State-owned fuel retailers Indian Oil Corporation, Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd reported bumper profit totalling over Rs 69,000 crore in the first nine months of the current fiscal which far exceeded their annual earning in pre-oil crisis years. The combined net profit of IOC, BPCL and HPCL in April-December FY24 was better than their annual earning of Rs 39,356 crore in pre-oil crisis year, regulatory filings by them showed.

State-owned Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL) on Monday reported an 82 per cent jump in its December quarter net profit on the back of higher-than-expected refining margins and a rise in margins on fuel sales. Its consolidated net profit of Rs 3,181.42 crore in October-December - the third quarter of the current fiscal year, stated on April 1, 2023 - compares to Rs 1,747.01 crore earnings in the same period of the previous financial year, according to a company statement. Its profit was, however, lower than Rs 8,243.55 crore earnings in the preceding quarter (July-September 2023).
