据路透社报道，印度大型联合企业信实工业在其石油化工和炼油业务增长的推动下，公布了创纪录的季度利润，而其电信集团Jio连续第五个季度实现盈利。

电信业务是亚洲首富穆凯什安巴尼的核心目标，他希望让信实的消费业务与其能源业务一样庞大，而能源业务贡献了集团的大部分收入和利润。

在过去的两年里，Jio利用低价数据和免费语音通话，一举拿下了超过2.5亿的用户，使竞争对手蒙受了损失。

Jio公布利润增长了近65%，达到83.1亿卢比（合1.17亿美元）。

该集团的炼油和石油化工部门贡献了约四分之三的总收入和利润，其收入分别增长了47%和37%。

在独立的基础上（主要包括炼油和石油化工），信实第三季度利润增长5.6%，至892.8亿卢比。

该季度，原油加工毛利率（GRM）为每桶8.8美元，较基准的新加坡综合原油毛利率高出每桶4.5美元。

第三季度，基准的GRMs指数已跌至多年来的低点，跌至每桶2美元以下，全球所有炼油公司都受到打击。

位于古吉拉特邦西部的信实炼油厂是世界上最大的单一地点炼油厂，每天可加工136万桶原油。

Refinitiv Eikon的数据显示，去年10月至12月的综合净利润升至1025亿卢比（合14.4亿美元），超过分析师估计的964.8亿卢比。

信实工业综合收益增长了56.4%，达到1.6万亿卢比。

India's Reliance posts record quarterly profit on petchem, refining boost

Indian conglomerate Reliance Industries posted a record quarterly profit, driven by growth in its petrochemicals and refining business, while its telecoms group Jio notched up a fifth consecutive profitable quarter.

The telecoms business is central to the ambition of Chairman Mukesh Ambani - Asia’s richest man - to make Reliance’s consumer businesses as big as its energy operations, which contribute the bulk of group revenue and profit.

In the last two years, Jio has used cut-price data and free voice calls to cornered over 250 million subscribers, leaving rivals nursing losses.

Jio posted a nearly 65 percent jump in profit to 8.31 billion rupees ($117 million).

In the conglomerate’s refining and petrochemicals unit, which contribute around three-quarters of overall revenue and profits, revenue rose 47 percent and 37 percent respectively.

On a standalone basis, which includes primarily refining and petrochemicals, Reliance’s third-quarter profit rose 5.6 percent to 89.28 billion rupees.

Gross refining margin (GRM)- the profit earned on each barrel of crude processed - was $8.8 per barrel for the quarter, outperforming the benchmark Singapore complex margin by $4.5 per barrel.

he benchmark GRMs have come down to multi-year lows in the third quarter to below $2 per barrel, hitting all refining companies globally.

Reliance’s refinery in the western state of Gujarat is the world’s biggest single-location refinery, with a capacity to process 1.36 million barrels per day of crude.

Net profit on a consolidated basis rose to 102.5 billion rupees ($1.44 billion) for October-December, beating analyst average estimate of 96.48 billion rupees, Refinitiv Eikon data showed.
