In India, Reliance Industries Ltd. (RIL) was the first company to reach a market value of ₹21 lakh crore RIL’s stock price rose 20% this year, reaching a new high of ₹3,129 in early trade.
Reasons for Rise
RIL stock has risen due to Reliance Jio’s price rises. New options offer unlimited 5G internet starting at ₹189 per month for 2 GB and ₹3,599 per year for 2.5 GB per day. Market sentiment and sales growth improved with this technique.
Market Forecasts and Results
Jefferies raised its price target for RIL from ₹3,380 to ₹3,580, predicting a 17% gain from the previous close. RIL is ‘Buy’ and Jefferies anticipates Jio’s sales and profit to climb 18% and 26% yearly from FY24 to FY27.
Morgan Stanley has a ‘Overweight’ rating and a ₹3,046 target price. Recent tariff hikes should satisfy market expectations and generate energy cash flow by year’s end, according to the business. No tariff hikes are expected until FY27, but Morgan Stanley predicted a 20% increase next year might boost profitability by 10-15%.
Positive Industry Impact
Kotak Securities expects Bharti and Vi to rise in price. At a target price of ₹3,300, RIL expects a 10-12% CAGR in industry ARPU to reach ₹300 within 3-4 years. Jio needs growth to justify 5G investments and IPO.

Of 35 Reliance experts, 28 recommend ‘Buy,’ five ‘Hold,’ and two ‘Sell.’ This consensus reflects market trust in RIL’s strategy and growth.
Greater Market Context
RIL’s stock rise boosted Sensex and Nifty to record highs. In just four trading sessions, Reliance’s market valuation rose by ₹1,33,000 crore.
