The Hindu
Mutual decision taken due to evolving nature of Reliance’s business portfolio
Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) and Saudi Aramco have mutually decided to disengage from a major investment proposal concerning the O2C [Oil to Chemicals] business of RIL. The deal was estimated to be about $15 billion.
“Due to the evolving nature of Reliance’s business portfolio, Reliance and Saudi Aramco have mutually determined that it would be beneficial for both parties to re-evaluate the proposed investment in O2C business in light of the changed context,” RIL said in a late night statement on November 19.
“Consequently, the current application with NCLT for segregating the O2C business from RIL is being withdrawn,” the statement added.
