RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The global economy in the Financial Year (FY) 2012-13 improved slowly, but was short on expectations. Several

European economies experienced recession due to high unemployment, banking fragility, fiscal tightening and sluggish growth. The U.S. economy improved marginally, driven mainly by housing and the consumer sectors; however, capital investments remained sluggish. Among the Asian economies, China going through a political transition, experienced considerably slow growth. Deceleration in industrial output and exports weakened India’s economic growth significantly.

 

FY 2012-13 proved to be a challenging year amidst global economic uncertainties and disturbances in many parts of the world. Despite these constraints and challenging environment, the Company performed reasonably well and the highlights of the performance are as under:

 

·         Revenue from operations increased by 9.2% to Rs. 3711190.000 Millions ($68.4 billion)

 

·         Exports increased by 15% to Rs. 2392260.000  Millions ($ 44.1 billion)

 

·         PBDIT decreased by 2.6% at Rs. 387850.000  Millions ($ 7.1 billion)

 

·         Profit Before Tax increased by 2.1% at Rs. 262840.000  Millions ($ 4.8 billion)

 

·         Cash Profit was at Rs. 305050.000  Millions ($ 5.6 billion)

 

·         Net Profit increased by 4.8% to Rs. 210030.000  Millions ($3.9 billion)

 

·         Gross Refining Margin was $ 9.2 / bbl for the year ended March 31, 2013

 

 

The Company is one of India’s largest contributors to the national exchequer primarily by way of payment of taxes and duties to various government agencies. During the year, a total of Rs. 289500.000 Millions ($ 5.3 billion) was paid in the form of various taxes and duties.

 

The Company featured in the Fortune Global 500 list of the world’s largest corporations for the eighth consecutive year. The company was ranked 99th based on sales and 130th based on profits.

 

 

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

OVERVIEW

 

The global economy in FY 2012-13 improved slowly and did not recover to the extent anticipated in the beginning of the year. Several European economies experienced recession due to high unemployment, banking fragility, fiscal tightening and sluggish growth. The U.S. economy improved marginally, driven mainly by housing and the consumer sectors; however, capital investments remained sluggish. Among the Asian economies, China, going through a political transition, experienced considerably slower growth. Deceleration in industrial output and exports weakened India’s economic growth significantly. The weak macro environment and slower growth caused the margin environment to remain volatile with downward bias.

 

Oil demand increased by 0.9 MMBPD in 2012. Eurozone’s recession and emerging markets slowdown weakened global economy, which in turn, impacted demand growth. Increased production, particularly in North America and Iraq, helped meet this demand, partly offset by decreasing supply from some Middle Eastern countries, especially Iran and Syria. The average Brent crude oil price increased marginally in 2012 to reach $111.6 per barrel.

 

Reliance Industries Ltd. (RIL) demonstrated its ability to perform in this challenging environment and enhanced its revenues by 9.2% to Rs. 3711190.000 Millions and profits by 4.8% to Rs. 210030.000 Millions. RIL achieved record exports (15% higher) at Rs. 2392260.000 Millions, as against Rs. 2080420.000 Millions in FY 2011-12. RIL’s consolidated revenue from operations for the year ended March 31, 2013 was Rs. 3970620.000 Millions, an increase of 10.8% on a year on year (Y-o-Y) basis.

 

RIL’s KG-D6 facility, completing four years of operations, produced 3.31 million barrels (MMBL) of crude oil and condensate and 336 billion cubic feet (BCF) of natural gas. In the downstream segments, RIL maintained operating rates over 100% in the refining and petrochemicals businesses. The Company processed a record 68.5 million tonnes (MMT) of crude at its Jamnagar refinery complex. RIL’s performance can be attributed to its strong integrated business model, wide product portfolio and increasing demand for its products. RIL’s facilities continued to deliver operating excellence and this is a true testimony of the quality of its manufacturing assets and human talent. RIL was featured in the Fortune Global 500 list of the world’s largest corporations for the eighth consecutive year. It was ranked 99th based on sales and 130th based on profits.

