Reliance Industries Limited

Good evening and welcome to the first quarter financial year 2024-2025 financial resource presentation of Reliance Industries. As always we will have Srikanth walk you through the consolidated performance followed by Anshuman Thakur, who will give you the overview of Jio's performance, Dinesh Dhaduja on retail, Sanjay Roy on ELP, then Srikanth will come back to talk about O2C and summarize our performance.

Over to you, Srikanth. Thanks, Renu, and good evening to all of you. Starting with the performance, EBITDA at 42,748, up 2% year-on-year. This is important for me to say that the growth in consumer business and strong upstream offset we go to see. On retail, we have seen a growth led by grocery and consumer electronics and also improvements in the overall customer engagement, as well as on contribution from digital channels. On the digital side, benefits coming from healthy subscriber addition, and also increasing FTTH penetration. Overall, on the O2C side, we will see it later on, but, you know, clearly declining fuel cracks and challenging downstream margin environment. In oil and gas, led by high volumes, which was offset a little bit by lower price realization. So for us, the diversified portfolio helped deliver this performance, with consumer being more than half of the overall earnings. Specifically on retail, you can see revenues at almost 76,000 crores, EBITDA about 5,700 crores. They are up about 8% and about 10.5%. Overall PAT at 2,549, up close to 5%. And you can see some of the operational metrics like footfall, 296 million, up 19%. Registered customer base at 316, up 18%. When you look at revenue and EBITDA growth, it includes the fact that we had a strong consumer electronics, you know, business growth, specifically ACs and refrigerators and TV. We also had strong performance in grocery stores. Some of the sales that we did showed high traction with almost 30% year-on-year growth. However, on fashion and lifestyle, it was much more tepid with discretionary demand being lower. So that in some sense, that was the consumer electronics and grocery, it was on the lower side. The revenue and EBITDA growth also covers for the fact that, you know, there was a streamlining of operations with focus on margin improvement. And as you can see, year on year, there has been an improvement of margin by almost 30 basis points at 8.5%. Also, when you look at the while the cross ads were at 331, you can see that the net ads were about 82 stores. So the also the performance covers for the fact that, you know, we continue to focus on. enhancing the tech platform, focus on supply chain and distribution capabilities. This is more for us to maintain the growth momentum both in the near and medium term. So for us, you know, strengthening the market leadership in a structurally long-term growth industry, that's really what has been the focus here. On digital side, revenues in EBITDA up, you know, revenues at 12.8% and 11.6% for EBITDA, almost 15,000 crores of EBITDA. This is on the back of subscriber addition. We added 41 million on a year-on-year basis and 8 million in just this water. Data traffic data, you can see it's about almost 33% at 44.1 billion GB. and 130 million subscribers migrated to Jio through 5G. And Sanchuman will cover, you know, we are now... At this level, we are the largest operator in the world when you look at data capacity and what we handle. Also, you know, we'll be the second largest in terms of 5G subscribers. So, and as you know, the tariff hike happened and the benefits of the tariff hike will be seen in the coming quarters. On the O2C side, as you can see, 13,100 crores have been dug. lowered 14% on a year-on-year basis. And that is primarily driven by gasoline cracks, which was down 30%. PE was down. PP was down anywhere between 16% to 17%. Polyester chain integrated deltas were also lowered by 15%. These are big products, and you could see these are big falls in terms of margin. But it was partially offset by the fact that we continue to benefit from being able to crack ethane, and also the domestic demand both for oil, polymer, polyester held well. Overall, when you see the performance, you know, energy markets, you're seeing this kind of volatility in earnings, you know, different points in time. It is geopolitics, it's weather, it is outages, it's refining capacity. So when you look back over the last eight quarters, you know, we have seen EBITDA ranging anywhere between 12,000 crores to 20,000 crores. But overall, fair to say that the structural drivers of the business remains fairly very constructive. And so, therefore, these performances would have to be seen in that context. Oil and gas, 5,210 crores of EBITDA, it's up 30%. This