Reliance Industries and Jio Platforms Post Strong Q2 Results

Reliance Industries and Jio Platforms enter Monday trading sessions following the release of their financial results for the second quarter of financial year 2027.

Earnings Growth

Reliance Industries reports a record consolidated profit after tax of 29,550 crore rupees for the July to September quarter. This marks a 33.8 percent increase compared to 22,092 crore rupees in the same period last year. Revenue rises 27.8 percent year-on-year to 3,62,268 crore rupees, while EBITDA grows 23.9 percent to a record 62,409 crore rupees.

Business Segments

A strong recovery in the oil-to-chemicals business drives this performance, with EBITDA surging 67.9 percent to 25,203 crore rupees. Global fuel margins and petrochemical spreads support this growth, alongside supply disruptions in West Asia that push transportation fuel cracks higher. Digital services also contribute, though the retail arm sees a profit drop of 24.3 percent to 2,611 crore rupees despite a 6.4 percent revenue rise.

Jio Platforms Performance

Jio Platforms records an 11.3 percent revenue increase to 47,485 crore rupees and a 13.7 percent rise in profit after tax to 8,387 crore rupees. Average revenue per user reaches 218.8 rupees per month, while the total subscriber base hits 542.4 million users, including 300 million 5G users and 30 million fixed broadband homes. These results follow a 30,188 crore rupee initial public offering that valued the company at roughly 13.1 lakh crore rupees, making it the second-largest listed entity in the Reliance Group.
