₹1 Final Dividend: ONGC Sets September 4, 2026, as Record Date

This follows the board's recommendation made on May 26, 2026, and remains subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting. With a TTM EPS of ₹32.93, this specific final payout is a small fraction of total annual earnings, as the company typically distributes multiple interim dividends throughout the year.

112% Standalone PAT Surge to ₹17,034 Cr; HPCL Loss Drags Consolidated Performance
ONGC reported a robust 112.3% YoY increase in standalone net profit to ₹17,034 crore for Q1 FY27, driven by a 50.4% rise in crude oil realizations to $99.45/bbl. However, consolidated net profit fell 43.3% to ₹6,554 crore, severely impacted by a ₹12,265 crore loss at subsidiary HPCL due to petroleum product under-recoveries. Standalone production volumes saw a slight decline to 9.444 MMT (O+OEG) from 9.779 MMT YoY, attributed to reservoir complexities and project delays. The company is currently executing a massive ₹40,000 crore capital investment program in Western offshore to arrest production declines.
Confidence: HIGH
What changedONGC's standalone profitability has significantly improved due to higher realizations and new gas pricing, but consolidated earnings are now facing headwinds from subsidiary under-recoveries.
Why it mattersThe results highlight the dual impact of high crude prices: a boon for ONGC's upstream realizations but a significant burden on its downstream subsidiary HPCL, creating volatility in consolidated earnings.
Standalone Net Profit: ₹17,034 crHPCL Net Loss: ₹12,265 crWestern Offshore Capex: ₹40,000 crCapex vs Net Worth: ~12.05%New Well Gas Revenue: ₹3,998 crCrude Realization (Nominated): $99.45/bbl
📅 Short termThe stock may face mixed sentiment as the market weighs the exceptional standalone performance against the heavy consolidated drag from HPCL's losses.
📈 Long termLong-term value depends on the successful reversal of production declines through the ₹40,000 crore capex and deepwater exploration successes in the Mahanadi basin.
⚠ Risk flags
- Subsidiary under-recoveries at HPCL
- Declining production in aging standalone fields
- Reservoir complexities in KG-98/2 offshore assets
Key Highlights
Standalone Net Profit surged 112.3% YoY to ₹17,034 crore in Q1 FY27.
Crude oil price realization (nominated) rose 50.4% to $99.45/bbl compared to $66.13/bbl in Q1 FY26.
New well gas price increased 61.5% to $13.31/mmbtu, now contributing 38% of nomination gas revenue.
Consolidated PAT was weighed down by HPCL's net loss of ₹12,265 crore due to West Asia crisis-led crude spikes.
Ongoing capital investment of over ₹40,000 crore in Western offshore projects to unlock future production.
👀 What to Watch
Investors should monitor the stabilization of downstream margins at HPCL and the execution progress of the ₹40,000 crore Western offshore projects, which are critical for reversing the current production decline trend by FY 2027-28.
ONGC Reports Rs 15,365 Cr Contingent Liability in Q1 FY27 Results; Takes Control of CB-OS/2 Block
ONGC's Board approved Q1 FY27 results directly as the Audit Committee remains vacant due to a lack of Independent Directors. The filing reveals a significant contingent liability of Rs 15,365 Crore (USD 1.62 billion) regarding the PMT JV arbitration, representing ~31% of TTM PAT. Operationally, ONGC took control of the CB-OS/2 offshore block on July 22, 2026, following a Delhi High Court order, though the decision is currently being challenged by Vedanta Ltd. The company also faces disputed tax and GST liabilities totaling Rs 9,134 Crore.
Confidence: HIGH
What changedApproval of Q1 FY27 financial results and the formal takeover of the CB-OS/2 block from Vedanta following a government directive and court order.
Why it mattersThe contingent liabilities (totaling over Rs 24,000 Cr) are substantial compared to the TTM PAT of Rs 49,793 Cr, posing a potential balance sheet risk. The takeover of the CB-OS/2 block consolidates ONGC's domestic E&P footprint but remains legally contested.

This marks a critical milestone in the 'Samudra Manthan' campaign, targeting India's deepwater hydrocarbon potential estimated at over 5,600 MMTOE. The well is located 23 nautical miles off the Odisha coast, building on previous discoveries like Utkal and Konark. While exploration is capital-intensive and high-risk, successful results are vital for sustaining ONGC's TTM revenue of Rs 6,62,247 Cr and reducing national import reliance.
Confidence: HIGH
What changedONGC has transitioned from seismic data analysis to active physical drilling in the deepwater Mahanadi basin.

ONGC Completes 2 Deep Geothermal Wells at Puga, Ladakh for India's First Geothermal Project
ONGC has successfully completed two deep geothermal wells (GT#02 and GT#03) at Puga, Ladakh, marking a milestone for India's first demonstration-scale geothermal power project. The project is a joint initiative with the UT Administration of Ladakh and LAHDC-Leh, under a five-year collaboration renewed in June 2026. While the immediate financial impact is negligible compared to ONGC's TTM revenue of ₹6,62,247 cr, it demonstrates the company's technical capability in non-conventional energy. This move aligns with ONGC's strategy to diversify into renewables through ONGC Green Ltd and improve its ESG profile.
Confidence: HIGH
What changedONGC has moved from the exploration/drilling phase to the successful completion of two critical wells for its geothermal project in Ladakh.
Why it mattersIt establishes ONGC's leadership in a new renewable energy vertical (geothermal) and supports its long-term decarbonization goals, though it remains a very small portion of its ₹3,64,656 cr market cap business.

📈 Long termProvides a structural template for geothermal energy in India; however, its contribution to the bottom line will remain limited until scaled significantly beyond demonstration levels.
⚠ Risk flags
- Execution risks in extreme high-altitude terrain
- High cost of geothermal technology compared to solar/wind
- Project is currently at demonstration scale
Key Highlights
Successful completion of 2 deep geothermal wells designated as GT#02 and GT#03
5-year collaboration agreement renewed in June 2026 with Ladakh authorities
Project serves as India's first demonstration-scale geothermal power initiative
Aims to provide 24/7 clean energy to remote areas, reducing dependence on conventional fuels
Supports ONGC's ESG rating improvement from 58 in FY2024 to 61 in FY2025
