Mumbai, May 23, 2010:* Reliance Industries Ltd. (RIL), led by Shri Mukesh D. Ambani, and Reliance ADA Group companies, Reliance Communications Ltd., Reliance Infrastructure Ltd., Reliance Natural Resources Ltd., and Reliance Capital Ltd., led by Shri Anil D. Ambani, have today approved and signed an Agreement cancelling all existing non-compete arrangements entered into between the two groups in January 2006 pursuant to the scheme of reorganization of the Reliance Group, and entered into a new, simpler non-compete Agreement with respect to only Gas Based Power Generation.

The above Agreements have been approved by the Boards of Directors of RIL and the respective Reliance ADA Group companies.

The cancellation of the existing non-compete Agreement as above will provide enhanced operational and financial flexibility to both groups, and greater ability to participate in high growth sectors of the Indian economy, such as oil and gas, petrochemicals, telecommunications, power, and financial services. However, RIL has agreed not to enter into the Gas Based Power Generation Business for the period upto March 31, 2022. An appropriate exception has been made in respect of RIL’s captive gas based power plants.

These developments will eliminate any room for any further disputes between the two groups, on matters relating to the scope and interpretation of the non-compete obligations.

RIL and Reliance Natural Resources Ltd. (RNRL) will expeditiously negotiate Gas Supply arrangements, in accordance with the order of the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India, and hope to conclude these negotiations very soon.

RIL and Reliance ADA Group are hopeful and confident that all these steps will create an overall environment of harmony, co-operation and collaboration between the two groups, thereby further enhancing overall shareholder value for the shareholders of both groups.
