New Delhi :  Anil Ambani Group flagship firm Reliance Infrastructure reported over 10 per cent rise in profit at Rs 457.62 crore for April-June period on account of a major drop in sub-contracting charges though net sales saw a decline of 26 per cent.

 The company said its income declined over 26 per cent to Rs 4,548 crore from Rs 5,746 crore a year ago as its EPC business dipped.

Its sub-contracting charges in the June plummeted to Rs 427.68 crore from Rs 1,439.43 crore in the same period last fiscal, Group Director for Strategy and Corporates Affairs Lalit Jalan told reporters .

EPC business revenue stood at Rs 590 crore and the order book at Rs 6,181 crore, the company said. Other income rose to Rs 397.60 crore from Rs 293.48 crore, the newly-appointed chief executive M S Mehta said, adding income from operations declined to Rs 4,150.89 crore from Rs 5,452.45 crore in the last fiscal.

On the outlook for the infra sector, Jalan said the company is hopeful that it could gain from the thrust the government has given to infrastructure development and outlook looks buoyant.

When asked about the capex plan, Jalan said it could be around Rs 2,500 crore for this fiscal, but did not give the details. On fund raising plan, he said the company is evaluating all options including asset monetisation and a QIP issue.

Jalan said the city’s first metro project Mumbai MetroOne, which it commissioned in June, has achieved operating cash profit, excluding  interest cost. The metro collects around Rs 50 lakh a day from ticket sales and Jalan expressed hope that it could achieve full operating  profit in sixth or seventh month of operations.
