Reliance Industries reported its Q4 FY26 results with a 12.6-13% year-on-year decline in consolidated net profit to around Rs 16,971 crore, despite a 13% rise in revenue to nearly Rs 3 lakh crore. The oil-to-chemicals segment faced margin pressures due to higher crude premiums, freight costs, and geopolitical disruptions from the Middle East conflict. Consumer businesses, including Jio Platforms and Reliance Retail, showed strong revenue and earnings growth, helping offset energy sector challenges. The board declared a Rs 6 per share dividend, subject to shareholder approval. Annual consolidated profit reached a record Rs 95,754 crore, supported by diversified operations amid volatile energy markets.