 

RIL-BP Partnership

 

In its second year of the partnership, RIL and BP combined their expertise in deepwater exploration and development and operations in India. Both the teams worked closely to understand the complex geology of the east-coast of India including KG-D6 block. The efforts are on, to map out an exploration and development campaign that will efficiently target high quality prospects in deeper zones and optimize existing as well as future development plans.

 

The Company is creating a projects pipeline for the next wave of oil and gas development, which includes satellite discoveries in KG-D6 block. Under the block’s enhancement plan, the Company aims to invest in a series of projects to develop around 4 trillion cubic feet (TCF) of discovered natural gas resources over the next 3-5 years. These project implementations in the KG-D6 enhancement plan are subject to the timely regulatory and Government approvals. At current international Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) prices, it would cost over $ 50 billion to import this gas volume into India. Gas from these projects will deliver energy to millions of Indians and would significantly help India reduce import dependence.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

 

RIL delivered superior financial performance with improvements across key parameters. RIL achieved a Revenue from operations for the year ended 31st March 2013 of Rs. 371,119 Millions ($ 68.4 billion), an increase of 9.2% on a Y-o-Y basis. The Refining business revenues increased by 11.6%, Petrochemicals by 9.3% while Oil and Gas revenues decreased by 35.2% on account of lower production. Higher prices accounted for 11.0% growth in revenue which was partly offset by the decrease in volumes by 1.8%. Exports were higher by 15.0% at Rs. 2392260.000 Millions ($ 44.1 billion) as against Rs. 2080420.000 Millions in FY 2011-12.

 

Higher crude oil prices increased raw materials consumption by 11.4% to Rs. 3061270.000 Millions ($ 56.4 billion) on a Y-o-Y basis.

 

Employee costs were at Rs. 33540.000 Millions ($ 618 million) for the year as against Rs. 28620.000 Millions in the previous year. Other expenditure increased by 26.6% from Rs. 180400.000 Millions to Rs. 228440.000 Millions ($ 4.2 billion) primarily due to higher expenses on account of power and fuel, selling and distribution, sales tax, professional fees and repairs.

 

Operating profit before other income and depreciation decreased by 8.4% from Rs. 336190.000 Millions to Rs. 307870.000 Millions ($ 5.7 billion) due to reduction in oil and gas and petrochemicals earnings, partially offset by higher operating profit from refining. Net operating margin was lower at 8.5% as compared to 10.2% on a Y-o-Y basis due to lower production of oil and gas and weaker petrochemicals business margins.

 

Other income was higher at Rs. 79980.000 Millions ($ 1.5 billion) as against Rs. 61920.000 Millions primarily due to an increase in cash flows from operations that were deployed in bank deposits, mutual funds and Government securities / bonds.

 

Depreciation (including depletion and amortisation) was lower by 16.9% at Rs. 94650.000 Millions ($ 1.7 billion) against Rs. 113940.000 Millions in FY 2011-12. This was primarily due to lower production of oil and gas.

 

Interest cost was higher at Rs. 30360.000 Millions ($ 559 million) as against Rs. 26670.000 Millions in FY 2011-12 principally due to higher foreign currency borrowings and depreciation of the Indian rupee. This resulted in gross interest cost being higher at Rs. 34210.000 Millions ($ 630 million) as against Rs. 30970.000 Millions in FY 2011-12. Interest capitalised was lower at Rs. 3850.000 Millions ($ 71 million) as against Rs. 4300.000 Millions.

BUSINESS PERFORMANCE

 

OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION

 

BUSINESS

 

Business Environment - Global

 

In 2012, crude oil prices averaged $ 111.6/bbl, while Asian LNG prices averaged $ 15.1/MMBTU. Oil prices remained high as 2012 demand increased by 0.9 MMBPD while non OPEC supply increased only by 0.60 MMBPD which increased the call on OPEC in 2012.

 

In the year 2013, the incremental oil demand may only be 0.8 MMBPD as per the IEA Oil Market Report dated March 2013 taking the cumulative demand to 90.6 MMBPD for 2013. However, incremental non-OPEC supply would be 1.1 MMBPD due to rise in production from North American shale oil, Iraq and Canadian oil sands, offsetting declines elsewhere in the non-OPEC regions.

