India's largest conglomerate Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) has secured a spot among the world's 25 most valuable companies, with a net worth of $118 billion, positioning it alongside global giants like Microsoft, Alphabet, and Saudi Aramco.

As per Bloomberg data, RIL now ranks 21st globally, just behind prominent names like Alibaba, AT&T, and TotalEnergies. The company’s current valuation has placed it in the elite circle of top-tier corporations, signalling its growing influence on the global business stage.

Surpassing global energy giants

Reliance’s market capitalisation has surged to approximately $140 billion, surpassing the market value of major energy players such as Total SA and BP Plc. This places the company on par with some of the largest companies in the world. To put this into perspective, RIL's market value is now equivalent to the combined worth of 19 Nifty 50 companies, 35 public sector enterprises, and banks, or all the companies listed under the Nifty Smallcap 250 index.

Strategic fundraising and strong stock performance

On April 25, RIL’s board approved a fundraising initiative to raise up to ₹25,000 crore through bond issuances, signalling confidence in its long-term growth. Along with this, the board declared a ₹5.5 per share dividend for its shareholders. Despite a modest trading session, where the stock closed at ₹1,300.40 on the NSE, RIL has experienced a strong 2025, with its stock rising by 7% year-to-date, significantly outperforming the Nifty50 index, which has gained just under 2%.

RIL’s remarkable stock rally continues, with gains of 10% over the past month, 24% over three months, and a staggering 40% increase over the past year, placing it among the top 10 stocks on the Nifty index.
