Cairn India reported a 12.5% rise in net profit for the third quarter driven by higher crude oil realizations and forex gains. Production is expected to increase with the ramp-up of new fields. While the stock has outperformed recently, the company is forecast to benefit from its low-cost assets as oil prices remain favorable. Analysts maintain a buy rating and price target of Rs. 415 based on Cairn's ability to increase production and realize higher prices in the current macroeconomic environment.

committed to ramp the production from the MBA fields to 2,40,000 bopd by 2013. EOR activities at the MBA
field continues to progress at an expected rate with encouraging results. However, with the current pipeline
capacity of 175,000 bopd, the company would require further investments or would have to rationalize
production.
Exploration charge for the quarter was at Rs 176.3 crore, much higher than Rs 38.9 crore reported in
previous quarter majorly on account of plugged and abandoned well in Sri Lanka. Resultantly, EBITDA (Excl.

of Rs 112.4 crore and foreign exchange gain on account of depreciating rupee (Rs 53.21) at Rs 301.5 crore
helped the company post better profits. Lower interest and effective tax rate further helped uplift profit
numbers.

investments pertaining to ramp up of production in the MBA field, pipeline capacity expansion, investments in
Barmer field, other satellite fields in RJ Block, EOR as well as exploratory activities in other blocks. Cairn
