Revenue from operations rose 26.2% sequentially to Rs 2.62 lakh crore, comfortably beating analysts' estimate of Rs 2.36 lakh crore. Revenue stood at Rs 2.08 lakh crore in the March quarter.
IOC reported an Ebitda of Rs 1,947 crore during the quarter, significantly outperforming expectations of an Ebitda loss of Rs 14,473 crore. However, operating profit declined sharply from Rs 20,716 crore reported in the previous quarter.
