Reliance Industries Limited (RIL), led by Mukesh Ambani, is set to hold its 49th Annual General Meeting (AGM) today at 2 pm via video conferencing. Investors are keenly anticipating updates on the Jio Platforms IPO, retail expansion strategy, and advancements in the company's new energy business.
Data from past AGMs reveal varied stock performance. On August 28, 2025, following the announcement of the Jio IPO, RIL shares fell over 2% on the day but gained nearly 1.3% in the subsequent week. The 47th AGM on August 29, 2024, saw a 1.5% gain on the day, followed by a 0.7% drop, with shares ending the week nearly 2% lower. In 2023, shares fell over 1% on the day of the 46th AGM and continued to decline in the following week.
Technical analysis indicates that RIL shares have rebounded from a recent low of Rs 1,253, entering a consolidation phase. Sudeep Shah from SBI Securities notes that the stock is trading within a narrow range of Rs 1,334–1,306, with momentum indicators suggesting a bearish bias. The 1,370–1,375 zone is identified as a strong resistance level.
“Momentum indicators also reflect a cautious outlook, with the MACD line positioned below both the signal line and the zero line, suggesting a bearish bias.”

Morgan Stanley maintains an 'Overweight' rating on RIL shares, with a target price of Rs 1,803, suggesting a 36% upside potential. The brokerage highlights the company's strengths in processing diverse crude grades and its strategic investments in solar and energy storage as key growth drivers.
Investors can watch the AGM live on Reliance Industries' digital platforms. The event is expected to feature significant updates from Chairman Mukesh Ambani and senior leadership across various business segments.
“We think Reliance remains well positioned given its ability to process heavy and sour crude grades, access cheaper feedstocks and maintain one of the most diversified crude sourcing portfolios globally.”
