Indian Oil Marketing Companies Expected to Report Q2 Profit Gains Amid Rising Crude Prices
Indian oil marketing companies (OMCs) like IndianOil, BPCL, and HPCL are expected to report improved profits in Q2FY27 compared to Q1FY27, driven by stronger refining and marketing margins and reduced under-recoveries on LPG. While Q2 shows sequential gains, rising crude oil prices above $100 per barrel pose risks for the second half of the fiscal year. Despite recent margin declines, OMCs anticipate positive operating profits if current market conditions persist through September.
