Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries Ltd has recorded a consolidated profit of ₹19,407 crore, an increase of 2.4% YoY from ₹18,951 crore during the corresponding quarter last year, driven by strong growth in its digital services and retail businesses, which offset a subdued performance in its energy businesses. In a historic feat, RIL said it became the first Indian company to cross a total equity of over ₹10 lakh crore in the financial year 2024-25.

Our enhanced product catalogue and user experience across all formats strengthened customer engagement. The quick hyperlocal deliveries initiative has also gained significant traction in the market, connecting strongly with users. Our suite of omni-channel offerings and widespread presence will enable Reliance Retail to continue delivering superior value to all its customers," says RIL Chairman Mukesh Ambani.

The company's oil-to-chemicals business posted a resilient performance despite considerable volatility in energy markets. The segment revenue for FY25 increased 11% Y-o-Y to ₹626,921 crore, primarily on account of higher volumes and increased domestic product placement.
