The year 2025 was not particularly bullish for the Indian stock market, but Reliance Industries did not disappoint investors. While the Sensex could rise only by about 8% year-on-year, Reliance shares made a spectacular jump of about 28%. This is the reason why Reliance became one of the top gainers of Sensex this year. Recently the share closed around Rs 1,565 and remains very close to its record high of Rs 1,580. In such a situation, let us understand whether now is the time to book profits from Reliance or we can keep it on hold.
The biggest strength of Reliance is its diversified business model. From oil-refining to telecom, retail and digital platforms, the company is strongly present in many sectors. Even when there were fluctuations in global markets, it did not have a major impact on Reliance’s earnings. There was a good growth in profit and operating income in the quarterly results, which further strengthened the confidence of investors.
From oil to digital, strength on every front
The company’s oil-to-chemical (O2C) business remained stable despite international challenges. Improvement in refining margins and demand for petrochemical products supported this segment. On the other hand, Jio has emerged as the biggest growth engine of Reliance. By investing in 5G network, digital services, AI and data business, Jio is continuously adding new customers and its earnings are also increasing.
Retail and media increased their strength
The presence of Reliance Retail has now spread to small towns and online platforms. JioMart and Quick Delivery Services have further connected the company to the common consumer. Along with this, media and streaming business has also added a new dimension to the company’s earnings, where the profit margin is considered to be much better.
Confidence increased due to credit rating upgrade
Upgrading of Reliance’s credit rating in December 2025 is being considered a big positive sign. It is clear from this that the company’s earnings are now becoming more stable and predictable. In the coming time, the company is expected to get a major share of cash from retail and digital business.
Should we book profits now?
This question is now in the minds of common investors. The stock is close to its all-time high, so it is natural for short-term investors to be tempted to book profits. However, from a long-term perspective, Reliance’s focus is on green energy, renewables, hydrogen and new technologies, which can create huge value in the future.
