Crude will become more expensive now!
Last Monday, Brickwork Ratings issued a serious warning on crude oil for the second half of the financial year 2026-27 (FY27) amid rising geopolitical tensions in West Asia.
According to the report, in a 'base-case scenario' (55% probability), the average price of Brent crude oil is expected to be between $95 and $110 per barrel during the second half of FY27. In a high-risk scenario, prices could jump to record levels, reaching $120 per barrel.
According to a recent report by rating agency ICRA, even at the current increased oil prices, oil companies (OMCs) are incurring a loss (under-recovery) of about Rs 300 per domestic cylinder.
If crude oil prices reach between $115 and $125 per barrel, oil companies' annual losses on domestic LPG could rise to ₹1.21 lakh crore. Oil companies cannot sustain these losses on their own for long.
