Reliance Industries Q4 FY25 Results: Net Profit Rises 2.4% to Rs 19,407 Crore, Becomes First Indian Company to Cross Rs 10 Trillion Net Worth

Reliance Industries Limited (RIL), the Mumbai-based conglomerate led by Mukesh Ambani, has reported a 2.4 percent year-on-year (Y-o-Y) rise in its consolidated net profit attributable to shareholders, reaching Rs 19,407 crore for the fourth quarter ended March 2025 (Q4FY25). The company’s performance in the quarter was primarily driven by robust growth in its consumer-facing businesses, including retail and telecom, even as its traditional oil-to-chemicals (O2C) division continued to face pressure from global market volatility. RIL also achieved a historic milestone, becoming the first Indian company to surpass a net worth of Rs 10 trillion, underlining its unmatched scale and leadership across sectors.

During Q4FY25, Reliance Industries recorded a 3.6 percent increase in consolidated profit before interest, depreciation, and taxes (PBIDT), amounting to Rs 48,737 crore, while consolidated revenue rose sharply by 10.5 percent Y-o-Y to Rs 2,61,388 crore, reflecting strong consumer demand and strategic operational execution. However, on a standalone basis, which mainly mirrors the company’s oil-to-chemicals operations, net profit slipped marginally by 0.6 percent Y-o-Y to Rs 11,217 crore, while standalone revenue declined 9.4 percent to Rs 1,32,962 crore, highlighting the ongoing challenges faced by the O2C segment due to global demand-supply imbalances and low downstream chemical margins.

For the full financial year 2024-25 (FY25), Reliance Industries reported a record consolidated revenue of Rs 9,64,693 crore, marking a 7.1 percent growth over the previous year, supported by robust performances in both consumer and O2C businesses. Consolidated net profit attributable to shareholders for FY25 remained largely flat at Rs 69,648 crore compared to Rs 69,621 crore in FY24, demonstrating the company’s resilience despite an adverse macroeconomic and geopolitical environment. Chairman and Managing Director Mukesh Ambani emphasized the group’s operational discipline, focus on customer-centric innovation, and efforts towards meeting India’s growing needs, which helped RIL deliver steady financial performance throughout a challenging year.

Ambani also highlighted that the oil-to-chemicals business showcased a resilient performance despite significant volatility in global energy markets and multi-year low margins in downstream chemicals. Strategic optimization of operations and feedstock costs helped improve margins across value chains. Moreover, RIL’s oil and gas segment achieved its highest-ever annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), bolstered by increased production from the KGD6 and CBM blocks, reinforcing the company’s strength in upstream operations.

In the retail sector, Reliance Retail Ventures Ltd posted an impressive 30.4 percent jump in net profit, clocking Rs 3,519 crore for the January–March quarter. The retail giant also saw its EBITDA grow 14.6 percent to Rs 6,510 crore, with revenue from operations reaching Rs 78,622 crore, a solid 16.3 percent Y-o-Y increase. Although sequential revenue dipped 1.2 percent, net profit rose by 1 percent, reflecting operational efficiencies and growing market penetration. Reliance Retail opened 1,085 new stores during the quarter, expanding its footprint to a total of 19,340 outlets across a staggering 77.4 million square feet of retail space. For FY25, gross revenue from Reliance Retail stood at Rs 3,30,870 crore, up 7.9 percent from the previous year, while its digital and new commerce platforms continued to gain traction, now contributing 18 percent of the segment’s total revenue.

Meanwhile, Jio Platforms Ltd (JPL), the digital arm that houses Reliance Jio and other digital services, delivered an exceptional 25.8 percent Y-o-Y rise in net profit at Rs 7,023 crore for Q4FY25, fueled largely by higher telecom tariffs implemented in July. Sequentially, JPL’s net profit increased by 2.4 percent, affirming its growing profitability and leadership in India’s digital ecosystem.

Reliance Industries’ Q4FY25 results underline its diversified and resilient business model, strong consumer focus, and operational excellence even amid global uncertainties. The company’s achievements this quarter, from record revenues and robust profits in retail and digital services to strategic resilience in traditional energy businesses, position it well for sustained future growth.
