A Meta subsidiary has acquired a 30% stake in Reliance’s REIL through an Rs 853 crore share allotment, signaling deeper collaboration between the global tech giant and India’s conglomerate. The investment strengthens Meta’s strategic positioning in India’s fast-growing digital ecosystem.
Reliance Industries on Wednesday (February 25, 2026) announced a major change in the ownership structure of its step-down subsidiary, Reliance Enterprise Intelligence Limited (REIL). It is followed by the completion of a large share allotment worth Rs 853.20 crore.
Reliance Industries said it received the formal intimation regarding the allotment on February 25, 2026, at 6:40 p.m. IST. The disclosure was signed by Company Secretary and Compliance Officer Savithri Parekh.
While RIL’s Reliance Intelligence Ltd invested Rs. 596.6 Cr in the subsidiary for a 70% stake, Meta subsidiary Facebook Overseas poured in the remaining Rs. 256.6 Cr for a 30% stake. Following this, REIL has now become a subsidiary of the company.
It is important to highlight that Reliance and Meta had announced the joint venture (JV) to build and scale enterprise AI solutions with an initial investment of about ₹855 Cr back in August 2025.
“Partnering with Meta brings our vision of providing AI to every Indian and enterprise to life – by combining Meta’s most widely adopted open‑source Llama models with our deep expertise across multiple industries. RIL will also serve as a real‑world enterprise‑scale environment for deploying and refining the JV’s offerings – enabling rapid iteration and continuous improvement at scale,” RIL’s chairman Mukesh Ambani had said back then.
The total transaction value stands at Rs 853.20 crore and marks a strategic partnership between Reliance and global tech giant Meta Platforms, Inc., through its subsidiary.
The company said all necessary approvals for the investment have been obtained. It clarified that the transaction between REIL and Facebook Overseas is not a related party transaction. The allotment to Reliance Intelligence Limited qualifies as a related party transaction, though it has been carried out on an arm’s length basis.
The company noted that this move follows earlier disclosures made on August 29, 2025, September 10, 2025, and October 25, 2025, indicating that the partnership has been in the works for several months.
