Reliance Slips 1% Ahead of AGM; Kokilaben Ambani Hospitalised, ADAG Group Stocks Under Pressure
Mumbai, August 22, 2025 – Shares of Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) slipped nearly 1% in Friday’s session as investors remained cautious ahead of the company’s upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM). Adding to the headlines, the Ambani family’s matriarch, Kokilaben Ambani, was admitted to hospital in an emergency late Thursday night. Meanwhile, ADAG Group stocks saw sharp swings as the group continues to work on a turnaround strategy while staying under regulatory watch.
Reliance Shares Dip Ahead of August 29 AGM
Reliance Industries shares were trading nearly 1% lower during market hours as investors adopted a wait-and-watch stance before the AGM scheduled for August 29. The market is widely expecting clarity on the long-anticipated Jio IPO timeline, along with updates on retail, digital expansion, and new energy investments.
Analysts say that Reliance’s AGM has historically been a major trigger for the stock and broader market sentiment. Any announcements on succession planning, 5G growth, or capital expenditure could influence the company’s next phase of growth.
Kokilaben Ambani Admitted to Hospital
In a separate development, Kokilaben Ambani, the 91-year-old mother of Mukesh and Anil Ambani, was admitted to HN Reliance Foundation Hospital in Mumbai following a health emergency.
Family members were seen arriving at the hospital late Thursday night. While no official statement on her health has been released, sources indicate that her condition is being closely monitored by doctors. Kokilaben Ambani has long been regarded as the guiding force of the Ambani family and played a crucial role during the division of Reliance between Mukesh and Anil in 2005.
ADAG Group Stocks Show Volatility
Shares of the Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group (ADAG) traded under pressure after a recent run-up. Counters such as Reliance Power and Reliance Infrastructure witnessed selling, even as the group attempts a turnaround with debt restructuring and sectoral pivots into defence and energy.
Market experts believe the recovery in some ADAG counters has improved sentiment, but regulatory scrutiny and pending investigations continue to keep investors cautious.
Market Outlook
ADAG Group stocks may remain volatile as optimism around revival clashes with regulatory overhang.
Reliance AGM on August 29 will be the key event for Dalal Street, with investors eyeing updates on Jio’s listing plans and long-term growth roadmap.
Kokilaben Ambani’s health remains a matter of concern for the family and Reliance stakeholders alike.
