Detailed Analysis
Consolidated revenue increased from INR 138,112.5 Cr in FY23 to INR 149,217.4 Cr in FY25, representing a 2-year CAGR of 3.9%. Revenue declined by 3.8% in FY25, from INR 155,091.5 Cr in FY24
EBITDA declined from INR 20,669.8 Cr in FY24 to INR 12,294.6 Cr in FY25, representing a decline of 40.5%. EBITDA margin contracted from 13.3% to 8.2%, reflecting weaker refining economics and operating profitability
Consolidated PAT declined from INR 12,321.0 Cr in FY24 to INR 6,079.5 Cr in FY25, representing a decline of 50.7%. PAT margin decreased from 7.9% to 4.1%
Borrowings and lease liabilities increased from INR 13,495.6 Cr in FY24 to INR 14,318.1 Cr in FY25. However, growth in equity from INR 43,491.0 Cr to INR 50,010.2 Cr reduced debt-to-equity from approximately 0.3x to 0.3x, based on an unrounded FY25 ratio of 0.29x
FY25 PAT of INR 6,079.5 Cr, against average FY24–FY25 equity of INR 46,750.6 Cr, resulted in an ROE of 13.0%. The return was materially affected by the decline in FY25 profitability
Operating cash flow remained positive but declined by 11.8%, from INR 3,455.4 Cr in FY24 to INR 3,047.8 Cr in FY25. Cash generation was affected by a reduction of INR 9,409.5 Cr in trade and other payables

The domestic outlook remains supported by mobility, infrastructure, industrial activity and India’s energy-security requirements. The industry nevertheless faces structural pressure from electric vehicles, biofuels, energy-transition policies, new refining capacity and volatile global product cracks

Detailed Analysis
India’s oil demand is forecast to increase from approximately 5.4 million barrels per day in 2023 to 6.6 million barrels per day by 2030, implying a CAGR of approximately 2.9%. Actual Indian oil-demand growth slowed to approximately 0.6% in 2025, partly because of higher biofuel use and weaker transport demand
India had installed refining capacity of approximately 258.1 MMT as of April 2025, with a large established network of public- and private-sector refiners
Refining and fuel retail are exposed to environmental approvals, product-quality standards, taxation, excise duty, trade restrictions and geopolitical policy. FY25 excise duty alone stood at INR 20,597.3 Cr, illustrating the direct policy and taxation exposure of the business

Industry Overview
Industry Drivers
Domestic Fuel Demand and Energy Security
India’s downstream fuel demand is supported by mobility, freight movement, infrastructure creation, industrial activity and rising energy consumption. Refiners and fuel marketers with reliable supply chains and strong domestic distribution are better positioned to serve demand through cycles.
Key Drivers:
Mobility and transport demand across passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, aviation and road freight
Growth in highways, logistics corridors, construction, mining and industrial activity supporting diesel, petrol and ATF demand
India’s energy security priority, including stable domestic supply, diversified crude sourcing and refining capacity expansion
Rising consumption in Tier II/III and rural markets, supported by fuel-station reach and last-mile availability
Government focus on infrastructure, manufacturing and economic growth, which supports petroleum product consumption
Refinery Complexity, Crude Flexibility and Margin Capture
Refining economics depend on crude procurement flexibility, refinery complexity, throughput, capacity utilisation and product yield. Complex refineries that can process heavy and varied crude grades are better placed to optimise crude cost and capture product cracks.
Key Drivers:
Nelson complexity, ability to process ultra-heavy/heavy crude and flexibility across crude grades
Refinery utilisation, operational availability, turnaround execution and asset reliability
Product yield optimisation towards high-margin light and middle distillates such as MS, HSD and ATF
Gross refining margins, diesel/petrol/ATF cracks and crude-product spreads
Trading capability, crude procurement strategy, shipping/logistics access and ability to manage volatile crude markets
Energy efficiency, process optimisation and maintenance discipline reducing operating cost per barrel
Fuel Retail, Institutional Sales and Petrochemical Integration
Downstream players can improve earnings resilience by combining refinery output with fuel retail, institutional/bulk sales and petrochemical integration. Retail scale supports recurring domestic placement, while petrochemicals can diversify the product mix beyond transportation fuels.
Key Drivers:
Fuel retail outlet count, throughput per outlet, highway presence, automation and digital payment convenience
Franchise/DODO economics, dealer relationships and expansion in high-growth corridors and Tier II/III markets
Institutional fuel demand from logistics, mining, infrastructure, agriculture, construction and industrial customers
Strategic partnerships with OMCs, bulk customers and trade partners improving product placement and supply reliability
Petrochemical capacity addition, polypropylene demand and crude-to-chemicals integration supporting diversification
Export and domestic product placement flexibility through trading, retail, institutional and OMC channels
Risks in the Industry
The industry remains exposed to sharp movements in crude prices, product cracks, foreign exchange, shipping costs, duties and regulations. Refining and fuel marketing businesses also require significant working capital and face risks from sanctions, trade-flow disruption and environmental compliance.
Key Drivers:
Crude price volatility, product crack movements and global refining margin cycles
Foreign exchange movement, freight/shipping availability, insurance, crude sourcing routes and counterparty exposure
Sanctions, geopolitical disruption, trade restrictions and changes in international crude/product flows
Domestic pricing actions, duties, taxes, environmental rules, safety requirements and emissions compliance costs
Working capital intensity from crude procurement, inventory holding, receivables, payables and margin volatility
Execution risk in large capex projects, refinery turnarounds, petrochemical expansion and biofuel/energy-transition initiatives
Government Policy Support
Domestic energy security priorities support investment in refining, fuel supply reliability, crude sourcing and logistics infrastructure
Infrastructure development, road transport growth and mobility expansion support long-term demand for refined products
Biofuel and ethanol blending priorities create adjacent opportunities for downstream energy companies
Petrochemical self-reliance and manufacturing growth support crude-to-chemicals expansion and downstream product diversification
Environmental, safety and emissions regulations require ongoing investment in compliance, energy efficiency and sustainability initiatives
