"Diversified sourcing ensured near full refinery throughput despite global crude and product market disruptions," Anant Ambani said.
RIL also stepped up domestic energy supplies during the crisis. According to him, the company increased LPG supply by nearly four times to support India's energy needs and redirected domestic gas to priority sectors during LNG supply disruptions triggered by the West Asia conflict.
On the upstream business, Anant Ambani highlighted the company's contribution to India's energy security.
"Gas production stood at nearly 26 mmscmd, around 30% of India's natural gas output, while oil production was about 18,000 barrels per day," he said.
He also pointed to strong momentum in the coal bed methane (CBM) business, driven by progress in multi-lateral wells.
Looking ahead, Anant Ambani said Reliance remains focused on expanding its exploration and production portfolio.
"Continued pursuit of new opportunities in exploration and production (E&P)," he said, underscoring the company's commitment to strengthening India's energy ecosystem amid evolving global challenges.
