Quarter overview
Quarterly earnings analysis
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2027, Oil & Natural Gas Corporation Limited demonstrated robust standalone financial momentum alongside divergent trends in consolidated profitability.
On a standalone basis, ONGC reported a gross revenue of ₹46,460 crore, up 45.2% from ₹32,003 crore in the corresponding period of the previous year, supported by higher crude oil price realizations.
Standalone net profit for Q1 FY27 surged by 112.3% to ₹17,034 crore compared to ₹8,024 crore in Q1 FY26, accompanied by the highest-ever quarterly profit before tax of ₹22,848 crore.
At the consolidated level, gross revenue reached ₹204,987 crore compared to ₹163,106 crore in Q1 FY26. However, consolidated profit after tax declined to ₹6,554 crore from ₹11,554 crore.
The primary pressure point on consolidated profitability stemmed from HPCL's consolidated net loss of ₹12,265 crore, driven by under-recoveries on petroleum products resulting from sharp crude price increases following the West Asia crisis.
This downstream drag was partially cushioned by robust contributions from other group companies, including ONGC Videsh and MRPL, lifting net profit attributable to owners to ₹11,899 crore.

04 · Why it moved
Why the quarter looked the way it did
What drove revenue
Nomination crude oil net realization rose 50.4% year-on-year to US$99.45 per barrel (₹9,419 per bbl) compared to US$66.13 per barrel (₹5,658 per bbl) in Q1 FY26. Joint venture crude realizations increased 52.3% to US$103.34 per barrel.
New well gas revenue reached ₹3,998 crore during Q1 FY27, delivering an additional ₹1,331 over APM pricing with a realization of $13.31/mmbtu. New well gas accounts for approximately 38% of total revenue from nomination gas portfolios.
Natural gas price for nomination fields stood at $7.00/mmbtu, compared to $6.64/mmbtu in Q1 FY26.
What drove margins
Consolidated margins were heavily compressed by refinery under-recoveries at subsidiary HPCL amid surging crude prices triggered by the West Asia crisis, resulting in a ₹12,265 crore net loss for HPCL.
05 · Demand, customers & order book
Where demand is coming from
Gas offtake from small isolated fields was lower during the quarter due to operational disruptions at customer facilities, leading to reduced demand and corresponding production adjustments.

How the company is trying to change its growth mix
Following early positive results of TSP-1, ONGC engaged BP as Technical Service Provider (TSP) through international competitive bidding (ICB) for the entire Western Offshore portfolio to improve asset integrity and recovery.
Under the newly approved National Offshore Exploration Scheme 'Samudra Manthan', ONGC spudded exploratory well MNDWO181HDB-1 in the Mahanadi basin on 25 July 2026 at a water depth of approximately 765 meters.
ONGC and Reliance Industries operationalized the sharing of Multi-Support Vessels (MSVs) for Eastern Offshore assets, and ONGC extended helicopter services to Oil India Limited on a chargeable basis for cost optimization.
