Indian Oil Marketing Shares Fall as Brent Crude Prices Rise Amid Middle East Tensions
Shares of Indian state-run oil marketing companies (OMCs) declined as Brent crude oil prices surged above $99 per barrel amid escalating Middle East tensions. Bharat Petroleum, Hindustan Petroleum, and Indian Oil Corporation saw drops due to concerns over margin pressures from regulated domestic fuel prices. Meanwhile, upstream producers Oil India and ONGC gained on improved oil realization prospects. Rising crude prices also impacted tyre and paint stocks, raising worries about higher raw material costs and inflationary pressures for Indian companies.
