Reliance Industries (RIL) share price holds near its 52-week high. Here’s the latest news, analyst targets, and technical levels investors are watching as of 13 Dec 2025.
Reliance Industries Limited (NSE: RELIANCE, BSE: 500325) heads into the weekend sitting just below key breakout territory—an area traders obsess over because it’s where “steady uptrend” can suddenly become “headline rally.” The stock closed around ₹1,556.50 after Friday’s session (the most recent trading day, since Indian markets are shut on Saturday). [1]
But this isn’t only a chart story. The flow of developments across Reliance’s ecosystem—Jio IPO preparations, a clearer roadmap for a Reliance Retail IPO, fresh messaging around JioStar’s cricket rights, moves in streaming content, and shifts in crude sourcing—is feeding both short-term sentiment and longer-term valuation narratives.
Below is a full, news-style breakdown of what’s current as of 13.12.2025, plus the latest forecasts and technical analysis being cited by market watchers.
Reliance share price today: the latest levels investors are tracking
As of 13 Dec 2025 (with the last market close on 12 Dec):
- RIL share price: about ₹1,556.50 [2]
- Day range (last session): roughly ₹1,546.10 to ₹1,559.80 [3]
- 52-week range:₹1,114.85 to ₹1,581.30 [4]
- Market cap (ballpark): about ₹21.06 lakh crore (₹21.06T) [5]
The key “headline” context: RIL is trading close to its 52-week high, which tends to amplify reactions to both good news (breakout narratives) and bad news (failed breakout narratives).
What’s driving Reliance Industries stock right now: the most important news as of 13 Dec 2025
1) ICC and JioStar push back on exit rumours: “agreement fully in force”
One of the more immediate sentiment stabilisers for Reliance’s media narrative: the International Cricket Council (ICC) and JioStar issued a joint statement rejecting reports that JioStar planned to exit its media-rights agreement, saying the contract remains valid and that preparations for upcoming ICC events are progressing as planned. [6]
Why this matters for RIL stock: sports rights are expensive, and any uncertainty around obligations, renegotiations, or potential write-downs can spook investors—especially when the market is already hyper-sensitive to streaming economics.
2) JioHotstar doubles down on South India: $444 million content push
Reliance-Disney’s streaming platform JioHotstar is planning to invest $444 million (₹40 billion) over five years in South Indian content, aiming to deepen its position in regional entertainment and expand its subscriber base. [7]
This fits into a broader thesis many investors hold: Reliance’s consumer internet and media stack is trying to become “default” in India—more users, more time spent, more monetisation levers.
3) Jio Platforms IPO steps: draft prospectus work reported
A Reuters report, citing Bloomberg, said Reliance has started work on an initial draft prospectus for a listing of Jio Platforms—a development that keeps the long-running “unlock value via listings” narrative very much alive. [8]
Even without a confirmed timetable, markets often begin “pricing the possibility” well before they price the certainty—especially in mega-caps where big subsidiary events can shift valuation frameworks.
4) Reliance Retail IPO roadmap: 2028 target, measured expansion, sharper profitability focus
Reliance has internally set a target of 2028 for a Reliance Retail IPO, according to The Economic Times. The same report highlights a plan to add ~2,000 net new stores per year, alongside a push to reduce debt and sharpen profitability ahead of a public listing. [9]
The article also describes stronger emphasis on quick commerce (including dark store expansion) and notes steps around balance sheet restructuring and internal reorganisation. [10]
5) Energy/O2C angle: Reliance cuts Russian crude intake sharply
In commodities-focused coverage, Reuters reported that Reliance has reduced Russian crude imports materially in December versus mid-year highs, with commentary tying the move to sanctions compliance and protection of overseas business exposure. [11]
For investors, the O2C (oil-to-chemicals) question is rarely “does Reliance refine oil?”—it’s “what do margins, crude differentials, and geopolitical constraints do to cash flows over the next 2–6 quarters?”
6) Official filings: S&P rating upgrade, JioStar merger update, and a cricket franchise investment
S&P rating upgrade (company filing): Reliance informed exchanges that S&P Global Ratings upgraded the credit rating on its Senior Unsecured US$ Fixed Rate Notes from BBB+ (Stable) to A- (Stable). [12]
For equity investors, a cleaner credit profile can matter indirectly: it can reduce financing friction and widen strategic flexibility when capex cycles or acquisitions heat up.
