India's Oil Marketing Companies See LPG Under-Recoveries Decline After Global Price Easing
India's oil marketing companies (OMCs) faced significant LPG under-recoveries of around Rs 13,700 crore in Q1FY27 due to global supply disruptions from the West Asia conflict and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. These under-recoveries increased the cumulative burden to about Rs 61,900 crore by June 30, 2026. International LPG prices surged nearly 50% in Q1 but eased in subsequent months, leading to an expected 40% decline in under-recoveries in Q2FY27. Despite price hikes domestically, OMCs continue to carry sizeable losses amid fluctuating global costs and diversified sourcing strategies.
