Combined profit of OMCs rises over 25-times year-on-year in FY24

13 May 2024 Evaluate

The Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas in its latest notification has showed that the combined profit of oil marketing companies (OMCs) for FY 2023-24 (FY24) stood at Rs 86,000 crore, over 25 times higher than the extraordinarily difficult previous fiscal year.  Even as they navigated rapidly evolving geo politics and wide fluctuations in crude prices, the OMCs not only ensured fuel availability at affordable rates, with one of the lowest fuel price inflation globally in India, but they have also rewarded the shareholders’ trust by posting commendable annual results.

According to the notification, markets have reacted positively to the results with Bharat Petroleum Corporation (BPCL) and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation (HPCL) share prices rising after the announcement of results. Moreover, analysts have taken cognisance of the performance and many of them have put a buy recommendation, a strong validation of their annual performance and the outlook for the current fiscal year.

Meanwhile, over the last few years, the government has unleashed the potential of OMCs by allowing the right mix of freedom and accountability. The government maintains an arm’s length distance from their business decisions while fully supporting and encouraging ambitious plans that are aligned with the vision of Viksit Bharat, 2047.