was on the back of volume increase, as you can see, KGDC's production up 44% on a year-on-year basis. However, there was price correction of decrease of about 14%, resulting in a net EBITDA of 30%. Overall, we now have gas of almost 29 mCV. It used to be 20 same time last year, and oil and condensate production of almost 22,000 barrels per day. This is the overall financial results as I was highlighting to you. Revenue at 2,58,000 crores, up 11.5%, as you know, both because of OTC revenues being higher because oil prices were much higher than what it was a year back. Also, it is also on the back of growth in retail. EBITDA, we spoke about overall growth of 2% with consumer businesses more than offsetting the sharp reduction in OTC performance given the broader operating context there. And therefore, you could see the translation coming to in terms of PAT at 17,500, which was lower by 4.5% on a year-on-year basis. Just the bridge, when you see year-on-year comparison, I talked about cracks, gasoline, PPP, polyester chain being lower. I talked about oil and gas benefiting from higher volume, but to some extent offset by lower price there. Retail benefiting from store expansion and increasing footfalls. Digital side benefiting from customer ad. I mentioned about 41 million year-on-year. And also the fact that people are using more, 33% increase in data traffic now per user per month is almost 30 GB per customer. So you're seeing good traction in terms of consumption of services. On the quarter-on-quarter side, predominantly what you see and hear, the product mix was slightly different in the sense that the big fall you saw was really in gasoline, gas oil, and ATF, which was down about 36% to 37%. There was actually an uptick in terms of downstream with PVC up 17% and PE up 7%. Oil and gas was marginal declines in volume that we saw, and realization also was marginally lower. On retail, the effect of lower discretion is spent especially on fashion and lifestyle. And the fact that I refer to the streamlining of operations and the focus on some of the other areas that I talked about. And digital services, a strong traction with 8 million customers being added on the network. And also good traction on GOF, which Anshuman will talk about. Overall net debt at about a lack in 12,000 crores versus a lack in 16,281 in March. And CapEx overall, 29,000 crores, which is much lesser than the cash profits that we have been generating, and also significantly lower than the CapEx of close to 39,000, which we had same time last year. Overall net debt a bit well within the very conservative framework that we have. So we have the balance sheet strength to deliver on some of the growth initiatives that we have, and importantly for generating value. With this, I'm handing it over to Anshuman.

Thank you, Shrikanth. Good evening, everyone. I'll take you through the results of the digital services business NGO. In terms of the highlights for the quarter. The JPL consolidated revenues came in at 29,449 crores, which is a growth of 12.8% YOY, and EBITDA at 14,638 crores. So fairly healthy growth driven by, you know, a combination of things. Operating performance was good. Subscriber uptake of new services was good. And we continue to see good traction across all of the services, service offerings. The subscriber base for the quarter ended at 489.7 million, which was a net addition of 8 million for the quarter. The 5G subscriber base was close to 130 million, which makes Jio the largest 5G subscriber base outside of China. ARCO for the quarter came in at 181.7 rupees, which was almost at the same level as the last previous quarter. Again, a combination of things here, some improvement because of increased utilization. But given the promotional efforts at this point in time for promoting 5G consumption, I would just remind you that this does not factor in any of the tariff increase. The tariff increase happened after the quarter had ended. On the data consumption itself, we saw a very healthy growth trend, 33% year-on-year increase in data traffic. at 45, almost close, 44, a bit over 44 exabyte for a quarter, which now makes us, makes Jio the world's largest operator in terms of data traffic. And this is compared with all of the other operators. So not, you know, that excluding China, Qualifier does not apply here. Also, 5G now accounts for 31% of the overall wireless data traffic. So very healthy growth in 5G. The subscribers are consuming a lot of data and the per capita data consumption is growing fairly rapidly. On the fixed wireless or the homes front, our FTTH business continues to do well and grow healthily. The fixed wireless business is also, we crossed a million connections there, and the performance has been