KEY MANAGERIAL PERSONNEL (not directors):
- Srikanth Venkatachari — Chief Financial Officer (KMP; signs AR as CFO; no DIN — CFOs need not hold one). TheCompanyCheck's "DIN 00003542" is single-source and unverified.
- Savithri Parekh — Company Secretary & Compliance Officer (KMP). TheCompanyCheck's "00274934" is NOT a DIN (she is not a director; Company Secretaries carry an ICSI membership number).
GST Registrations
Legal name = Trade name = "Reliance Industries Limited" on all GSTINs; taxpayer type Regular / Public Limited Company; GST-rollout registrations dated late June–early July 2017. All under PAN AAACR5055K.
Verified anchor GSTINs (Maharashtra, cross-checked across aggregators):
- 27AAACR5055K1Z7 — Maharashtra, Active (Regular), registered 01/07/2017 (gst.jamku.app)
- 27AAACR5055K2Z6 — Maharashtra, Active (Regular), registered 28/06/2017; Belapur/Raigad jurisdiction (Masters India)
- 27AAACR5055K3Z5 — Maharashtra, Active, registered 02/07/2017 (WebSearch)
PAN-wide roster (gst.jamku.app aggregated view — SINGLE-SOURCE, treat as directional): ~60 registrations across nearly all states/UTs — ~50 Active, 3 Provisional (HP, Gujarat, Puducherry), 4 Inactive (Punjab, Odisha, MP, Karnataka), 2 Cancelled-by-taxpayer (Gujarat, D&NH), 1 Cancelled suo-moto (25AAACR5055K1ZB, Daman & Diu). WebSearch elsewhere cited "54 GST numbers" — minor count conflict between aggregators; the exact full state-by-state roster is NOT independently confirmed and should not be published as a definitive count.
Financials
All FY2024-25 figures below are CONSOLIDATED and verified against RIL's primary 48th Annual Report (audited by Deloitte Haskins & Sells LLP and Chaturvedi & Shah LLP, dated 25-Apr-2025).
FY2024-25 CONSOLIDATED (year ended 31-Mar-2025):
- Value of Sales & Services (gross, incl. ₹91,038 cr GST recovered): ₹10,71,174 crore (+7.1% YoY) — do NOT equate with "total income"
- Revenue from Operations (net of GST): ₹9,80,136 crore
- Total Income: ₹9,98,114 crore
- EBITDA: ₹1,83,422 crore (+2.9%) — reconciled: PBT ₹1,06,017 + Finance Cost ₹24,269 + D&A ₹53,136
- PBT: ₹1,06,017 crore
- Profit for the year (TOTAL, incl. non-controlling interest): ₹81,309 crore (+2.9%)
- Net Profit ATTRIBUTABLE TO OWNERS: ₹69,648 crore — essentially FLAT YoY (+0.04% vs ₹69,621 cr); NCI = ₹11,661 crore. EPS ₹51.47 is computed on the owners' figure. [The widely-quoted "PAT ₹81,309 cr, +2.9%" is the total-including-minority number; owners' earnings did not grow.]
- Total assets: ₹19,50,121 crore (exact match to primary balance sheet)
- Total equity: ₹10,09,626 crore = Equity Share Capital ₹13,532 + Other Equity ₹8,29,668 + Non-Controlling Interest ₹1,66,426. NET WORTH ATTRIBUTABLE TO OWNERS ≈ ₹8,43,200 crore (do NOT report ₹10.1 lakh cr as shareholders' net worth)
- Gross debt: ₹3,47,530 crore (non-current borrowings ₹2,36,899 + current ₹1,10,631) — exact match to primary
- Total debt incl. lease liabilities: ₹3,69,575 crore (= gross debt + leases ₹22,045 cr; reconciled, not a discrepancy)
- Cash & equivalents: ₹1,06,502 crore
- Net debt ₹1,17,083 cr / Cash profit ₹1,46,917 cr / Capex ₹1,31,107 cr — single-source (Upstox summary of AR); management-defined metrics, not independently re-derived. RIL is effectively net-cash after offsetting large cash/liquid investments.
Prior-year CONSOLIDATED comparatives (stockanalysis.com, SECONDARY/single-source):
- FY2023-24: Total assets ₹17,55,986 cr; equity ₹9,25,788 cr; total debt ₹3,46,142 cr
- FY2022-23: Total assets ₹16,07,431 cr; equity ₹8,28,881 cr; total debt ₹3,34,392 cr
STANDALONE vs CONSOLIDATED (material divergence): Tofler's standalone (parent O2C) FY25 YoY moves were NEGATIVE — Revenue −2.0%, EBITDA −21.81%, PAT −16.13%, Net Worth +5.43%, Total Assets +6.54%, Borrowings −6.13% (exact rupee values paywalled). This is expected: growth engines Jio and Reliance Retail are subsidiaries, so consolidated grew while standalone parent profit fell.
