The predecessor company, Reliance Energy Limited, came into existence when it took over an 83-year-old government undertaking, the Bombay Suburban Electric Supply (BSES) in 2002.{{Cite web|date=2019-10-09|title=It's official: BSES's now called Reliance Energy – The Economic Times|url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/wealthmakers-the-ambanis/anil-dhirubhai-ambani-enterprises/reliance-energy/its-official-bsess-now-called-reliance-energy/articleshow/933888.cms|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191009134332/https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/wealthmakers-the-ambanis/anil-dhirubhai-ambani-enterprises/reliance-energy/its-official-bsess-now-called-reliance-energy/articleshow/933888.cms|url-status=dead|archive-date=2019-10-09|access-date=2020-11-03}} BSES was originally founded in October 1929.

Till 2002, the Delhi Vidyut Board (DVB) used to supply electricity to NCT of Delhi, except areas of Lutyens and Cantonment which were & are still catered by New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) and Military Engineer Services (MES) respectively. The same year in July, DVB was unbundled and was split into 3 distribution companies namely, BSES Rajdhani Power Limited (BRPL), BSES Yamuna Power Limited (BYPL) & Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited (TPDDL). Both BRPL and BYPL are 51:49% joint venture between Reliance Infrastructure and Government of Delhi. Since then, BRPL supplies electricity to South & West Delhi covering an area of 750 sq. km. Similarly, BYPL supplies electricity to Central & East Delhi covering an area of around 200 km².

Reliance Infrastructure with its subsidiary company, Reliance Airport Developers Limited (RADL) operated five minor brownfield airports in various small towns of Maharashtra, viz. Nanded Airport, Latur Airport, Baramati Airport, Yavatmal Airport, and Osmanabad Airport. In March 2015, the Government of Maharashtra was looking at cancelling the agreements and taking back control of the airports due to slow progress.{{cite news |last1=Reporter |first1=B.
