“We have delivered strong operational results during the quarter with a robust revival in ‘O2C’ and ‘Retail’ segments, and steady growth in our ‘Digital Services’ business. I am proud that Reliance has employed 50,000 more people since March 2020,” said Mukesh Ambani, Chairman and Managing Director, Reliance Industries.
“I am especially pleased that the world is now closing ranks for strong global action on Climate Change. This gives Reliance the right opportunity to accelerate our own ambitious ‘New Energy’ and ‘New Materials’ business wedded to the vision of clean and green development,” he added.
According to the RIL CMD, in line with this vision, the company’s oil-to-chemicals (O2C) business has formally reorganised its reporting segments to reflect new strategy and management matrix for this enterprise.
“The reorganised structure will facilitate holistic and agile decision making and enable us to pursue attractive new opportunities for growth, with strategic partnerships with the best and the biggest in this business globally,” he said.
Besides, he said the O2C platform will increasingly move further downstream and become closer to customers.
He further said it will create planet friendly and affordable energy and materials solutions to meet the growing needs of every sector of the Indian economy.
