Reliance Industries Q2 2026 Preview: O2C Growth Offsets Oil and Retail Challenges
Reliance Industries is set to announce its Q2 2026 results on October 30, with expectations of a 15% year-on-year rise in consolidated EBITDA driven mainly by its oil-to-chemicals (O2C) segment. The O2C business is projected to grow 47% year-on-year, benefiting from strong refinery earnings, absence of windfall tax, and a weaker rupee. However, the oil and gas segment is expected to see a 7.2% decline due to lower production, while retail margins may face slight pressure despite revenue growth. Jio Platforms is anticipated to show steady performance amid these trends.
