Mayuresh Joshi, Head Equity, Marketsmith India, says in the second half, Reliance’s retail-oriented businesses should see a strong comeback. The new-age businesses are something to be seen as well. They are having a very calibrated approach in terms of their new-age businesses. So, the kind of timelines we are looking at for these new-age businesses without minimal burden on the balance sheet is going to be critical. These two segments might offset the weakness in upstream and the O2C business. In realty stocks, Joshi says if somebody is holding Oberoi, Godrej, and DLF, they can continue holding on. Among real estate ancillaries, Greenply, Century may work out. What are the expectations from Reliance Industries? More than earnings, what are the next set of triggers to watch out for because it has been fairly sideways since it is down to Rs 2,700 from Rs 3,200 all-time high level. What will provide a fillip to Reliance from here on? Do you believe in the tie-ups that the Street has been talking about? Mayuresh Joshi: Coming to triggers going forward, there are two things. One, if there is a genuine recovery in terms of China per se in the next few quarters, the downstream business, which defines how the petchem business will move for Reliance and the spreads thereof should show signs of stability and improvement and that can have a telling say in terms of the petchem performance itself.
