Lower fuel cracks, tepid global demand and new refineries impacted Reliance's core O2C business: Mukesh Ambani

Reliance Industries' Q1 profit dropped to Rs 15,138 crore, a 5% year-on-year and 20% quarter-on-quarter decline from March's Rs 18,951 crore. The O2C segment experienced a 14.3% EBITDA fall due to lower fuel and petrochemical margins. Petrol margins decreased by 30%, depreciation was Rs 13,596 crore, and finance costs rose despite telecom and retail gains.
