Consolidated revenue increased to ₹2.65 lakh crore, compared with ₹2.55 lakh crore sequentially and ₹2.40 lakh crore year-on-year (YoY), while EBITDA improved to ₹46,018 crore. EBITDA margins stood at 17.4%, lower than 18% in the preceding quarter and 18.3% in the corresponding period last year, reflecting margin moderation across segments.
Reliance’s Oil‑to‑Chemicals (O2C) segment delivered a robust performance during the quarter, supported by stronger transportation fuel cracks and improved operating metrics. Segment revenue rose to ₹1.62 lakh crore, compared with ₹1.61 lakh crore in the previous quarter and ₹1.49 lakh crore a year earlier.
EBITDA increased to ₹16,507 crore, from ₹15,008 crore sequentially and ₹14,402 crore YoY, aided by improved refining margins and higher throughput. EBITDA margins strengthened to 10.2%, up from 9.4% in Q2 and 9.6% in the same period last year, indicating a recovery in core O2C profitability on the back of favourable demand-supply dynamics.
Shares of Reliance Industries Ltd ended at ₹1,365.10, up by ₹21.65, or 1.61%, on the BSE.
