It had logged net profit at Rs.4,710 crore in the year-ago period.
The total income of the company rose 24.9 percent to Rs.75,283 crore for the quarter under review, RIL said in a statement after the stock markets closed.

Margins from the refining business, one of the major revenue segments of the company rose at a modest rate. The gross refining margin for the fiscal 2010-11 was $9.2 per barrel, compared to $7.5 barrel a year.
