Reliance Industries Limited (RIL), founded in 1966, is eyeing a takeover of the bankrupt LyondellBasell, the third-largest chemical maker with $27 billion in assets and $19 billion in liabilities. RIL aims to leverage its cash reserves in a bid and potentially become the world's largest producer of polypropylene, enhancing its global presence. The acquisition, if successful, would mark one of the largest chemical industry deals to date.
