Reliance Jio profit zooms 182%
Telecom arm Reliance Jio Infocomm reported 182.82 per cent YoY growth in net profit at Rs 2,520 crore for the quarter against Rs 891 crore reported for the same period last year.

Jio’s revenue from operations jumped 33.70 per cent to Rs 16,557 crore while Ebitda grew 55.40 per cent to Rs 7,281 crore. It reported an Arpu of Rs 140.30 for the quarter against Rs 130.6 in March quarter. Its biggest rival Bharti Airtel NSE -2.38 % reported  an Arpu of Rs 157 for the quarter against Rs 129 for the year-ago period, thanks to the full impact of the tariff hikes in the previous quarter.

Reliance Retail reveue drops 17%
Reliance Retail, however, witnessed a 17.20 per cent YoY fall in revenue at Rs 31,633 crore. EBITDA declined 47.40 per cent YoY to Rs 1,083 crore.

The company, however, said Reliance Retail’s Ebitda was positive and resilient despite the limitations of the quarter, and cost management initiatives led to savings on fixed cost, which in turn helped cushion the impact of lower profits from lower sales.


Petchem revenues down 33%
Revenues from the petrochemicals business declined 33 per cent YoY to Rs 25,192 crore, primarily due to lower price realisations due to the Covid-19 disruptions in local and regional markets. The segment’s Ebitda declined 49.7 per cent YoY to Rs 4,430 crore.

“Weak domestic demand and higher share of exports impacted margins compared with regional benchmarks. The impact of lower realisation was partially offset by cost optimisation and integration benefits,” RIL said.
