ONGC's consolidated PAT rose 28.19% YoY to INR 12,615 crore in Q2 FY26, driven by strong subsidiary performance from HPCL and MRPL. Standalone PAT fell 17.8% to INR 9,848 crore due to lower crude oil realizations ($67.34/bbl vs $78.33/bbl) and higher DD&A costs. Crude oil production grew 1.2% YoY to 4.630 MMT, while gas production decline was arrested at -0.04%. New well gas contributed INR 3,352 crore in H1, with share reaching 21% of gas revenue. Management guided FY27 oil production at 21 MMT and gas at 21.5 BCM, with ramp-up from KG 98/2 (gas to 10 MMSCMD by mid-2026) and Daman upside (5 MMSCMD). The BP-led Mumbai High redevelopment is expected to show green shoots from January 2026. Key risk: KG 98/2 oil production has slipped to 28,000 bpd, and recovery depends on well interventions.
ONGC का कुल मुनाफा (PAT) Q2 FY26 में पिछले साल की तुलना में 28.19% बढ़कर 12,615 करोड़ रुपये हो गया। इसकी वजह इसकी सहायक कंपनियों HPCL और MRPL का अच्छा प्रदर्शन रहा। लेकिन सिर्फ ONGC का अपना मुनाफा 17.8% घटकर 9,848 करोड़ रुपये रह गया, क्योंकि कच्चे तेल की कीमतें कम मिलीं ($67.34 प्रति बैरल, पहले $78.33 थी) और खर्च बढ़ गए। कच्चे तेल का उत्पादन 1.2% बढ़कर 4.630 मिलियन टन हुआ, जबकि गैस उत्पादन में गिरावट लगभग रुक गई। नए कुओं से गैस ने H1 में 3,352 करोड़ रुपये का योगदान दिया। कंपनी ने FY27 में 21 मिलियन टन तेल और 21.5 बीसीएम गैस उत्पादन का लक्ष्य रखा है। KG 98/2 से गैस उत्पादन 2026 के मध्य तक बढ़ेगा। मुंबई हाई के विकास से जनवरी 2026 से फायदा मिलने की उम्मीद है। जोखिम: KG 98/2 से तेल उत्पादन घटकर 28,000 बैरल प्रतिदिन रह गया है।

NEW RISK
KG 98/2 oil production decline
Oil production from KG 98/2 fell to 28,000 bpd from 30,000 bpd, and recovery depends on well interventions with uncertain timing.
NEW RISK
Production guidance miss for FY26
Management acknowledged that FY26 oil and gas production will be below initial guidance due to delays in KG 98/2 ramp-up.
NEW RISK
Mozambique project cost escalation
Total project cost for Mozambique LNG may rise above $16-17 billion, requiring additional approvals and partner contributions.
NEW RISK
Crude oil price volatility
Standalone PAT declined 17.8% YoY due to lower crude realizations; further price drops could pressure earnings.
RISK GONE
KG Basin ramp-up delays
KG Basin production ramp-up delayed from Q2 to Q4 FY26 due to unavailability of living quarter vessel and monsoon. Further delays could impact FY26 production targets.
RISK GONE
Sustained low crude oil prices
Crude oil realization fell 20% YoY to INR 66.13/bbl. If prices remain low, standalone profitability could be further impacted.
RISK GONE
OPaL debt burden and petrochemical cycle risk
OPaL has debt of INR 24,800 crore. While EBITDA turned positive, profitability depends on petrochemical cycle upturn. Management has no immediate plans to infuse equity.
RISK GONE
Operating cost inflation
Operating expenses rose 7.6% YoY due to higher FPSO charges and LNG costs. Cost reduction initiatives (Pipavav port, crew boats) are yet to show material impact.

We are expecting that we should have a reduction of about INR 5,000 crore in OpEx.
Under TSP, we are likely to see green shoots from coming January onwards.
For KG 98/2, currently, we are having 28,000 barrels of oil per day, and that is what is actually affecting our production estimates for this year.
