Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) spent Thursday’s session consolidating near record levels after a powerful two‑day rally that pushed its market capitalisation past the ₹21 lakh crore mark and set fresh 52‑week highs. The stock is now trading in a tight range at the very top of its one‑year band, with investors weighing recent big-ticket capex announcements and supportive brokerage commentary against stretched short‑term valuations.
Reliance Industries share price today, 27 November 2025
On Thursday, 27 November 2025, Reliance Industries opened strong at ₹1,575 and traded between roughly ₹1,556 and ₹1,575.5 on the NSE. According to end‑of‑day data, the stock closed around ₹1,557.7, down about 0.8% from Wednesday’s close of ₹1,569.9, on volume of just over 6 million shares. [1]
Real‑time quotes from Investing.com during the session showed RIL around ₹1,559–1,560, with a day’s range matching the 1,556–1,575.5 band and a 52‑week range of ₹1,114.85–₹1,575.50. [2]
Intraday data from MarketsMojo paints a similar picture of calm near the top: RIL saw about 15.1 lakh shares traded on Thursday, with a turnover exceeding ₹237 crore. The stock opened at ₹1,575, hit a fresh intraday peak of ₹1,575.5, and slipped to an early low of ₹1,565.7, with a last‑traded price around ₹1,566.8 at the time of that report – a marginal 0.1–0.2% dip from the previous close. [3]
Despite the mild pullback, Thursday’s action keeps RIL firmly parked near the very top of its yearly range. Over the past 12 months, the stock has delivered gains of over 20%, with the one‑year range stretching from about ₹1,115 to ₹1,575.5. [4]
Shorter‑term momentum also remains strong. A live blog from The Economic Times notes RIL’s three‑month return of roughly 13.4% and one‑month gain of more than 8%, underscoring how sharp the recent up‑move has been. [5]
After a powerful rally, market cap hovers around ₹21 lakh crore
The current consolidation comes immediately after a standout session on Wednesday, 26 November 2025, when RIL jumped about 2% and hit new 52‑week highs. PTI reports that the stock closed at ₹1,569.75 on the BSE and ₹1,569.90 on the NSE, after touching intraday highs of ₹1,571.80 and ₹1,571.60 respectively. [6]
That move lifted Reliance’s market capitalisation to roughly ₹21.24 lakh crore, making it one of the most valuable listed companies in India by a wide margin. [7] The rally in RIL – along with heavyweights such as HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank – was instrumental in propelling the Sensex and Nifty to fresh record territory, as multiple market reports have highlighted. [8]
Even with Thursday’s modest decline from the peak, the stock is only slightly off those record levels, implying that Reliance’s valuation still hovers close to the ₹21 lakh crore mark based on current prices.
Year‑to‑date, PTI and other business dailies peg RIL’s gains at around 29–30%, far outpacing many broader indices and cementing its role as a key driver of India’s equity market performance in 2025. [9]
Big trigger: $11 billion, 1 GW AI‑native data centre campus in Andhra Pradesh
A major narrative supporting the stock this week is the announcement of a large AI data‑centre investment in Andhra Pradesh.
On Wednesday, Digital Connexion – a joint venture of Reliance Industries, Brookfield and US‑based Digital Realty – signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Andhra Pradesh Economic Development Board (APEDB) to develop an AI‑native data centre campus in Visakhapatnam. [10]
Key details from the MoU, as reported by The Times of India and The Financial Express, include: [11]
- Total planned investment: about $11 billion (roughly ₹98,000 crore) by 2030.
- Planned capacity: 1 gigawatt (GW) of AI‑ready data centre capacity, making it one of India’s largest such projects.
- Land footprint: a proposed 400‑acre campus near Visakhapatnam.
- Infrastructure: AI‑compatible racks, power substations, and connectivity infrastructure designed for hyperscale workloads.
- Target clients: hyperscale cloud operators, large enterprises, and AI‑heavy workloads needing high‑density compute.
