    Result Highlights:

    • Reliance Industries Limited reported revenue from operations of Rs 2,73,252 crore in Q1FY26, marking a 6% YoY growth from Rs 2,57,823 crore in Q1FY25. However, on a QoQ basis, revenue declined by 5.2% from Rs 2,88,138 crore in Q4FY25. The decline was primarily due to lower crude prices and weak petrochemical demand, which impacted O2C realizations. Despite stable volumes and strong performance from Jio and Retail, overall value realization fell on a sequential basis.
    • Reliance Industries reported an EBITDA of Rs 42,905 crore in Q1FY26, registering a 10.7% YoY increase from Rs 38,765 crore in Q1FY25. However, EBITDA declined 2.11% sequentially from Rs 43,832 crore in Q4FY25. The EBITDA margin for Q1FY26 stood at 17.61%, improving from 16.72% YoY and 16.77% QoQ.
    • It has reported a PAT of Rs 30,681 crore in Q1FY26, registering a 75.8% YoY increase from Rs 17,448 crore in Q1FY25 and a 36.76% QoQ growth from Rs 22,434 crore in Q4FY25. The sharp rise in PAT was primarily driven by higher other income, mainly due to the stake sale in Asian Paints.
    • Segment-wise revenue for Q1FY26 is as follows: the Oil-to-Chemicals (O2C) segment remained the largest contributor with Rs 1,54,804 crore. The Oil & Gas segment reported Rs 6,103 crore, Retail posted Rs 84,172 crore, Digital Services generated Rs 41,949 crore, and the Others segment contributed Rs 18,470 crore.
    • During Q1FY26, JioTrue5G crossed the 200 million user milestone, reaching 213 million subscribers as of June 2025. Jio also achieved approximately 20 million connected premises through its fixed broadband network. Additionally, JioAirFiber became the world’s largest Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) service with a subscriber base of approx. 7.4 million.
    • AJIO Rush, a 4-hour delivery service, launched in six cities with over 1.3 lakh options. AJIO’s catalogue grew 44% YoY to 2.6 million options. Shein saw strong traction with 2 million+ app downloads and 20,000+ live options. AJIO Luxe expanded to 875 brands, up 17% YoY.
    • During the quarter, JioStar achieved 287 million subscribers during IPL, while TV viewership reached over 800 million. Strategic content launches and entry into the FTA Hindi GEC segment helped consolidate a 35.5% entertainment TV market share, reinforcing leadership across key markets.
    • Reliance Retail delivered strong double-digit EBITDA growth. It added 388 new stores and expanded into consumer durables by acquiring Kelvinator. Customer touchpoints reached 358 million. Strong momentum came from fashion, grocery, electronics, and new fast-delivery initiatives like AJIO Rush.
    • Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) for Q1FY26 stood at Rs 208.8, up from Rs 206.2 in Q4FY25 and Rs 181.7 in Q1FY25, reflecting steady growth both on a sequential and annual basis.

    Management Commentary:

    • The company has operationalized the largest utility-scale HJT solar module gigafactory, targeting 50 MW/day module and 175–200 MWh/day battery capacity. Captive transmission from Kutch to Jamnagar enables 24×7 power. Green hydrogen, CBG, and chemical projects are underway, alongside India’s largest solar glass and polysilicon facilities.
    • Reliance is investing heavily in giga-factories for solar, batteries, and hydrogen, targeting commissioning within 4–6 quarters. The company aims to lead India’s green energy shift while reducing dependence on imported fuels, in line with national and global sustainability goals.
    • Mukesh Ambani emphasized consistent performance across all businesses and reiterated the company’s aim to double in size every 4–5 years. Strategic focus remains on scaling digital, retail, and new energy platforms while pursuing growth through acquisitions and innovation.

    Outlook:

    Reliance Industries results reflect a one-time gain from its Asian Paints stake sale, while operational revenue faced pressure from crude price volatility and geopolitical factors. The company expanded 4-hour delivery, grew JioStar engagement, added new retail stores, and saw higher telecom ARPU. The company is accelerating its green energy investments across solar, battery storage, and hydrogen, while actively exploring new business verticals to sustain long-term revenue growth. The new energy segment is expected to open a strategic growth frontier, with meaningful contributions anticipated over the next 4–5 quarters. Management and industry outlook remain highly optimistic. It has reported an EPS of Rs 19.95 in Q1FY26 and TTM EPS of Rs 60.23 and currently trading at a TTM P/E of 24.51x and P/B of 2.37x.