JioStar structure update (company filing): Reliance disclosed that Star Television Productions Limited (a subsidiary) merged with Star India Private Limited / Jiostar India Private Limited, effective Nov 30, 2025 (as per the subsidiary’s intimation). [13]
This is the kind of corporate plumbing that usually matters only when investors are modelling segment economics or anticipating future monetisation steps.
Oval Invincibles stake (company filing): A Reliance subsidiary acquired 49% of Oval Invincibles Limited for GBP 60.27 million, tied to the franchise ecosystem around The Hundred (with branding to MI London from 2026 noted in the release). [14]
This is smaller than the “core Reliance” drivers, but it reinforces how Reliance’s media/sports ambitions extend well beyond traditional broadcasting.
Reliance Industries stock forecast: analyst price targets and where consensus sits
The consensus “middle”: around ₹1,700
Aggregated analyst consensus estimates referenced by market data platforms cluster around the ₹1,700 zone:
- Investing.com shows an average 12-month target of ~₹1,700.83, with a high estimate ~₹2,020 and low estimate ~₹1,370, and a “Strong Buy” style consensus in its summary. [15]
- Trendlyne shows an average target of ₹1,704, implying roughly ~9–10% upside from around ₹1,556.50 in its snapshot. [16]
Takeaway: the “street” base case isn’t screaming multibagger—but it is broadly positioned for moderate upside, assuming execution across retail, digital, and O2C remains intact.
The bullish band: ₹1,785–₹1,820 (recent broker headlines)
Some of the more prominently reported brokerage targets in recent weeks have been higher:
- Jefferies retained a Buy and raised its target price to ₹1,785 (reported late Nov). [17]
- A Times of India roundup cited UBS with a Buy and a ₹1,820 target (mid/late Nov coverage). [18]
These targets are often tied to the idea that multiple segments can improve simultaneously—retail profitability, digital monetisation, and more stable O2C earnings.
The “wide cone of possibilities”: Morgan Stanley scenarios (context)
The Economic Times reported Morgan Stanley scenario targets that illustrate how wide the valuation envelope can get when analysts start changing assumptions:
- Base case cited around ₹1,701; bull case cited around ₹2,184 in that coverage. [19]
That kind of spread is basically the market admitting: “Reliance is not one business, so it won’t trade like one business.”
Reliance share price target: what technical analysts are saying on 13 Dec 2025
If fundamentals are the long game, technical levels decide the short-term drama.
“Retest the old peak” thesis: ₹1,610 as the boss level
ET Now quoted market expert Nimesh Thakkar saying RIL’s price action looks like strength, with a potential retest of the prior peak near ₹1,610. He flagged:
- A decisive move above ₹1,610 could open further upside
- A trailing stop-loss around ₹1,490 as a risk-management marker
- A possible move toward ₹1,750 if the stock enters new-high territory and momentum holds [20]
Indicator snapshot: Moneycontrol shows “outperform” signals and pivot levels
Moneycontrol’s technical page shows RIL:
- Trading above key moving averages (5/10/20/50/100/200-day in its summary table)
- RSI around the low 60s (not overheated, not sleepy)
- Pivot framework with resistance/support bands clustered around the mid-₹1,550s [21]
Options market tell: heavy interest around ₹1,560 calls
MarketsMojo highlighted notable call option activity around the ₹1,560 strike for the 30 Dec 2025 expiry, pointing to bullish positioning and the market’s fixation on the nearby resistance zone. [22]
Options activity doesn’t predict direction by itself—but it does tell you where traders think the fight will happen.
What could move Reliance Industries stock next week
With markets reopening on Monday (15 Dec), investors will likely watch:
- ₹1,560–₹1,610 zone: whether RIL consolidates below it, rejects it, or breaks through it (a classic “price discovery” trigger) [23]
- Follow-through on Jio IPO and Retail IPO narratives: more clarity tends to compress uncertainty discounts; silence tends to keep them in place [24]
- Media economics and sports rights headlines: especially after ICC–JioStar publicly rejected exit claims [25]
- Crude and refining spreads: and any policy or sanctions shifts that change procurement flexibility or margins [26]
Bottom line for RIL stock on 13 Dec 2025
Reliance Industries stock is behaving like a mega-cap that’s trying to do two things at once:
- Trade technically like it wants a breakout (near highs, crowded option strikes, momentum talk), and
- Re-rate fundamentally as investors keep revisiting the value-unlocking playbook: Jio listing optionality, Retail IPO preparation, and consumer ecosystem scale. [27]
The most “current” signal this weekend is that multiple uncertainty clouds—especially around sports media-rights rumours—are being actively addressed in public statements, while the longer-term monetisation narrative remains very much in motion. [28]
