Stock Market Live: Fuel Price Hike May Cushion OMC Losses From Higher Crude

  • BPCL, HPCL and IOCL raised petrol and diesel prices by Rs 3 per litre each, effective Friday, in their first hike since April 2022.
  • Every Rs 0.5 per litre increase in fuel marketing margins is estimated to lift EBITDA by 7% for IOCL, 8% for BPCL and 11% for HPCL. A Rs 3 per litre hike would imply a six-fold impact on that metric.
  • Based on those estimates, EBITDA could improve by about 42% for IOCL, 48% for BPCL and 66% for HPCL. The benefit may provide a partial cushion against the Rs 1-1.2 lakh crore cumulative loss expected for oil marketing companies in the first quarter of fiscal 2026-27.
