Reliance Industries Q3 preview

Mukesh Ambani-owned Reliance Industries (RIL) is expected to report around a 10 per cent year-on-year increase in consolidated operating income for the December 2025 quarter (Q3FY26), driven by strong performance in its oil-to-chemicals (O2C) and telecom businesses, analysts say.

 

Brokerages estimate consolidated Ebitda at ₹47,867 crore, up 9.3 per cent Y-o-Y and 4.3 per cent quarter-on-quarter, while net sales are likely to reach ₹2,65,523 crore, rising 10.6 per cent Y-o-Y and 4.3 per cent Q-o-Q.

 

Segment-wise, O2C Ebitda is expected to grow 15 per cent Y-o-Y and 10 per cent Q-o-Q, supported by better refining margins and a weaker rupee, partly offset by weak petrochemicals.

HDFC Life posts 4 per cent rise in Q3 net profit

HDFC Life Insurance reported a 4 per cent year-on-year increase in net profit to ₹421 crore for Q3FY26, up from ₹415 crore a year ago. 

  The modest growth was supported by higher premium collections, despite a nearly ₹100 crore provision for the new Wage Code. Annualised premium equivalent (APE) rose 11.3 per cent Y-o-Y to ₹3,974 crore, reflecting the sum of first-year regular premiums, 10 per cent weighted single premiums, and top-ups.

Market overview for January 16

Investor sentiment was supported by encouraging labour data, with weekly jobless claims falling to 198,000 against expectations of 215,000.
