We expect RIL ONG’s EBITDA to rise ~30% YoY (-8% QoQ) on increased production from KGD6 block offset by 20% YoY dip in deepwater gas prices (flat QoQ),” Nuvama Equities said.

Retail EBITDA is likely to remain strong (up 20% YoY and 3% QoQ) on higher footfalls. JIO’s EBITDA is likely to surge 11% YoY and 3% QoQ on a high subscriber base (up 8% YoY/1% QoQ). Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) shall likely rise by 2% YoY/ 1% QoQ.
