RIL is currently using Market Penetration Strategy. Key Reasons for using this
strategy
Pricing Policy
Pricing policy refers how a company sets the prices of its products and services
based on costs, value, demand, and competition.
At Reliance the following policies are followed:
Reliance offers its traders and OEMs trade discounts as a part of their pricing policy
to have long term fixed orders. It also maintains fairness in price & avoids violating
Robinson-Patman Act of unfair prices.
2. Quantity discounts - Encourage volume purchasing, Maintain buyer loyalty
Reliance provides this discount to its long term large quantity buyers that helps it
gain competitive advantage & reducing competitive pressure, marketing expense,
order processing cost.
Reliance heavily invests in infrastructure and its Jamnagar Refinery is one of the
most advanced in the world in terms of technology & capacity, it believes in long
term horizon & lower discount rate for greater market penetration
