The allotment of equity shares will happen on or about 10th June 2020. The rights shares are expected to be listed on the BSE and NSE on or around 12th June 2020 under separate ISIN.

 

The Company had launched a highly innovative campaign to create awareness about the Rights Issue, using broad-based and multiple means of communication. These included television, radio, print, digital and social media, first-of-its-kind AI-based chatbot, emails and SMS to reach out to the shareholders.

The Rights Entitlement (RE) was actively traded reflecting broad-based interest in the Rights Issue. This is the first instance of RE's being traded in demat form on the stock exchanges since SEBI introduced this platform and it was a resounding success.

A unique feature of RIL's Rights Issue was that, despite its record-setting magnitude, it was completed entirely on a digital platform, defying the formidable constraints imposed by the COVID-induced lockdown. And this too was a new record in the history of Indian and global capital markets. None of the stakeholders across 800 Indian cities and many financial centres abroad - regulators, bankers, financial institutions, retail investors and others - had to step out of their offices or homes, and yet everything related to the Rights Issue was conducted smoothly and with utmost efficiency.
