INDIA NEWS | Thu, 28 May 2026, 3:07PM IST New Delhi: Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) said it secured multiple landmark overseas financing deals in FY26, including the largest Samurai loan raised by an Indian corporate, while Chairman and Managing Director Mukesh Ambani continued to forgo salary for the sixth consecutive year despite the company posting record profits.According to RIL's Integrated Annual Report 2025-26, S&P Global Ratings upgraded the company's international debt rating from BBB+ to A- in December 2025, reflecting the "rising contribution from less cyclical, consumer-facing businesses resulting in improved earnings stability."Also Read: RIL announces AGM date on June 19; updates on Jio IPO in focus"The rating upgrade will provide RIL access to new pools of capital at finer spreads," the company said in the annual report.The report said FY2025-26 unfolded amid "heightened market fluctuations" driven by tariff uncertainty, geopolitical tensions and volatility in currency and bond markets, but Reliance was still able to raise financing "across currencies and products at competitive cost for long tenors."Among the key transactions, Reliance tied up a JPY 91.9 billion, or around $625 million equivalent, Samurai loan."This was the largest Samurai loan ever by an Indian corporate and the third-largest ever by an Asian corporate," the company said.The annual report also highlighted two export credit agency-backed financing transactions that were firsts of their kind globally.RIL said it secured around $500 million equivalent Korea Trade Insurance Corporation (KSURE)-supported untied facilities to finance capital expenditure."This is KSURE's first untied facility for any corporate globally," the report stated.In another transaction, Reliance tied up around $600 million equivalent Nippon Export and Investment Insurance (NEXI)-supported untied facilities linked to its solar photovoltaic and battery gigafactories."This is NEXI's first untied facility for any corporate globally. The facility has the longest average tenor for any Export Credit Agency supported facility globally," the company said.The company said its liquidity strategy focuses on maintaining "a strong cash reserve" and sufficient undrawn credit lines to manage market volatility and funding requirements.RIL's financial performance during FY26 remained strong, with consolidated revenue rising 9.8 per cent year-on-year to Rs 11,75,919 crore, while net profit increased 17.8 per cent to Rs 95,754 crore."RIL has become the first Indian company to cross $10 billion in annual net profit," Mukesh Ambani said in his message to shareholders in the annual report.The report added that Reliance continued to fund its expansion plans "through strong internal accruals while maintaining a robust balance sheet."As of March 31, 2026, the company's gross debt stood at Rs 3,74,421 crore, while net debt stood at Rs 1,24,717 crore. The debt-to-equity ratio remained at 0.41:1.Also Read: Mukesh Ambanis $4 billion Jio IPO hits Iran war roadblockAlongside the financing milestones, the annual report showed that Mukesh Ambani continued to draw nil remuneration from the company for the sixth straight year from FY2020-21 to FY2025-26.According to the disclosure, Ambani received "Nil remuneration from the company. This means no salary, no allowances, no perquisites, no retiral benefits, no commission, and no stock options for six years running."The company said Ambani had voluntarily decided to forgo his remuneration in June 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic and had continued the decision thereafter.Reliance also noted that before the pandemic, Ambani had voluntarily capped his remuneration at Rs 15 crore annually since FY2008-09 for 12 consecutive years despite the company's growth in revenue and profitability.

INDIA NEWS | Thu, 28 May 2026, 1:29PM IST Mumbai: Even as Indias labour code reforms will significantly simplify compliance and improve ease of doing business over the long term, the transition could create near-term complexity for companies, experts have pointed out.Organisations with multi-state operations could face complications in navigating overlapping regimes, as central rules are now being notified even while most state-level rules are still evolving. This could create a patchwork regulatory environment, forcing companies to continue with older state compliance in some cases while simultaneously preparing for the new central rules.Also read: Employees terminated for business reasons are entitled to compensation and re-skilling funds under New Labour CodeThe transition to the new Labour Codes is encouraging organisations to fundamentally modernise their compensation and compliance frameworks, with wage restructuring emerging as one of the most significant focus areas. While the exercise is operationally intensive, companies increasingly see it as an opportunity to create more transparent, compliant, and sustainable salary structures, said Lokesh Gulati, Partner, PwC India.Over the long term, industry expects the reforms to create more consistent wage structures, stronger social security coverage, improved compliance governance, and a more streamlined employment ecosystem overall, added Gulati.Only a few states, including Gujarat, Bihar and Arunachal Pradesh, have fully notified their rules so far, while most others remain in progress. Until these are in place, companies are expected to operate in a hybrid model, which could increase administrative complexity in the interim and require parallel compliance systems.Compliance alignment is emerging as the immediate pressure point. Companies across sectors such as banking, telecom, aviation, and insurance are likely to see faster adoption of central rules, while others may need to recalibrate in response to evolving state-level notifications and their applicability.At the same time, the underlying reform thrust is clearly towards simplification. The consolidation of multiple laws into four codes is expected to reduce compliance burden over time, with a sharp reduction in the number of returns, registers and licences required. Legacy structures involving over 30 returns and several dozen registers are being replaced with a limited set of consolidated filings and records.Also read: Labour reforms: Govt fully operationalises four new codes by publishing rulesDigitisation is expected to be a key structural shift. The move towards technology-driven inspections and a facilitator-led regulatory approach could reduce discretion and improve transparency. Systems such as centralised portals and digital inspection frameworks are intended to replace traditional inspection regimes, altering how companies engage with regulators.Changes in wage structures could also require adjustments. While overall wage costs may not increase uniformly, social security contributions could rise due to revised wage definitions. This could lead companies to revisit salary structures, reclassify allowances and reassess provisioning, particularly in sectors with large and diverse workforces.A major driver of restructuring is the revised definition of wages, which brings greater uniformity in how statutory benefits such as provident fund, gratuity, bonus, and overtime are calculated. Traditionally, many organisations - particularly in white-collar sectors - followed compensation models in which a large portion of pay was structured as allowances and variable components to optimise statutory outflows. Under the new framework, companies are reassessing these structures to ensure that the basic wage component remains compliant with prescribed thresholds, said Gulati of PwC India.Contract labour remains another area where companies could see tighter expectations. Greater accountability has been placed on principal employers, including responsibility for contractors' compliance failures, structured grievance redressal timelines, and clearer wage progression norms. These changes could require more oversight and tighter operational controls.Industry feedback suggests that many organisations are not far from the revised wage thresholds in terms of basic pay structures. However, the effort lies in the reclassification of pay elements, alignment of HR policies and consistency across workforce categories, including contract and gig workers.Worker-centric measures are also being strengthened. The introduction of a national floor wage, formal grievance mechanisms and broader social security constructs could improve labour protection and standardisation across states. At the same time, this could require companies to recalibrate cost structures and compliance processes.Several critical elements of the framework remain work in progress. Clarity on social security schemes, implementation contours for gig and platform workers, and timelines for full state adoption are still awaited. These gaps could prolong uncertainty in the near term.For India Inc, the labour code rollout signals a significant reset of the compliance landscape. While the reforms could deliver long-term efficiency and transparency benefits, the transition phase could demand careful execution, system upgrades and sustained regulatory alignment.
