The investment gives Reliance Retail a pre money valuation of 4.29 trillion rupees ($58.17 billion).

Reliance is India’s biggest retailer with roughly 12,000 stores and has been looking to expand its so-called new e-commerce venture as it vies for market share in India’s growing retail space.

General Atlantic had earlier said it would invest 65.98 billion rupees in Reliance’s digital arm Jio platforms, which has raised over $20 billion over the last few months.

The General Atlantic investment comes after Reliance raised around $1.8 billion for its retail arm from KKR & Co (N:KKR) and Silver Lake Partners.
