New Delhi: Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) on Friday reported a consolidated net profit of Rs 19,407 crore for January-March 2025 quarter, a year-on-year growth of 2.4%, well above the market expectation, as strong earnings from telecom and retail businesses offset decline in margins from the energy segment.

On a sequential basis, the company’s net profit was around 5% higher from Rs 18,540 crore reported in the third quarter of 2024-25.

“FY2025 has been a challenging year for the global business environment, with weak macro-economic conditions and a shifting geo-political landscape. Our focus on operational discipline, customer-centric innovation and fulfilling India’s growth requirements has helped Reliance deliver a steady financial performance during the year,” RIL Chairman and Managing Director Mukesh Ambani said in a statement.

The company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) during the fourth quarter of 2024-25 increased by 4% year-on-year to Rs 48,737 crore.

EBITDA from digital services surged 18.5%, while from retail business it jumped by 14.3%. However, the company posted a softer increase in earnings from energy businesses.

EBITDA from oil-to-chemical business dipped by 10% year-on-year to Rs 15,080 crore during the January-March quarter.

“Significant demand-supply imbalances in downstream chemicals markets have led to multi-year low margins,” Ambani said.

“Our business teams ensured optimisation of integrated operations and feedstock costs to enhance margin capture across value chains. The Oil & Gas business recorded its highest ever annual EBITDA led by higher production from our KGD6 and CBM blocks,” he added.

The company’s board has recommended a dividend of Rs 5.50 per equity share for the financial year 2024-25. The board has also approved a plan to raise Rs 25,000 crore through bonds in one or more tranches.
