Aage Kya Hoga? Cost Pressure Aur Daily Loss Ka Chakravyuh
Yeh jo price hike hua hai na, yeh sab crude oil ke bhaage hue daamon aur West Asia mein chal rahe tensions ki wajah se hai. Companies ne cost cutting karke aur price badha kar thoda sahara dene ki koshish ki hai, par yeh bilkul naafi nahi hai. Brokerage reports bol rahi hain ki yeh companies roz ₹500 Crore se ₹1,380 Crore tak ka loss utha rahi hain, even after this hike. Crude prices $100 per barrel ke upar chal rahe hain, jo last year se kaafi zyada hai. ICRA ke hisab se, agar crude $105-110 par raha toh roz ₹500 Crore ka loss hota hi rahega. Yeh margin squeeze OMCs ke liye badi problem ban gayi hai.
Profits Dikhe Acche, Par Share Market Mein Kyun Gire?
Abhi FY2026 ke results toh bade acche aaye hain. HPCL ne ₹18,047 Crore ka profit dikhaya (yeh 168% up hai last year se!) aur IOCL ne toh ₹44,677 Crore kamaye. Lekin market mein investors pareshan hain, stocks niche gir gaye hain. HPCL sabse zyada risk mein lag raha hai, unka integrated loss $19 per barrel tak hai. BPCL aur IOCL thode better position mein hain, unke refining business ke kaaran. Nomura ne IOCL (Target ₹190) aur BPCL (Target ₹460) ko 'Buy' rating di hai, par HPCL ko 'Neutral' (Target ₹440). Market cap bhi dekho toh IOCL ₹1.85-1.95 lakh crore, BPCL ₹1.3 trillion INR, aur HPCL 786.4 billion INR hai.
Risk Ya Opportunity? Investors Ke Liye Kya Hai Khaas?
Asal concern yeh hai ki companies yeh continuous losses kaise handle karengi. Yeh jo ₹3.9 wala hike hai, yeh sirf ek chota sa relief hai, gap bharne ke liye kaafi nahi hai. Isse national exchequer par bhi pressure aa sakta hai, ya phir aur bade price hikes karne pad sakte hain. Upar se, rupee weak ho raha hai aur crude prices bhi high hain, jisse inflation badhegi (CPI around 15-25 basis points up ho sakti hai). HPCL ke Rajasthan refinery mein bhi aag lagi thi, jo aur problem kar raha hai. West Asia mein jo situation hai, woh dikha rahi hai ki prices $100-$137 ke beech mein hi rahenge, toh losses kam hone wale nahi hain.
Future Outlook: Uncertainty Hai Ya Kuch Aur?
So overall, OMCs ka future abhi thoda uncertain hai. Geopolitical tension aur price adjustments ke beech balance banana mushkil hai. Stock performance future mein kitne price hikes hote hain, crude oil kaisa rehta hai, aur government kya karti hai, ispar depend karega. Market ab companies ke pricing strategy aur unke financial stability ko closely watch karega.
