Reliance Industries Ltd managed oil market volatility in the last quarter of FY26 by diversifying crude sourcing and adjusting operations amid geopolitical disruptions, including the Iran war affecting Gulf supplies. The company replaced Persian Gulf contracts with alternative suppliers and worked on rerouting stranded crude to minimize refinery run cuts. Despite global crude oversupply and downstream chemical pressures, Reliance maintained feedstock security and operational agility at its Jamnagar refinery amid supply chain challenges.
