According to a statement issued after its Board meeting, the company saw a record annual consolidated revenue of Rs 1,071,174 crore ($125.3 billion).

Mukesh Ambani, chairman and managing director, said, "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."
Ambani also highlighted that the O2C segment delivered a "resilient performance despite considerable volatility in energy markets" and noted that the Oil & Gas business recorded its highest-ever annual EBITDA.
Speaking about the retail division, he said, "The business focused on a strategic recalibration of our store network, aimed at improving operational efficiencies and long-term sustainability. The quick hyperlocal deliveries initiative has also gained significant traction in the market, connecting strongly with the users."
Further, as per PTI, Reliance Retail’s consumer brands business delivered Rs 11,450 crore revenue in FY25, making it the fastest-growing FMCG company in India. The online fashion platform AJIO added 1.9 million new customers in the March quarter and expanded its portfolio to 2.4 million options, marking a 44 per cent year-on-year growth. In the jewellery segment, steady growth was recorded, aided by higher average bill values and a broader product offering.
Reliance’s grocery business continued to scale up FreshPik and GoFresh formats by offering differentiated assortments and an enhanced shopping experience, according to PTI. Its cash & carry business Metro also posted a 37 per cent year-on-year increase in sales, led by strong growth in staples, processed foods, confectionery, and beverages.
On the New Energy front, Ambani said, "In the coming quarters, we will see the transition of this business from incubation to operationalization. I firmly believe that the New Energy growth engine will create significant value for Reliance, for India and for the world," reported ANI.
In another key update, during the March quarter, Reliance Jio signed an agreement with SpaceX to offer Starlink’s broadband internet services in India, subject to regulatory approvals. Jio will sell Starlink equipment through its stores and will set up support systems for installation and activation.
