In line with its peers, Oil marketing company (OMC), Bharat Petroleum Corporation (BPCL) could record robust performance for the quarter ended December 31, 2021. Higher prices of Brent crude and healthy demand could aid both gross refining margins or GRMs as well as volumes for the OMCs. Price hikes will aid marketing margins in the quarter even as volumes could grow at a healthy pace on a sequential basis. Lower price hikes in domestic LPG though could have some impact on the results.

BPCL’s GRMs are estimated to come in at US$6.5/bbl.
