Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries Seeks ₹25,500 Crore Loan to Settle Dues: Record Offshore Loan in 2025

As to a Bloomberg report, Reliance Industries Limited (RIL), under the leadership of Mukesh Ambani, is looking for a substantial offshore loan of up to $3 billion, or around ₹25,500 crore. Mumbai-based RIL is negotiating with about six lenders and intends to syndicate the loan to a wider market in 2025’s first quarter. The company would use the loan to assist pay off past-due bills, but the details are still being worked out and may change.

Given that RIL has over $2.9 billion in debt that is due to mature next year, the fresh financing comes at a crucial moment for the company. Since the business raised $8 billion (about ₹700 crore) in a record-breaking deal last year—the largest offshore loan obtained by an Indian borrower at the time—if sanctioned, it will be RIL’s first time back in the offshore market. The need for premium credits involving RIL was highlighted by the participation of about 55 institutions in the loan.

The study emphasizes that a difficult economic climate played a role in Reliance’s choice to apply for this loan. Significant outflows from local stocks caused the Indian rupee to fall to an all-time low vs the US currency in November. Moody’s confirmed its “Baa2” rating for RIL last week despite these economic challenges, pointing to the company’s strong credit metrics and capacity to sustain creditworthiness in the face of significant continuing capital expenditures.

This loan demonstrates RIL’s sound credit standing and proactive financial planning, which is uncommon for a business rated higher than India’s sovereign grade. RIL hopes to use its strong market presence and ability to negotiate the shifting global financial landscape to close the biggest offshore loan deal from India in more than a year as talks with lenders continue.
