What WCRC found
A leading financial position, with FY2025-26 consolidated revenue of Rs11.76 lakh crore and EBITDA of Rs2.08 lakh crore.
Credible brand extension from refining into retail, digital and new energy.
A large, loyal retail base: 387 million registered customers and 20,160 stores.
What holds it back: Its core remains fossil-heavy refining, and WCRC could not verify a firm net-zero pathway, which holds back its environmental standing.
