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.
The company’s consolidated bottom line was further supported by a ₹42 lakh share of profit from its associate, Reliance Europe Limited.
Future outlook
RIIL continues to serve as a major infrastructure backbone for its promoter group company, Reliance Industries Limited, by managing vital pipeline networks for petroleum products, natural gas, and raw water.
The company indicated a conservative stance on expansion, stating that there are currently no new major expansion plans.
The shares of Reliance Industrial Infrastructure Limited ended 1.32% lower at ₹764 apiece on the national stock exchange on Wednesday. The company's stock price has fallen nearly 25% in the past one year, as against the benchmark Nifty 50 index that has risen close to 12% during the same period.
