India's largest private sector firm by market capitalisation and oil refiner Reliance Industries (RIL) fell 1.37% to Rs 1,899.90 after Anil Ambani said he will approach the Supreme Court on Thursday, 30 July 2009, seeking a final hearing on the two-year-old gas supply dispute on 1 September 2009. According to him the gas supply dispute between RIL and Reliance Natural Resources (RNRL) vitally affects public interest. The matter concerns power projects of national importance representing a capacity of 12,000 megawatt (MW) and an investment of over Rs 50,000 crore and affects the interests of over 10 million shareholders, he said.

The Supreme Court on 20 July 2009, asked the energy giant and former group firm Reliance Natural Resources (RNRL) why a gas pact between the two should not be cancelled. The court has scheduled next hearing on the dispute over the gas supply to Reliance Natural Resources (RNRL) on 1 September 2009.

RNRL has asked the Supreme Court to dismiss the government's affidavit on the dispute, even as the petroleum ministry has suggested that the court treats the pact between the two brothers null and void. The dispute concerns supply of natural gas from RIL's field, off the Andhra Pradesh coast, as also the price at which Reliance Natural Gas will get the fuel for power projects within the group.

In reply to the lawsuit filed by Reliance Industries challenging the Bombay High Court order, RNRL has said the government has no role to play in the private gas sharing dispute, and certainly not as a party to the row.

Oil exploration pivotals were mixed after crude futures tumbled almost 6% Wednesday as US oil inventories unexpectedly rose, raising fresh concerns of weak demand.
