Reliance Industries, BSE lead mutual fund buys in September, shows data
Reliance Industries pursued an acquisition in a mutual funds development.
· Business Standard Mkts
Mutual funds invested nearly ₹6,000 crore in Reliance Industries in September, making it the most-bought stock, followed by BSE with inflows exceeding ₹5,500 crore.
The analysis
Reliance Industries reported ₹6,000 crore and ₹5,500 crore. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.
Against that, the stock is -0.2% on the day at ₹1,164.90, and has returned -9.9% over three months. It sits 27% below its 52-week high, which means a good deal of bad news was already in the price. The oil & energy sector has moved -5.7% over the same period, so Reliance Industries is running 4.2 points behind its peers.
For Reliance Industries, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the oil & energy peer set alongside it.

- With BSE involved, this carries a regulatory dimension that can outlast the immediate market reaction.
