MUMBAI (Reuters) - Reliance Industries Ltd reported on Friday a better-than-expected 12.5 percent rise in its fiscal second-quarter profit, helped by stronger margins in its core refining business.
Consolidated net profit rose to 67.2 billion rupees ($1.04 billion) for the three months to Sept. 30 from 59.72 billion rupees a year earlier, Reliance, controlled by India's richest man Mukesh Ambani, said in a statement.
Analysts on average had expected a net profit of 59.47 billion rupees, according to Thomson Reuters data.
