'Will approach NCLT with our proposal to spin off our O2C biz into a separate subsidiary,' Ambani announced.

The oil-to-chemical business has outperformed in a challenging environment, he said, adding that this accounted for 50 percent of India's export. He further announced that RIL has been approached by strategic investors in its petrochemicals business.

Taking about the Saudi Aramco deal, he informed that due to unforeseen circumstances and COVID 19, the deal with Saudi Aramco has not progressed as per the earlier timeline.

Mukesh Ambani further said that the company has received interest from strategic and financial investors to invest in Reliance Retail and he would induct global and strategic partners into the business.
