CPCL reported its Q1 FY26 results, with crude throughput rising to 2.981 MMT from 2.830 MMT last year, achieving 114% capacity utilisation and a record-high distillate yield of around 80%. However, Revenue from Operations fell to ₹18,683 crore from ₹20,361 crore a year ago. The company slipped into a loss, reporting a Loss After Tax of ₹57 crore compared to a Profit After Tax of ₹343 crore in Q1 FY25. Gross Refining Margin halved to US$ 3.22 per barrel from US$ 6.33 per barrel, hurt by inventory losses of US$ 1.9 per barrel versus an inventory gain of US$ 1.1 per barrel last year. On a consolidated basis, the company posted a Loss After Tax of ₹40 crore versus a profit of ₹357 crore in the same quarter last year.
Despite strong operational metrics, weak refining margins and inventory losses pushed CPCL into a loss, which is likely to weigh negatively on investor sentiment and the stock price in the short term. Shareholders should note the sharp year-on-year decline in profitability despite higher throughput.
