These were bought by retail investors who are now taking advantage of the rally in Reliance Group’s shares. In the last three weeks, several positive things have happened in Reliance Group, which has led to a rise in the shares of group companies.
Reliance Infrastructure has announced to raise Rs 550 crore from the promoter group and VSFI Holdings Pvt Ltd, a subsidiary of Varde Investment Partners, LLP. The board of Reliance Power has approved the proposal to issue 59.5 crore preferential shares and 73 crore warrants to its promoter company Reliance Infrastructure for a total of Rs 1,325 crore.
