Notably, the company is currently under investigation by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a fake bank guarantee case. Anil Ambani’s Reliance Group faces allegations of money laundering and loan fraud. The ED has summoned Ambani on 14 November for questioning in connection with an alleged bank loan fraud involving the State Bank of India (SBI). Earlier this month, the agency attached assets worth over Rs 7,500 crore. Amid the ongoing investigations, the new deal is expected to provide some relief to the company. The sharp turnaround is reviving hopes of a long-shot comeback for the beleaguered ADAG Group. After years of corporate struggles and financial setbacks, Anil Ambani is quietly orchestrating a revival of the Reliance Group. Once a strong force, most of the businesses have been reduced to financial debris. However, Reliance Power and Reliance Infrastructure, are now leading the charge as Ambani charts a comeback. From a dramatic fall after the 2008 crash and the collapse of key ventures, Anil Ambani’s group is now seeking redemption by aligning with national priorities, clean energy and defence.