very steady. The data consumption, customer engagement matrices are all very healthy. We continue to build on the number one position that we have in home broadband services with more than 60% share of the industry net add. All in all, fairly healthy, good, robust performance, good growth. The growth momentum being driven by the 5G mobility and air fiber, very high data consumption uptake. So, you know, the things that we're targeting have been delivered quite well this quarter. So, as I said, the transition to 5G has been ahead of schedule. People are taking up 5G services very rapidly. We have the world's largest 5G subscriber base outside of China at close to 130 million. And the 5G data accounting for 31% of the overall data traffic on the Jio network. All of this data has been carried on our own 5G plus 4G combo core. So this is our own network, you know, the core network that you had put together that is carrying all of this traffic and our tech capabilities are getting validated on the field with extremely high utilization by, you know, in terms of both number of subscribers and overall data consumption. Writing on the benefits of 5G, we started launching some new services in the market as well. You would have come across some of these GeoSafe, which is an app for ultra-secure communication, quantum-level security on a 5G network. Now, given our standalone 5G network, we are able to do some of these things, which would not have been possible on any other network, or even on 5G is only possible with the standalone configuration that we've got. GeoTranslate, another app, which with now fairly, you know, the quality of networks being so much better, the latency being so much lower, is, you know, it's time to launch some of these kind of apps and services, which are very useful for people. We have covered almost all of the Indian languages in this app, and it's real-time conversation-like feeling. So I'd encourage you to go and try this app as well on the Geo5G network. Moving on to the air fiber and our home offering, we are continuing to push the air fiber offering. It is now available across the country, pan India, and we're seeing demand coming pan India from not only from the metro and tier one cities, but tier two and tier three cities as well, smaller towns. We are seeing demand coming pretty much from all across the country, and we are being able to service that demand now with our network available across the country. The run rate of connecting new homes has been picking up. And this quarter, we have had the highest ever quarterly home connects at over 1.1 million. And as we keep deploying across the country, we expect to be able to connect many more homes in the quarters to come. The ability, I spoke about standalone 5G network, the ability to do things on that standalone network like network slicing or also deploy point-to-multipoint offerings is helping us give very high throughput and fiber-like experience on our air fiber service. And in fact, in terms of data consumption, time utilization, etc., The air fiber homes are currently keeping pace. In fact, most of them are consuming more data than the FTTH homes. And the uptake has been very, very encouraging. There is clear service differentiation and innovative distribution, which is helping us increase demand for the service. Moving on to the enterprise business, where also we have been making inroads in key verticals as per our strategic direction. This is something we've been speaking to you about the last few quarters. We are now successfully displacing competition. Wherever we are getting an opportunity, as you would appreciate, enterprise deals tend to be longer tenor. So we have to wait for the opportunity where these come up for renewal and then make our entry, and we've been able to do that. We have expanded our wallet share beyond connectivity. So once again, for us, enterprise offering is a combination of connectivity, but value added services. And we have spoken about these value added services with you in the past, which is what we take to the market. And this would include cloud, chatbot, CFAS, and several vertical solutions that we offer to our clients. So we've been expanding wallet share across connectivity into these other services that we're offering. We're building partner ecosystems as well to tap into opportunities, especially in some of the specialized sectors where getting access through partner ecosystem is easier and faster. Another service or offering which is gaining traction is IoT. And here again, it's a combination of connectivity device and the software element, the platform itself that we offer to our clients. and we're seeing good uptake in these services as well. There have been cohort-specific