Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n

RIL shares slid about 6% in a month and touched a 52-week low of Rs 1,160.40 on 9 October, against a previous close of Rs 1,178, and the stock is down about 25.6% in 2026 while the Sensex is down about 15%. Reasons cited are the market sell-off, weak oil and gas performance amid the West Asia crisis, rising depreciation from heavy capex, the awaited Jio Platforms IPO and Q2 FY27 results. The Jio Platforms IPO could help the stock by unlocking value and, through a reserved category for eligible RIL shareholders with a maximum bid of Rs 2 lakh, may bring short-term buying, but the quota size, record date and price band are not confirmed. Nuvama Institutional Equities rates RIL shares Buy with a target of Rs 1,766, about 51% above Rs 1,172 (my calculation), and expects Q2 EBITDA to grow about 17% year on year.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

RIL shares are the largest weight in the Nifty and Sensex, so a steep slide in the stock affects index returns and many portfolios. A fall of about 25.6% in 2026 has made the next move a question for both long-term holders and traders.<\/p>\n

This article covers the 52-week low, the five reasons behind the decline, what the Jio Platforms IPO and the shareholder quota mean for RIL shares, the brokerage view, scenarios and risks. Details that are reported but not confirmed are marked.<\/p>\n
