24/04/26, Reliance Industries Q4: Reliance Industries (RIL) shares will be in the spotlight on Friday, April 24, as the oil-to-telecom conglomerate is set to announce its March quarter (Q4 FY26) as well as full fiscal year (FY25-26) earnings later in the day.

According to media reports, RIL is expected to report a mixed performance for Q4 FY26, with steady revenue growth but some pressure on margins and profitability.

Analysts estimate revenue to rise around 8-10% year-on-year (YoY), while EBITDA is likely to remain in the ₹45,000-50,000 crore range. Net profit is seen as largely flat, as weakness in the core oil-to-chemicals (O2C) business offsets gains from consumer-facing segments.

Segment-wise, the O2C and oil & gas businesses are likely to remain under pressure due to softer margins and global uncertainties, making them the key drag on overall performance.

In contrast, the telecom arm Reliance Jio is expected to deliver stable growth with a gradual improvement in ARPU, while the retail segment should see moderate expansion supported by continued store additions and consumption demand.

Overall, earnings are likely to be supported by Jio and retail, but the outlook for the energy business and management commentary will be critical for market direction.

Dividend announcement

The street will also keep an eye on the dividend announcement.

RIL share price trend

Data show that the RIL share price has remained listless so far in 2026. The stock has slipped nearly 5% over the past 30 days, more than 7% over the past six months, and over 14% in 2026 (year-to-date).

How did RIL perform in Q4 FY25?

In the year-ago period, Reliance Industries Ltd reported a 2.4% rise in its March quarter net profit as store rationalisation in the retail business and improved margins in telecom helped offset weakness in the mainstay oil and petrochemical businesses and higher finance costs.

Consolidated net profit of ₹19,407 crore, or ₹14.34 per share, in January-March - the fourth quarter of the April 2024 to March 2025 fiscal (FY25) - was higher than ₹18,951 crore, or ₹14 per share, in the same period a year back, the company said in a statement.

Profit was also up sequentially from ₹18,540 crore in the October-December quarter.

Annual profits were almost unchanged at ₹69,648 crore, but the oil-to-telecom-and-retail conglomerate became the first company to hit a net worth of over ₹10 lakh crore in 2024-25.

In the fourth quarter, an increased subscriber base led to higher earnings in the telecom business, while a rationalisation of stores and a pick-up in quick commerce improved retail metrics.

The oil-to-chemicals (O2C) business, however, saw pre-tax earnings fall on lower fuel cracks and polyester chain margins.

The profit before tax (EBITDA) rose 3.6% to ₹48,737 crore.

This was despite an almost 7% rise in finance cost due to higher debt (₹3.47 lakh crore as of March 31, 2025, compared to ₹3.24 lakh crore a year back).

Jio Platforms' performance

Jio Platforms Ltd, the unit that houses the telecom and digital businesses, saw profits rise by 26% to ₹7,022 crore in Q4 and 22% in the full year (₹26,120 crore).

All four key parameters - data minute usage, data consumed, average per-user earnings, and number of subscribers - grew.

The customer base rose to 488.2 million from 482.1 million in October-December 2024 and 481.8 million in January-March 2024.

Average revenue per user rose to ₹206.2 from ₹203.3 in the preceding quarter and ₹181.7 a year ago.

New energy business

Giving an update on the new energy business, RIL Chairman Mukesh Ambani said during FY25, Reliance laid a strong foundation for its projects in renewable energy and battery operations.

"In the coming quarters, we will see the transition of this business from incubation to operationalisation. I firmly believe that the new energy growth engine will create significant value for Reliance, for India, and for the world."

Trade Cycles

The four important features of Trade Cycle are (i) Recovery, (ii) Boom, (iii) Recession, and (iv) Depression!

The trades cycle or business cycle are cyclical fluctuations of an economy. A full trade cycle has got four phases: (i) Recovery, (ii) Boom, (iii) Recession, and (iv) depression. The upward phase of a trade cycle or prosperity is divided into two stages—recovery and boom, and the downward phase of a trade cycle is also divided into two stages—recession and depression.

Phases of Trade Cycle:

The phases of trade cycle are explained with a diagram:

(1) Recovery:

In the early period of recovery, entrepreneurs increase the level of investment which in turn increases employment and income. Employment increases purchasing power and this leads to an increase in demand for consumer goods.

As a result, demand for goods will press upon their supply and it shall, thereby, lead to a rise in prices. The demand for consumer’s goods shall encourage the demand for producer’s goods.

The rise in prices shall depend upon the gestation period of investment. The longer the period of investment, the higher shall be the price rise. The rise of prices shall bring about a change in the distribution of income. Rent, wages, interest do not rise in the same proportion as prices.

Consequently, the margin of profit improves. The wholesale prices rise more than retail prices. The prices of raw materials rise more than the prices of semi-finished goods and the prices of semi-finished goods use more than the prices of finished goods.

