BPCL Reports Rs 3,962 Crore Net Loss in Q1 FY27 Amid Rising Costs and Margin Pressures
Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL) reported a standalone net loss of approximately Rs 3,962 crore for Q1 FY27, a significant decline from a Rs 6,124 crore profit in the same quarter last year. The loss was mainly due to suppressed marketing margins on petroleum products amid rising crude oil prices and under-recoveries on LPG sales, partially offset by higher refining margins. Revenue from operations rose about 23% year-on-year to around Rs 1.59 lakh crore, while total expenses increased sharply, driven by higher material costs and inventory changes.
