no material transactions from 1st January, 2024 to 31st March, 2024 in respect of subsidiaries / joint ventures / associates having financial year ended 31st December, 2023. i. Certain Financial Assets and Liabilities (including derivative instruments), B.3 Summary of Material Accounting Policies ii. Defined Benefit Plans – 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 Consolidated Financial Statements. 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 (C) and all values are rounded to the nearest crore (C 00,00,000), except when otherwise indicated. B.2 Principles of Consolidation (a) The financial statements of the 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 intra- group transactions. 224 Reliance Industries Limited (a) Current and Non-Current Classification The Group present assets and liabilities in the Balance Sheet based on Current / Non-Current classification considering an operating cycle of 12 months being the time elapsed between deployment of resources and the realisation / settlement in cash and cash equivalents there- against. (b) Business Combination 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. (c) Property, Plant and Equipment Property, Plant and Equipment are stated at cost, net of recoverable taxes, trade discount and rebate less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, 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. 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 and Other Segment, which are depreciated using straight line method. Depreciation is provided based on useful life of the assets as prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 except in respect of the following assets, where useful life is as under: Particular Depreciation Fixed Bed Catalyst (useful Over its useful life as life: 2 years or more) technically assessed Fixed Bed Catalyst (useful 100% depreciated in the life: up to 2 years) year of addition Premium on Leasehold Land Over the period of lease (range up to 99 years) term Plant and Machinery (useful Over its useful life as life: 25 to 50 years) technically assessed Buildings (useful life: 30 to Over its useful life as 65 years) 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. (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. Initially the right of use assets measured at cost which comprises initial cost of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date plus any initial direct costs incurred. Subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation/ amortisation, accumulated impairment losses, if any and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. The right-of-use assets is depreciated/ amortised 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. (e) Intangible Assets Intangible Assets are stated at cost of acquisition net of recoverable taxes, trade discount and rebate less accumulated amortisation / depletion and impairment loss, 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. 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. The Group assesses if useful life of an intangible asset is finite or indefinite. A summary of the amortisation / depletion policies applied to the Group’s Intangible Assets with a finite life to the extent of depreciable amount is as follows. Particulars Amortization Technical Over the useful life of the underlying Know-How assets ranging from 5 years to 35 years Computer Over a period of 5 to 10 years. Software Development With respect to Oil and Gas, depleted Rights using the unit of production method. The cost of producing wells along with its related facilities including decommissioning costs are depleted in proportion of oil and gas production achieved vis-à-vis Proved Developed Reserves. The cost for common facilities including its decommissioning costs are depleted using Proved Reserves. With respect to other development rights, these are amortized over the period of contract. License Fee Amortised over the remainder of the license period from the date of commencement of the commercial operation. Integrated Annual Report 2023-24 225 Notesto the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March, 2024 Particulars Amortization Spectrum Amortised from the date of Fees commencement of commercial operation over the balance validity period, based on the expected pattern of consumption of the expected future economic benefits, in accordance with the applicable Accounting Standards. Others In case of Jetty, the aggregate amount amortised to date is not less than the aggregate rebate availed by the Group. In case of Platforms and related Product Developments, over a period ranging from 5 to 25 years. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for Intangible Assets with a finite useful life are reviewed at each reporting date. (f) 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 finished goods, work-in-progress, raw materials, chemicals, stores and spares, packing materials, trading and other products are determined on weighted average basis. (g) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group 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 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 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 226 Reliance Industries Limited of discount is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. (h) 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 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. (i) Current Tax and Deferred Tax The tax expenses for the period comprise of current tax and deferred tax. The Group exercises judgment in computation of current tax considering the relevant rulings and reassesses the carrying amount of deferred tax assets / liabilities at the end of each reporting period. (j) Share Based Payments 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. (k) Foreign Currencies Transactions and Translation 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. (l) 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. 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 completion of 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 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. (m) Financial Instruments i. Financial Assets Purchase and sale of Financial Assets are recognised using trade date accounting. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are measured at transaction price. The Company has elected to account for its investments in associates and joint venture at cost less impairment loss (if any). 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 Group 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. The investments in preference shares with the right to surplus assets which are in nature of equity in accordance with Ind AS 32 are treated as separate category of investment and measured at Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income (FVTOCI). Other Financial Assets are generally measured at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss (FVTPL) except where the Group, based on the business model objectives, measures these at Amortized Cost or Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income (FVTOCI). The Group uses ‘Expected Credit Loss’ (ECL) model, for evaluating impairment of Financial Assets other than those measured at Fair Value Through Profit Or 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 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 For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts are determined to 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 & 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. 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 liabilities. Integrated Annual Report 2023-24 227 Notesto the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March, 2024  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. 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. iv. 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. (n) Accounting for Oil and Gas Activity Oil and Gas Joint Arrangement 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. The Group follows the Guidance Note on Accounting for Oil and Gas producing activities – Ind AS issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India for the purpose of accounting. 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 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. C. Critical Accounting Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty The preparation of the Group’s financial statements require 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 require 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) Property Plant and Equipment / Other Intangible Assets Estimates are involved in determining the cost attributable to bringing the assets to the location 228 Reliance Industries Limited 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. (C) 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. (D) Impairment of Goodwill, Intangible Assets under Development and Intangible Assets with Indefinite Useful Life Management reviews the carrying value of goodwill, intangible assets under development and intangible assets with indefinite useful life annually, to determine whether there has been any impairment by allocating the value of goodwill, intangible assets under development and intangible assets with indefinite useful life to a Cash Generating Unit (CGU). The Group has identified CGUs’ for this purpose, considering the nature of the businesses to which each of the CGU relates. Value in use i.e. the enterprise value of each CGU is aggregate of cash flow projections, for five years as approved by Senior Management and beyond five years extrapolated using a long-term growth rate which ranges from 2% to 5%. Cash flow projections are discounted by a pre-tax discount rate, being the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC), which ranges from 8% to 12%. The Management believes that any reasonably possible change in the above key assumptions on which recoverable amount is based would not cause the aggregate carrying amount to exceed the aggregate recoverable amount of the CGU. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives have been allocated to the respective CGUs. During the year ended March 31, 2024, the Group has determined that there is no impairment towards these assets. (E) 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. (F) Fair Value Measurement For estimates relating to fair value of financial instruments refer Note 37 of Consolidated Financial Statements. (G) Leases 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 are variable or a combination of both.

