Revenue Sees Strong Growth
Gross revenue rose 12.9% YoY to ₹3,25,290 crore ($34.3 billion), driven by strong momentum across:
- Oil-to-Chemicals (O2C)
- Digital Services
- Retail
EBITDA Remains Stable
EBITDA for the quarter stood largely unchanged at ₹48,588 crore ($5.1 billion).
Strong earnings from Digital Services and Retail were counterbalanced by a decline in energy businesses.
Rising Costs Impact Margins
Rising Costs Impact Margins
- Depreciation increased 9.9% YoY to ₹14,808 crore

Overall Profitability Under Pressure
Profit After Tax (PAT), including share of profit/(loss) from associates and joint ventures, fell 8.9% YoY to ₹20,589 crore ($2.2 billion).
Capex Remains High
Capital expenditure for the quarter ending March 31, 2026 stood at ₹40,560 crore ($4.3 billion), reflecting continued investment across telecom, retail, and energy verticals.
