Segment-Leading Durability, Fused with Style The OPPO K13x 5G sets a new benchmark for durability in the sub-₹15,000 segment, bringing together aerospace-grade strength and biomimetic brilliance in a sleek, everyday form factor. At its core lies the AM04 high-strength aluminum alloy inner frame--an advanced material used in aerospace engineering that delivers 10% more durability than previous-generation alloys. This robust internal skeleton is complemented by a solid outer frame for comfortable handling, while the front is shielded with Crystal Shield Glass--the same flagship-grade cover glass offering 160% better impact resistance than conventional materials. To further reinforce its build, the K13x 5G also comes with a specially designed Anti-Drop Shield Case right in the box, offering instant and added protection. Going beyond conventional toughness, the K13x 5G draws inspiration from nature's oldest survivors--sea sponges. With over 700 million years of evolutionary wisdom, these organisms' porous, flexible structures inspired OPPO's Sponge Biomimetic Shock Absorption System. The system uses high energy-absorbing elastic materials to create internal buffer zones between critical components and the phone's rigid frame. Lab tests demonstrate that this sponge-based architecture can reduce impact forces by up to 90%, providing advanced internal protection while maintaining a sleek 7.99mm profile and lightweight 194g build. It's the perfect blend of nature-inspired engineering and modern durability--proof that you don't have to sacrifice style for strength.

Is the ghost of past subsidies, under-recoveries troubling IndianOil?
What does one expect from an oil marketing major when crude is on a downtrend and retail fuel prices are still high? A robust financial. On paper, that should have been the case with Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL). And yet, the numbers tell a different story. IOCL's net profit for FY25 collapsed to INR12,962 crore – a whopping 67% plunge from INR39,619 crore the year before. Even in the fourth quarter of FY25, when crude prices stabilised

HPCL and Mahanagar Gas stand out as top picks in a mixed oil & gas landscape; Motilal sees 17-28% upside
Marketing and CGD segments shine amid stable crude, but refining faces pressure from global capacity glut and weaker demand, say experts tracking the sector closely. India's oil and gas sector sees strength in marketing and city gas distribution due to stable margins and volume growth, while refining struggles with overcapacity and weak global demand. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads HPCL: Buy| Target Rs 455| LTP Rs 387| Upside 17% Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Mahanagar Gas Ltd: Buy| Target Rs 1760| LTP Rs 1368| Upside 28% (Disclaimer: The opinions expressed in this column are that of the writer. The facts and opinions expressed here do not reflect the views of .) A combination of favorable crude oil dynamics, stable pricing policies, and volume growth underpins the positive outlook for marketing and CGD segments. However, a glut in global refining capacity and muted demand projections cast a shadow over refining remains the preferred sub-sector, driven by expectations of lower crude oil prices (FY26E: $65/bbl) and stable retail fuel prices. Despite a recent INR2/litre excise duty hike on petrol (MS) and diesel (HSD), marketing margins remain robust at ~INR12/litre, well above our long-term assumption of INR3.3/ resilience, coupled with a healthy 4% annual volume growth, supports earnings visibility for oil marketing companies (OMCs). Private players are capitalizing on strong margins, with their combined diesel and petrol sales surging 19.7% YoY in FY25, outpacing state-run competition intensifies, the sector's earnings face limited near-term risks, with potential upside if crude stays maintaining a neutral stance since November 2023, the CGD segment is now turning attractive. Falling raw material costs, driven by a looming global LNG surplus and lower gas pricing slopes, are expected to boost rising CNG adoption—supported by favorable economics vs. traditional fuels—is likely to sustain volume growth. With compressed natural gas (CNG) demand projected to grow at a steady clip, CGD companies stand to benefit from both margin expansion and volume tailwinds, marking a notable shift in sector refining segment faces challenges as global net capacity additions (0.4/0.95 mb/d in CY25/26) outpace demand, worsened by the International Energy Agency's (IEA) 300 kb/d downgrade to CY25 oil demand Brent prices are forecast at $65/bbl in FY26/27, downside risks persist, potentially denting profitability for upstream players like ONGC and Oil India . Though these firms trade at cheap valuations (0.8x–1.1x FY27E book value), weak realization trends justify sector's near-term fortunes hinge on crude oil trends and policy decisions. While marketing and CGD segments offer growth and margin resilience, refining and upstream activities face structural may prioritize OMCs and CGD players, leveraging their earnings stability, while adopting a selective approach in a volatile macro environment. Risks such as sharper-than-expected crude price declines or policy shifts warrant monitoring, but the current setup favors downstream and gas-focused Petroleum reported EBITDA 61% above estimates, driven by stronger-than-expected GRM of USD8.5/bbl. & marketing margin of INR4.5/lit, leading to PAT of INR33.5b, (+114% beat). We model a marketing margin of INR 3.3/litre for both MS and HSD in FY26/27, while the current marketing margins for MS and HSD are both above INR 10/ identify several key catalysts for the stock going forward: (1) the de-merger and potential listing of its lubricant business, (2) the commissioning of its bottom upgrade unit in 2QCY26, (3) the start of its Rajasthan refinery in FY26, and (4) LPG under-recovery Gas (MAHGL)'s adjusted EBITDA margin stood at INR 8.35/scm, below our estimate of INR 10/scm (reported EBITDA: INR 10/scm). During the quarter, MAHGL added 0.15 million domestic connections and 164 industrial/commercial customers, taking the total to 5, believe MAHGL's EBITDA margin has scope for further improvement, supported by two key factors: (1) the recent CNG price hike of INR 1.5/kg and D-PNG price hike of INR 1/scm, which will aid margins, & (2) declining raw material costs in fall in crude oil & Henry Hub index prices, along with INR appreciation on a QoQ basis, should help lower gas procurement costs going forward. We expect a 10% CAGR in volume over FY25-27.
