Indian Oil Q2 FY27 Profit Surges 184% on Refining Margins and Lower Crude Prices
Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) reported a standalone net profit of Rs 21,630 crore for Q2 FY27, a 184% increase year-on-year, driven by improved refining margins and a temporary decline in crude oil prices. Revenue rose about 30% to over Rs 2.62 lakh crore. The company returned to profitability after a Q1 loss, with strong petrochemical and gas margins offsetting losses on fuel sales. IOC cautioned that future earnings may face pressure from potential crude price fluctuations and inventory losses.
