Ambani, Chairman and Managing Director, Reliance Industries Limited said these are extraordinarily challenging times for India."Our immediate priority is to help our country and community tide over the COVID crisis. We have deployed our best resources in strengthening the nation's fight against the pandemic. Our facilities in Jamnagar are producing lifesaving medical grade oxygen, which is the crucial need of the hour in many states. We have also taken urgent steps to bolster the nation's capacity to swiftly transport medical oxygen. These efforts complement our other initiatives such as distributing free meals to the needy, supplying PPEs to frontline workers and setting up world class COVID-care facilities. To me, these contributions are far more satisfying than our company's strong, overall operational and financial performance for the year," he said."We have registered robust recovery in O2C and retail segment, and resilient growth in Digital Services business. Sustained high utilization rates across sites and improvement in downstream product deltas as well as transportation fuel margins aided O2C earnings growth. Our consumer businesses have proved to be a digital and physical lifeline for the nation in these challenging times," he added.He said Jio's high-speed connectivity services enabled millions of Indians work from home, study from home and even receive healthcare from home."Reliance Retail ensured safe supplies of essentials goods and services to customer homes. And while COVID-19 has disrupted livelihoods, we have added nearly 75,000 jobs to the economy, while ensuring the health and safety of our employees and their families. I also want to express my deepest gratitude to the scientists, doctors, nurses, police, volunteers and many others who are fighting on the frontlines, risking their own lives, so that we remain safe and protected. We all owe a great deal to them. I am sure we are going to ultimately win the fight against COVID-19. Because each one of us is engaged in this fight and the human spirit to fight and survive is greater than any disease or pandemic. With our collective effort, India will eventually triumph over the crisis and emerge stronger, bigger and better than ever before," he said.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
