Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) shares are in focus today after the company reported its highest-ever consolidated quarterly net profit of ₹30,783 crore for Q1 FY26, a sharp 76.5% rise from ₹17,445 crore in the same quarter last year.
The surge was driven by strong performances across its telecom, retail, and oil-to-chemicals divisions. Consolidated EBITDA also reached a record ₹58,024 crore, reflecting a 35.7% year-on-year jump. The EBITDA margin expanded to 21.2%, up from 16.6% a year ago, backed by improved profitability across key business segments. Gross revenue grew 6% year-on-year to ₹2.73 lakh crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.
Jio Platforms posted strong results, with revenue up 18.8% and a healthy jump in EBITDA, supported by a growing 5G user base now crossing 200 million. Reliance Retail continued to expand, benefiting from strong demand across categories like grocery, fashion, and digital commerce. The oil-to-chemicals segment saw a slight revenue dip due to lower crude prices, but improved margins led to higher EBITDA. The oil and gas business reported a slight decline in both revenue and earnings due to production and maintenance factors. JioStar Media made a solid debut, riding on record IPL viewership, delivering over ₹11,000 crore in revenue.
Capital expenditure for the quarter stood at ₹29,875 crore, and net debt remained steady at ₹1.17 lakh crore. The company also noted progress in home broadband, with over 20 million connections, and ongoing momentum in digital offerings like JioGames Cloud and JioPC. Retail expansion continued at a strong pace with 388 new stores added in the quarter.
