O2C revenue declined by 2.4 per cent primarily on account of lower price realisation led by 5.3 per cent Y-o-Y decline in average brent crude oil prices.

EBITDA increased by 16.7 per cent Y-o-Y to Rs 44,678 crore ($5.4 billion).
Key contributors include 11.5 per cent Y-o-Y increase in JPL EBITDA with higher revenue and increase in margins.

EBITDA margin for RRVL improved by 50bps to 8.4 per cent reflecting operating leverage and continued focus on cost management initiatives.
Sustained performance in the O2C segment with higher gasoline cracks and advantageous feedstock sourcing.
This was partially offset by lower downstream chemical margins and planned maintenance and inspection shutdown.

O2C EBITDA would have been higher on Y-o-Y and comparable on Q-o-Q basis if all major units were available during the quarter.
