As per the brokerage analyst Motilal Oswal Financial Services, the expected negative stock price reaction for OMCs near term gives the chance of the retail price cut fueled by the recent elevated Brent crude prices of $85/bbl.
As the impact of the Red Sea crisis on crude oil and refining GRMs is somehow mitigated it is believed that marketing margins can again, even after the price cut recover above Rs 3 per liter. There is no relief expected from the government while OMCs are supposed to be solely responsible for the price cut.
