HPCL net profit slips 9% amid volatile crude prices in Q2

HPCL, an Indian oil-marketing company, reported a 9% decline in its net profit for the second quarter.

The gross refining margin, a key indicator of profitability, stood at $32.15 per barrel during the quarter, a figure that is likely to impact HPCL's bottom line. As a result, investors will be closely watching the company's performance, particularly in the context of the ongoing fluctuations in crude prices.
