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
