Kotak Raises Crude Forecast, Prefers ONGC Over Oil India on Production Outlook
Kotak Institutional Equities raised its FY27 crude oil price forecast to $100 per barrel amid supply risks linked to Middle East tensions, benefiting Indian upstream producers. It maintains a 'Buy' rating on ONGC, citing strong production prospects, new gas pricing frameworks, and a partnership with BP supporting output. Conversely, Oil India faces concerns over limited reserves and potential oil production decline, leading Kotak to retain a 'Sell' rating despite some gas production improvements. The brokerage highlights improved policy support for domestic upstream companies.
