✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript

ONGC reported a standalone PAT of INR 10,216 crore for Q2 FY24, down 20.3% YoY due to lower crude realizations and higher operating expenditure. Consolidated PAT surged 142.36% YoY to INR 16,553 crore, driven by strong performance from subsidiaries HPCL, MRPL, and OVL. Crude realization fell to $84.84/bbl from $95.50/bbl YoY. The KG 98/2 project is expected to commence oil production imminently, with gas ramp-up to 10 MMSCMD by FY25. Management guided for ~1% production growth in FY24 and 4-5% in FY25, with capex of INR 33,000-35,000 crore. Key risks include windfall tax volatility and OPaL's continued losses, which management expects to turn around by FY25 pending government approval for equity infusion.
