Ambani's flagship firm Reliance Infrastructure Ltd announced on Tuesday that it will invest Rs 10,000 crore over the next 10 years in a new defence project. It will set up India's largest integrated project in Maharashtra's Ratnagiri for the manufacturing of explosives, ammunition, and small arms.
Reliance Infrastructure stock hit an upper circuit after a 5 per cent jump. It jumped by Rs 12.70 to Rs 267.25 on Wednesday. The market cap of the company reached Rs 10577 crore today. The Reliance stock has seen a strong rally in recent times.

In September this year, Reliance Infra had announced it slashed its debt by 87 per cent to Rs 475 crore. The company cleared outstanding dues of LIC, ICICI Bank and other lenders. It paid Rs 600 crore to LIC to settle all outstanding.
