Reliance Industries Ltd., operator of the world’s largest refining complex, increased its share of sales in India to meet growing demand for fuels.
The Mumbai-based energy explorer and refiner sold 20.65 million metric tons of fuels in the South Asian nation in the nine months ended Dec. 31 compared with 8.01 million tons a year earlier, according to Bloomberg calculations based on export figures released by the company on 22nd Jan. The numbers were confirmed by a Reliance spokesman, who declined to be identified in line with company policy.
The company gave up the export-only status of its first refinery in April in light of the global recession after completing in December 2008 a 580,000 barrel-a-day refinery that caters to overseas customers. Domestic sales as a share of output rose to 47 percent in the nine months ended Dec. 31, compared with 33 percent a year earlier, according to data released by the company.
Customers include Indian Oil Corp., the largest state-run refiner, which started purchasing diesel and gasoline from Reliance in April. “Buying fuels from Reliance Group reduces our costs,” Gyan Chand Daga, marketing director at Indian Oil, said by telephone from Mumbai today. “Demand for fuels is growing and we need to meet that gap.”
In terms of fuel pricing, the government partly compensates state refiners for selling fuels below cost without extending the benefit to private refiners, including Reliance and Essar Oil Ltd. Despite this, the private companies like Reliance are offering competitive rates to local companies and refiners. This fact raises a question about the validity of the storms raised in the recent past with respect to the Reliance gas disputes about pricing that RIL has been needlessly dragged into and embroiled in.

Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) is shocked and outraged by the reports broadcast on Thursday, first by TV5 and later by a few other Telugu television channels, which attempted to link us with the most tragic death of former Chief Minister Dr.Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy.
Reliance Industries strongly condemns and unequivocally refutes all the allegations with the contempt they deserve. The unsubstantiated, malicious and motivated reports are utter rubbish, without an iota of truth in them. That the news channels sensationalized a speculative story appearing on a little-known foreign website of dubious credentials, without crosschecking with us, betrays their mala fide intentions.
This is further evident from the sudden, pre-meditated, organized and well-coordinated attacks on RIL’s various installations and properties across the State that ensued within minutes of the first news broadcast. These orchestrated criminal acts have caused extensive damage to our properties. Worse, some of our personnel and valued customers have been injured in the mindless violence. All this has been done in cahoots with our business rivals.
Reliance Industries will proceed legally against TV5 for deliberately telecasting a false report, which has tarnished our reputation, harmed our customers, and caused us business losses. We demand that the Central and State governments conduct a thorough inquiry into the synchronized criminality of the news channel and the perpetrators of violence against Reliance Industries. The culprits must be brought to justice.
Reliance Industries is a law-abiding corporate citizen. We have cordial relations with all the stakeholders in the state, including leaders of all the political parties. We fondly recall our association with the late Chief Minister Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy. Thanks to his active support, several of our business initiatives in Andhra Pradesh took off and RIL rapidly expanded its footprint across the State. Our significant investments in Andhra Pradesh have benefited both the State and the nation. Today we are one of the biggest private sector employers, providing direct and indirect employment to more than 10,000 people in the State.
We deeply regret inconvenience caused to our customers in the State following the disruption of our business activities. We sympathise with, and sincerely apologize to, our customers.

A lot of us have found ourselves in a situation where we need to get cash fast: that sudden bill, payments for medical treatment, repairs for your car. Thankfully, you can get an instant payday loan easily these days. As long as you are aware of the substantial costs that come with them, a cash advance loan is a viable solution to these emergency situations. As stated earlier, just be aware of the costs that come when getting a payday loan, mainly the high interest rate.
The digital age: providing instant connectivity and solutions
Commonly, people have found instant payday loan providers within their own neighborhoods and going up to them in person. However, in these days of increased connectivity via the World Wide Web or internet, cash advance loans can now be acquired electronically.
A lot of these lenders offer easy online application for loans and can inform instantly when your loan has been approved, after which the borrowed funds would then be deposited into your banking account the following business day. In most cases, loan providers require that you have a steady source of income through employment and that you are able to provide a banking account. Some may require you to fax the necessary details or have a digitized copy of the paperwork to be sent via e-mail.
Increasing your chances against losses
Just remember to do your research about cash-advance . First, carefully read all the agreements and be very sure that you can pay the borrowed money back in the time allotted to you. Inform yourself of the state’s laws and regulations regarding cash advance providers, and choose a lender who is able to abide with those laws and regulations. These kinds of loans often have interest rates on an annual percentage cost that could add up to as much as several hundred percent.
If you are not able to pay for them in a timely fashion, you would find yourself in a downward spiral of financial debt that may haunt you for a long time. A good tip for all loan applicants is to simply borrow what you immediately need.
Just to remind you once again
Again, this may sound repetitive and redundant but be aware that this is a financial matter and anything that involves money, always has its risks. Preparing for your cash-advance, its future costs and the steps you’ll need to pay on time will ultimately help you mitigating these risks.
It is also a very crucial key component to your loan application that you do you research about the cash advance provider. The Better Business Bureau, for instance, can provide you information about a lender regarding their customer relations and if they have any pending issues with a borrower.
If you are in the market to lease a vehicle, you will hear the term
“residual value” recur like a leitmotif. A residual value does not only
affect your monthly payments, but is equally used by leasing companies
to determine any penalties should you break your lease early and how
much to pay if you decided to buy the vehicle at the end of your lease.
Let us first start by looking at the meaning of residual value. The
term “residual value”, refers to the value of something after it has
been used for some time. In leasing lingo, it refers to the
depreciation of the vehicle’s value over the life of its lease.
So how does it exactly affect your monthly payments? When you lease a
car, you pay for the car’s value that you use over the lease length.
Suppose you leased an $18,000 car for 2 years: the leasing company
needs to estimate the value of this car in two years time in order to know
how much of the car you will be using during your lease term. That’s where
the “residual value” comes into the equation. If the residual value is
estimated to be $13,000 at the end of your lease, then your monthly
payments will be calculated on the $5,000 you will use over 24 months,
giving an average monthly payment of $208.3 (plus interest, tax and fees).
How about if the car is expected to lose half its value over the same
period? In this scenario, you will be using $9,000 over the same period,
leaving you with a higher monthly payment of $375 (plus interest, tax and
fees).
As you can see, residual values are a key factor in determining how much
money to pay on your lease and the higher the residual value, the lower
your monthly fees. This works in reverse if you build a bond with your car
and decide to purchase it at the end of your lease. If we stick with the
same example above, the lower monthly payments in the second scenario come
at the cost of paying substantially more to buy your car at the end of the
lease.
So, since the residual value is so important, how do I know which one is
best for me? Well, it all depends whether you want to purchase the car at
the end of your lease. If you don’t want to make a large down payment and
you want low monthly payments, then a car that holds with a higher residual
value is a good deal. If you are thinking of purchasing the car at
lease-end, then you need to balance low-monthly payments with a moderate
residual value.
