While the profit numbers look impressive, I hope ONGC is also investing in cleaner energy alternatives. We can't rely on fossil fuels forever, especially with climate change. But yes, for now, the operational efficiency shown in Western Offshore is commendable. Would like to see more transparency on exploration costs though.
Wow, ₹49,793 crore profit for the full year! And HPCL, MRPL, OVL - all subsidiaries doing well, that's a solid performance by the corporate network. The gas monetisation from Daman Upside Development in record time is a big achievement. Makes me proud of our PSUs!
Good numbers, but I question the dividend payout ratio of 51%. For a capital-intensive sector like oil & gas, shouldn't they reinvest more into R&D and renewable energy transition? The ₹33,075 crore capex in Western Offshore is good, but we need more focus on green hydrogen and solar. Just my honest opinion.
Impressive results from ONGC. As someone who follows global energy markets, seeing a 53% quarterly profit jump for a state-owned enterprise is unusual. The TSP-2 contract covering the entire Western Offshore is a smart move - if TSP-1 worked in MH field, scaling up makes sense. This could reduce India's import dependence further.
ONGC's net profit surge is good news for the Indian economy. Over 30% annual growth in earnings is a positive signal for foreign investors too. But I'm curious about their energy transition plans - that 17% contribution from new well gas shows they are