propositions, and in the past we've spoken with you about some of these, like those for the hospitality segment. So we are seeing good traction in education, manufacturing, and hospitality. BFSI continues to be very strong for us. And in BFSI, therefore, we are now leveraging on the relationships to offer more services and also tie up with some of our BFSI clients to do more beyond just providing them connectivity and some enterprise offerings. So all in all, we're seeing good traction in the enterprise segment, which is building up quite well for us. A couple of updates now which happened during the quarter or towards the end of the quarter. One was the tariff increase. You're already familiar with this. This was announced and made effective from the 3rd of July. So not in the previous quarter. The impact will only be seen starting this quarter. The tariff increase, you know, across the industry was in the 13% to 25% range. But what we've done is for the geo... Bharat and the Duo phone, which are the entry-level devices, which really are focused towards our aim of 2G MOOC Bharat and really transitioning all of the subscribers onto digital services and digital platforms, which is an aim that we have got. For them, there has been no change in tariff. In addition, for the 5G experience that we are currently offering is still available at no additional cost to subscribers who have subscribed to certain plans. And this is to encourage 5G consumption on the network and people to adopt more and more of 5G services. So we expect, you know, as was on expected lines, a post-tariff increase. The other operators have also raised tariffs. Overall, the industry tariff levels have gone up. There may be some transient impact, but we think in the longer term, this is going to be good for the overall telecom industry and help build a premier digital society and strengthen the overall sector. The other development in the previous quarter was the spectrum auction which happened. As we have told you in the past, we have a very good spectrum bank with us which fulfills the requirements across all of the services that we are offering, LTE, 5G, whatever we're doing at home and using some of that spectrum. So we didn't really – we were very focused in acquiring more spectrum, right-to-use spectrum. Only in places where we had seen demand go up, the data consumption going up, and therefore in order to ensure that the customer service never suffered, we added more spectrum in Bihar and West Bengal in the 1800 megahertz band at a total cost of 974 crores. So we were very focused in looking at spectrum, which we really needed to just ensure that our customers always get the best offering. Otherwise, we have a fairly good spectrum bank to offer all of the services that we are doing. Our spectrum footprint across bands is now at 26,801 megahertz. This is combining across all of the circles in the country and uplink and downlink together. You would know already, I'm just reiterating that we are the only operator who is running 5G across low band, mid band, and high band, 700, 3300, and 26 gigahertz, which gives us unique advantages like career aggregation and standalone network. Moving on to the operating and financial matrices, key operating metrics for RJIL, our connectivity business, we ended the quarter at 489.7 million subscribers. That's an addition of 8 million for the quarter. ARPU came in at 181.7, almost similar to the last quarter for reasons that I already spoke about. The 5G consumption uptick, has driven data consumption to 30.3 GB per user per month. That's more than a GB per user per day. You know, something that we used to speak about when we had just about started that consumers should be consuming more than a GB of data per day. And the voice traffic also continues to be healthy. So all of the business KPIs or the operating KPIs are going healthy. Moving on to the RJIL financials, this is just for the connectivity business. The operating revenues increased to 26,478 crores. That was a 10.1% year-on-year increase. And the EBITDA went up to 14,022 crores at an EBITDA margin of 53%. So the margins have kept on steadily improving and fairly consistent performance on this front. Moving on to the consolidated financials for Jio Platforms Limited, the operating revenues for the quarter came in at 29,449 crores. That was a 12.8% year-on-year growth. The EBITDA was at 14,638 crores, and the EBITDA margin was 49.7%. Profit after tax increased to 5,693 crores, again around 11.7% year-on-year increase. So fairly steady across all of the key financial matrices as well. With that, I will hand over to Dinesh to take you through the results of the retail business. Thank you, everyone, and have a good evening.

