India's largest business houses Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) is undertaking restructuring of its EPC business as it diversifies into renewable energy vertically.

Through the focused EPC undertaking, RIL will aggregate and synergize all of its engineering capabilities, and play a pivotal role in implementing its large projects across business segments.
