HPCL delivered a strong Q4 FY26 with standalone PAT of ₹4,901 crore (+46% YoY), driven by robust Jan-Feb momentum and lagged crude benefits in March. Full-year standalone PAT of ₹17,175 crore (133% YoY) was 17% above the previous best. Key drivers included cost savings of ₹1,691 crore under the Samriddhi program, tight working capital management reducing debt by ₹15,724 crore to ₹47,599 crore, and lower interest costs. The Barmer refinery (HRRL) commissioning was delayed by a minor fire but is expected to achieve COD shortly, with ramp-up to 60% capacity in June. The new RFCC unit at Mumbai refinery is stabilizing after catalyst clogging issues. However, Q1 FY27 is expected to be very tough due to high crude prices and product price caps, with management acknowledging losses but declining to quantify. The key risk is prolonged geopolitical turmoil further squeezing margins and delaying the recovery of marketing losses.
