CPCL net profit more than triples to ₹2,271 crore in Q2

Chennai Petroleum's net profit has more than tripled to ₹2,271 crore in the second quarter of the year. This significant increase in profit is largely due to a substantial rise in the company's gross refining margin, which more than doubled to $20.41 a barrel in the September quarter. This improvement in refining margins has a direct impact on the company's bottom line, leading to a substantial increase in profit before tax, which rose to ₹3,032 crore from ₹994 crore a year earlier.
