Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries (RIL) is a multi-bagger, a blue-chip, a top-rated and the largest stock in India in terms of market capitalisation. Reliance has just struck a new milestone by logging the highest ever net profit in Q1FY26. The behemoth aims to continue doubling every 4-5 years. That being said, will Reliance see a record high rally after its record high profitability in Q1, on Monday? RIL will be in focus next week.
Reliance Industries Q1 Results:
During the April-June 2025 quarter for FY26, Reliance registered its highest ever consolidated net profit of Rs 26,994 crore, owing to its one-time gains of Rs 8,924 crore due to stake sale in Asian Paints and other investment proceeds. Not just that Reliance's EBITDA had also skyrocketed to a new quarterly all-time high.
Reliance's PAT stood at Rs 19,407 crore in Q4FY25 and at Rs 15,138 crore in Q1FY25. Meanwhile, EBITDA jumped by nearly 36% YoY to Rs 58,024 crore.
Also, gross revenue surged by 6% YoY to Rs 273,252 crore ($ 31.9 billion).
According to Mukesh Ambani, despite significant volatility in global macro conditions, Reliance begins FY26 with a robust, all-around operation and financial performance.
"Reliance is committed to contributing to India's growth on this journey through inclusive growth, technological innovation and leading energy transformation. The performance of our businesses and growth initiatives gives me confidence that Reliance will continue its stellar track record of doubling every 4-5 years," said Ambani.

How Reliance Stock Made Investors Rich?
Rs 10,000 Becomes Rs 13.25 Lakh
So let's suppose if an investor had infused Rs 10,000 in Reliance on July 14, 1995. At 13,157.18% gains, their corpus would be around Rs 13,25,718.
Rs 25,000 Becomes Rs 33.14 Lakh
Taking into consideration the all-time gains, an investment of Rs 25,000 in Reliance would enable investors to earn up to Rs 32,89,295 gains, taking their total corpus amount to Rs 33,14,295.
Rs 50,000 Becomes Rs 66.28 lakh
On the investment value of Rs 50,000, Reliance would gain up to Rs 65,78,590, and that would take their total corpus to Rs 66,28,590.
Rs 1,00,000 Becomes Over Rs 1.3 crore
The higher the investment, the highest and better are the gains, it is one of the common notions of stock market investment. So at Rs 1 lakh investment, if we add the 13,157.18% gains, the corpus comes to over Rs 1.3257 crore, making investors crorepati.
Another key factor to note is that the longer the investment, the higher the chances of stronger returns. Investors who have stayed with Reliance for decades have reaped extraordinary gains.
