Reliance Industries Q1 FY27 Profit Falls 22% Amid Revenue Growth and One-Time Gain Impact
Reliance Industries Ltd reported a 22% year-on-year decline in consolidated net profit to around Rs 20,946 crore for Q1 FY27, mainly due to a one-time gain of Rs 8,924 crore from the sale of Asian Paints shares in the previous year. Despite this, revenue rose 25% to approximately Rs 3.11 lakh crore, supported by steady performance across oil-to-chemicals, retail, and digital services. Higher depreciation and finance costs, linked to 5G asset capitalization, also impacted profits, while capital expenditure remained significant.
