Quarter overview
Quarterly earnings analysis
Antelopus Selan Energy Limited reported standalone revenue from operations of INR 250.12 crore for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, marking a robust expansion compared to INR 131.04 crore in the preceding quarter ended June 30, 2026. Total income for Q2 FY27 reached INR 259.41 crore, up from INR 132.23 crore in Q1 FY27.
Profitability expanded sharply alongside top-line growth. Profit before tax (PBT) for the quarter stood at INR 149.31 crore, representing a 72.73 crore increase over the previous quarter's INR 72.73 crore. Net profit after tax (PAT) for Q2 FY27 reached INR 111.61 crore compared to INR 54.32 crore in Q1 FY27, resulting in basic earnings per share of INR 31.63 versus INR 15.36 in the preceding quarter.
The operational momentum during the quarter was underpinned by production uplift at the Bakrol field, where a 10-well drilling and hydraulic fracturing campaign was successfully completed. Post-frac production began flowing mid-quarter, supporting average sales volumes of 1,656 boepd for Q2 FY27 compared to 1,705 boepd in Q1 FY27, while October production scaled higher to 1,950 boepd.
Other income for Q2 FY27 contributed INR 9.29 crore, bolstered by the receipt of approximately INR 6.50 crore corresponding to a refund of excess cess remitted by the company across financial years 2020-21, 2021-22, and 2022-23.
Operating expenses remained well-controlled. Royalty and cess stood at INR 20.46 crore, while depreciation and amortization expenses were reported at INR 23.55 crore. The amortization charge reflects a lower quarterly run-rate following a management reassessment of the useful life of oil and gas assets initiated in the previous fiscal year following regulatory extensions.
The company strengthened its acreage position during the quarter by formally signing Revenue Sharing Contracts on October 22, 2026, for two onshore contract areas awarded under Discovered Small Field (DSF) Bid Round-IV: KG/ONDSF/KG ONLAND/2025 in the KG Basin, Andhra Pradesh, and CB/ONDSF/CAMBAY ONLAND/2025 in the Cambay Basin, Gujarat.

What shaped the business before this quarter
Effective October 1, 2025, management reassessed the useful life of oil and gas assets following the enactment of the Oil Fields (Regulation and Amendment) Act, 2025 and Petroleum and Natural Gas Rules, 2025, factoring in a conservative 10-year extension for Bakrol, Lohar, and Cambay Production Sharing Contracts.
On February 14, 2024, the company entered into a Farm-in-Farm-Out Agreement to acquire a 50 percent participating interest and operatorship of the Cambay Field, with Government of India approval granted on July 19, 2024.

Financial interpretation
What the reported numbers mean
Profit after tax represented 44.6% of reported quarterly operating revenue. This is a calculated net-profit-to-sales ratio, not a company-reported operating margin. It measures the outcome after expenses and tax; it does not, by itself, establish how margins changed versus another period.
Profit before tax was equivalent to 59.7% of quarterly operating revenue. The distinction between pre-tax and post-tax profit matters when interpreting earnings; neither ratio identifies an underlying cost driver without a properly matched comparative period.
Total income exceeded operating revenue by ₹9.29 crore. This is the disclosed difference between the two lines, not incremental sales. The distinction matters when assessing how much of the quarter’s reported income came from the operating top line.
Ratios above are calculated from the reported quarterly figures. They are analytical descriptions, not company-reported margin guidance or an investment recommendation.
