BPCL reports lower annual profit despite rising revenue, rebounds from previous quarter losses, and advances plans for a greenfield refinery and petrochemical complex in Andhra Pradesh.
State-owned Maharatna company Bharat Petroleum Corporation (BPCL) on Friday reported a 21.45% year-on-year (YoY) decline in profit attributable to owners at Rs 4,863.05 crore in Q2FY27 from Rs 6,191.49 crore in Q2FY26. However, on a sequential basis, the company posted a strong turnaround in the September quarter, against a loss of Rs 3,962.13 crore in the previous quarter (Q1FY27).
The company's revenue from operations gained 29.78% YoY at Rs 1,57,817.93 crore in the quarter under review, compared with Rs 1,21,604.70 crore reported in Q2FY26. Total expenses at the state-owned company rose 32.54% YoY to Rs 1,51,932.8 crore against Rs 1,14,634.91 crore in the year-ago quarter.
On a sequential basis, earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) stood at Rs 8,971 crore, compared with a loss of Rs 4,077 crore in the preceding quarter. EBITDA margin came in at 6.02%.
Separately, BPCL's board of directors, at a meeting held on October 23, approved the incorporation of a wholly owned subsidiary in India for the proposed greenfield refinery and petrochemical complex and associated facilities at Ramayapatnam in Andhra Pradesh.
The incorporation is subject to requisite government, statutory and regulatory approvals. The subsidiary will serve as a dedicated project company, with an initial authorised share capital of up to Rs 4,900 crore.
According to the company, the entity will provide a dedicated legal and governance structure for project activities and support due diligence, engagement with lenders and potential partners, and the development of an optimal financing and partnership structure.
The detailed feasibility reports are being finalised. The financial investment decision and financial commitments will be considered separately by the competent authorities at the appropriate stage, BPCL said.
