Anil Ambani, chairman of the Reliance Group, has been addressing the company's financial situation and debt reduction efforts. In a February 2020 media conference call, Ambani stated that the Reliance Group had made aggregate debt servicing payments of over ₹35,000 crore in the 14-month period from April 1, 2018 to May 31, 2019, comprising principal repayments of ₹25,000 crore and interest payments of nearly ₹11,000 crore. He said that these payments were made "in the face of insurmountable odds and the most challenging financial environment in the country" and that lenders had provided "zero net additional liquidity or debt to any entity of the Reliance group" during that period. Ambani added that the group was "fully committed to meet all our future debt servicing obligations in a timely manner through further asset monetization plans." Ambani has also commented on the broader telecom sector and the group's defense business. In 2019, he stated that political parties were "misinformed, misdirected and misled by malicious vested interests and corporate rivals" regarding the Rafale fighter jet deal, and said that Reliance's role was limited to offset-related export opportunities for Indian defense manufacturers. In earlier appearances, Ambani discussed the "virtual merger" between Reliance Communications and Reliance Jio through spectrum sharing and trading agreements, and introduced his son Anmol Ambani as a director on the Reliance Capital board, attributing a 40% rise in the company's stock price to an "Anmol effect."
“The creation of world-class businesses is the real quest. I'm focused on the convergence of everybody towards the ultimate goal, and the ultimate goal for India as a country is to emerge as an economic superpower which is its rightful place.”
“I don't see anything wrong in trying to convince our point of view. When people are unsuccessful they want to hang their failures on our coattails, which I feel sad about, but that's not going to distract us from making Reliance a strong company.”
“I’d like to repeat the Reliance group has made aggregate debt servicing payments of over rupees 35,000 crores in the 14-month period from April 1, 2018 till May 31, 2019; these comprise principal repayments of a staggering 25,000 crores and interest payments of nearly 11,000 crores.”
“During this 14-month period lenders from all categories—whether banks, mutual funds, insurance companies, provident funds or NBFCs—have provided zero net additional liquidity or debt to any entity of the Reliance group.”
“To compound the matter, regulatory bodies and courts have not passed any final adjudication orders on claims aggregating to over rupees 30,000 crores that are due for more than five to ten years to our various group companies, especially Reliance Infrastructure, Reliance Power and their affiliates.”
“The debt servicing payments of the staggering amount of over rupees 35,000 crores have necessarily had to be made almost entirely from asset monetization despite a liquidity-starved environment and constrained operational cash flows.”
“Despite the continuing total apathy and lack of any support whatsoever from the financial system, which ultimately only significantly hurts the interest of lenders themselves as well as all other stakeholders.”
“Reliance Group has demonstrated its bonafides in no uncertain manner; we at the Reliance Group are fully committed to meet all our future debt servicing obligations in a timely manner through further asset monetization plans that are already at various stages of implementation.”
“I am personally confident that with the support of all my colleagues in the Reliance Group the journey we have undertaken to transform the group to be capital-light, bear minimal debt and generate higher return on equity will enhance the value for all our stakeholders.”
“The Reliance Group has made aggregate debt servicing payments of over rupees thirty-five thousand crores in the past 14 months, comprising principal repayments of 25,000 crores and interest payments of nearly 11,000 crores.”
“Lenders from all categories — banks, mutual funds, insurance companies, provident funds or NBFCs — have provided zero net liquidity to any entity of the Reliance Group during this 14-month period.”
“Hundred percent of all the lenders are fully supportive of the company's resolution plan and I have in principle approved the resolution plan which we hope will be completed over the next few months.”
“These political parties have been misinformed, misdirected and misled by malicious vested interests and corporate rivals on this subject.”
“This transaction is truly transformative; Reliance Group's gross debt will be reduced from about twenty-two thousand crores to just seven and a half thousand crores, representing a steep debt reduction of sixty-five percent in a record time of just over eight months.”
“Reliance Infrastructure aims to be a zero debt company next year, with a debt equity ratio of just 0.3:1, the lowest in the industry compared to peers with ratios as high as 8:1.”
