Any idea wht is Reliancedoing with huge amount of borrowing on its book , Amount of interest paid on borrowing is also big, At the same time they have good reserves .
Can anyone tell why company will borrow so much when they have reserves , refer highlighted section?
Cost of borrowing in Foreign Currency is cheaper than deploying in INR locally. They donât need to hedge since earnings are USD / USD denominated.

Also, reserves are just accounting numbers, there is no real cash in the bank to pay off the liabilities from reserves.

Google and Apple do the same borrow money even if Cash reserves are there.
Cheaper money coz west prints a lot of money

Maybe a stupid question, probably a result of me not being in India for over 6 years -
What is underlying the financials business they are spinning off?
They have some sort of an nbfc license, but those are doled out like freebies - and definitely not difficult for any large company one of some sort.
Would appreciate more information.
A quick search seems to suggest this is still in ideation phase. So the business doesnât really exist yet.

Just a view Jio financial:
-
RIL is transferring 41.28cr shares (held by RIIH on behalf of RIL) to Jio financial, on the current market prices it is worth 1Lak Cr.
-
Jio Financial demerger rationale could be an aggressive expansion of the financial services division without hampering the debt profile of the consolidated entity & the RBI rule of mandatory listing on exchanges post crossing a networth of 500cr.
-
It is very interesting to note Piramal enterprise after their pharma demerger, became a pure play financial services company.
- Ajay Piramal confirmed that Anand Piramal is involved in the financial services business & will be heading it after him.
- Piramal Finance has a large presence across financial services which could take years to build for Jio Financials.
-Speculation: Since Anand Piramal is the son-in-law of Mukesh Ambani, There is a decent chance that Jio Financial & Piramal Finance could merge.
On a price-to-book multiple of 3x & considering the networth to be about 1lakcr, JIO financial could probably be valued at 3lakcr.
Disclosure: No holdings.

So they are essentially funding an entity with capital, and listing it and now we will have to wait for it to come out with a tangible plan.
Would be interesting to see how they use the existing retail and Jio Digital network. Probably see more consolidation in the financial services space.
