Reliance Industries shares opened 49.61% lower than Friday’s closing price of ₹2,655.45 due to the company announcing a bonus issue of shares in a 1:1 ratio which means that shareholders will receive one additional bonus share for every share they own.

This bonus issue is one of the largest of its kind in India and it is RIL's sixth such issue. Its last bonus issue was in 2017, and the company's shares have grown 266% since.