The project aligns with Andhra Pradesh’s ambition to host about 6 GW of data‑centre capacity by 2030, with Visakhapatnam emerging as a hub that already features major commitments from Google and Meta, among others. [12]
For Reliance, the JV extends its digital infrastructure stack beyond telecom (Jio) and consumer services into heavy AI compute – a space that sits at the intersection of data, energy and cloud infrastructure. That strategic overlap is particularly important given RIL’s parallel investments in new energy and its deep relationships with global tech majors, including its separate alliances with Google for AI and cloud initiatives. [13]
Brokerages remain positive: Motilal Oswal’s ₹1,765 target on RIL
Broker sentiment continues to tilt strongly in favour of Reliance.
A 27 November 2025 note from Motilal Oswal Financial Services, reported by Business Standard, pegs RIL as one of the brokerage’s top large‑cap growth bets, with a “BUY” rating and a target price of ₹1,765 per share. [14]
Key points from Motilal Oswal’s analysis include: [15]
- Q2 FY26 performance:
- Consolidated EBITDA up 5% quarter‑on‑quarter to ₹459 billion, broadly in line with expectations.
- Retail revenue up about 19% year‑on‑year, aided by festive demand, GST rationalisation and growing traction in quick commerce.
- Jio added around 8.3 million subscribers, with rising 5G engagement supporting ARPU and data usage.
- O2C (oil‑to‑chemicals) earnings rose about 3% QoQ, helped by stronger fuel cracks and higher throughput.
- Earnings outlook: Motilal Oswal expects RIL’s consolidated EBITDA and PAT to grow at around 10–11% CAGR over FY25–28, driven by consumer‑facing businesses (Retail and Jio), stabilising O2C, and contributions from new energy.
- Valuation view: Apart from the ₹1,765 target, separate Trendlyne data collating broker reports indicates an average target near ₹1,704 from three major brokers, with Motilal Oswal’s upside case at the top end of that range. [16]
The same Trendlyne dashboard highlights that RIL’s battery Giga factory in Jamnagar, with a planned capacity of 40 GWh per year and expected commissioning in early calendar 2026, has led the brokerage to raise its new energy business valuation to about ₹174 per share. [17]
Collectively, these broker views frame the current consolidation near ₹1,550–1,575 as being within a broader medium‑term bullish narrative anchored in earnings growth and capex visibility.
Technical picture: consolidation after a cup‑and‑handle breakout
Technically, RIL has been in focus since mid‑November, when it completed a significant bullish pattern on the charts.
An 18 November 2025 “Stock Radar” feature in The Economic Times noted that RIL had broken out of a “cup and handle” formation on daily charts, typically seen as a continuation pattern that can precede further upside. The article highlighted: [18]
- Strong support above its 200‑day moving average,
- Positive momentum indicators, and
- A medium‑term potential target above the ₹1,600 mark for traders.
With Thursday’s close still above ₹1,550 and the stock only a short distance from its 52‑week high of ₹1,575.5, that breakout remains intact. [19]
From a purely chart‑based perspective, the recent narrow trading band – roughly ₹1,556 to ₹1,575.5 on Thursday, following the big move earlier in the week – suggests a post‑breakout consolidation at higher levels. Technical analysts typically watch such phases closely: sustained closes above the breakout zone tend to be seen as confirmation, while any decisive drop below key moving averages would raise the risk of a deeper pullback.
Governance angle in the spotlight: LIC’s voting record on RIL
Alongside price and earnings, corporate governance has entered the Reliance conversation this week, driven by an extensive analysis of institutional voting patterns.
A detailed Mint investigation published on 27 November 2025 examines how Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) has voted on shareholder resolutions at Reliance and the Adani Group compared with other companies. [20]
Key takeaways from that report include: [21]
- Over the last 14 quarters, LIC has backed or not opposed every resolution put to shareholders by RIL and Jio Financial Services, approving all 63 proposals in that period.