Thanks, Anshuman. Hi, good evening, everyone. For the retail business, the revenue had an 8% growth year on year at 75,615 crores. EBITDA growth was at 10% at 5,664 crores. This was led by growing footfalls, expansion of our store footprint, as well as streamlining of operations, which is driving the margin improvement. Our EBITDA margin from operations came in at 8.2%, which is a 30 basis points growth on a YOY basis. All our operational metrics, whether it's registered customers, footfalls, transactions, show healthy growth trend. All our channels continue to grow well. Digital commerce and new commerce contribution stands at 18% of total revenues. We opened 331 new stores during the quarter with a gross area addition of 3.1 million square feet. The net addition was at 82 for the quarter and the total store count stands at 18,918 with a total area of 81.3 million square feet. We continue to make enhancements to our technology platform, our supply chain capabilities, our distribution capabilities. All of these are putting us in a good position to sustain the growth momentum in the near and medium term. We covered this revenue growth of 8% at 75,615 crores, EBITDA of 5,664 crores at 10% growth and profit after tax at 2,549 crores. Moving on to the highlights for each of the consumption baskets. The consumer electronics business had healthy growth on average bill values as well as growth in customer walk-ins. Our digital stores continue to deliver steady growth with 5% LFL growth. We had a really hot summer, so the growth in summer season was driven by ACs and refrigerators. Plus, we had Cricket World Cup and IPL. We drove the demand for TVs. Rescue, which is a services business, we launched 50 plus new centers during the quarter. We also launched on-demand services, which are now available in 45 cities where basically customers can book out of warranty services on the app and we will service those. Our B2B to C business, JMD, continues to grow across categories. Mobile phone is the biggest portion, but even other categories are growing well. We continue to expand our merchant base, which is up 14% YOY. Our product business, we continue to launch new products across categories as well as grow our distribution network, which is up 100% on a YOY basis. We are already getting a good volume share in the overall industry as well as the share in our own digital stores for our own products is growing steadily. Fashion lifestyle business, the demand for it has been across the industry, the discretionary spend has been tapered. Our focus has been on ensuring that we refresh the assortment. We have trendy assortment in our stores and we continue to expand our store footprint. Our new formats, Yusta, Azot and Gap, which we had launched last year, they continue to receive very strong traction from consumers. And we are scaling up these formats substantially. We also announced an exclusive partnership with ASOS, the UK fast fashion retailer, to launch their brands in India. across both online and offline channels. Our source is primarily an online retailer, but we'll also be opening stores for them in India. Our online fashion business, our GOB2C, had another very steady quarter. We added close to 2 million customers during the quarter. The focus has been on differentiating by exclusive brands, exclusive products, and we continue to expand our brand portfolio with the catalog growing more than 20% on a YOY basis. We added multiple new brands across categories during the quarter. Also, our flagship big bold sale event did very well. We had 20% higher traffic and 50% higher conversion versus BAU during this period. Premium brands business, we continue to expand the stores. We also are looking at expanding into new categories. So on the F&B business, we opened multiple Pretamanger new stores. This is a franchise that we have for India. At Geolux, which is the premium luxury fashion destination, we had a strong growth in the number of brands as well as number of options. The total portfolio of luxury brands on the platform crossed 700 and it is the leading platform for luxury fashion in the country. On our beauty business, as you would recollect, we have taken over the Sephora franchise for India and we have done a couple of big brand exclusive launches during the quarter, Kylie Cosmetics and Rare Beauty Summer Collection. Joel's business also delivered a steady growth in spite of the gold prices rising substantially. We launched almost 30 new collections, which helps us differentiate in the market to capitalize on both Akshay Trithya as well as the wedding season, and the business continues on a steady growth path. We continue to leverage events, festivals to really drive assortment which is relevant for the occasion. And during Akshay Trithya, we had very strong growth. Grocery had another steady quarter led by the big box of formats, smart and smart bazaar and expansion into tier two and beyond cities. For many of the cities, we are the first modern trade retailer in those locations. In addition, we are expanding our premium formats of signature and fresh pig in select affluent catchments. They offer an opportunity for better margins and throughput as well as differentiate our brand. Our key flagship events, Summer Ready Sale and Paisa Vasul Sale, have got good traction and customer engagement with healthy growth over the same period last year. We had broad based growth across categories, pulses, cereals, non-food, general merchandise and apparel. Their share is growing, which is helping on margins as well. Also, it was a summer season and some of the seasonal categories like cold drinks, ice creams and even some of the seasonal foods like mango did extremely well. Our B2B business, Metro, we continue to scale the store presence. We opened 30 new stores during the quarter, taking the total store count to 200 plus with presence across 180 plus cities. This model enables us to offer an omni-channel model to the merchants where they come into the stores and experience the wide range of assortment. Plus