- H1 CFO was −Rs.862.63 Cr (CFO/PAT −0.94x) with FCF of −Rs.1,368.07 Cr; QIP proceeds, not operations, funded capex

- Oils segment EBIT fell QoQ (Rs.299.62 Cr vs Rs.331.34 Cr; margin 16.50% vs 19.48%), and management has declined to guide on recurrence of inventory-valuation-driven per-unit profitability