- In contrast, LIC has more frequently rejected or abstained on similar resolutions at other large companies, including those in other conglomerates.
- LIC also supported virtually all Adani Group resolutions during the same timeframe, reinforcing the perception of a more lenient stance toward a handful of large promoters.
- Governance experts quoted in the piece argue that this pattern raises questions about consistency of stewardship standards at India’s largest institutional investor.
- LIC holds about 6.94% of RIL, a stake estimated at roughly ₹1.47 trillion, making it the company’s largest public shareholder and giving its voting record outsized significance for minority investors.
While this governance debate does not directly affect RIL’s day‑to‑day share price, it is increasingly being watched by ESG‑focused funds and long‑term institutional investors who care about board oversight, independence and shareholder rights.
Shifting energy mix: exit from Russian crude and progress on new energy
On the core energy side of its business, Reliance is also going through an important transition.
A 20 November 2025 report from Reuters notes that RIL has stopped importing Russian crude oil for its giant refinery complex at Jamnagar, effective that date. The company indicated that export cargoes from December would be processed from non‑Russian crude, amid tightening Western sanctions on certain Russian producers and traders. [22]
This pivot could have multiple implications:
- Margin dynamics: Russian crude had been available at a discount to Brent; shifting away could modestly change input costs, depending on replacement grades.
- Regulatory risk: Moving out of the sanctions crosshairs reduces the risk of secondary sanctions or trade disruptions.
- ESG optics: Some global investors may view the move as a positive step from a geopolitical and governance standpoint.
At the same time, broker research (including Motilal Oswal’s) continues to emphasise RIL’s new energy and battery investments – especially the Jamnagar battery Giga factory – as a key medium‑term growth driver, reinforcing the narrative of Reliance as a “multi‑engine” business spanning O2C, telecom, retail, digital and clean energy. [23]
How Reliance Industries stock looks to investors right now
Putting all of this together, what does RIL look like from an investor’s standpoint on 27 November 2025?
1. Price and momentum
- The stock is less than 2% off its 52‑week high, even after Thursday’s cool‑off. [24]
- One‑month and three‑month returns are strong (around 8% and 13% respectively), suggesting that short‑term momentum traders are sitting on sizeable gains. [25]
2. Valuation and broker stance
- A cluster of large brokerages maintain “Buy” or equivalent positive ratings with upside targets broadly in the ₹1,700+ region, implying mid‑teens percentage upside from Thursday’s close in their base cases. [26]
- That said, the nearer the stock trades to those target zones, the less headroom technical and value investors perceive in the short term, especially after a fast run‑up.
3. Business drivers
- Short‑ to medium‑term catalysts include:
- The $11 billion AI data‑centre JV in Visakhapatnam,
- Commissioning of the battery Giga factory from early CY26,
- Continued scaling of Jio’s 5G and Retail’s omni‑channel footprint, and
- Normalisation of O2C margins as RIL adjusts its crude sourcing mix. [27]
4. Risks to watch
- Execution risk on large capex projects (AI data centres, new energy) and the timing of returns.
- Regulatory and governance overhang – particularly if LIC’s stewardship practices and promoter influence become a larger part of the market conversation. [28]
- Commodity and macro swings affecting refining margins, consumer spending and capital flows into emerging markets.
Key levels and triggers to monitor in the coming sessions
For traders and investors tracking RIL over the next few days and weeks, some practical signposts include:
- Price zone around ₹1,550–1,575: This band currently marks the post‑breakout consolidation area. Holding above roughly the mid‑₹1,500s tends to support the bullish cup‑and‑handle thesis flagged by technical analysts earlier in the month. [29]
- 52‑week high near ₹1,575.5: A clean, high‑volume close above this level could signal another leg higher; repeated failures could indicate short‑term exhaustion. [30]
- Upcoming newsflow:
- Further clarity on the Visakhapatnam data‑centre project timeline,
- Updates on new energy investments and battery manufacturing,
- The next set of quarterly results and any guidance on O2C margins and consumer business growth.
