Crude import costs down 35%, creates room to cut fuel prices

Live Mint  

NEW DELHI : India’s oil import bill declined 35.3% during the first four months of FY24 due to easing crude oil prices over the past year. This fall in the import bill will likely see oil marketing companies, which operate most of the refineries in the country, increase their refining and marketing margins—and profits too —as retail fuel prices have remained unchanged since May last year.In the first quarter of FY24, OMCs, which are public sector companies, reported healthy profits. Among them, Indian Oil Corporation reported net profit of ₹14,735 crore for April-June compared to a net loss of ₹883 crore in the same period last year. Indian refiners have been buying discounted Russian oil for most part of the past one-and-a-half year since the Russia-Ukraine conflict broke out, allowing them to record a significant jump in refining margins, while petrol and diesel prices have largely remained the same since May last year.
