IOC, BPCL, HPCL clock Rs 30,106 cr Q2 profit, nearly 39 pc of last year's annual earnings

India's three major state-run fuel retailers, IOC, BPCL, and HPCL, have reported a combined net profit of Rs 30,106 crore for the second quarter. This is nearly 39% of their annual earnings from last year, indicating a significant turnaround from their previous loss of Rs 18,150 crore. The profitability surge is notable, given the ongoing freeze on petrol and diesel prices since May. This strong performance is largely due to Indian Oil Corporation's highest standalone quarterly net profit, driven by strong refining margins.
