Toh bhai log, ye jo government ne kiya hai na, ye unka strategy hai ki global prices jab high ho, toh zyada paisa kamaaye aur local supply ko bhi secure rakhe. Export ko thoda discourage karne ka plan hai jab prices aasman choo rahi ho.
Naye Rules Kya Hain?
Ministry of Finance ne Special Additional Excise Duty (SAED) par changes kiye hain, jo May 16, 2026 se लागू (laagu) hai. Ab petrol exports par seedha ₹3 per litre ka tax lagega, jahan pehle koi tax nahi tha. Diesel exports par duty kam ho kar ₹16.5 per litre ho gayi hai (pehle ₹23 thi), aur Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) par ₹16 per litre (pehle ₹33 thi). Ye regular fortnightly review ka part hai. Road and Infrastructure Cess (RIC) bhi zero kar diya hai. Main aim hai ki high global prices aur geopolitical tension se jo fayda ho raha hai, woh sarkar ke paas aaye, aur desh mein fuel ka price na badhe.
Refiners Par Kya Asar Padega?
Ye naya tax structure direct export karne wale refiners ke profit margins par bhoj daalega. Reliance Industries, jo ek bada player hai, uske export se hone wale profit margins kam ho jayenge. Abhi Reliance ka P/E ratio lagbhag 20.9 se 22.81 ke beech hai (as of May 2026). Yeh unke domestic refining peers, jaise Indian Oil Corporation (IOCL) jiska P/E lagbhag 5.52 hai, Bharat Petroleum Corporation (BPCL) ka 5.24, aur Hindustan Petroleum Corporation (HPCL) ka 5.35, se kaafi zyada hai. Reliance Industries ki market cap bhi ₹18.46 lakh crore hai, jo in sabse bahut badi hai. Yaad hai, March 27, 2026 ko bhi jab aise hi export levies wapas aaye the, toh Reliance ke shares mein 4-5% ki girawat aayi thi.
Global Scene Aur India Ka Risk
Abhi global oil market mein kaafi upar-neeche ho raha hai. Brent crude around $109 per barrel aur WTI $105 per barrel par trade kar rahe hain (on May 15, 2026). US EIA ka forecast hai ki May aur June 2026 mein Brent crude average $106 per barrel rahega, kyunki West Asia mein tension aur Strait of Hormuz mein disturbances chal rahi hain. India apni crude oil requirement ka 88.6% import karta hai, aur FY26 mein uska oil import bill lagbhag $134.7 billion tha. Isliye ye global price swings India ko bahut affect karte hain.
Analysts Kya Kehte Hain?
Analysts abhi bhi Reliance par positive hain. 32 mein se 31 analysts ne 'Buy' rating di hai aur target price ₹1,697 rakha hai. Lekin haal hi mein kuch ne valuation zyada hone aur technicals ko dekh kar 'Hold' pe downgrade bhi kiya hai.
Aage Ka Kya Scene Hai?
West Asia ki geopolitical situation, Strait of Hormuz ka risk, aur global crude oil prices aage chal kar refiners ke liye important honge. Agar government aise hi taxes lagati rahi, toh Reliance jaise companies ka high P/E ratio (22.81x vs industry avg 13.18x) aur vulnerable ho sakta hai. India ka import bill aur dependence usko price shocks ke liye sensitive banata hai. Aur government ke ye regular tax adjustments policy mein uncertainty laate hain, jisse stock mein volatility aati hai. Baaki public sector companies IOCL, BPCL, HPCL conservative valuations par hain. Aage ka performance geopolitical tensions kam hone, crude prices ki direction, aur government ki policy par depend karega.
