Reliance Group

 Reliance Group


Reliance Commercial Corporation was set up in 1958 by Dhirubhai Ambani as a small venture firm trading commodities, especially spices and polyester yarn. Pursuing a strategy of backward integration and diversification, it opened its first textile mill in Naroda, Gujarat state, and was incorporated in 1966 as Reliance Textiles and Engineers, Ltd. Over the next decade its business focused on the textile industry even as it continued to expand.

Seeking to raise financial capital through means more accessible than India’s nationalized banks, Reliance took advantage of the recent “Indianization” of the stock market and floated an initial public offering (IPO) in 1977. The IPO, which issued 2.8 million shares, was credited with engaging small investors in the stock market and equity shareholding. Thousands attended the Reliance annual general meetings, which were sometimes held in a sports stadium, with many more watching on television. Company shares continued to attract investors despite the uncertainties of a stodgy economy, crippling government regulations, and political corruption, in part due to the shares’ handsome dividends as well as the founder’s charisma and vision.

With investors eager to own shares, Reliance expanded rapidly into sectors adjacent to its textile business, and in 1985 it became known as Reliance Industries Limited. After gaining the capacity to manufacture petrochemicals useful for synthetic textiles, such as polyester staple fibre and purified terephthalic acid, it later began manufacturing plastics and, eventually, refining petroleum. In 1991 Reliance opened a massive industrial complex in Hazira, Gujarat state, propelling the corporation to the forefront of production in the global polyester market. By the turn of the 21st century its new petroleum refinery in Jamnagar, Gujarat state, commanded a refining capacity far exceeding that of any other petroleum refinery in the world.

Chote Khan Tomb

  There are many legendary monuments located in Delhi. Some are lesser known, decaying & neglected, whilst there are others that make you wonder why they are not so famous after all?! Bade and Chote Khan’s twin tombs in South Extension are of the latter kind. They are magnificent structures, colossal enough to get noticed, located in a prominent area and also in pretty good shape too, but still, hardly anyone knows about them! It is basically a complex of twin tombs somewhat like the Dadi Poti tombs located near HKV. They form part of one of the major components of the Kotla Mubarakpur complex, which includes several other lesser known tombs, mostly from the pre-Mughal era, belonging to various kings and noblemen of the notable Lodi and Sayyid dynasties. As of now, they are scattered around the congested lanes of Kotla Mubarakpur village as well as the posh streets of the neighbouring South Extension locality. Bade Khan Ka Gumbad Slightly bigger of the two tombs, it dates back

Tomb of Bijri khan

TOMB  Of  BIJRI KHAN The tomb belongs to the Lodi period. Nothing is known about Bijri Khan’ - this is a signboard right outside Bijri Khan’s Tomb. This tomb is one of those out-of-the-blue monuments that jumps suddenly into focus as you drive on the wide roads of South Delhi’s R.K. Puram in Sector 3. The story, no one knows as it hasn’t been recorded, but people believe that Bijri Khan was a nobleman during the Lodi Dynasty and that's pretty much it!  The Lofty Structure Bijri Khan’s tomb is a mausoleum, a structure enclosing the interment space or burial chamber of the dead. The structure is square in shape, built on a raised platform. It is said to belong to the Lodi period, because it has three arched entrances with doorways with brackets on architraves (doorframes). This style is typical of structures built during the time of the Lodi Dynasty. The dome is both massive and impressive and the colour of the mausoleum is light cream mixed with brown, perhaps made out of ston
