Reliance Industries: Saudi Arabia’s state energy group, Saudi Aramco, is in talks with Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) to buy up to a 25% stake in its refining and petrochemicals business.

In addition, Reliance Retail is in talks to acquire Hamleys from the Chinese company that owns the famed UK toy seller. Besides, the Indian conglomerate said on Wednesday that Japanese shipping group Mitsui OSK Lines Ltd will add six very large ethane carriers (VLECs) to its fleet through an investment deal with Reliance Industries Ltd.
Jet Airways: The cash-strapped carrier shuts down its operations. The company on Wednesday announced its last flight after 25years of operations as lenders refused to offer it Rs 400-crore lifeline.
Mindtree: The company has posted fourth-quarter results of FY19. It has matched its guidance and reported better growth by registering 3.9 per cent sequential rise in revenue. Additionally, the company has announced a special dividend - on the heels of a takeover bid by Larsen and Toubro Ltd (L&T) - of Rs20 per equity share. This may well force L&T to raise its offer price for Mindtree by a similar amount.
