Higher crude oil prices a net positive for upstream cos, possibly for OMCs too: Kotak Equities
The recent rise in crude oil prices may prove beneficial not only for upstream oil companies but also for oil marketing companies (OMCs), according to a report by domestic brokerage firm Kotak Institutional Equities. ADVERTISEMENT In a recent note, the brokerage highlights that the latest rally in oil prices, with Brent crude being up 15% since early June, could aid upstream companies such as ONGC and Oil India by lifting their net realizations and earnings. "Brent has moved up to US$85/bbl from US$74/bbl earlier in the month," the brokerage said, adding that every US$1/bbl increase in Brent prices adds Rs 2.4–2.5/share to ONGC's EPS and Rs 3.5–4/share to Oil India's EPS, assuming no changes in government levies. According to Kotak, ONGC's base case assumes an oil price of US$80/bbl Interestingly, the brokerage also sees the potential for OMCs to benefit from higher oil prices under current market conditions. 'Oil marketing companies (BPCL, HPCL, IOCL) may benefit too, if the government maintains current pump prices,' Kotak stated. The report notes that despite the recent increase in Brent prices, auto fuel prices have remained unchanged in India, implying potential margin expansion for OMCs. ADVERTISEMENT "OMCs are seeing marketing margins rise to Rs 5.6/liter for diesel and Rs 7/liter for petrol," the report stated, assuming average Brent at US$85/bbl and a USD/INR exchange rate of Kotak points out that HPCL's marketing EBITDA was Rs 3.5/liter in FY24, suggesting that current margin levels may offer substantial upside if they persist. The firm acknowledges that while refining margins remain modest, the improving marketing profitability may offset those concerns. ADVERTISEMENT On refining, the brokerage notes that gross refining margins (GRMs) continue to be relatively weak, with Singapore complex GRM currently at US$3.5–4/bbl, and diesel cracks at US$13–14/bbl, which are below seasonal averages.

Any pressure on INR likely to be confined to short run, given the robust fundamentals and comfortable current account situation, notes RBI minutes
The Reserve Bank of Indias MPC member noted in the minutes of Monetary Policy Committee Meeting, June 4 to 6, 2025 that the 50-basis-point rate cut in this cycle seems very reasonable and highly desirable. Moreover, the current situation warrants a front-loaded rate cut. However, a relatively big interest rate cut would mean that the interest rate differential with the U.S. Fed would reduce to lowest levels in recent time, the minutes noted. This, ceteris paribus, can put pressure on the rupee, especially vis-vis the USD. However, given the robust fundamentals of Indian economy including comfortable current account situation, any pressure on INR is likely to be confined to short run, according to MPC member Prof. Ram Singh. Further, a pick in growth can more than offset the adverse effect of reduced interest rate differentials, if any, he added.
