  • These investments are widely expected to be utilized towards fulfilling Ambani's goal of clearing Reliance Industries' net debt of 1.61 lakh crore.

    The target is slated to be achieved by March 2021, but going by the company's current pace, experts believe the dues will be cleared by December itself.

    Notably, the target of raising Rs. 1.04 lakh crore by June has already been achieved.
