ONGC Dec quarter consolidated profit jumps 26% on higher oil, gas prices

State-owned Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) reported a 26 per cent jump in its third quarter net profit on the back of a rise in oil and natural gas prices. Net profit of Rs 11,044.73 crore, or Rs 8.78 per share, in October-December compared with Rs 8,763.72 crore, or Rs 6.97 per share, in the same period a year back, according to a company's stock exchange filing. The profit was, however, lower than the Rs 12,825.99 crore earnings in the immediately preceding quarter of July-September.

ONGC earned USD 87.13 for every barrel of crude oil it produced and sold in the third quarter of the current fiscal, up from USD 75.73 a barrel realisation in the year-ago period. Crude oil is refined at refineries to produce fuels such as petrol and diesel. Prices of natural gas, which is used as fuel to produce electrici
