LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

HISTORY                                                                                                                         

The Company belongs to Reliance Group. The company was incorporated with Registrar of Companies, Gujarat on 1-03-1994 as Reliance Telecom private Limited at Sr. 04-21442. the Companies was promoted mainly for providing basic and Cellular Telephony services. Later become Reliance Telecom limited on 25-11-1997. The company has Cellular liances to operate in 7 circles covering 15 states. As per the scheme of demerger approved by Hon. Gujarat High Court, basic Telephone services of Reliance Telecom limited was demerged and transferred to Reliance zinfocomm Limited from 6-03-2003.

 

RTL which began its operations in 1997-98, provides GSM services in 7 telecom circles covering 206 towns in 11 states in India

 

RIL and its subsidiaries hold 35.6 % of RTL after the 10 % holding of Nynex international Limited was acquired in April 2004. Despite stiff competitions Subscriber base grew by 32.500 Millions to reach 1.120 millions reflecting 41 % growth. RTL is increasing its capacity to cater to increased traffic as a result of increase in usage and subscriber base.

 

The department of Telecom, Government of India had earlier directed that prepaid services should be discontinued in the state of Assam and the North East. In compliance, RTL had completed subscribers plan migration to postpaid service.

 

Recently RTL has launch GSM operation in Kolkatta it has been able to fill up the gap in Estern corridor.

Financial Review


Operating profit, before other income, was Rs. 7,2780 millions (US$ 1,653 million), against Rs. 5,9750 millions for the corresponding previous period, an increase of 22%


The company's net operating margin was lower during the period at 18.9% mainly due to significant increase in price of crude oil during the half-year, which was not fully absorbed in domestic price of petroleum products.


Other income decreased to Rs. 4160 millions (US$ 94 million), from Rs. 6430 millions on account of the company exercising its option to convert the Preference shares of Reliance Infocomm Limited with effect from 1st April 2005. This was partially offset by higher interest income from current investments and fixed deposits.

Interest expenditure decreased 49% to Rs. 4580 millions (US$ 104 million) due to appreciation of the rupee and reduction in debt.


Depreciation was at Rs. 1,5950 millions (US$ 362 million) as against Rs. 1,8300 millions for the corresponding previous period. The decrease is on account of assets sold during 2004-05 and impact of WDV depreciation on petrochemical assets


The outflow on account of capital expenditure was over Rs. 4,2000 millions (US$ 954 million), primarily on account of oil and gas, petrochemical capacity expansions and normal capital expenditure.


Business Review


Oil & Gas (E&P)


RIL's oil and gas strategy is aimed at further enhancing the level of vertical integration in its energy business, and capturing value across the entire energy chain, while fulfilling important national priorities.


RIL is the largest exploration acreage holder among the Private sector companies in India with 34 domestic exploration blocks covering an area of about 340,000 sqkm. This is in addition to its interest in one exploration block each in Yemen and Oman. Reliance also has 5 coal bed methane blocks covering an area of about 4000 sq. km.


12 exploration blocks were awarded under the 1st round of the New Exploration Licensing Policy (NELP-I) of Government of India, 4 blocks in NELP II, 9 blocks in NELP III and 1 block in NELP IV. Reliance has been awarded 5 more exploration blocks under the just concluded NELP V. The Production Sharing Contract has been signed and application for exploration license has been submitted.


The Company and various partners, including ONGC Ltd. and Oil India Ltd., were awarded two exploration blocks prior to NELP. The Company has also acquired the operating rights of four exploration blocks from Tullow Oil plc, a UK Company.


Three blocks out of the above-awarded blocks have been relinquished as the expected deposits were found to be sub-economic.


In the Yemen onshore block where Reliance had oil discoveries, the development plan has been approved by Ministry of Yemen. Further exploration activity is also under progress and results are quite encouraging.

In the Oman offshore block, where RIL is the Operator, the existing seismic data has been collected and contract for reprocessing of data is being finalized.


During the quarter, processing and interpretation of acquired data have been taken up in an accelerated manner.

Building on the giant Dhirubhai gas discovery, Reliance continued with the exploratory drilling campaign in the discovery block KG-DWN-98/3 in the Krishna Godavari Basin. First Development well was spud and drilling operations are in progress. Detailed evaluation drilled wells are in progress.


The contract for development is slated to be awarded in calendar Q1-06.


The exploration in the CBM block of RIL is also progressing as per plan.


Reliance has deployed state-of-the-art technology, and is working with leading international technology and service providers for the E&P project, covering all activities, such as seismic studies, processing and interpretation of data and drilling.


RIL also holds a 30% interest in an unincorporated Joint Venture with British Gas and ONGC, to develop the proven Panna-Mukta and Tapti oil & gas fields. British Gas has a 30% share and ONGC the balance 40% share.


The Panna-Mukta fields produced 725,340 tonnes of crude oil and 22.32 billion cubic feet (632 MMSCM) of gas during the half year under report.


The Tapti field produced 40.46 billion cubic feet of gas (1,145 MMSCM) during the half year under report.


Refining & Marketing (R&M)


During the period under report, the domestic demand for petroleum products reduced by 0.6% compared to first half of last year. This is against 5.5% growth last year compared to the corresponding previous period.

The consumption of HSD, which accounts for more than a third of the total consumption of petroleum products, registered a negative growth of 0.6%, against a growth of 8.8% during the corresponding previous period. LPG demand showed significantly lower growth of 0.8% against 13.8% growth during the corresponding previous period. Demand for MS grew by 4.3%. The demand of Aviation turbine fuel grew by 14.7% during the half year. Naphtha sales fell by 11.2% and Kerosene sales increased slightly by 0.8%.


The average prices of WTI, Brent and Dubai for the half year period were $ 58.1 per barrel, $ 56.7 per barrel and $ 51.7 per barrel respectively while the peak prices were $ 69.9 per barrel, $ 67.3 and $ 59.2 per barrel respectively.


The global refining industry in general and the US refining industry in particular was dramatically influenced by the two hurricanes, Katrina and Rita that hit US Gulf coast on 29th August & 24th September respectively. US Gulf coast is the major hub for US refining with total capacity of about 4.7 mn b/d or 27.5% of US capacity. Almost all of this closed during 2 hurricanes. Reportedly as of end Sep '05 3.1 mn b/d capacity still remains closed.


International Energy Agency revised down its global oil demand growth forecast for 2005 to 1.26 million b/d, due to regional economic and logistical disruptions as well as retail price spikes in US due to Katrina and Rita and weaker outlook for China but has maintained a demand growth forecast of 1.75 million b/d for 2006.


The refinery margins were robust in all the regions as product price increases were higher than the concomitant rise in crude oil prices.


During the period under review, Reliance recorded 96% capacity utilisation at its Jamnagar Refinery. The refinery processed 15.87 million tons of crude during the half year.


This capacity utilisation compares favourably with the utilisation rates for other refineries, both in India and abroad, at 91% for North America, 87% for Europe, and 89% for Asia Pacific region.


Exports of refining products during the period under review were 5.2 million tons, compared to 4.8 million tons in the corresponding period last year.


The implementation of setting up of Retail Outlets at various locations is in full swing. Reliance already has the necessary approvals for setting up 5,849 retail outlets in India.


As on date, over 850 outlets are operational. The response from these retail outlets is encouraging as the throughput per outlet is higher than the industry norms. By the end of March 2006, Reliance will have significant presence in the retailing of transportation fuels. Reliance will continue to set new standards for services and product quality through its retail outlets. This will help improve margins, overall return on capital and consequently, shareholder value.
