BPCL, HPCL, IOC Shares Surge as Crude Falls Below $70; ONGC, Oil India Face Pressure

Shares of Indian oil marketing companies (OMCs) jumped on March 6 after Brent crude oil dropped below $70 per barrel, its lowest in 3 years. The decline boosted stocks of Bharat Petroleum Corporation (BPCL), Hindustan Petroleum Corporation (HPCL), and Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), which surged up to 5%.

BPCL shares rose 3.2% to ₹264.20, HPCL shares gained 4.8% to ₹342.30, and IOC shares climbed 3.7% to ₹126.75 on the BSE.

Crude Prices Drop as OPEC+ Plans to Raise Supply

Oil prices fell after OPEC+ announced it would gradually reverse voluntary production cuts. The alliance plans to add 2.2 million barrels per day (mbpd) over the next 2 years, partially restoring the 5.9 mbpd supply cut since 2022.

Currently, Brent crude is up 0.56% at $69.69 per barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude has gained 0.59% to $66.70 per barrel. Over the past 4 sessions, Brent has dropped 6.5%, reaching its lowest since December 2021, while WTI has fallen 5.8%, its weakest level since May 2023.

OMCs to Benefit from Higher Margins

Crude at $70 per barrel creates a “sweet spot” for OMCs, allowing them to earn higher marketing margins on petrol and diesel.

  • Diesel margins: ₹8 per litre
  • Petrol margins: ₹12 per litre

Reports suggest the government may offer an LPG subsidy of ₹20,000 crore.

Impact on ONGC, Oil India, and GAIL

For upstream producers, ONGC and Oil India, crude at $70-75 per barrel may result in a 6-9% earnings cut. However, their stocks have already corrected in anticipation of lower crude prices, limiting further downside.

  • Production update: ONGC’s oil production rose 1.5% YoY in January, supported by its KG 98/2 project, while Oil India’s gas production increased 7%. However, overall crude output grew only 1% YoY.

Meanwhile, GAIL may face challenges in its petrochemical and gas marketing business due to falling crude prices, as its earnings are linked to oil prices. Additionally, its U.S. LNG sales margins may be affected by stable Henry Hub gas prices at $4.4 per million British thermal units (mmbtu). 

Conclusion

Falling crude prices create profit opportunities for OMCs with higher margins. However, upstream producers like ONGC and Oil India may face earnings cuts in the near term.

Major Changes in TDS and TCS Rules from April 1, 2025

The Indian government has introduced several changes in the TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) and TCS (Tax Collected at Source) rules in Budget 2025. These changes, effective from April 1, aim to simplify tax compliance, reduce unnecessary deductions, and improve cash flow for individuals and businesses. Here’s a look at the key updates:

Higher TDS Limits for Interest, Rent, and Big Payments

TDS is deducted when you earn interest from banks, pay rent, or make large transactions. The new rules will increase TDS deduction limits, ensuring that unnecessary tax deductions do not affect cash flow. This change will help taxpayers by reducing frequent deductions and making tax payments smoother.

More Relief on Sending Money Abroad

If you send money abroad for education, family expenses, or other reasons, there is good news.

  • Previously, TCS was applicable on amounts above ₹7 lakh. Now, this limit has been raised to ₹10 lakh.
  • If the money is sent through an education loan, no TCS will be charged.
    This will significantly benefit students studying abroad and their families by reducing extra tax costs.

No TCS on Business Sales Over ₹50 Lakh

Earlier, businesses had to pay 0.1% TCS on sales exceeding ₹50 lakh. From April 1, 2025, this rule will be removed, leading to:

  • Better cash flow for traders.
  • Easier tax compliance for businesses with high sales volumes.

Lower TDS/TCS for Non-ITR Filers

Until now, individuals who did not file an Income Tax Return (ITR) had to pay a higher rate of TDS/TCS. The new budget removes this rule, providing relief to small businesses and common taxpayers who faced higher deductions earlier.

No Jail for Late TCS Deposits

Previously, failing to deposit TCS on time could result in jail terms ranging from 3 months to 7 years. This has now been removed.

  • If the due amount is deposited within the specified time, no legal action will be taken.
  • This ensures businesses don’t face severe penalties for minor delays.

Conclusion: Easier Tax Compliance & More Financial Relief

Budget 2025 has introduced several positive changes to make tax payments easier for individuals and businesses.

  • Taxpayers will face fewer unnecessary deductions.
  • Students and parents sending money abroad will get relief.
  • Businesses will benefit from improved cash flow and simpler tax rules.

Overall, these changes make tax compliance more straightforward and reduce financial stress for taxpayers.

