ONGC Q1 FY27 Results: Net Profit Jumps 112% on Gas Price Gains
ONGC delivered the standout number among today’s Q1 results. Standalone net profit more than doubled to Rs 17,034 crore in Q1 FY27, as revenue from operations climbed 45.2% YoY to Rs 46,460 crore.
| Metric (Standalone) | Q1 FY27 | YoY Change |
|---|---|---|
| Net Profit | Rs 17,034 crore | +112% |
| Revenue from Operations | Rs 46,460 crore | +45.2% |
| New Well Gas Revenue | Rs 3,998 crore | — |
New well gas, priced at a premium to the government-administered price mechanism (APM), generated Rs 1,897 crore in additional revenue and now accounts for roughly 38% of ONGC’s nomination gas portfolio revenue.
The consolidated picture was far weaker: ONGC’s consolidated net profit fell 43.3%, dragged down by subsidiary HPCL, which posted a consolidated net loss of Rs 12,265 crore on under-recoveries after crude prices spiked from the West Asia crisis, a reminder that ONGC’s upstream gains can be offset by downstream pressure within the same group.
Ahead of the results, Motilal Oswal had upgraded ONGC to Buy with a target of Rs 288, citing cheap valuations and raised Brent assumptions of $84.2/$75 a barrel for FY27/FY28. Broader brokerage coverage tracked by Trendlyne pegs the average one-year target near Rs 310, against a stock trading around Rs 241, meaningful headroom if crude realisations hold up.

United Breweries Q1 Results: Profit Falls 9.6% Despite Volume Growth
UBL, the Heineken-controlled beer major, was the other major name among today’s Q1 results. Consolidated net profit declined 9.64% to Rs 166.28 crore, down from Rs 184.03 crore a year earlier, even as revenue rose 10% to Rs 5,919.44 crore.
| Metric (Consolidated) | Q1 FY27 | YoY Change |
|---|---|---|
| Net Profit | Rs 166.28 crore | -9.64% |
| Revenue from Operations | Rs 5,919.44 crore | +10% |
| Sell-in Volumes | — | +9% |
| Sell-out Volumes | — | +13% |
Sell-in volumes rose 9% and sell-out volumes 13%, even as UBL deliberately cut inventory levels by 20% to improve cash flow. Premiumisation stayed a bright spot: premium volumes grew 17% (excluding two states where the company scaled back due to the West Asia-linked cost impact), with Heineken Silver up 28% and Kingfisher Ultra up 11%.
Management flagged an incremental Rs 400-500 crore cost headwind over the next two-to-three quarters (roughly half already has mitigation plans) and guided for FY27 volume growth of 6-7% with double-digit revenue growth.
Domestic brokerage Nirmal Bang has maintained Buy on UBL with a target of Rs 2,250; broader analyst consensus has pegged the target near Rs 2,240, both implying any re-rating hinges on margin recovery ahead, not this print.

Nifty, Sensex Open Higher as RBI Holds Rates at 5.25%
The RBI’s Monetary Policy Committee kept the repo rate unchanged at 5.25% on Wednesday, the fourth straight pause, and retained its neutral stance. The SDF rate stays at 5%, while the MSF and Bank Rate remain at 5.5%. Governor Sanjay Malhotra said the continuing West Asia conflict has disrupted trade routes and supply chains, increased volatility and weakened business sentiment, with global growth expected to slow and inflation likely to stay elevated through 2026.
Equity benchmarks opened in positive territory ahead of the announcement, brushing aside a heavy Q1 results today calendar.
The Nifty50 opened at 24,669.20, up 54.30 points (0.22%), while the Sensex jumped 626 points (0.79%) to 79,055.38. Sentiment was helped by Brent crude slipping to $79.02/barrel and US crude to $75.35, after US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Washington and Tehran could reach a deal soon.
Asian markets rallied in sympathy, KOSPI up nearly 4.5%, Nikkei surging over 3.35%. Early Nifty gainers included IndiGo, Larsen & Toubro, Bajaj Finance, Mahindra & Mahindra and Wipro.
FII-DII Flows and What They Mean for Nifty
FIIs turned net buyers, purchasing Rs 2,446.47 crore worth of Indian equities on August 4, while DIIs were net sellers to the tune of Rs 936.14 crore, per provisional data. The reversal in FII flows, alongside a dovish-but-steady RBI and softening crude, adds a supportive backdrop for the Nifty even as today’s heavy Q1 results calendar keeps stock-specific volatility elevated.

NiftyTrader Desk View
Today’s Q1 results underline how uneven this earnings season has become. ONGC’s 112% profit jump shows upstream players capturing the benefit of higher crude and gas realisations, while HPCL’s Rs 12,265 crore consolidated loss shows downstream oil marketing companies absorbing the pain of the same crude spike, a split likely to repeat across the energy chain this quarter.
United Breweries’ miss, despite double-digit volume growth, is a reminder that revenue momentum alone isn’t enough when input and mitigation costs are rising faster than pricing power.
With 130+ companies among today’s Q1 results, we’d watch management commentary on crude assumptions, premiumisation and cost guidance more closely than the headline profit or loss numbers, that’s where the next leg of stock-specific moves will come from.

FAQs
Which major companies are part of Q1 results today, August 5, 2026?
More than 130 companies are due to report, including Aurobindo Pharma, Biocon, PB Fintech, Cummins India, Power Grid Corporation of India, JK Lakshmi Cement, Berger Paints India and Bikaji Foods International, along with ONGC and United Breweries, which have already announced results.
Why did ONGC’s net profit jump 112% in Q1 FY27?
Mainly on higher revenue from new well gas, which carries a pricing premium over the government-administered rate, alongside a 45.2% YoY jump in revenue from operations.
Did the RBI cut interest rates in the August 2026 MPC meeting?
No. The RBI kept the repo rate unchanged at 5.25% for the fourth consecutive meeting, retaining a neutral stance amid West Asia-related uncertainty.
Why did United Breweries’ profit fall despite revenue growth?
Consolidated net profit fell 9.64% to Rs 166.28 crore even as revenue rose 10%, largely due to higher costs and margin pressure linked to the West Asia conflict, plus a deliberate 20% cut in inventory levels.
