Reliance Industries Ltd.
The Reliance Group is India's largest private sector enterprise, with businesses in the energy and materials value chain and annual revenues in excess of US$ 28 billion. The flagship company, Reliance Industries Ltd., is a Fortune Global 500 company and is the largest private sector company in the country.

Starting with textiles in the late seventies, Reliance pursued a strategy of backward vertical integration - in polyester, fibre intermediates, plastics, petrochemicals, petroleum refining and oil and gas exploration and production - to be fully integrated along the materials and energy value chain.

The Group's activities span exploration and production of oil and gas, petroleum refining and marketing, petrochemicals (polyester, fibre intermediates, plastics and chemicals), textiles, retail and special economic zones.

Reliance enjoys global leadership in its businesses, being the largest polyester yarn and fibre producer in the world and among the top five to ten producers in the world in major petrochemical products.

In September 2008, just over two years of its discovery, RIL commenced production in its KG-D6 block off East Coast of India with sweet crude of 420 API making it the world's fastest green-field deepwater oil development project. In April 2009, RIL commenced gas production from India’s first deep water production facility significantly impacting key sectors including fertilizer and power as also reducing foreign exchange and subsidy burden. RIL is presently the largest producer of gas in the country. After the commissioning of the 580,000 barrels of oil per day refinery, Reliance Petroleum Limited (RPL) became the 6th largest refinery in the world and also amongst the world's most complex refineries.

At Reliance every effort is taken to bring about a radical change for the better. It is an endeavor to make each day an inflection point redefining the future, be it enterprise, technology or corporate social responsibility.

Reliance considers ‘Corporate Social Responsibility’ as an integral part of its corporate framework. The CSR activities are spread across several internal and external areas including education, health, rural infrastructure development, livelihood support training, environment and promoting sports and sportspersons to name a few.

Education and Health are the two sectors where RIL works closely in public private partnership with the Government and NGOs. Prevention and awareness of HIV/AIDS and combating TB, Drishti – a nation-wide corneal grafting drive to bring light into the lives of visually challenged from the underprivileged segment of society along with National Association for the Blind (NAB) are some of the initiatives spearheaded by RIL.

Cognizant about the fact that inclusive and sustainable development is sacred obligation of every institution in the country; Reliance announced the formation of the Reliance Foundation in November, 2009. The foundation is established with the vision to become the foremost professional philanthropic organization in the world. The Reliance Foundation will develop specific programs and projects that will address some of the most pressing challenges that India faces today. Under the Reliance Foundation, Reliance is also setting up a new age world class private university which will promote education and research in all disciplines of knowledge from science and technology to liberal arts. The private university will forge partnerships with reputed universities from around the world and be international in scale and best practices.

The Reliance Group owns the popular Mumbai Indians (MI) franchise which is a part of the Indian Premier League (IPL). MI is supporting the cause of Education for All and is mobilizing support through its ‘Mumbai Indians Wrist Band’. MI has associated with partners like Akanksha, Pratham, Teach for India, Ummeed and Nanhi Kali who have done exemplary work in the field of education, to create national awareness and impact.

Reliance Industries Limited is proud to be associated with the Real Heroes initiative of CNN-IBN for the third consecutive year.