 

Upstream oil and gas investment for 2012 was estimated at about $ 620 billion - higher by 8% than in 2011 and 20% than in 2008 (Source: EIA’s World Energy Outlook 2012). The increased spending reflects a combination of improved returns, spurred by higher oil prices and rising costs of current and planned projects. Despite signs of declining cost inflation with easing global commodity prices, deep and ultra-deep-water rig rates stayed high, even exceeding $ 650,000/day and the subsea market remained tight.

 

Global LNG prices remained buoyant due to increasing demand in LNG mainly in Japan, China, India and South America contributing to the market tightness. Supply was constrained by maintenance and unscheduled interruptions on existing liquefaction plants, as well as lower-than-expected capacity additions, with only onenew train Pluto in Australia coming into service.

 

US gas prices rallied to over $ 4/MMBTU in recent months. The strength in the current rally may be sustained, as the US considers policy moves allowing LNG exports, coal-fired power plants shutdown due to proposed environmental regulations and the planned conversion of the truck and rail engine fleets into CNG.

 

 

RIL: Portfolio Overview

 

Through continuous assessment of its portfolio in terms of prospectivity and risk profile, RIL rationalises its portfolio focusing on monetising and maximising value. RIL’s upstream business has been restructured into different sectors i.e., Conventional, CBM and Shale Gas. In this way the risks and dynamics of each sector are clearly understood and distinctly managed to maximise value and growth.

 

 

Coal Bed Methane (CBM):

 

RIL currently holds two CBM blocks (Sohagpur East and Sohagpur West) in India which are in an early stage of development.

 

North America Shale Gas:

 

RIL has three JVs, with Pioneer Natural Resources, Carrizo Oil and Gas and Chevron. Apart from this, the Company has a successful midstream joint venture (JV) with Pioneer Natural Resources that caters primarily to the gathering and transportation needs of Pioneer upstream JV.

 

Pioneer JV Highlights

 

Pioneer Upstream JV operated with 10 rigs, drilled 133 wells and put 135 wells on production during the year. Producing well count jumped from 111 in December 2011 to 246 by December 2012, thus enabling strong growth in production volumes. Reliance’s share of production (gross) at 11.83 MMBOE reflected a growth of 137% over 2011 levels. Share of liquids remained high at 62% in 2012.

 

Proved reserves more than doubled from 527 BCFe in 2011 to 1.08 TCFe in 2012. With regular pad drilling, closer spacing is getting established and more Proved Undeveloped (PUD) reserves are added. It is anticipated that Proved Developed Producing (PDP) reserve would increase further, as active pursuit of choke management is arresting declines and maintaining higher yields.

 

Reliance has now developed a good understanding of heterogeneity of the play with sweet spots and marginal areas, which has helped in high-grading of development activities. Remarkable improvement in drilling efficiencies and completion costs helped the JV to more than offset the impact of industry service cost inflation. Increased use of pad drilling, zipper fraccing and use of sand as proppant as well as benefits of other ongoing initiatives should help reduce unit FandD costs in the future.

 

Carrizo JV Highlights

 

Despite a slow start, Carrizo JV attainted significant growth momentum in 2012. JV drilled 37 wells and put 30 on production during the year. Producing a well count of 38 reflects a growth of 375% Y-o-Y. Net proved reserves more than tripled to 234 BCFe in 2012. Exit rate of production at 106 MMCFD in December 2012, compares impressively with 18 MMCFD achieved in December 2011.

 

JV is pursuing paced development in view of the challenging pricing environment, but remains focused on expedited development of North Eastern Pennsylvania (NEPA) acreages. NEPA acreages are in the sweet spot of the Marcellus play and the performance of NEPA wells has been encouraging, with a much lesser decline thus offer superior economics. JV made significant progress in its appraisal efforts for the C-counties (85% of JV acreages). Results of the appraisal activity are being studied. In the interim, JV would pursue cost-effective lease renewal strategy towards retaining optionality on the acreages.

 

Chevron JV Highlights

 

Chevron JV gained development momentum during the second half, though suffered initially on account of continued delay in the availability of midstream infrastructure during the first half of the year. Midstream availability improved considerably during second half of the year.