EPFO’s New Rules: Minimum ₹50,000 Insurance for Short Service Tenure

The Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) has introduced key updates to the Employees’ Deposit Linked Insurance (EDLI) scheme. These changes were approved during the 237th meeting of the Central Board of Trustees (CBT), led by Union Labor Minister Mansukh Mandaviya. Additionally, CBT has recommended an 8.25% annual interest rate for EPF subscribers.

Key Changes in the EDLI Scheme

  • Minimum Insurance for Short Service Tenure

EPF members who pass away before completing a full year of continuous service will now receive a minimum life insurance benefit of ₹50,000. This update is expected to help over 5,000 families annually in cases of in-service deaths.

  • Eligibility After a Non-Contributory Period

Previously, if an EPF member died after a gap in contributions, their family was denied EDLI benefits. Now, if a member passes away within 6 months of their last contribution and remains on the employer’s rolls, their family will receive the EDLI benefit. This change is set to benefit over 14,000 families each year.

  • Recognition of Service Continuity

Earlier, even a short gap between jobs, such as weekends or holidays, led to the denial of EDLI benefits due to the one-year continuous service rule. The revised rules now allow a gap of up to 2 months between jobs to be considered as continuous service. This ensures EDLI benefits between ₹2.5 lakh and ₹7 lakh for eligible employees, benefiting over 1,000 families annually.

Other Important Updates

  • Higher Pension Applications

EPFO has processed 72% of applications following the Supreme Court’s ruling on higher pension eligibility.

  • Centralised Pension Payment System (CPPS)

From January 2025, pension payments will be made through a centralised account at SBI’s New Delhi branch. This will speed up processing and reduce delays for 69.35 lakh pensioners.

  • Lower Penalties for Late PF Payments

To reduce legal disputes, EPFO has set a standard penalty of 1% per month for delayed PF contributions.

These updates aim to provide better financial security to EPF members and their families while ensuring smoother pension and PF processes.

Conclusion

The new EPFO rules enhance financial security for EPF members and their families, ensuring better insurance coverage, faster pension processing, and streamlined PF payments.

Nifty Metal Index Sees Biggest 1-Day Gain in 2 Months – Here’s Why

Indian metal stocks saw strong buying on March 5, driven by China’s decision to keep its 2025 growth target at 5%, the same as last year. Investors were also encouraged by China’s latest stimulus measures to support economic growth amid ongoing trade tensions with the U.S. This led to a surge in metal prices and increased optimism about demand staying strong.

Nifty Metal Index Surges 3%

In response, the Nifty Metal index jumped 3% in intraday trade, reaching 8,600, its best one-day gain since January 14.

All 15 stocks in the index traded higher, with Hindustan Copper leading the rally, gaining 5.2%. Other top gainers included:

  • Welspun Corp, Jindal Stainless, Adani Enterprises, APL Apollo Tubes, Vedanta, and Tata Steel, which rose over 3%.
  • NALCO, SAIL, JSW Steel, NMDC, Hindalco Industries, Jindal Steel & Power, Hindustan Zinc, and Ratnamani Metals & Tubes, which gained between 1% and 2.7%.

China’s Economic Growth Plan

China, the world’s second-largest economy and biggest consumer of metals set a 5% GDP growth target for 2025. To support this goal, the government announced a fiscal stimulus, raising the budget deficit to 4%, the highest since 2010. This move aims to tackle key issues such as:

  • Weak consumer demand
  • High youth unemployment
  • Property sector debt crisis

China has been implementing monetary and fiscal measures, including:

  • Interest rate cuts
  • Lower down payments for home loans
  • Increased government spending

These steps are expected to revive the economy in 2024 and support demand for metals.

Trade Tensions Between the U.S. and China

The metal rally also comes amid rising trade tensions between China and the U.S.

  • U.S. Tariffs: Donald Trump raised tariffs to 20% on Chinese imports starting March 5.
  • China’s Response: On March 10, China will impose additional tariffs of up to 15% on U.S. agricultural products like chicken, pork, soy, and beef.

Earlier, China retaliated against U.S. sanctions by:

  • Increasing duties on U.S. energy imports
  • Restricting U.S. companies from operating in China

Conclusion

China’s economic support measures and rising trade tensions have fueled optimism in the metal sector, leading to a strong rally in Indian metal stocks. With China remaining committed to economic growth and infrastructure development, metal demand is expected to stay strong in the near future.

Adani Power Share Price Rise for Third Straight Session: Gain 4.82% to ₹506.55

Adani Power’s share price surged over 4% on Wednesday, marking its third consecutive session of gains. The stock climbed as much as 4.66% to ₹506.10 on the BSE.

Strong Financial Position

Adani Power has successfully resolved long-standing disputes related to its power purchase agreements (PPAs). Legal victories, renegotiated PPAs to reduce fuel risks, and securing coal at competitive rates have strengthened the company’s position.