they can order online at their convenience on the app as well. Geomart, the focus has been on enhancing the economics by increasing average order values, which were up 16% on a YOY basis. As you are aware, it started as a grocery platform, but over the last 18 months, we've kind of, we've been working on growing it as a multi-category horizontal platform. And towards that objective, the non-grocery categories Both 1P as well as 3P continue to do well. Electronics, which is a key category after grocery, had a 50% growth on a YOY basis. We continue to add new options as well as the seller base to expand the options which are available to the consumer so that they have a wide choice when they come to the platform. We are also leveraging our hyper-local presence for customer acquisition and target them for grocery and cross-sell other categories through targeted interventions. We have a big advantage with our Pan India store network compared to any of the other online players who spend a lot on customer acquisition. We are able to take very targeted initiatives and create customer stickiness through an omni-channel offering. We continue to improve our platform and add new functionalities. It's an ongoing endeavor to enhance the experience of the consumers. And we added some interesting options during the quarter. For example, if you have SKUs with multiple weights, there's a weight drop-down based on which the customer can just select what weight of that category do they want. Our consumer brands business, which is one of our newer businesses, continues to get very strong traction in the market. We now have multi-category presence across beverages, staples, home and personal care, processed food, etc. And across categories, we have been launching new products. As well as we have been expanding our presence in the general trade channel, which delivered 150% YOY growth, while the business has a big advantage of leveraging our own store network as well as the B2B channel that we have. But we are also taking these brands into general trade and they're getting very strong traction there. During the quarter, we launch products across multiple brands, including Kampa, Independence, Maliban, Ravelgaon, etc. The idea is to have an expanded portfolio at attractive price points. And there are multiple pilots underway, so across different categories. So you see a host of product launches in the coming quarters, which will further enhance our product portfolio. We are also investing in strengthening the supply chain across categories through partnering with different players so that we have localized supply chain, which will give us a big cost advantage over other FMCG companies. That's it for consumer brands. We can move on to the oil and gas section.

Thanks, Dinesh. Good evening, everyone. Just to recap the performance over the last quarter. So in EBITDA, we are marginally lower on quarter-on-quarter with 5,210 crores, but A substantial jump year-on-year, almost 30%. This is mainly on the back of steady production from KGD6. We continue to produce around 29 million cubic meters of gas and about 22,000 barrels of oil in condensate. The main impact was felt due to the price realization in the month of April. We saw prices coming much lower, but as the months rolled by, you know, in the subsequent two months, we saw global markets, you know, a price surge, and accordingly, you know, we've seen better price realizations over that period. CBM, the good news is that we're seeing a turnaround in the field. The production has been up almost 10 percent, both quarter on quarter and year on year, and the 40-well multilateral well program that is currently underway is yielding positive results. We have completed 21 wells, and the balanced wells are expected to be put online by the year end, and we expect to see an incremental 0.5 million standard cubic meters per gas in that period from these wells. All in all, a strong EBITDA driven by higher production and stable operations. So overall, you can see that the production has grown four times, and we are currently focusing on sustaining this production, both from KGT6 as well as ramping up production from CBM. In terms of the global markets, so like I mentioned, it was an interesting quarter. The first month, you know, There were headwinds, prices had gone down to almost, the price realization was around $8.50 or so. But at the time, with the outages globally in energy terminals, as well as some production disruptions and maintenance activities that were undertaken, we could see, coupled with some of the strong summer demand from Asia, particularly due to the heat waves and so on, and outages in nuclear plants and coal plants in Asia, particularly Japan and Korea, we saw overall, you know, the supplies coming down, demand being stronger. Consequently, we saw prices go all the way up to $13, slightly over $13 in June, and we saw better realizations. In the short term, we expect prices to be range-bound. We don't expect any major new LNG capacity additions, as well as there is expected to be maintenance activities in the Norwegian fields. Uncertainty of the Russia pipeline supplies, we can also lose largely in the near term, and we believe that with strong rent prices, prices for LNG look to be in a firm place. Overall, we expect prices to remain supported in the near term. Indian gas market looks quite robust. In fact, energy imports increased by 30% in the first quarter and mainly driven by CGT demand and higher gas-based power generation due to the heat waves in India. In fact, we almost saw the consumption go up to 40 million standard cubic meters in the power sector compared to the 24 million standard cubic meters. As well as in CGD, we saw the demand go up from about 37 million standard cubic meters to up to 41. So, you know, good demand in those sectors. As such, in this half, the ceiling price remains at $9.87 for MMBTU. Overall, with the pipeline infrastructure we have and searching power demand, we expect the demand to remain robust in India. Thank you.