 

JV drilled 85 wells and put 63 on production during the year. Cumulatively the number of producing wells was impressive at 101 in December 2012, reflecting a growth of 166% Y-o-Y. Exit rate of production at 185 MMCFD in December 2012, reflects a growth of 143% over 76 MMCFD achieved in December 2011. Net proved reserves nearly tripled to 542 BCF in 2012. Well performance has varied and reflected heterogeneity and geological complexity of the acreage.

 

Cost reduction efforts yielded limited success. JV realized some cost savings in procurement and rig mob/demob operations, but their impact were masked by higher well pad construction costs in the difficult terrains. Focus in the areas of pad optimisation, facility standardisation, central water impoundment and supply chain management are expected to yield lower costs in the coming year. Enhanced focus on development optimisation, drilling efficiency improvement, water management, adoption of zipper frac and other completion cost reduction initiatives are expected to yield desired reduction in well costs over the next three years.

 

JV is pursuing paced development in view of the challenging pricing environment and remains focused on 6.0 BCF dry gas areas while retaining optionality on acreages through low cost lease renewals and their expedited development with any improvement in market conditions.

 

RIL E and P Outlook

 

By the end of 2012, fields in the KG-D6 block had produced 2 TCF of gas and 22 million barrels of oil, creating unprecedented value for the Nation through nearly $ 35 billion in energy import savings. In partnership with BP, RIL plans to become a major player across the gas value chain in India. The JV has made significant progress towards finding new resources through exploration by identifying new prospects in its deepwater acreages in the East Coast. Further, the JV through extensive efforts is poised to unlock value from its existing discovered resource base by advancing its planning for the next wave of projects in KG-D6 and NEC-25.

 

RIL’s CBM block continues to make steady progress towards developing the Sohagpur East and West blocks to produce first gas by FY 2014-15.

 

Reliance expects to see continued growth momentum in the shale business during FY 2013-14. Natural gas prices have improved in recent weeks, crossing the $ 4/MMBTU. While oil price outlook is stable, NGL prices remain under pressure on continued supply side pressures. Well costs remain stable as benefits of ongoing cost and efficiency improvements are partly offset by inflation in service costs.

 

Reliance remains focused on liquid-rich development activities at the Eagle Ford JV and paced development in its Marcellus JVs. Optimising HBP (Held by Production) efforts and pursuing cost effective lease renewal for retaining optionality on resources is the common theme across JVs. In future, the Company will continue to focus on efficiency improvement and cost reduction, optimizing netback through enriched product and customer mix, as well as high grading of development to ensure superior return on incremental capital spending.

 

To complement the existing asset base, RIL continues to look at new opportunities globally that are a strategic fit with capabilities and integrated petroleum value chain. In the upstream business, RIL aspires to:

 

·         Become a global top 10 independent hydrocarbon producer through significant and sustainable value creation

·         Be India’s top player across the gas value chain

·         Responsible operations from an environment and people perspective

 

·         Have best in class people, processes and technology

·         Be recognised as a “Partner of Choice” for its stakeholders

 

The chief enablers for the business model to achieve the above aspiration would be:

·         To grow profitably, organically or inorganically, while strengthening its Indian and international positions

·         Continued integrated presence across upstream, midstream infrastructure and downstream

·         Implementing Centres of Excellence and partnership models to bring and help adopt best processes, technologies and people globally

 

 

RIL Performance

 

Overall, RIL’s refining business had a record financial performance for FY 2012-13 with Gross Refining Margin (GRM) averaging $ 9.2/ bbl, as against $ 8.6/ bbl in FY 2011-12. Though the refining margins remained weak in the first half, margins strengthened in the second half with weakness in fuel oil cracks widening the light heavy differentials and supporting complex refining margins. The margins were also supported by unplanned refinery outages in the second half of the year.

 

RIL’s refineries continue to outperform their global peers, given their competitive strength to process challenged feedstock and produce clean fuels, at low operating costs.

 

Total exports of refined products from both refineries reached $ 39.3 billion during the year, as compared to $ 36.0 billion in the previous year. Exports of refined products were 41.2 MMT as compared to 39.6 MMT during the same period last year.

