BSE Oil & Gas Index jumps 3%: Here's why
Other constituents of the index including Bharat Petroleum Corporation (BPCL), Indraprastha Gas (IGL), Hindustan Petroleum (HPCL), Adani Total Gas, and Gas Authority of India (GAIL) were up in the range of 2 to 4.5 per cent. Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), Oil India (OIL) and Petronet LNG also gained up to 2 per cent.
At 01:15 PM, the BSE Oil & Gas index was trading at 26,480.78, up 734.07 points or 2.85 per cent. It touched intraday high of 26,551.71, up 3.12 per cent from previous session's close of 25,746.71.
The company's revenue from operations grew 10.51 per cent to Rs 261,388 crore in the reported quarter as against Rs 236,533 crore during the year-ago period.
However, in the oil and gas business, RIL's revenue fell marginally by 0.4 per cent to ₹6,440 crore. Earning before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (Ebitda) fell 8.6 per cent Y-o-Y to ₹5,123, impacted by lower KG D6 gas production, lower CBM price and maintenance activities.
For the entire FY25, RIL's revenue from the oil business increased 3.2 per cent Y-o-Y to ₹25,211 crore. The company reported the highest annual Ebidta of ₹21,188 crore, up 4.9 per cent Y-o-Y, driven by higher KG D6 and CBM production, constrained by lower gas prices. Ebitda margin rose 140 basis points to 85 per cent.
Prashanth Tapse, senior vice president for research at Mehta Equities says that the upswing in oil and gas stocks is primarily driven by expectations of positive quarterly earnings in the sector and positive global oil market dynamics.
"We have seen IGL delivering better-than-expected numbers, and Reliance too has reported better-than-expected results overall. In addition, there are expectations of an increase in supply, which will help crude prices remain stable and positive," he added.
Oil markets are awaiting a meeting of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies (Opec+) next week as members of the cartel are expected to increase production for a second straight month, with higher production volumes expected to help offset the impact of lower prices. Opec+ has also been raising production in line with Trump's calls for higher output and lower oil prices.
Shares of other oil and gas companies including Adani Total Gas, ONGC, BPCL and Indian Oil were trading in the green ahead of the Q4 results announcements as these companies are scheduled to declare the quarterly results this week. HPCL will announce its Q4 and FY25 earnings on May 6, 2025.
Indraprastha Gas reported better-than-expected Q4 results which also boosted the investor sentiment around the stock. The company's standalone net profit declined 9 per cent Y-o-Y to ₹349.23 in the reporting quarter against ₹382.80 in the same quarter of the previous fiscal. However, revenue from operations stood at ₹3,950.57 crore, up 10 per cent Y-o-Y from ₹3,596.79 crore in Q4 FY24. The company's board recommended a final dividend of ₹1.5 per share of the face value of ₹2 each for FY25. According to analysts at Motilal Oswal Financial Services, IGL's total volumes were in-line with the brokerage's estimate at 9.18 mmscmd with both, CNG and PNG volumes, in-line with estimates. Ebitda/scm came in above the brokerage's estimate at ₹6, while realiaation increased by ~₹3/scm Q-o-Q, and gas cost/opex rose by ₹0.5/₹0.8 per scm Q-o-Q.
Increase in realisation, as per MOFSL analysts, was on account of the reversal of provisions amounting to ₹114 crore, based on negotiations with OMCs w.r.t trade margins. This led to IGL reporting Ebitda beat on estimates, at ₹500 crore (down 5 per cent Y-o-Y). The brokerage has a 'Neutral' rating on the stock as IGL shares currently trade at 15x FY26E SA P/E, while its 1-year forward long-term average is 21.1x P/E.

India exports to US to be more competitive after duty hike on China, others
Indian exports to the US will become more competitive following imposition of higher tariffs by the Trump administration on countries, including China, Canada, and Mexico, Niti Aayog said in a report on Monday. The Aayog in its third edition of 'Trade Watch Quarterly', said there will be significant opportunities for India in the US markets both in terms of the number of products and volume of the US market. "India is expected to gain competitiveness in 22 out of the top 30 categories (HS 2 level), representing a market size of $2,285.2 billion," the Aayog said. It further explained that China, Canada, and Mexico are the leading exporters to the US in these categories, therefore higher tariffs on these countries at 30 per cent, 35 per cent, and 25 per cent, respectively, will enhance India's competitiveness. The Aayog said India's competitiveness will remain unchanged in 6 out of 30 categories, amounting for 32.8 per cent exports to the US and 26 per cent of the US total imports, amounting to $26.5 billion. While for six product categories at HS 2 level, India faces a higher average tariff(between 1-3 per cent) which can be negotiated with the US, the Aayog said, "In 78 products, accounting for 52 per cent of India's exports and 26 per cent share in total US imports, India is expected to gain competitiveness." For 17 products (accounting for 28 per cent of India's export to the US) out of the top 100 products at the HS-4 level, the Aayog said India's competitiveness remains unchanged due to no change in tariff differential. The Aayog also pointed out that "India stands to gain in sectors with high tariff gaps vs China, Canada and Mexico -- minerals and fuels, apparel, electronics, plastics, furniture, and seafoods in a $1,265-billion market". Meanwhile, an Indian commerce ministry team has reached Washington for another round of talks on the proposed bilateral trade agreement (BTA), which will begin on Monday. Chief negotiator of India and special secretary in the department of commerce Rajesh Agrawal will join the team on Wednesday. The four-day talks will end on Thursday. India's deputy chief negotiator for the proposed BTA has reached Washington for the talks on the first phase of the BTA, the official said. The visit assumes significance as both sides have to iron out issues in sectors like agriculture and automobiles. It is also important as the US has further postponed the imposition of additional tariffs on several countries, including India, until August 1. Earlier this month, the Indian team was in Washington for talks, with negotiations taking place from June 26 to July 2. The team has once again reached the US for negotiations. India has hardened its position on the US demand for duty concessions on agri and dairy products. New Delhi has, so far, not given any duty concessions to any of its trading partners in a free trade agreement in the dairy sector. India is seeking the removal of this additional tariff (26 per cent). It is also seeking the easing of tariffs on steel and aluminium (50 per cent) and the auto (25 per cent) sectors. Against these, India has reserved its right under the WTO (World Trade Organization) norms to impose retaliatory duties. US President Donald Trump announced heavy tariffs on a number of countries, including India, on April 2. However, it was soon postponed for 90 days until July 9 and later to August 1. From July 7, the Trump administration has issued tariff letters to a number of its trading partners, including Bangladesh, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Thailand, South Africa, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cambodia, Kazakhstan, Laos, Serbia, and Tunisia. The US wants duty concessions on certain industrial goods, automobiles, especially electric vehicles, wines, petrochemical products, and agri goods, like dairy items, apples, tree nuts, and genetically modified crops. On the other hand, India is seeking duty concessions for labour-intensive sectors, such as textiles, gems and jewellery, leather goods, garments, plastics, chemicals, shrimp, oil seeds, grapes, and bananas in the proposed trade pact. The two countries are looking to conclude talks for the first tranche of the proposed bilateral trade agreement (BTA) by fall (September-October) this year. Before that, they are looking for an interim trade pact. India's merchandise exports to the US rose 21.78 per cent to $17.25 billion in April-May this fiscal year, while imports rose 25.8 per cent to $8.87 billion.
