Mukesh Ambani returns to Mumbai as Reliance’s green-energy plans take center stage

Mukesh Ambani flew from Delhi to Mumbai on May 24, 2026, a journey of just 1 hour 45 minutes aboard his Boeing 737 MAX 9 BBJ (VT-AKV), India’s first MAX 9 business jet. The flight touched down near Navi Mumbai International Airport just before midnight local time.

The same week, Reliance Industries is preparing for its annual general meeting season, where shareholders will scrutinize the company’s pivot to green energy. As reported by Bloomberg and Reuters in recent months, Ambani has committed $80 billion to clean-energy infrastructure, including solar, hydrogen, and battery manufacturing. The meeting, expected in June, will likely update investors on the progress of Reliance’s planned 5,000-acre gigafactory in Jamnagar. Returning to Mumbai — the company’s operational nerve center — positions Ambani to oversee final strategy sessions.

This Delhi-Mumbai shuttle mirrors a pattern seen throughout Ambani’s recent flight history: frequent hops between the capital and his home base, often coinciding with government meetings or regulatory deadlines. In March 2026, he flew from Mumbai to Hong Kong and back, a route linked to Reliance’s retail and telecom expansion in Southeast Asia. For now, the destination is home — where the business needs him most.
