Reliance Industries (RIL) has moved higher by over 5% to Rs 852 on reports that RIL and its partner BP Plc won approval to invest USD 3.18 billion in R-Series gas field in the flagging KG-D6 block.

The block oversight committee, called Management Committee (MC), headed by upstream regulator DGH, approved plans of RIL and its partners BP plc of UK and Niko Resources to produce 13-15 million standard cubic meters per day of gas for 13 years from D-34 discovery in the KG-DWN-98/3 or KG-D6 block, the PTI report suggests.

RIL-BP plan to quickly bring satellite fields in the KG-D6 block to production to help reverse the decline in output, added report.

The stock opened at Rs 816 and hit a low of Rs 813 on NSE. A combined 6.4 million shares have change hands on the counter so far on NSE and BSE.
