Reliance Industries Ltd.'s promoter group increased its stake in the company during the April-June quarter through market purchases estimated at ₹8,500 crore-₹9,000 crore, as per news reports.
The latest shareholding pattern filed with the stock exchanges showed promoter ownership rising to 50.48% from 49.52% at the end of the March quarter, taking the holding above the 50% mark.
The increase was reported ahead of the company's June-quarter financial results due later on July 17, 2026.
The stake increase was made under the Securities and Exchange Board of India's (SEBI) creeping acquisition regulations.
The framework allows promoters holding at least 25% in a listed company to acquire up to an additional 5% of voting rights in a financial year without triggering a mandatory open offer, provided the prescribed conditions are met.
These acquisitions are typically executed through purchases in the secondary market and reflected in quarterly shareholding disclosures.
The June-quarter filing showed the promoter group now comprises 47 entities, compared with 46 in the previous quarter. Sikka Ports & Terminals Ltd. was added as a promoter group entity during the period.
Apart from this addition and the increase in ownership, the filing did not show any other material change in the promoter shareholding structure.
Among individual promoters, Mukesh Ambani, Nita Ambani, Isha Ambani, Akash Ambani and Anant Ambani each hold 1.61 crore shares, representing a 0.12% stake each. Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani owns 3.14 crore shares, equivalent to a 0.24% stake.
Most of the promoter stake continues to be held through promoter group entities. Srichakra Commercials LLP remains the largest shareholder with an 11.12% stake, while Devarshi Commercials LLP, Karuna Commercials LLP and Tattvam Enterprises LLP each hold 8.20%.
Among institutional investors, foreign portfolio investors held 17.06% of Reliance Industries at the end of the June quarter.
Domestic mutual funds owned 10.11%, while insurance companies held 9.20%, including Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) with a 6.88% stake. Retail investors accounted for 7.16% through 44.7 lakh shareholders.
