Finance costs increased by 6.8% Y-o-Y to Rs 6,155 crore, primarily due to higher average liability balances. Net debt increased to Rs 117,083 crore in Q4FY25 as against Rs 115,465 crore in Q3FY25 and Rs 116,281 crore in Q4FY24.

Annually, RIL's profit after tax and share of profit/(loss) of associates & JVs increased by 2.9% Y-o-Y to Rs 81,309 crore while gross revenue increased by 7.1% Y-o-Y to Rs 1,071,174 crore. EBITDA increased by 2.9% Y-o-Y to Rs 183,422 crore. EBITDA margin contracted by 70 basis points Y-o-Y to 17.1% in FY25.

Commenting on the results, Mukesh D. Ambani, chairman and managing director, RIL said: FY2025 has been a challenging year for the global business environment, with weak macro-economic conditions and a shifting geo-political landscape.

The Oil to Chemicals business posted a resilient performance despite considerable volatility in energy markets. Significant demand-supply imbalances in downstream chemicals markets have led to multi-year low margins. Our business teams ensured optimization of integrated operations and feedstock costs to enhance margin capture across value chains.

The Retail segment also delivered consistent growth. In FY25, the business focused on a strategic recalibration of our store network, aimed at improving operational efficiencies and long-term sustainability. Our enhanced product catalogue and user experience across all formats, strengthened customer engagement. The quick hyperlocal deliveries initiative has also gained significant traction in the market, connecting strongly with the users. Our suite of omni-channel offerings and wide-spread presence will enable Reliance Retail to continue delivering superior value to all its customers.

Our Digital Services business achieved record revenue and profit numbers. Steady increase in subscriber base, with an improving mix and increasing user engagement metrics boosted earnings. Strong adoption of our 5G services and our home broadband offerings continues with accelerated addition in subscribers and in the number of home-connects.

During FY25, we have laid a strong foundation for our projects in renewable energy and battery operations. In the coming quarters, we will see the transition of this business from incubation to operationalization.

Segment EBITDA for Q4 FY25 decreased by 10.0% Y-o-Y to Rs 15,080 crore due to sharp fall in transportation fuel cracks and lower polyester chain margins partially offset by higher volume, feedstock cost optimization and higher PP and PVC delta.
