Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) reported a 2.4 percent year-on-year rise in consolidated net profit for the fourth quarter of FY 2024–25. At ₹19,407 crore, this figure topped analyst estimates and marked a milestone: RIL became the first Indian corporate entity to cross a net worth of ₹10 trillion.
RIL, India’s leading conglomerate with interests in oil refining, petrochemicals, retail, and telecommunications, drove this performance. The company’s consumer-facing arms—retail and Reliance Jio—delivered robust growth, even as its oil-to-chemicals (O2C) division faced headwinds.
The results cover the March quarter (Q4 FY 2025) and were announced on Friday, April 25, 2025. Sequentially, net profit rose 4.7 percent from Q3, with total revenue climbing 8.9 percent quarter-on-quarter to ₹261,388 crore.
These figures reflect RIL’s consolidated global operations but are rooted in India, where refining and retail hubs saw most activity. In Mumbai—RIL’s headquarters—investors and analysts closely tracked the company’s earnings call for insights into future strategy.
Two core businesses fueled the uptick:
- Retail saw a 30 percent jump in profit, buoyed by strong volume growth and higher footfall across stores.
- Jio Platforms recorded a 25.7 percent jump in net profit, reaching ₹7,022 crore, as tariff hikes and subscriber additions lifted margins.
These gains offset pressure on the O2C segment, which contended with narrower refining margins and variable petrochemical spreads.
How did RIL beat estimates?
- Revenue jumped 10.5 percent year-on-year to ₹261,388 crore.
- Other income grew 8.2 percent to ₹4,905 crore.
- PBIDT (profit before interest, depreciation, and taxes) rose 3.6 percent to ₹48,737 crore.
- PBT (profit before tax) improved 5 percent to ₹29,103 crore.
On a standalone basis—reflecting primarily the O2C arm—net profit dipped 0.6 percent to ₹11,217 crore, highlighting the uneven recovery across divisions.
