The management expects petchem segments Q2 operating profit run-rate to continue in H2FY25. The capex in H2FY25 may be higher, with FY25 capex going to ₹9,000-10,000 crore (earlier guidance was of ₹11,450 crore).

The state-owned energy giant plans to add 80 new compressed natural gas (CNG) stations and 120,000 new domestic piped natural gas (PNG) connections in next two years, and 500 kilo tonnes per annum (ktpa) PDH-PP (propane-based plant) at Usar will start commercial production by October 2025, and a 60 ktpa polypropylene plant at Pata will be commissioned by December 24.
