Besides, RIL Chairman Mukesh Ambani is likely to speak on the future roadmap after the company successfully managed to become net-debt free after a few weeks of aggressive capital-raising.

The success of Reliance’s rights issue is also expected to feature in Ambani’s address to the company’s shareholders.

However, all eyes will be on any announcements regarding Jio Platforms, the digital arm of RIL.

The company has already made its idea of transformation clear: To become a leading technology-first consumer-oriented company from just an energy and power company.

There are chances that Ambani will disclose further plans related to Jio Platforms. The AGM will begin at 2 pm through video conferencing.
