Strategic Expansion Plans
In parallel with the launch of the RGCC, Reliance Infrastructure Ltd. and Reliance Power Ltd., two flagship entities of the Group, have been making significant strides in their growth plans. Both companies recently achieved zero bank debt status, further solidifying their financial strength.

To fund these ambitious growth plans, the companies have announced a combined Rs 17,600 crore fundraising effort, which includes:
- Rs 4,500 crore through preferential equity issues
- Rs 7,100 crore from Varde Partners via equity-linked long-term Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds (FCCBs)
