(Reuters) - State-controlled Oil India Ltd posted a 33.4 percent rise in its second-quarter profit on Monday, helped by strong gains from its crude oil segment, but missed analysts' estimates.

Profit was 8.62 billion rupees ($118.26 million) for the three months ended Sept. 30, compared with 6.46 billion rupees a year earlier, the oil and gas explorer said. https://reut.rs/2Qz5CAk

Revenue from operations climbed 51.3 percent to 37.44 billion rupees, while revenue from the crude oil segment gained over 57 percent.
