Revenue guidance

Category 3
  • Strong demand in India supports growth, leveraging a fairly integrated O2C (Oil to Chemicals) operation for efficiency.
  • Consumer business focuses on strengthening market leadership in structurally long-term growth sectors through tech platform, supply chain, and distribution enhancements to sustain near and medium-term momentum.
  • Retail segment shows 8% YoY revenue growth and 10% EBITDA growth, driven by store expansion (331 new stores added), increased footfalls, digital commerce (18% revenue share), and omni-channel offerings supporting customer stickiness.
  • Consumer brands continue rapid expansion in multi-category presence with strong traction in general trade and new product launches underway.
  • Jio's digital services see 12.8% YoY revenue growth with strong subscriber additions (41 million YoY) and increased data usage; future impact of revised tariffs expected in coming quarters.
  • Oil & Gas volumes rising (e.g., KG-D6 gas production up 44% YoY), supporting EBITDA growth despite pricing volatility.
  • Overall, sustained growth expected from integrated operations, market leadership, and ongoing investments in technology and distribution.
