S&P Global Ratings on Friday said state-owned Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) faces rising pressure to balance fuel affordability with profitability as prolonged tensions in West Asia increase crude oil prices and squeeze marketing margins. The ratings agency said disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz and elevated crude prices could widen the gap between domestic retail fuel prices and raw material costs, potentially hurting the company's earnings, cash flow and liquidity position over the next 12 months. India, the world's third-largest oil importer, relies heavily on imported crude to meet domestic fuel demand, with diesel accounting for nearly 39 per cent of total petroleum consumption. "IOC faces a conundrum. Its earnings and cash flow over the next 12 months are turning increasingly uncertain as the Middle East conflict becomes protracted. IOC has to balance its role of meeting the country's energy needs while absorbing losses due to high crude oil prices," it said. "Given the ...

A top official of the Lanka Indian Oil Corporation, the company's Sri Lanka operation, on Saturday assured continued fuel supplies amid the ongoing conflict in West Asia.

Jaishankar, would help sustain island nations' energy supply chain. Herath discussed the matter with Jaishankar during his official visit to India on March 6. Addressing a gathering of management students here on Saturday, K Raghu, the managing director of LIOC, said,"As the Managing Director of Lanka IOC, I only want to tell the people that you are all in safe hands."

Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), the nation's biggest oil company, will comply with all applicable sanctions, Chairman Arvinder Singh Sahney said on Monday, steering clear of remarks on purchases from Russia. Indian refiners are likely to scale back on the import of Russian oil to avoid secondary sanctions on shipping and banking after the US imposed fresh sanctions with a view to curbing Moscow's earnings from oil sales. "We will abide by all sanctions imposed by the international community," he said. He, however, refused to comment on the IOC's purchases of Russian oil. Russian oil made up for 21 per cent of the crude oil IOC imports during April-September. IOC's subsidiary Chennai Petroleum Corporation Ltd (CPCL) has halved Russian oil imports this month, coinciding with the fresh sanctions the US imposed on Russian oil.
