revenue and a around-zero tax legal responsibility. O2C & retail skipped anticipations, but RJio conquer forecasts. When restoration is underway, it is combined.
But, transparency levels are slipping throughout businesses. RIL has stopped reporting a vital matrix—GRM—altogether. In the same way, it has ceased giving division-intelligent turnover breakdown for retail and RJio’s vital driver FTTH lacks granularity. In our view, most important stock triggers—deleveraging, asset monetisation, digital momentum—have performed out.
