Oil India Reports 60% Rise in Q4 Profit on Higher Crude Production and Prices

Oil India Limited reported a significant rise in consolidated fourth-quarter profit for FY26, with net profit increasing by around 60-62 percent to between Rs 2,099 crore and Rs 2,424 crore, driven by higher crude oil production, improved price realization, and operational efficiency. Crude production rose 6 percent, reaching the highest daily output in a decade. Full-year consolidated profit increased modestly, while standalone annual profit declined. The board recommended a final dividend of Rs 1 per share, supplementing interim dividends paid during the year.
