Oil India and ONGC performance analyzed amid West Asia crude price surge
What happened
Both Oil India and ONGC benefited from sharp global crude and gas price increases resulting from the West Asia conflict. Despite operating under similar conditions, ONGC has significantly underperformed Oil India over the past three months. Kotak Institutional Equities expects Oil India to have a better near-term earnings outlook, largely due to stronger expected crude oil volume growth in FY2027.

Why it matters
The earnings growth for both companies is primarily being driven by higher oil and gas prices. The performance divergence between the two companies is notable, as they face the same royalty framework and sell crude at similar import-parity-linked prices.
Elevated crude oil prices are driving a rally in upstream companies amid escalating tensions in West Asia.
