Reliance Industries (RIL), India's most valuable company by market capitalization, has announced the date for the release of its Q4 results for the fiscal year 2026 (FY26). Furthermore, this company—led by Mukesh Ambani—is also planning to distribute a dividend to its investors. This decision to issue a dividend comes after the company distributed a dividend of ₹15.50 per share and issued bonus shares in a 1:1 ratio over the past two years. Notably, this will also mark Reliance's first dividend payout of 2026.

**When is the Reliance Board Meeting Scheduled?**
In a regulatory filing, Reliance announced that a meeting of its Board of Directors has been scheduled for April 24, 2026. During this meeting, the company's standalone and consolidated audited financial results for the quarter ending March 31, 2026—as well as for the entire fiscal year—will be reviewed and approved.

**Decision on Dividend Payout**
In addition to the Q4 results, the Reliance Board also plans to consider the declaration of a dividend on equity shares for the fiscal year 2025-26 during the meeting on April 24. Following the decision regarding the dividend, the Record Date, Ex-Date, and Payment Date will be announced at a later stage.
It is worth noting that to be eligible for the dividend, one simply needs to purchase the company's shares before the designated Record Date, after which the dividend proceeds are credited directly to the account.

**What Has Been the Dividend Track Record?**
Reliance has maintained a strong track record regarding dividend payouts over the past two years. In August 2025, the company distributed a dividend of ₹5.50 per share to investors for FY25; before that, in August 2024, it had distributed a dividend of ₹10 per share for FY24.
Additionally, in the year 2024, Reliance also issued bonus shares to its investors in a 1:1 ratio. Under this initiative, eligible shareholders received one free share for every existing equity share held.

**What to Expect from the Results?**
As far as the company's quarterly results are concerned, it is projected that during the January-March quarter, Reliance will record a steady performance in its retail and telecom businesses, and its EBITDA is expected to witness growth despite the volatile market environment.
It is anticipated that Reliance could post a steady 10% year-on-year growth in consolidated EBITDA, while the standalone figure could rise by up to 18%.

**How ​​Were the Results in the Previous Quarter?**
In the October-December quarter, RIL reported a consolidated net profit of ₹18,645 crore, which was 0.6% higher than the ₹18,540 crore recorded in the third quarter of FY25. Meanwhile, the company's revenue from operations for the quarter stood at ₹2,93,829 crore—a 9.97% increase over the ₹2,67,186 crore revenue in the third quarter of FY25, and a 3.63% increase compared to the ₹2,83,548 crore recorded in Q2FY26.
