The company returned to profitability in Q2FY27, after reporting a loss of ₹12,264.67 crore in Q1FY27, supported by healthy marketing margins after the retail fuel prices were hiked by a cumulative ₹7 in May 2026.
During the quarter, HPCL's consolidated revenue from sale of products rose 26% to ₹1.38 lakh crore in Q2FY27 against ₹1.09 lakh crore in Q2FY26. Total income for the quarter under review also rose by 25.8% to ₹1.39 lakh crore against ₹1.11 lakh crore in Q2FY26.

For the first half of FY27, however, the company reported a loss of ₹8,639.45 crore, compared with a profit of ₹7,970 crore in April-September FY26, on the back of crude oil prices surpassing $100 per barrel due to the West Asia war. This squeezed the company's marketing margins.
"During April-September 2026, due to the suppressed marketing margins on certain petroleum products, the profitability is impacted," the company said in a regulatory filing.
