On the other hand, Ambit is the biggest bear on RIL with a target price as low as Rs 1,300 and a sell call. Out of the 27 brokerage houses, 25 have a Buy/Add recommendation.
The median target price of all brokerages stands at Rs 1,640, about 15% upside from current price.
"RIL's June quarter earnings will not inspire the confidence we had hoped for both in energy and consumer retail. However, the miss in energy earnings was caused by temporary factors related to lower availability of cheaper crudes and expensive fuel oil; it should bounce back sharply in the current quarter. The weak top--line growth in retail reflects a very bumpy path ahead. The bright spot was New Energy, which we believe will surprise," Morgan Stanley said while maintaining its overweight call with a target price of Rs 1,617.

Most analysts said RIL's Q1 results were a mixed bag with positive momentum in Jio offset by slower-than-forecast retail revenue.
Kotak Institutional Equities, which downgraded the stock to add from buy rating, also reduced the target price from Rs 1,650 to Rs 1,520, saying that valuations are richer and the upside looks limited after the recent run-up in share prices.
RIL shares
have rallied around 17% so far in the calendar year.
Investors will now focus on the upcoming AGM within two months and look for further announcements on growth plans in FMCG, the ramp-up of new energy facilities, the expansion of the media business, acceleration of growth in retail, the ramp-up of subscriber additions and monetisation for Jio along and the IPO of Jio, CLSA said.
BofA Securities said beyond Q1, it continues to see steady to
improving momentum across all businesses.

Raj FM urged to oppose plan to hike GST on garments
Jaipur: After a group of ministers in the 55th meeting of the GST Council proposed to increase GST from 12% to 18% on readymade garments costing more than Rs 1,000, the state industry appealed to the state finance minister, Diya Kumari, to raise the issue and oppose the move. The Garment Exporters Association of Rajasthan (GEAR) said clothing is a necessity item and should not attract such steep taxes. GEAR president Rakshit Poddar said, "If GST goes up to 18%, it will have a bigger impact on the middle-class consumers, who usually buy garment pieces in the range of Rs 1,000 to Rs 2,500." He said inflation made raw material costlier, raising the cost of commonly used items. Echoing similar sentiment, the general secretary of the garment body, Amit Maheshwari, said many women are engaged in making ethnic clothes whose costs are relatively higher. "If the taxes go up, the women engaged in the ethnic wear segment will face difficulties. It will impact 5 lakh artisans in the state," said Maheshwari. GEAR suggested that 5% GST can be levied on garments costing up to Rs 25,000 and 18% on garments that are priced more than Rs 25,000.

Project delayed, Rera tells builder to refund Rs 39 lakh to homebuyer in Gurgaon
Gurgaon: Haryana Real Estate Regulatory Authority (HRera) has directed Assotech Ltd to refund Rs 38.5 lakh to a homebuyer for failing to deliver possession of a flat in its Assotech Blith project in Sector 99, Gurgaon. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The complainant, Vineet Minocha, booked a 3BHK unit (G-503) in 2012 for Rs1 crore, with possession promised by March 2016. Despite paying Rs38 lakh, the unit remained incomplete. The builder later sought consent to resell the unit, promising a refund within two months—yet failed to deliver. HRera has now ordered a refund of the paid amount with 11% interest. Minocha had submitted a consent letter in July 2021, allowing the developer to resell the unit and refund the amount. The developer returned Rs 13.5 lakh but failed to refund the remaining dues. The complainant then approached HRera seeking recovery of the balance amount. During the proceedings, the promoter argued that the delay was caused by external factors, including the liquidation of the contractor Assotech Ltd by the Delhi high court, Covid-19 disruptions and pollution-related curbs. They also challenged the authority's jurisdiction, claiming the agreement was terminated after the consent letter was issued. However, rejecting these contentions, HRera ruled that the complainant remained entitled to relief under Section 18(1) of the Real Estate (regulation and development) Act, 2016. The authority cited the promoter's failure to fulfil contractual obligations within the agreed timeline as grounds for a refund with interest. "The promoter is liable to refund the paid-up amount of Rs 38,57,714 along with interest at 11.10% per annum from the date of each payment till actual realisation," stated HRera member Ashok Sangwan. The authority directed the refund to be completed within 90 days, failing which legal consequences would follow.
