Net profit in April-June at ₹4,335 crore was 772.2% higher than the ₹497 crore in the first quarter of the previous fiscal when demand as well as price had plummeted due to the COVID-19-related lockdown, the company said in a statement. The company got $65.59 for every barrel of crude oil it produced and sold in the first quarter of the 2021-22 fiscal as compared with $28.87 per barrel realisation in April-June 2020.
