Here’s what to track from RIL results
Oil-to-telecom conglomerate Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) is expected to report healthy numbers for the quarter ended March 2024, driven by robust O2C business and healthy growth in the consumer-facing businesses of Jio and retail.
The company will announce its quarterly numbers on April 22 and the Board will also consider approving a dividend for FY24.
Revenue from operations for the fourth quarter are expected to grow up to 12% year-on-year, according to an average estimate of four brokerages.Consolidated EBITDA for the quarter is seen increasing 3% sequentially and 9% year-on-year to Rs 41900 crore.
