Earlier this month, BCL announced that its subsidiary, in association with Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), has received a production concession from the Supreme Council of Financial and Economic Affairs (SCFEA) in Abu Dhabi.
The company announced that the production concession agreement comes after Urja Bharat Pte Limited (UBPL) obtained the exploration and production concession in March 2019 and successfully completed the exploration phase. UBPL is a 50:50 special purpose vehicle (SPV) formed by BPCL and the IOC.
For the quarter ended June 2024, BPCL reported a 73 per cent decline in net profit, for a total $2,841.55 million rupees. This significant drop was attributed to lower refining margins and a reduction in fuel prices, which affected marketing margins. The company’s operating income in the first quarter of FY25 saw a slight year-on-year decline of 0.1 percent, reaching $1.28 crores.
In the current calendar year alone, shares have risen 62.7 percent. BSE analysis reveals that the stock has gained 23.5 percent in the last 6 months and 20.7 percent in the last 3 months.