Thanks, Sanjay. So moving to the last part of the presentation for O2C, EBITDA at 13,100 crores, lower by 14% on a year-on-year basis, and about 22% on a Q-on-Q basis. As we were talking about, year-on-year fall is primarily because of gasoline, which was down 30%, polyethylene and polypropylene about 16% to 17%, as well as the whole integrated polyester chain was down 15%. For us, the fact that low ETH prices help because of ETH cracking capabilities and also we're supported by the fact that domestic demand was good. Overall, you know, energy market volatility is something that we have been seeing for various set of reasons. However, you know, we do think that the structural business dynamics remains constructive. The extent of volatility in the markets can be gauged from the fact that last eight quarters we have seen this whole range between 12,000 crores to 30,000 crores of EBITDA, which is the one that we reported. On Q and Q basis, again, primarily driven by this time, transportation fuels, gasoline, gas oil, And ATF down about 37%. The good news was that there was some margin improvement downstream with PVC up 17% and also PE was also up 7%, which helped offset some of the fall that we saw in transportation fuel. Continuing benefit from ethane cracking economics also supported in the quarter. When you look at, this is just the group price. Effectively, we were looking at $85 per barrel as far as first quarter was concerned, which was higher by about 9% on a year-on-year basis. And overall kept higher, it has been higher because of demand from emerging market, also the fact that OPEC plus OPEC supplies were on the lower side. I talked about E10 economics as reflected in the fact that E10 prices were down 9% year on year, but at the same time, NAFTA prices increased by 16%. We did see regional refining margins come off on the back of higher runs. We saw new capacity ramp up with Middle East and also demand environment in Europe and China was muted. Overall oil demand, you can see year on year up 0.7 million, primarily in Asia, which accounts for most of the increase. On the transportation fuel, you can see that, you know, gasoline, gas oil was, gasoline was up 0.2 million barrels per day, gas oil was down 0.2. Big jump was in Jetcaro, which was up 0.6 million barrels per day and more led by Asia. In India, the oil demand at almost 61 million tons, that was up 3.5% year-on-year and flat Q-on-Q. Here, gasoline demand was up by 7% back of tourism on back of auto industry growth. High-speed diesel demand about 2% and ATF up 11% given the domestic air passenger traffic increase that we saw. It's fairly healthy growth in oil demand in India. On the polyester side, 8% growth in polymer, 5% growth in polyester. In polymer, really led by PVC, benefiting from all the government schemes on agriculture and infrastructure. Polypropylene was specifically consumer durables and food packaging that we saw in automotive demand. And overall on the polyester side, the big jump, 37% you see in PT on the back of, you know, summer and also the fact that it was election. So, you know, you saw that kind of surge in demand. In PSF, 9% was driven by the fact that we did see downstream operating rates improve, and therefore, by definition, the PSF volumes went up. But on the converse side, on polyester filament yarn, we saw a fall of 4% because of fabric imports that we saw. On this is the transportation cracks here. You can see that year-on-year, gas oil and ATF has been year-on-year has been a little bit lower, but not too much. While on gasoline, you can see year-on-year cracks come off very sharply, as we saw earlier on. The Q on Q has been more pronounced in all the three products, which is the 37% that I talked to you about. And in Q on Q, it was really driven by the fact that we did see supply glut in Asia because of the Red Sea tensions, because of the higher freight and, therefore, lower exports. And, therefore, there was a significant surplus that we saw in this part of the world. So that explains the sharp fall there. On the polymer delta, you know, as I was mentioning, polymer deltas were between around 17 percent lower on a year-on-year basis, though on QOQ basis it improved by about 7 percent. PVC specifically went up very sharply at about 