Three years later, the siblings decided to separate the business, with Mukesh keeping control of refining, petrochemicals, oil and gas, and textile businesses, thanks to a deal mediated by their mother. This did not totally alleviate tensions between the two brothers, as they refused to resolve a court battle over natural gas sharing or terminate their non-compete agreements until 2010. Mukesh and Anil appeared to have buried the hatchet in 2013 when they announced a $220 million deal to share a fiber-optic network between their enterprises.
