RIL Shines at #6 on Sensex: How Did Other Reliance Group Stocks Perform in 2025?

Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) emerged as the clear outperformer within the Reliance group in 2025. The stock gained around 27% during the year, making it the sixth best-performing stock on the BSE Sensex. The rally was driven by strong investor optimism across its businesses, especially telecom, retail, and new energy.

What Drove the RIL Share Price Rally?

Reliance Industries share price performance was driven upwards by several long-term triggers in 2025. The company has a diversified business model, and operates across different sectors like energy, telecom, retail, and digital services. This reduces dependence on any single segment.

Furthermore, expectations of a Reliance Jio Platforms IPO in 2026 have driven the stock upwards. 

RIL Vs. Reliance Group StocksShare Price Performance

While Reliance Industries delivered strong returns, most other listed Reliance group companies failed to keep pace in 2025.

• Jio Financial Services remained largely flat during the year.
• Network18 Media & Investments, Just Dial, DEN Networks, Hathway Cable & Datacom, Hathway Bhawani Cabletel, and Reliance Industrial Infrastructure declined between 17 % and 40 % year-to-date.

This divergence shows that investor confidence was clearly concentrated around the parent company rather than its listed subsidiaries.

Reliance Industries Growth Outlook

Reliance Industries continues to invest heavily across businesses. Near-term capital expenditure remains elevated due to the 5G rollout, planned petrochemical capacity expansion, and investments in renewable energy and new energy projects. Retail expansion and strategic acquisitions are also part of the group’s long-term growth roadmap.

Over the long run, growth from telecom, retail, petrochemicals, and clean energy is expected to support revenue and earnings expansion, keeping RIL at the centre of investor focus.