The company’s financial health has improved through debt reduction and promoter fund infusion. Extra cash generated was used to repay external debt, creating room for future growth. Adani Power is now expanding through acquisitions and new projects.

Growth Strategy and Expansion

Adani Power has acquired struggling coal-based power plants at attractive prices and turned them profitable due to a demand-supply mismatch. The company has also placed orders for 11GW of new coal-based power plants.

With a rise in merchant power prices, Adani Power is securing long-term PPAs for its new capacities. It has already tied up around 3GW of capacity at competitive rates. 

With past challenges resolved and expansion plans in motion, Adani Power is well-positioned for future growth.

About Adani Power

Adani Power, a subsidiary of the Adani Group, is an Indian multinational company in the power and energy sector. Headquartered in Khodiyar, Ahmedabad, it is a leading private thermal power producer with a total capacity of 15,250 MW. The company also operates a 40 MW mega solar plant in Naliya, Bitta, Kutch, Gujarat.

As of 1:24 PM IST on March 5, Adani Power share price stood at ₹506.55, up ₹23.30 or 4.82% for the day. The stock opened at ₹484.00 and reached a high of ₹507.70, while the low for the day was ₹484.00. Adani Power has a market capitalisation of ₹1.95 lakh crore and a P/E ratio of 15.01. The stock’s 52-week high is ₹895.85, while its 52-week low is ₹432.00.

Conclusion

With resolved legal issues, improved financial health, and strategic expansions, Adani Power is well-positioned for long-term growth, with a 24% upside potential.

Sensex Surges 550 Points, Nifty 50 Crosses 22,200 on March 05, 2025: 5 Key Reasons Behind Market Rally

After nearly 3 weeks of continuous declines, the Indian stock market witnessed a strong rebound on Wednesday. The Nifty 50 opened slightly lower at 22,073 but quickly gained momentum, reaching an intraday high of 22,375 with a jump of over 250 points. Similarly, the BSE Sensex opened at 73,005 and climbed to 73,848, gaining nearly 850 points before retracing slightly. The Bank Nifty also showed strength, rising to 48,657 after opening at 48,241.

The broader market also experienced strong buying, with the BSE Small-cap and Mid-cap indices rising by over 2% in early trading.

Short Covering by FIIs Boosts Market Sentiment

The rally can be attributed to short covering, as FIIs had built up significant short positions during the market’s prolonged decline. As investors look to book profits, they are now covering these positions, leading to a sharp rise in stock prices. This short-covering rally has provided much-needed relief to the market after several days of weakness.

US Dollar Hits a Three-Month Low

The weakening of the US dollar has played a key role in driving FIIs back into the Indian stock market. The dollar index has dropped to its lowest level since December 2024, trading near 105.50. With the American currency weakening, foreign investors are shifting funds from the US market to emerging markets like India.

Decline in US Bond Yields Supports Equities

Despite a slight rise in US treasury yields on Wednesday, bond yields have generally seen some selling in recent sessions. A decline in bond yields makes equities a more attractive investment option, prompting investors to re-enter the stock market. This shift in investment preference is another reason for the strong buying of Indian stocks.

Renewed Concerns Over US Inflation

Market analysts believe that concerns over US inflation overshadow fears about Donald Trump’s trade policies. If US inflation rises due to potential tariffs and other economic factors, the US Federal Reserve may take a more aggressive stance on interest rates. This shift in focus has helped stabilise investor sentiment, as markets tend to adjust to political developments over time.

Reduced Fear of Trump’s Tariff Policies

The initial panic over Trump’s tariff statements appears to have subsided, as markets have largely factored in the impact of his trade policies. Analysts suggest that if Trump’s trade policies lead to a severe stock market correction in the US, he may be forced to rethink his stance. This expectation has reduced uncertainty and brought back some stability to the markets.

Stock Market Outlook

The Nifty 50 needs to decisively move above the 22,500 level to establish a stable upward trend. Similarly, the Bank Nifty must break past 49,200 to confirm a strong rally in the coming sessions. The Sensex has immediate support at 73,000, and if it falls below this level, the next crucial support is at 72,000. A close above 74,500 will strengthen the positive outlook for the market.

The Indian stock market is rebounding due to short covering, a weaker US dollar, and fading concerns over Trump’s trade policies. Future market direction will depend on global economic trends, especially US inflation and interest rate policies.

Conclusion

The Indian stock market’s rebound is driven by short covering, a weaker US dollar, and reduced fears over Trump’s trade policies. However, sustained gains depend on global trends, including US inflation and interest rate decisions. A breakout above key resistance levels will confirm a stronger upward trend.
