BPCL slips into red, posts ₹3,962 cr loss in Q1 on holding down fuel prices

Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL) on Wednesday reported a net loss of Rs 3,962 crore in the June quarter on keeping petrol, diesel and LPG prices way below cost that had soared due to the West Asia crisis. The net loss of Rs 3,962.13 crore in April-June - the first quarter of current 2026-27 fiscal year - compared with a profit of Rs 3,333.97 crore in the same period a year back, according to a stock exchange filing by the company. BPCL and other state-owned fuel retailers - Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL) - held petrol and diesel prices steady for two-and-half-months despite a more than 50 per cent surge in prices of crude oil - the raw material for making petrol and diesel - after the US and Israel attacked Iran on February 28 and Tehran retaliated.

Composite margins on petrol and diesel sales at state-run refiners and fuel retailers are now above levels seen before the recent Middle East conflict, with gains driven by lower crude prices and reduced central excise duties, it said. The start of the West Asia conflict triggered a surge in global oil prices but retail pump rates in India remained steady for large parts and rising only by a fraction of the required increase. Even after the Rs 7.50 per litre increase in petrol and diesel prices in May, retail pump rates were lower than the cost. "Our estimates for OMC composite margins on petrol and diesel are now higher than pre-war levels. Losses on LPG are still elevated, but should also start to track o