 

 

Global PET Scenario

 

The US and European discretionary spending reduction and poor weather conditions, impacted PET bottles demand.

 

Prices in FY 2012-13 declined 11% to $ 1450/MT. Further delta declined 25% to $ 167/MT due to bearish sentiments and the rapid capacity build-up. During the year, global PET capacity grew 9% to 22 MMT, with production rising by only 6% to 18 MMT. China alone accounted for 46% of the capacity growth. The large capacity build up in China forced many producers to reduce operating rates and cut down inventory in the second half of the year.

 

Global Cotton Scenario

 

Global cotton production in the 2012-2013 cotton year surpassed consumption, leading to closing stocks reaching historical high. Record Chinese strategic cotton reserve procurement helped stabilise both Chinese and global

cotton prices. Moreover, procurement prices, fixed by China Reserve, were substantially higher than the international rates, putting pressure on the competitiveness of the Chinese spinners.

 

By the end of the 2012-13 cotton season, China is estimated to have about 10 MMT closing stock which translates to over 50% of the global stocks and almost a year’s Chinese domestic consumption.

 

 

Outlook

 

Global textile fibre industry is expected to grow 24 MMT by 2020 to 105 MMT. Of this polyester will account for over 68% of global demand growth. India is poised to strengthen its global foothold with polyester production share rising to 10% of global volume from the current 8%.

 

The global PET industry is likely to witness capacity growth of 10 MMT by 2015 to about 32 MMT. With supplies likely to remain above incremental demand, utilisation rates are expected to remain under pressure in the medium term.

 

For feedstock, tight PX market conditions are likely to continue till 2014 until planned capacity additions are executed. The year 2015 would witness PX capacity growth of 12 MMT over 2012. Operating rates are expected to be maintained above 80%. PTA markets will continue to witness oversupply, with excess capacities likely to make China self-sufficient in the next two years.

 

China is likely to emerge as a major influence in the global MEG markets by 2015 with 85% of global MEG expansions. Any issue in the operational success of MEG manufactured from the planned coal-based DMO process, would lead to product shortage and impact prices.

 

India’s all fibre textile mill consumption is likely to grow at a 5.2% CAGR between 2012 and 2020 to 12.3 MMT.

 

The CAGR growth for the demands for PFY and PSF are expected to be 8.6% and 5.4%, respectively. Polyester is likely to account for a major 60% of incremental domestic fibre demand between 2012 and 2020.

 

As per Technopak projections, India’s total textile and apparel market size (domestic and export), estimated at $ 89 billion in 2011, is projected to grow at a 9% CAGR to reach $ 223 billion by 2021.

 

The domestic textile and apparel market size was $ 58 billion in 2011 and is projected to grow to $ 141 billion by 2021. The key growth segments are technical textiles which is likely to see a 10% CAGR, followed by 9% in apparels and 8% in home textiles.

 

 

Future Outlook

 

The Indian retail sector is expected to continue its growth trajectory. Organised retailing is expected to grow at a faster rate thereby garnering a larger share of the market from the current 8% to around 20% by 2020 due to the changing consumer preferences and other growth drivers of organised retail in the country.

 

Retail business is in a unique position to capitalise on the growing opportunity in India. It is undertaking expansion of all existing formats to strengthen its leadership position vis-à-vis competition. This can be achieved by growing in existing markets and entering newer markets with the intention of ‘Bettering the Lives of Indians Everyday’.

 

Digital Sector would be one of the growth verticals for the coming year. Reliance Digital stores and Digital Express stores would be rolled out in Tier-I and Tier-II cities and would bring the connected world experience to consumers. The focus would be to further strengthen ResQ, the service arm of the Digital format. ResQ brings in strong service orientation towards meeting the requirements of the customers during the entire product lifecycle.

 

Retail business seeks to add alternative channels to reach out to customers and has been intensely working on creating a multi-channel model that would benefit customers by offering them convenience of shopping anywhere, anytime and at the best available value proposition.

 

All formats would be working relentlessly to further their leadership positions in respective sectors making them the favourite shopping destination for Indian customers.

