Oil & Natural Gas Corp.'s second-quarter net profit fell 19% from a year earlier, as the coronavirus pandemic caused lower crude realization.

ONGC said late Friday that net profit for the quarter ended September fell to 43.35 billion rupees ($581.2 million).

Revenue was down nearly 18% at INR836.19 billion.

During the second quarter, total crude oil production was down 2.71% from a year ago to 4.686 million metric tons, while gas production was down 6.2% at 5.880 billion cubic meters.
