Future Group-RIL deal will not impact:

Biyani decided to sell billionaire Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries Ltd to some other businesses of Future Group including retail and wholesale. However, after Amazon’s objection, the deal was expected to be banned by Sebi. However, the latest SEBI order does not mention any deal related to acceptance. This directly means that this order will not affect the deal between Future Group and Reliance Retail. However, restricted entities cannot further sell securities in the market for one year.
