Exports were higher by 52.2% at Rs 101,872 crore ($20.8 billion) as against Rs 66,936 crore in 1H FY10-11. Higher crude prices resulted in consumption of raw materials increasing by 44.4% to Rs 129,104 crore ($26.4 billion) on a year-on-year basis.

Commenting on the results, Mukesh D. Ambani, Chairman and Managing Director, Reliance Industries Limited said: "Our first half financial performance has been consistent. The increase in profits was largely driven by improved performance in the refining and petrochemicals business. All our manufacturing facilities operated at record levels with refineries achieving operating rates of 110%. RIL has strong balance sheet and sustained earning base to pursue growth opportunities."

Other expenditure increased by 17.3% from Rs 7,452 crore to Rs 8,743 crore ($ 1.8 billion) due to higher power & fuel expenses and exchange difference.

Other income was higher at Rs 2,180 crore ($ 445 million) as against Rs 1,394 crore on a year-on-year basis primarily due to higher average liquid investments.

Depreciation (including depletion and amortization) was lower by 10.2% at Rs 6,164 crore ($ 1.3 billion) against Rs 6,862 crore in 1H FY 2010-11 due to lower depletion charge in oil & gas as a consequence of the transfer of 30% Participating Interest (PI) in 21 blocks to BP.

Interest cost was higher at Rs 1,205 crore ($ 246 million) as against Rs 1,083 crore in 1H FY 2010-11 principally due to higher foreign exchange difference.

Interest capitalized was higher at Rs 276 crore ($ 56 million) as against Rs 228 crore.

So, who won today ? The Bulls or the Bears ? I think it was a stalemate. The bulls defended 5070 and the bears defended 5170. Now both are looking at the international markets and domestic results for cues.

BTW, what was Nifty doing in the last hour or so ?? Forming an ascending triangle ??

Well, so far, TCS's results meet street expectations, HDFC posts a good set of numbers, Mindtree's results outshine everyone else so far.

On top of that, India seem to be on their way to victory against England - 195 for 2 in 31 overs in response to England's 239. Will it lift the Nifty tomorrow ??

Kavima says in his today's post that we can short below 5085.

Really.. I am amazed at how widely different methods reach the same conclusion, be it a solid deeply technical system like Kavima's, or a seemingly simple approach like Rajsumi121's 21MA method. Following that method too, the "cross over" bar had 5087 as low, and he recommends selling below that level.. Check this.

I wish I could thank traderji.com in some way.

Let's see what happens today. Pre-open, Nifty is 70 pts down. OTOH there is a plethora of good news too. Maruti has resumed production, Coal India strike is over, NTPC will get coal from today. TCS, HDFC, IFCI have declared decent results..

And India won the match yesterday.

Timepass, we are thanking them by showing up on their forum and posting the way we do. We quit posting, then their advertisers quit advertising, and then they quit making money.

BTW, do you have a good Cricket site you could direct me to?
I sure like that sport, but it is never played here in the USA.
