Our focus on operational discipline: Mukesh Ambani

"FY2025 has been a challenging year for the global business environment, with weak macro-economic conditions and a shifting geo-political landscape. Our focus on operational discipline, customer-centric innovation and fulfilling India’s growth requirements has helped Reliance deliver a steady financial performance during the year," said RIL Chairman Mukesh Ambani in an official statement.  Significantly, Reliance Industries reported a 15.4 per cent Y-o-Y rise in revenue for its oil to chemicals (O2C) segment at Rs 1.65 trillion. The segment also saw the highest ever annual total throughput at 80.5 MMT. 

  "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 Oil & Gas business recorded its highest ever annual EBITDA led by higher production from our KGD6 and CBM blocks," the statement added.
