Reliance Industries Ltd opened the week under pressure, closing at Rs.1,388.15, down 3.31% on the day. The stock hit an intraday low of Rs.1,390.1, reflecting immediate selling interest amid a broader market decline where the Sensex fell 1.40%. The Oil Exploration and Refinery sector also declined by 2.44%, adding to the stock’s woes. Technical indicators showed the stock trading below its 5-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages, signalling short-term weakness despite medium-term support from the 20-day and 50-day averages.
Despite the decline, Reliance remained one of the most actively traded stocks by value, with a turnover of ₹246.73 crores and a volume of 7,18,660 shares, underscoring sustained investor interest amid mixed market sentiment.
12 May 2026: Mojo Grade Downgrade and Continued Downtrend
The downward momentum intensified on 12 May, with Reliance’s share price falling further to Rs.1,363.60, a 1.77% decline. The stock underperformed both its sector and the Sensex, which dropped 2.19%. This day marked a significant downgrade by MarketsMOJO, lowering the mojo grade from Hold to Sell due to deteriorating technical indicators and flat quarterly financial results. The downgrade reflected concerns over an 18.4% fall in Profit After Tax and a drop in EPS to Rs.12.54 for Q4 FY25-26.
Technical analysis revealed the stock trading below all key moving averages, signalling a bearish trend. Delivery volumes declined slightly, indicating cautious positioning by long-term investors. Nevertheless, the stock remained highly liquid, supporting large institutional trades.
