India’s Petronet LNG reported a 70.9 percent rise in its net profit in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020-21.

Consolidated net profit reached 6.37 billion rupees ($87.2 million) in the quarter, compared to 3.73 billion rupees last year.

Compared to the previous quarter, profit declined 27.7 percent.

Petronet’s revenue also dropped to 76.2 billion rupees in the January-March period, compared to 86.5 billion rupees in the corresponding quarter but revenue rose slightly when compared to the previous quarter of 74.2 billion rupees.
