HPCL ka Gas Distribution Dhamaka!
Yaaron, Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) ne April 2026 mein tohofan macha diya! Mahine ke pehle 26 dinon mein hi 3.23 crore se zyada LPG cylinders desh bhar mein pahuuncha diye. Iske liye 1.86 lakh se bhi zyada fuel tankers daude hain. Special cylinders ki baat karein toh 6.84 lakh se zyada 5 kg wale aur 26,000 se zyada 2 kg wale cylinders bhi diye hain. Yeh sab possible ho paaya hai HPCL ke smart digital system ki wajah se, jo 99.5% LPG bookings ko online handle karta hai. Isse demand ko track karna aur delivery ko optimize karna easy ho gaya hai.
Gadbadi karne walon ki band bajayi!
Sirf delivery hi nahi, HPCL ne rules todne walon ki bhi khub checking ki. March 14 se April 26, 2026 tak, 6,000 se zyada inspections hui hain. Ismein 163 distributors ko pakda gaya, aur 34 ko toh suspended bhi kar diya. 664 raids mein 44 FIRs hui hain aur 4,100 se zyada cylinders zabt kiye gaye. Yeh sab fuel ki black marketing rokne aur sabko sahi se milne dene ke liye hai.
Market ke Tehelke mein HPCL Ka Stock
Jab energy sector mein duniya bhar mein tension chal rahi hai, tab HPCL ka stock April 26, 2026 tak lagbhag 374 rupaye ke aas paas tha, aur market cap 81,000 crore ke paas thi. Iska TTM Price-to-Earnings ratio lagbhag 5.16 se 5.35 hai, jo IOCL aur BPCL jaise peers ke 5.51 se 6.22 ke aas paas hai. Reliance Industries jaise bade players ke muqable mein yeh valuation kafi attractive lag raha hai. Haalanki, stock pichhle saal 3.35% gira tha, par April ke last mein lagbhag 5 din lagatar upar bhaga tha. West Asia ki wajah se crude oil prices mein utaar-chadhav se energy stocks mein kafi tezi ya girawat dekhne ko mil rahi hai.
HPCL Ke Liye Tension: LPG Losses Aur Margin Ka Chakkar
HPCL chahe jitna bhi efficient ho jaye, industry mein kuch bade issues hain. Oil companies abhi bhi LPG par lagbhag 380 rupaye per cylinder ka loss utha rahi hain, aur May 2026 tak yeh loss 40,000 crore se zyada ho sakta hai. Crude oil prices ke fluctuations se yeh problem aur badh jati hai. Jab crude oil mehnga hota hai, toh HPCL jaise companies ke liye margin kam ho jata hai agar wo consumer prices nahi badha paate.
Analysts Kya Kehte Hain?
Analysts ne HPCL ke liye average 12 mahine ka target price 438 se 441 rupaye set kiya hai, matlab thoda upside dikh raha hai. Par sab policy reforms ka wait kar rahe hain, khaas kar LPG subsidies ko lekar, jisse company ki financial health sudhar sakti hai. HPCL ka focus operational efficiency par hai, aur TTM EPS 70 rupaye ke aas paas aur ROE 14-17% hai, jo ise ek stable stock banata hai.
