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:
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.
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.
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.
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: JM Financial expects RIL’s EBITDA to be up 3.6% QoQ, led by O2C EBITDA growth of 3.1% QoQ on higher refining throughput, slight improvement in GRM and strong auto-fuel marketing margin; Retail EBITDA growth of 12.7% YoY and 3.5% QoQ and Digital EBITDA growth 2.5% QoQ, led by robust 7 million subscriber gains and 1.1% QoQ rise in ARPU to ₹211 driven by upgrades and 1 more day QoQ in 2QFY26, though partly offset by E&P EBITDA falling 3.4% QoQ on natural decline in KG D6 gas output.
Reliance Q2 Results LIVE: Motilal Oswal expects Reliance Industries’ consolidated revenue to increase 6.5% YoY to ₹2,46,700 crore, while consolidated EBITDA to rise 17% YoY to ₹45,800 crore. EBITDA margin is estimated to improve to 18.6% from 16.9% YoY. Further clarity on ₹75,000 crore announcements in the new energy business, growth in Retail store additions, and any pricing action in Telecom are the key monitorables.
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.
