Reliance Group has announced a landmark move with the launch of its first Employee Stock Option Programme across Reliance Infrastructure and Reliance Power. The initiative, approved by shareholders in November 2024, marks a major step in recognising the contribution of nearly 2,500 employees who have supported the companies through years of transformation and turnaround.
The ESOP structure has been designed to promote long-term value creation while fostering a sense of ownership among employees.
A key feature of the programme is the option for most eligible staff to purchase shares at a face value of Rs 10. This concessional pricing is intended to acknowledge the loyalty and sustained effort of employees who have been instrumental in stabilising and rejuvenating the group’s operations.
By offering stock options broadly across its workforce, Reliance Group aims to create a more inclusive environment where employees can directly participate in future wealth creation. The company views this as a way to not only reward past contributions but also motivate teams to align with its long-term growth agenda.
Reliance Group has been reinforcing its commitment to sustainable value creation. The new ESOP programme is positioned as an extension of this strategy, tying employee aspirations to organisational performance and strengthening the culture of shared responsibility.
As the group moves ahead with its broader ambition to remain resilient and future-focused, the introduction of ESOPs signals a renewed emphasis on employee empowerment. The initiative is expected to play a pivotal role in shaping a workforce that is engaged, invested and aligned with the company’s growth trajectory.
