movement in light distillate cracks on y-o-y basis and shutdown of Fluid Catalytic Cracking Unit (FCC).• GRM for Q2FY19 stood at $ 9.5/bbl, outperforming Singapore complex margins by $ 3.4/bbl.• During Q2FY19, RIL Jamnagar refineries processed 17.7 MMT of crude. The average refinery utilization rates globally in

Q2FY19 were 89.9% in North America, 85.2% in Europe and 88.4% in Asia. Refineries in the United States continue to benefitfrom the availability of cheap domestic crude supporting high utilization. Utilization in Asia too was high with refinerscoming out of the peak maintenance season in Q1FY19 leading to higher utilization q-o-q.

• Global oil demand growth is tracking 1.3 mb/d in CY2018 with headwinds from high oil prices, currency depreciation inemerging markets and threat of trade protectionism. Asia continues to drive demand growth with China and India being keycontributors. US is the key contributor to the demand growth amongst OECD nations. Domestic oil demand grew by 2.7% inQ2FY19. Demand for gasoline grew by 6.6%, jet fuel by 9.7%, diesel by 2.8% and LPG by 4.8%.

• Higher fuel oil and LPG cracks more than offset the impact of lower cracks for gasoline and jet fuel. Shrinking spareproduction capacity and higher demand for crude oil continued to support prices despite higher production from SaudiArabia, Russia, US, Iraq, Kuwait and UAE. Dubai oil price averaged at $ 74.3/bbl, up $ 2.2/bbl q-o-q and $ 23.8/bbl Y-o-Y.

• Fuel oil cracks averaged $ (-) 4.2 /bbl in Q2FY19 as compared to $ (-) 6.0 /bbl in Q1FY19 and $ (-) 2.5 /bbl in Q2FY18. Seasonalsummer demand from Middle East limiting arbitrage flows to Asia and strengthened cracks during the quarter. Fuel oilinventory in Singapore fell below 5 year lows. Arab Light – Arab Heavy crude differential settled at $ 2.3 /bbl in Q2FY19 ascompared to $ 3.2 /bbl in Q1FY19 and $ 1.5 /bbl in Q2FY18. Stronger fuel oil crack and continued heavy crude productiondecline in Venezuela and Mexico supported higher OSPs for Arab Heavy resulting in a narrower light heavy differential.

• The petrochemicals business revenue grew by an impressive 56.2% y-o-y & 8.6% q-o-q to INR 437450 million. This stronggrowth in revenues was due to increase in volumes and price realizations

• The company’s EBIT grew by 63.7% y-o-y & 3.3% q-o-q to INR 81200 million supported by strong y-o-y volume growth led bysuccessful stabilization of the world’s largest ROGC its downstream units and new PX facility.

• Ethylene prices remained stable during the quarter. However, propylene prices strengthened amid tight supply due to keycracker shutdowns in NE Asia. Polymer margins weakened on back of stronger feedstock prices (naphtha and ethane)coupled with weaker polymer prices due to increased supply from newly commissioned crackers in North America.

• On q-o-q basis, PP and HDPE prices softened by 2% and 5% respectively; whereas PVC prices remained stable. PP marginover propylene softened to $216/MT and PE margins over naphtha came down to $557/MT from $640/MT through thequarter. PVC margins softened by 8% q-o-q basis ($ 494/MT) due to high EDC prices led by low caustic environment. Due tohigh crude, naphtha and ethane prices, polymer margins are softer during this quarter. However, with enhanced feedstockflexibility and refinery off-gas cracker, RIL maintained overall cost leadership position and have among the best margins inthe industry.

• Polymer demand in India continues to witness sustained growth fostered by core sector performances, increasing purchasepower and boost in infrastructure spending. On y-o-y basis, domestic polymer demand increased by 7% during Q2FY19. PP,PE and PVC demand were higher by 6%, 8%, 6% y-o-y respectively. RIL’s polymer production was up by 19% y-o-y driven bystart-up of state-of-the-art ROGC complex and reliable operations from all the other assets.

Revenue & EBIT of Petrochemicals business Production & margin performance

• Firm energy prices continued to bolster the price uptrend across the polyester chain during the quarter. PX-Naphtha marginssurged 45% q-o-q ($487/MT) backed by firm upstream and downstream markets. Supply remained tight due toplanned/unplanned maintenance and delayed shipments from the new start-up capacities. RIL benefited from its recentexpansion of PX and MEG capacity at Jamnagar.

• PTA markets remained buoyant amidst increased polyester demand, tight supplies and strong futures markets.Consequently, PTA prices and margins firmed; prices were up 16% q-o-q and margins were up by 11% q-o-q, surpassing the5-year average. PTA-PX delta touched its highest levels since 2011.

• Polyester sales remained healthy at quarter beginning and gradually slowed towards the end. Polyester filament yarnproducers succeeded in passing down the rising cost to end-users; prices rose 11% q-o-q improving margins by 13%($320/MT). However, PSF markets were sluggish; producers were pressured by rising inventory, limited downstream buyingand tight cash flows. Despite 8% higher q-o-q prices, margins declined by 5% q-o-q ($144/MT) due to firm intermediateprices.
