Chennai Petroleum delivered a stellar Q4 FY26 with record annual crude throughput of 11.71 MMT (112% capacity) and Q4 throughput of 2.93 MMT (111% capacity). Gross refining margin (GRM) for Q4 was $13.75/bbl, well above the Singapore benchmark of $8.70/bbl, driven by optimized crude mix (52% high sulfur), highest-ever distillate yield of 79.1%, and record LPG production of 447 TMT. The company maintained a strong balance sheet with net debt-to-equity of 0.09. Management guided for sustained high utilization, with a scheduled maintenance turnaround in H2 FY27 but expects minimal impact. Key growth projects include a ₹1,600 crore LOBS expansion and ₹400 crore retail outlet rollout. Risks include geopolitical crude supply disruptions and export duty volatility, though management expressed confidence in navigating these through flexible sourcing and long-term contracts.
