Financial profiles of oil marketing firms may be at risk in near to medium term: Fitch

26 Apr 2019 Evaluate

Expressing worries, credit rating agency, Fitch Ratings in its latest report has said that financial profiles of state-owned oil marketing companies (OMCs) may be at risk in near to medium term, on the back of government’s pressure to increase shareholder returns.

The rating agency underlined the details of dividends declared by oil marketing companies, noting that Bharat Petroleum Corporation (BPCL) and Oil India (OIL) declared high interim dividends of 67.5 per cent to 110 per cent of the face value of their shares, and undertook share buybacks in the financial year ended March 31, 2019.

Further, Fitch does not foresee any significant impact on OMCs' financial profiles on account of fuel price controls. It expects the OMCs to make up the losses in the subsequent period during the year in such an event. The rating agency believes OMCs will continue to revise prices daily to reflect the market prices over the medium term.