RIL, BP AND NIKO ANNOUNCE A SIGNIFICANT GAS CONDENSATE DISCOVERY IN DEEPWATER KG D6 BLOCK, OFFSHORE INDIA

 

May 24, 2013

 

Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) and its partners BP and NIKO today announced a significant gas and condensate discovery in the KG D6 block off the eastern coast of

India.

 

The KGD6-MJ1 well was drilled in a water depth of 1,024 metres - and to a total depth of 4,509 metres - to explore the prospectivity of a Mesozoic Synrift Clastic reservoir lying over 2,000 metres below the already producing reservoirs in the D1- D3 gas fields.

 

Formation evaluation indicates a gross gas and condensate column in the well of about 155 metres in the Mesozoic reservoirs. In the drill stem test, the well flowed 30.6 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscf/d) and liquid rate of 2,121 barrels a day with a choke of 36/64" with a flowing bottom hole pressure of 8,461 psia suggesting good flow potential. Well flow rates during such tests are limited by the rig and well test equipment configuration.

 

The discovery, named ‘D-55’, has been notified to the Government of India (GoI) and the Management Committee of the block. This discovery is expected to add to the hydrocarbon resources in the KG D6 block. Appraisal will now commence to better define the scale and quality of the field.

 

Expressing happiness at the discovery encountered through this well, PMS Prasad, Executive Director, Reliance Industries Limited, stated: “This is a successful outcome of the combined exploration efforts of the Joint Venture partners with the active support of the GoI. We shall embark on the appraisal program in the next few months in order to evaluate the options for developing this discovery.”

 

Dr Mike Daly, Executive Vice President Exploration at BP, commented: “The discovery demonstrates the effective technical co-operation between the partners, allowing us to make a new and significant discovery within KG D6. It follows an 18 month drilling time-out and detailed geoscience work that has re-focused our India exploration program and delivered this early success.”

 

Mr. Edward Sampson, Chairman, President and CEO of Niko Resources Limited stated: ”We congratulate our partners and the Government of India as co-operation in an event like this shows what good can be created for the energy sector and most importantly, for the people of India.”

 

RIL is the operator of KG D6 with 60% equity. BP has a 30% share and NIKO the remaining 10%.

 

 

MUKESH AMBANI'S RGTIL WINS LICENCE FOR SHAHDOL-PHULPUR LINE

 

Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) on July 11 authorised the Mukesh Ambani-led RGTIL to lay the pipeline from Shahdol in Madhya Pradesh to Phulpur near Allahabad in Uttar Pradesh.

 

Reliance Gas Pipeline Limited (RGPL), a subsidiary of Reliance Industries , has won a licence to lay a 312-km pipeline to transport coal gas produced from RIL 's Sohagpur block in Madhya Pradesh. Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) on July 11 authorised the Mukesh Ambani-led RGPL to lay the pipeline from Shahdol in Madhya Pradesh to Phulpur near Allahabad in Uttar Pradesh.

 

 

The pipeline will have a capacity to transport 4.3 million standard cubic metres per day of gas including 0.875 mmscmd capacity which will be available for any third party for open access on non-discriminatory basis. PNGRB in the authorisation order said the pipeline will travel from Shahdol to JaysingNagar to Beohari to Gurh and finally culminate at Phulpur.

 

At Phulpur, the pipeline may be hooked into state-owned gas utility GAIL India Limited’s main Hazira-Vijaypur-Jagdishpur trunk gas pipeline. Connection with HVJ would enable gas to flow to any consumer. RIL plans to produce 3.5 mmscmd of gas from its Sohagpur (east) and Sohagpur (west) coal-bed methane (CBM) blocks in Shahdol, Madhya Pradesh from 2015.

 

"The entity is allowed a maximum period of 36 months from the date of issue of authorisation letter for commissioning of the natural gas pipeline project," PNGRB said in the July 11 authorisation letter."Any failure on the part of the entity in complying with the targets prescribed in the time schedule shall lead to consequences" including cancellation of the authorisation, it said.

 

RGPL has furnished a performance bond of Rs 130.200 Millions as a guarantee for timely commissioning of the project. This is the first authorisation since Ambani's privately owned Reliance Gas Transportation Infrastructure Ltd (RGTIL) lost its permits for laying four natural gas pipelines, over inordinate delays in construction of the 2,175-km lines.

