Reliance Industrial Infrastructure Limited (RIIL), a Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Group company, reported a 9.9% year-on-year (YoY) increase in its consolidated net profit for the third quarter ended December 31, 2025. The infrastructure company posted its results on Wednesday, revealing a net profit of ₹3.01 crore for Q3 FY26, up from ₹2.74 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal year.
Operational efficiency drives EBITDA growth
While the top line remained relatively flat, the consolidated earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) surged by 16.2% YoY to ₹4.17 crore, compared to ₹3.59 crore in Q3 FY25. This expansion in margins was primarily achieved through a 3.6% reduction in total expenses, which fell to ₹15.08 crore from ₹15.64 crore in the previous year.
This included a reduction in other expenses, which dropped to ₹8.15 crore from ₹9.01 crore, and a decrease in operating expenses to ₹2.75 crore. These savings more than offset the rise in employee benefit expenses, which grew to ₹3.23 crore during the quarter.
Q3 FY26 financial performance
Total income: Consolidated total income stood at ₹18.48 crore, a marginal 0.6% dip from the ₹18.60 crore reported in Q3 FY25.
Standalone performance: On a standalone basis, RIIL reported a net profit of ₹2.59 crore, a 4.4% increase over the ₹2.48 crore recorded in the same period last year.
