MUMBAI (Reuters) - Shares in Reliance Industries rose as much as 3.2 percent on Tuesday after its July-September operating profit beat some analysts' estimates due to better-than-expected margins in its petrochemical business.
Reliance Industries said late on Monday operating profit in the previous quarter rose by 11 percent on a sequential basis to 78.49 billion rupees.
Reliance, which operates the world's biggest oil refining complex in western India, met analysts estimates with a 1.5 percent rise in net profit to 54.9 billion rupees.
