Reliance Industries reported a 22% YoY drop in net profit to Rs 20,946 crore, down from Rs 26,994 crore, driven by last year's one-time Rs 8,924 crore Asian Paints stake-sale gain rather than operational weakness. Retail, digital and oil-to-chemicals posted steady operating performance; promoter holding rose to 50.48% and the stock gained 2.59% to Rs 1,326.50.
