Alongside the results, GAIL’s board approved the proposed initial public offering of GAIL Gas. The decision places the IPO among the key corporate developments announced with the quarterly results.
Profit and revenue both move higher
The profit increase is the central feature of GAIL’s second-quarter update. At Rs 4,720 crore, earnings were significantly higher than in the corresponding period a year earlier. Revenue growth of 33% adds to the strength of the results and indicates that the company recorded gains on both measures highlighted in the announcement.