(2) Boom:

The rate of investment increases still further. Owing to the spread of a wave of optimism in business, the level of production increases and the boom gathers momentum. More investment is possible only through credit creation. During a period of boom, the economy surpasses the level of full employment and enters a stage of over full employment.

(3) Recession:

The orders for raw materials are reduced on the onset of a recession. The rate of investment in producers’ goods industries and housing construction declines. Liquidity preference rises in society and owing to a contraction of money supply, the prices falls. A wave of pessimism spreads in business and those markets which were sometime before sellers markets become buyer’s markets now.

(4) Depression:

The main feature of a depression is a general fall in economic activity. Production, employment and income decline. The prices fall and the main factor responsible for it is, a fall in the purchasing power.

The distribution of national income changes. As the costs are rigid in nature, the margin of profit declines. Machines are not used to their full capacity in factories, because effective demand is much less. The prices of finished goods fall less than the prices of raw materials.

..BANKING TERMINOLOGY

There are various types of Banks: PSU Banks, Private Banks, Co-operative/Regional Banks, Small Finance Banks and Foreign Banks. When you deposit money in a bank, let's say the bank gives you an interest rate of 4%. But when the bank lends out this money, they lend it out at say, 12%. The difference of 8% in the above scenario is effectively the profit of the bank! The loans that do not pay interest for 90 days are known as Non-performing Assets. Banks have to provide for such bad loans. Structure of a Bank Asset for a Bank: The asset portion of a bank's capital includes cash, government securities, and interest-earning loans (e.g., mortgages, letters of credit, and inter-bank loans). Liabilities for a Bank: The bank's main liabilities are its capital (including cash reserves and, often, subordinated debt) and deposits. The latter may be from domestic or foreign sources (corporations and firms, private individuals, other banks, and even governments). Banks are required to maintain Liquidity with the Reserve Bank of India: SLR (Statutory Liquidity Ratio): It is the money a bank needs to preserve in the form of cash, gold or government Bonds before providing credit customers. This limitation is added by RBI on banks to make funds available to customers on-demand at your earliest convenience. Banks are required to maintain SLR at 18%. CRR (Cash Reserve Ratio): Banks are required to hold a certain proportion of their deposits in the form of cash. Banks don’t hold these as cash with themselves, but deposit such amounts with RBI / currency chests. CRR rate is at 4.5% currently. Repo Rate: The rate at which the RBI lends short-term money to the banks. The RBI through its Monetary Policy committee changes the repo rate to balance growth and Inflation. Reverse Repo rate: The rate at which banks park their short-term excess liquidity with the RBI. Now let us understand various terminologies for Banks Net Interest Income (NII): This is the spread the bank makes on its lending. It is calculated as Interest Income – Interest Expended Net Interest Margin (NIM): This is the spread the bank makes on its lending. It is the earning which is left after deducting the cost paid to depositors from its yields on Loans. This is denoted in % terms. The formula is Yield on Loans – Cost of funds Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR): The capital adequacy ratio (CAR) is a measure of a bank's available capital expressed as a percentage of a bank's risk-weighted credit exposures. Essentially, it is the Capital that is available to lend. Tier I Capital – In simple words this capital is freely available with the bank to lend out. Tier II Capital- This is the capital tied up somewhere and is less freely available to lend. In case of an adverse event, the bank can use this capital to lend. Under Basel III norms, a bank’s tier 1+tier 2 capital must be a minimum of 8% of its risk-weighted holdings. The minimum capital adequacy ratio, also including the capital conservation buffer, is 10.5%. Current Account Saving Account (CASA)- There is no interest paid on the Current Account and a small interest rate is paid on a savings account. The combination of both is called CASA which shows the liabilities of the bank on which it pays relatively less interest. Deposits: Bank deposits are a savings product that customers can use to hold an amount of money at a bank for a specified length of time. In return, the financial institution will pay the customer the relevant amount of interest, based on how much they choose to deposit and for how long. Now let us come to NPA. Gross NPA (GNPA): It is the total loans on which no payment has been paid for 90 days or more. GNPA % is usually shown in each Bank’s quarterly results. The percentage is basically the GNPA amount as a % of the total advances. Slippages: Slippages denote the fresh amount of loans that have turned bad in a year. The slippage ratio of a bank is calculated as Fresh accretion of NPAs during the year /Total standard assets at the beginning of the year multiplied by 100. Provisioning Coverage Ratio (PCR): This is the ratio of provisioning to GNPA and indicates the extent of funds a bank has kept aside to cover loan losses. For Instance, a company has GNPAs of Rs 100 and they have set aside 50 Rs, then the PCR is 50%. Net NPA (NNPA): The total figure left after deducting provisions made for bad loans from GNPA. (GNPA – Provisions+upgrades/writeoffs = NNPA) Special Mention Account (SMA) SMA-0 is a category in which stress with respect to the principal and interest has remained overdue for a period of 0 to 30 days. SMA-1 is a category in which stress with respect to the principal and interest has remained overdue for a period of 30-60 days. SMA-2 is a category in which stress with respect to the principal and interest has remained overdue for a period of 60-90 days
