(RIL), India’s premier conglomerate, recently unveiled its financial performance for the fourth quarter of FY25 and announced a significant fundraising initiative on April 25, 2025. The company plans to raise up to ₹25,000 crore through the issuance of secured and unsecured non-convertible debentures.
