Shares of Reliance Industries (RIL) rose 0.47% to Rs 3,001.75 on the BSE.

Under this agreement, one of MEL's operational 600 megawatt (MW) units at the Mahan thermal power plant will be designated to exclusively supply 500 MW of power to Reliance for the next 20 years. This move allows Reliance to benefit from a long-term stable power supply.

This stake corresponds proportionally to the capacity of the captive unit relative to MEL's total power plant capacity.