FY2025-26 (year ended 31-Mar-2026): TheCompanyCheck's "FY2026" figures (Revenue ₹10.76 lakh cr, Net profit ₹95,754 cr, EBITDA ₹2,07,911 cr, Total assets ₹21.78 lakh cr, Net worth ₹10.86 lakh cr) are aggregator-sourced and NOT verified against a primary filing — NOT OBTAINED as confirmed. Full-year audited FY26 results were not in the verified source set (CRISIL Oct-2025 and ICRA Jan-2026 cited only partial-year FY26 data).
REJECTED sources: Equitymaster's FY25 extraction (revenue ~₹4.93 lakh cr / PAT ~₹35,262 cr) does not reconcile to audited consolidated results — mis-parsed table, discarded.
Funding History
GROUP-SUBSIDIARY strategic raises (2020, press-reported — NOT RIL-parent equity issuance):
- Jio Platforms Limited (2020): ~US$20 billion from 13 investors, ~33% equity diluted over ~3 months. Named: Meta/Facebook ₹43,574 cr for 9.99%; Google ₹33,737 cr for 7.73%; plus Silver Lake, Vista Equity, General Atlantic (₹6,598.38 cr), KKR, Mubadala, ADIA (₹5,683.50 cr), TPG, L Catterton, and Saudi PIF (2.32%).
- Reliance Retail Ventures Limited (2020): ~US$7 billion; ₹47,265 cr for 10.09% equity dilution.
RIL itself raised the largest-ever Samurai (Japanese-yen) loan by an Indian corporate in FY2025-26 following its S&P upgrade (PTI). These are press-reported figures, not primary-filing verified.
Loans & Charges
From TheCompanyCheck (MCA aggregation — NOT a direct MCA pull; MCA blocked per standing guidance):
- Open charges: ₹61,550 crore; Satisfied charges: ₹1,15,942 crore; total charge records: 292.
- Sample open-charge holders: Syndicate Bank ₹26,400 cr (27-Dec-1996); "Others" ₹20,000 cr (10-Nov-2023); State Bank of India ₹12,650 cr (20-Dec-2007); HDFC Bank ₹2,500 cr (23-Mar-2022).
Secured-debenture detail (RIL/NSE filings via search): ₹20,000 cr secured NCDs allotted 2023 (20,00,000 NCDs of ₹1,00,000 face value, private placement); total secured debentures ₹28,389 cr as on 30-Sept-2025, secured by movable plant & machinery / fixed assets at Hazira and Dahej divisions. NOC for satisfaction of charge (CL02763) filed via Axis Trustee to NSE dated 03-Dec-2025.
CAVEAT: MCA charge totals are gross/historical, not current outstanding exposure (e.g., the 1996 Syndicate Bank charge is a legacy un-satisfied filing). RIL is effectively net-cash after offsetting cash/liquid investments (~₹2,29,685 cr per CRISIL at 30-Sept-2025). Individual charge IDs and the full lender list NOT OBTAINED.

DOMESTIC — all four agencies AAA/Stable, corroborated (not single-sourced):

Legal & Compliance
(News-sourced, not primary court filings — treat as reported.)
A) KG-D6 gas-migration dispute (RIL / BP Exploration (Alpha) / Niko vs Government of India / ONGC) — ACTIVE, largest case. Government demand ~US$1.55 billion (~₹12,800 cr) alleging RIL commercially exploited gas that migrated from ONGC's adjacent KG-basin block. 2018: arbitration tribunal ruled for the RIL consortium. Feb-2024: Delhi High Court division bench (Justices Rekha Palli & Saurabh Banerjee) set aside the award citing "patent illegality" and public-policy breach. May-2025: RIL consortium moved the Supreme Court to restore the award. May-2026: SC declined to pause proceedings while RIL sought mediation.
B) RPL insider-trading / SEBI case — RESOLVED IN RIL'S FAVOUR. Concerned Nov-2007 trading in Reliance Petroleum shares. Jan-2021: SEBI imposed ₹25 cr penalty on RIL, ₹15 cr on Mukesh Ambani (₹20 cr on Navi Mumbai SEZ). 2023: Securities Appellate Tribunal quashed SEBI's order and directed refund of penalties.
