Reliance to sell $750 million stake in unit to Silver Lake
Reliance Industries Ltd said on Monday private equity firm Silver Lake will invest nearly $750 million in its digital arm, days after securing a $5.7 billion investment from Facebook Inc, boosting its efforts to cut debt. The deal adds to a flurry of fund-raising activity announced by the oil-to-telecoms conglomerate in recent weeks including a $7 billion share sale, with plans to eliminate $21.4 billion of net debt by the end of the year.

New Delhi, 04 May 2020

As per news report of Reuters, Reliance last week reported a 39% slump in March quarter profit, hit by a sharp fall in oil prices and lower fuel demand, and said at the time it had received investor interest for a Facebook-like deal. It did not give further details.
