Reliance Industries Limited (RIL), India's largest conglomerate, has announced its financial results for the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2026 (Q3 FY26), reporting a consolidated net profit of ₹18,645 crore for the period ending December 31, 2025. This figure represents a modest increase compared to the previous quarter. The company's overall revenue from operations also saw a significant surge, with gross revenue increasing by 10.0% year-on-year to ₹293,829 crore. Other reports indicate revenue from operations grew 11% to ₹2.69 lakh crore. The robust performance was primarily driven by the strong showing of its consumer-facing businesses, particularly Jio Platforms and Reliance Retail, alongside its Oil-to-Chemicals (O2C) segment. Jio Platforms continued its growth trajectory, with steady subscriber additions and an improvement in Average Revenue Per User (ARPU). The O2C business also contributed substantially to the earnings, benefiting from favourable market dynamics. Reliance Retail demonstrated steady expansion, marking increased footfalls and new store openings. While some reports cited a higher Profit After Tax (PAT) of ₹22,167 crore or ₹22,290 crore for the quarter, the ₹18,645 crore figure is consistently reported as the consolidated net profit across several credible financial news outlets, confirming the accuracy of the AajTak headline's core claim. The Q3 FY26 results, released on January 16, 2026, are highly significant for investors and the broader Indian economy, reflecting the financial health of one of the nation's most influential companies.
