Reliance unveils big push into India power sector
MUMBAI, June 18 (Reuters) – Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance
Industries (RELI.BO: Quote, Profile, Research), recently freed from a pact that banned it
from competing with his brother’s firms, unveiled a push into
the power sector that gave little detail at a hotly anticipated
shareholder meeting.
Ambani, 53, has been avidly pursuing entry into markets
that his younger brother, Anil, 51, is in, ever since the
long-estranged siblings ended their agreement last month not to
compete directly with each other.
