Reliance
denies private gain to Mukesh on ONGC and TCS IPOs
Mumbai: Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) has clarified
that Smart Entrepreneur Solutions Pvt. Ltd and Smart Infosolutions
Pvt Ltd, which were among the top bidders in the ONGC
and TCS public offers, do not belong to its Chairman and
Managing Director, Mukesh Ambani.
It
said the two companies belonged to Reliance Communications
Infrastructure Ltd (RCIL), reportedly the holding company
of Reliance Infocomm. However, Ambani and associates are
said to hold about 55 per cent stake in RCIL, and RIL
the rest.
RIL
issued the clarification regarding the ownership of the
two companies after a newspaper reported that the two
companies belonged to Ambani and that they diverted about
Rs1,600 crore from Reliance Infocomm into the ONGC and
TCS public offers.
The report also alleged that the companies repeatedly
changed their names and registered offices to hide the
money trail. It said the two companies could have made
a killing when the shares listed at a large premium on
the exchanges.
RIL
clarified that RCIL did not borrow from any banks or financial
institutions to provide funds to two of its companies
for subscribing to the IPO. "In fact, RCIL provided
funds from its own sources. It is libelous to say that
the money was diverted from Reliance Infocomm to these
companies," it said in a release.
It
also aid there is no private gain for Mr Ambani and there
is no loss to RIL or its shareholders.