 

Orders cancelling authorisation issued to RGTIL for laying of four pipelines from Kakinada in Andhra Pradesh to Howrah in West Bengal, Chennai and Tuticorin in Tamil Nadu and Mangalore in Karnataka were issued in October last year. PNGRB in the July 11 authorisation letter said RGPL shall be required to take prior approval from the Board for "creation of any lien or charge or hypothecation on the assets of the natural gas pipeline to secure finances for the project and furnish details of utilisation of funds."

 

 

RIL BUYS BACK SHARES WORTH RS. 38000.000 MILLIONS

 

December 31, 2012

 

Reliance Industries has bought back shares worth over Rs. 38000.000 Millions from public shareholders since the launch of its share repurchase programme in February -- achieving 37 per cent of the target with less than a month left for its completion.

 

 RIL's repurchase of shares is already the biggest buy-back by an Indian company, after Piramal Healthcare bought back shares to the tune of Rs. 25080.000 crore in 2011. RIL's buyback would end on January 19, 2013.

 

According to data available with the exchanges, Reliance Industries (RIL) which began a buyback programme of Rs. 104400.000 Millions early this year, has so far purchased shares worth Rs. 38550.000 Millions. This translates to about 37 per cent of the total targeted amount.

 

Between February 14 and December 24, RIL has purchased 4.62 crore shares from the secondary market at an average price of Rs. 834 apiece.

 

RIL's buyback programme had begun on a slow pace, but gained some momentum in May. The programme was announced with an aim to shore up the value of RIL shares, which have underperformed the markets last year and have been mostly trading on a sluggish note in the recent months as well.

 

The stock is currently trading near Rs. 840 level, which is much below the maximum price of Rs. 870 per share fixed for the buyback.

 

According to CNI Research Head Kishor Ostwal, the success of buyback offers depends on many factors like willingness to buy the proposed shares and premium sustainability.

 

"In fact, many corporate houses failed to utilise the entire corpus targeted for the purpose in past and many firms even discontinued buying activities despite shares being available well below maximum buyback price," he added.

 

"I do not think RIL would complete even 50 percent of the targeted amount and it would aggressively buyback shares in case the price falls drastically," Ostwal said.

 

Citigroup Global Markets, HSBC Securities and Capital Market and DSP Merrill Lynch are the managers for the offer.

RIL PLANS TO INVEST USD 10 BN ON ITS 4G NETWORK: VENDOR

 

December 20, 2012

 

Mukesh Ambani led Reliance Industries Limited has plans to invest USD 10 billion on 4G network of its subsidiary Infotel Broadband (IBSL), one of its vendors 'Spirit DSP' said today.

 

 

The company said it has been selected for providing voice call and video technology by IBSL. "Reliance intends to invest USD 10 billion in its LTE (4G) network and has turned to SPIRIT's software products for voice and video calls over LTE instead of waiting for phone makers who are slow in offering handsets transmitting voice and video in 4G networks," Spirit DSP said in a statement.

 

IBSL is the only company in the country to have 20 Mhz of pan-India airwaves that it can use for providing 4G services. No immediate comments were available from RIL on Spirit DSP's statement.

 

Spirit DSP said, through its solution, Reliance will be able to offer its subscribers high-quality services as an alternative to Skype - an application for making voice calls using internet connection, over cellular networks.

 

At present, most of the people are able to make free calls using Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) application like Skype but in India such calls are allowed only between personal computers to personal computers.

 

In October, IBSL has informed the Telecom Ministry that it is ready for trial runs of a technology that would enable voice calls service on its wireless broadband network and has sought allocation of number series to test its newly developed 'Voice over LTE (VoLTE) technology.

 

The telecom arm of RIL has told Ministry that it has developed a technology in preparation of a unified licensing regime recommended by the regulator TRAI under which consumers will be able to get voice, messaging and video using a single device.

 

Sharing details of its plan, IBSL has said that VoLTE technology would enable it to work seamlessly with the existing 2G, 3G, NLD and ILD networks. It added that termination and receiving of calls from these networks to the IBSL network would be possible through the VoLTE technology.
