Mukesh Ambani-owned Reliance Industries had moved an application before Trade Trademarks Registry on Wednesday seeking registration of Operation Sindoor. However, in a recent update, Reliance Industries announced that it had withdrawn the application which was filed by their junior prson in the company without authorisation.
In an official statement, Reliance Industries wrote, “Jio Studios, a unit of Reliance Industries, has withdrawn its trademark application, which was filed inadvertently by a junior person without authorisation”. Further justifying the move, the statement said that Operation Sindoor is a proud achievement of our brave Armed Forces in their fight against terrorism and Reliance stands in its full support with the country and Armed Forces.
Four Trademark Applications Filed for Operation Sindoor
In a fast reaction to the Indian military’s cross-border operation codenamed “Sindoor” operation, four different trademark applications were filed in minutes after the operation was announced to the public. The first to seek also was Reliance Industries Limited, followed by Mumbaikar Mukesh Chetram Agrawal, retired Group Captain Kamal Singh Oberoi, Indian Air Force, and Delhi-based lawyer Alok Kothari. All five applied for the trademark registration in Class 41 of the Nice Classification, i.e., entertainment, education, cultural, and media services.
All of these applications, filed between 10:42 AM and 6:27 PM on May 7, 2025, are classified as “proposed to be used”. This means that though any of the applicants has brought to the market yet a commercial product under the name, they are keen on harnessing the operation’s mighty symbolic and patriotic allure to the market within the near future.

“Operation Sindoor” is India’s high-profile military move against terror camps along the border that followed the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam. The Indian culture of sacrifice and courage linked to the word “Sindoor” quickly shifted the public discourse, media discussions, and social sentiment among the common masses. Its emotionally loaded nature renders it a potentially money-spinning brand name for movies, web series or documentaries, or other cultural ventures.