17 percent. And as I mentioned about the ethane cracking, the economics was pretty favorable here. Polyester has been year-on-year 15% fall, more driven by weaker global demand and also much slower China recovery. Q1Q has been, you know, just about a percent improvement there. We did see improvement in pH margins because of shutdowns. PTA margins have remained under pressure. But we did see PFI and PSF margin improve with Chinese downstream demand. Here there has been an increase in throughput, as you can see, from 17.1 to 17.7. We continue to do the things which are effectively controllable in terms of maximizing our primary and secondary major secondary units, by continuing to focus on crude sourcing, by maximizing fuel sales domestically, also by, you know, in terms of optimizing PX versus gasoline there, and also given the quarter-on-quarter improvement in DELTAs, you saw we maximized production in petrochemical site, and we continue to sweat the gasifier complex to full capacity. Overall, when you look at the business environment, this is here, global oil demand expected to normalize this year at about a million barrels per day. As you know, it was pretty strong last year at about 2.1. Overall, when you see in the more in the near term to medium term, There are factors at play. Driving season demand normally results in increase in demand for gasoline. International aviation expectation of further recovery there. Also, there are possibilities of active hurricane season. People are talking about it looking forward. with high probability, so as you know, almost a million barrels per day of capacity, you know, gets affected when there is a hurricane there. Then if there is a ban on Russian gasoline exports, given their shortfall, then that could also have an impact in terms of, you know, the deltas for gasoline. Overall, downstream, as I mentioned, yes, you are seeing gradual improvement with demand recovering and also, importantly, the slowing pace of new supply. And the fact that India demand both for fuels and downstream is expected to remain fairly resilient. So that should aid in terms of margin improvement. Overall, from a challenges point of view, clearly it is all about geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, in Russia, Ukraine, the disruptions in the Red Sea, the impact on freight. So all these have kept the markets volatile. And also in the short term, increasing supply with whatever balance capacities that come in, as well as the fact that some of the refiners will come back from, from post-maintenance. But it's also, when you see the last two years, the almost 2.5 million barrels of refining capacity that got added, it's been a very, very long time since so much of capacity has come in. And going forward, it is not very obvious that, you know, there will be surges in this kind of capacity increase, so we'll have to wait and watch there. Overall, that is really some of the thought process while saying that structurally refining looks strong. Just to summarize, it has been a strong operating quarter, you know, consumer businesses and upstream fully negating the impact of a weak O2C. Overall, as I was highlighting, fuel markets, you know, likely to remain supported by seasonal drivers, demand drivers for gasoline, for ATF demand, also because of weather and geopolitical destruction. So these things have an impact on the overall price and deltas. The fact that there is strong demand in India helps. And also the fact that, you know, thanks to a fairly integrated O2C operation, you know, we can leverage that kind of integration there. On the consumer side, we are strengthening our market leadership in a structurally long-term growth business. Dinesh talked about the whole focus on tech platform, on supply chain, on distribution. This is all this to both sustain growth momentum in both near and medium term. On geo side, clearly the benefits on the traction that we are seeing in home and enterprises and the fact that the impact of revised tariff will start getting reflected in the coming quarters. And finally, the balance sheet remains stronger. As you saw, net debt was lower than what it was in the previous quarter. With this, you know, I've come to the end of my presentation. Thank you so much for being here.
