TIME praised the company and called it as 'India's Juggernaut'. Reflecting on its origins from being a textile and polyester enterprise which was started 58 years ago by Dhirubhai Ambani, TIME said that Reliance Industries Limited has evolved into India's most valuable company with a market capitalization over USD 200 billion.

The publication stated, “Today the sprawling conglomerate — which has aligned its growth with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision for a ‘self-reliant’ India — is the country’s most valuable company, with a market capitalization of more than $200 billion.”
