Synopsis : Reliance Infrastructure reported a sharp decline in Q4 FY26 profit as rising expenses and weaker income weighed on overall earnings. The company also announced plans to raise up to ₹3,000 crore through equity-linked fundraising and unveiled key leadership changes.
Reliance Infrastructure reported a 79% year-on-year decline in net profit during Q4 FY26, with quarterly profit falling to ₹918 crore as higher expenses impacted overall profitability.
The company’s revenue from operations during the March quarter slipped 2.59% year-on-year to ₹4,001 crore. Total income also declined to ₹4,154.34 crore compared with ₹4,268.05 crore reported in the corresponding quarter of the previous financial year.
A major reason behind the sharp decline in profitability was the increase in operational expenses during the quarter. Total expenses rose 12.25% year-on-year to ₹5,419 crore, putting pressure on margins and earnings performance.
For the full financial year FY26, Reliance Infrastructure reported net profit of ₹2,900 crore, reflecting a 41.26% decline compared with the previous financial year.
Annual revenue also weakened during FY26, falling 13.35% year-on-year to ₹20,440 crore amid continued operational challenges across segments.
Alongside its quarterly earnings announcement, the company’s board approved a proposal to seek shareholder authorisation for raising up to ₹3,000 crore through issuance of equity shares, equity-linked instruments, and other eligible securities.
The proposed fundraising may be executed through a Qualified Institutions Placement (QIP), Follow-on Public Offer (FPO), or a combination of both methods. The company stated that the move is aimed at enhancing financial flexibility and supporting future business initiatives.
Reliance Infrastructure also announced key leadership changes during the quarter.
Vijesh Babu Thota has been appointed as the company’s new Chief Executive Officer effective May 23. Thota previously served as the company’s Chief Financial Officer.
At the same time, Asheesh Chaturvedi has been appointed as the company’s new Chief Financial Officer.
The management restructuring comes at a time when the company is focusing on improving operational efficiency and strengthening its balance sheet amid a challenging infrastructure and financing environment.
