Reliance Industries Q2 Results Highlights: Mukesh Ambani-led oil-to-telecom-to-retail conglomerate Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) announced a robust set of numbers for Q2 FY26.

The company posted a 15.9% year-on-year (YoY) jump in the consolidated profit after tax to 22,146 crore. While the figure moderated on a QoQ basis, it was largely due to an exceptional gain that boosted the last quarter's bottomline.

The revenue from operations saw a gross revenue stood at 283,548 crore in Q2 FY26, a growth of 9.9% YoY over 258,027 crore posted in the same period a year ago. The figure was also higher on a QoQ basis, as it stood at 273,252 crore in the June 2025 quarter.

Here's a look at segment-wise performance:

Jio Platforms

Reliance Jio posted a healthy growth in Q2 as its revenue rose by 14.6% YoY to 36,332 crore. Meanwhile, PAT saw a 12.8% YoY increase to 7,379 crore.

Jio ARPU for Q2 increased to 211.4 ahead of the company's much-awaited IPO with increased engagement of customers, impacted for the time being by the promotional 5G offers.

Reliance Retail

The retail segment delivered healthy YoY growth in both revenue and profit, although margins declined slightly. Revenue from operations rose 19% YoY to 79,128 crore, while PAT grew at a stronger pace of 21.9% YoY to 3,457 crore. EBITDA increased by 16.5% YoY to 6,816 crore; however, the EBITDA margin slipped by 20 basis points to 8.6%. Festive demand and GST rate cut helped drive the performance.

O2C business

The oil to chemicals (O2C) revenue for 2Q FY26 was higher by 3.2% YoY to 160,558 crore. Production meant for sale increased 2.3% on a YoY basis with higher throughput in both primary and secondary units, said RIL.

Meanwhile, EBITDA for Q2 rose by 20.9% YoY to 15,008 crore with a sharp rebound in transportation fuel cracks (up 22-37%) and improvement in polymer margins.

Oil & gas segment

The segment’s EBITDA declined by 5.4% YoY to 5,002 crore, with the EBITDA margin contracting by 240 basis points to 82.6%. The decline was driven by lower revenues and higher operating costs arising from periodic maintenance activities. According to the company, the revenue drop of 2.6% YoY was primarily due to the natural decline in production from the KGD6 block.

Reliance Q2 Results LIVE: Steady financial growth likely, led by telecom and O2C divisions: Saurabh Jain

Reliance Q2 Results LIVE: Saurabh Jain, the head of fundamental research at SMC Global Securities, believes Reliance may report steady financial growth, supported by healthy contributions from its telecom and oil-to-chemicals (O2C) divisions. He said the O2C segment is likely to benefit from improved refining margins and higher throughput, reflecting a recovery in global energy markets and stable product spreads. Reliance’s upstream oil and gas business, however, may show muted performance due to lower gas output and subdued realisation trends.

Jio is anticipated to remain a key earnings driver, driven by steady subscriber additions and rising data consumption, which continue to strengthen its digital ecosystem. On the other hand, the retail segment may witness relatively slower growth, impacted by moderation in consumer spending and a high base effect from previous quarters, said Jain. Nonetheless, continued store expansion and traction in premium formats are likely to help sustain momentum in the long term.
