 "RIL under pressure ahead of earnings result on Friday")
Reliance Industries remains under pressure ahead of its earnings results due out on Friday. Doubts about how much natural gas can be extracted from Reliance’s KG D6 blocks, and worries over its refining margins, as well as its usage of cash, have led to a string of analyst downgrades in recent weeks.