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. 254 Reliance Industries Limited Integrated Annual Report 2023-24 255 Notesto the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March, 2024 28.2 Share Based Payments 1) Reliance Industries Limited a) Scheme Details The Company has Employees’ Stock Option Scheme i.e. ESOS-2017 under which options have been granted at the exercise price of C 10 per share to be vested from time to time on the basis of performance and other eligibility criteria.

The main objectives are as follows: a) Maintain investment grade ratings for all issuing entities, domestically and internationally by ensuring that the financial strength of their Balance Sheets are preserved. b) Manage foreign exchange, interest rates and commodity price risk, and minimise the impact of market volatility on earnings. c) Diversify sources of financing and spread the maturity across tenure buckets in order to manage liquidity risk. d) Leverage optimally in order to maximise shareholder returns.

The arbitration is ongoing and a final award is yet to be issued. The arbitration has also led to satellite litigation in India (presently ongoing) and in the UK, which has resulted in court judgments that have not always been entirely in RIL’s favour (c) NTPC filed suit in 2006 for specific performance of contract for supply of natural gas of 132 trillion BTU annually for a period of 17 years. This suit is still pending adjudication in the Bombay High Court and the Company’s fact witnesses in the suit are to be cross examined by NTPC. 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. 35.

Financial Risk Management ii) Commodity Price Risk 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 minimise 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. 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. iii) Credit Risk 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 The following table shows foreign currency exposures in US Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen on financial instruments function, with a framework in place to quickly identify, respond and recognise cases of credit deterioration. at the end of the reporting period.

The Group issues debt in a variety of currencies based on market opportunities and it uses derivatives to hedge interest rate exposures. The exposure of the Group’s borrowings and derivatives to interest rate changes at the end of the reporting period are as follows: Particulars Borrowings Non-Current - Floating (Includes Current Maturities) * Non-Current - Fixed (Includes Current Maturities) * Current # Total Derivatives Foreign Currency Interest Rate Swaps Rupees Interest Rate Swaps (C in crore) Interest Rate Exposure As at 31st March, 2024 As at 31st March, 2023 1,47,418 1,22,254 56,868 1,21,093 1,11,932 82,577 3,26,540 3,15,602 18,466 66,420 12,079 50,500 * Includes C 1,582 crore (Previous Year C 1,190 crore) as Prepaid Finance Charges and C 110 crore (Previous Year C 127 crore) as fair valuation impact. # Includes C 226 crore (Previous Year C 319 crore) as Commercial Paper Discount. 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.

C. Hedge Accounting 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: Particulars Nominal Value Quantity Carrying Amount (Kbbl) (Kgs) Assets Liabilities Changes in Fair Value Hedge Maturity Line Item in Balance Sheet (C in crore) As at 31st March, 2024 Interest Rate Risk Derivative Contracts 17,362 Investments 20,072 - - - - 155 - 20,253 - (155) April 2025 to March 2029 181 February 2033 to November 2033 Other Financial Liabilities Investments 13,685 53,032 6,017 408 250 158 April 2024 - December 2024 Other Financial Asset/ Liabilities 7,825 - - - 142 (142) October 2023 to January 2027 Other Financial Liabilities - Current 23,536 52,012 - 719 164 293 April 2023 to January 2024 Other Financial Assets / Liabilities Carrying Amount Assets Liabilities Changes in Fair Value (C in crore) Line Item in Balance Sheet - 37,492 (59) Non-Current Borrowings - 408 (408) Other Current Assets / 22 9,221 - - 22 155 Liabilities Other Current Assets Inventories - - 7,701 124 Non-Current Borrowings 378 (12) Other Current Assets / 84 14,872 - - 57 (338) Liabilities Other Current Assets Inventories Commodity Price Risk Derivative Contracts As at 31st March, 2023 Interest Rate Risk Derivative Contracts Commodity Price Risk Derivative Contracts Hedged Items Particulars As at 31st March, 2024 Interest Rate Risk Borrowings Commodity Price Risk Firm Commitments for purchase of feedstock and freight Firm Commitments for sale of products Inventories As at 31st March, 2023 Interest Rate Risk Fixed rate borrowings Commodity Price Risk Firm Commitments for purchase of feedstock and freight Firm Commitments for sale of products Inventories 278 Reliance Industries Limited Integrated Annual Report 2023-24 279 Notesto the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March, 2024 B.
