Quarter overview

Quarterly earnings analysis

01

The Board of Jio Platforms approved the Draft Red Herring Prospectus to be filed with SEBI, marking a milestone for the company's public listing.

02

Rapid scaling of Retail and Digital businesses helped meet the commitment to double RIL's EBITDA over five years, rising from ₹97,580 crore in FY21 to ₹2,07,911 crore in FY26.

01 · Business model

What does Reliance Industries do?

Reliance Industries spans digital services, retail, oil-to-chemicals, oil and gas, media and new-energy investments. That mix makes a single headline number less useful than usual because different businesses can be moving at very different speeds.

The group release separates recurring operating performance from investment-related items, which matters for a quarter where the year-ago comparison contained a large investment-sale gain.
