# Reliance Industries

> Reliance Industries is India's largest conglomerate with a substantial petrochemicals and advanced-materials division investing heavily in green hydrogen, carbon fiber composites, and next-generation polyester recycling to decarbonize its manufacturing base. Its Jio-BP joint venture and standalone R&D centers collaborate with IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, and the National Chemical Laboratory (Pune) on catalyst development for bio-based feedstocks and on advanced polymer characterization methods. The company funds sponsored research chairs at IIT institutions and sponsors the Reliance Technology Excellence Award for academic researchers in materials science and chemical engineering. Reliance's aggressive push into solar-grade polysilicon and photovoltaic manufacturing has expanded its university partnerships to include collaboration with NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory) and Fraunhofer ISE. For academic-intelligence buyers tracking the Asia-Pacific clean-materials and chemical engineering talent pipelines, Reliance is the highest-volume Indian industrial R&D node with growing global research linkages.
