Once ranked the world’s sixth richest man by Forbes, Anil Ambani saw his empire crumble post-2010, with mounting debt and underperforming businesses. But now, Reliance Infrastructure and Reliance Power—once written off—are staging a surprising recovery in the stock market.

⚠️ Investor Advisory: Caution Still Warranted
While stock prices have surged, the rally is largely driven by extraordinary income, debt clean-up, and forward-looking deals, not organic business turnaround. Execution of massive defence and energy projects will be key.
🧠 Final Take
Are these stocks a “buy” now?
The current valuation may seem attractive (especially with debt near zero and P/E below median), but investors should treat this as a high-risk recovery story, not a stable growth play. If momentum continues and execution meets expectations, the upside can be significant. But past governance issues and fragile revenue trends suggest a wait-and-watch or allocation-capped approach.
