Below, we will see how Reliance has multiplied the wealth of its investors over the long term:
If someone bought 10 shares of Reliance in 2003, how much dividend would they have received till today?
If someone had bought just 10 shares of Reliance Industries in 2003, then over time, those 10 shares would have turned into 80 shares today due to bonuses. From 2003 to 2025, that person would have received a total of ₹4,677.50 as cash dividends from these shares. Calculate your dividend income.
How much would 10 shares of Reliance bought in 2009 be worth today?
If a person had bought only 10 shares of Reliance Industries in 2009, those 10 shares would have become 80 shares today due to the bonus. The price of one share of Reliance is currently ₹1420 (this share price changes daily). Now, it would be ₹1420×80 = ₹113,600. Reliance Industries has given investors a return of more than 750% on their investment amount since January 2009.
