With Jio Platforms alone garnering over USD 16 billion (Rs 1,18,318 crore) by selling 25.24 per cent stake and Reliance Retail notching up USD 6.4 billion (Rs 47,265 crore) by divesting around 9 per cent shareholding, the deal street signed off with USD 85 billion in the deal kitty across 1,270 transactions. This is higher by about 10 per cent over 2019. What is significant is that over a third of the total deal value came from Reliance transactions, say investment bankers.
