BPCL reports a 36.85% increase in Q3 FY25 net profit, reaching ₹4649 crore, with strong refining margins and a robust marketing segment. An interim dividend of ₹5 per share was also announced.
Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL), one of India’s leading oil and gas companies, has reported strong financial performance for the quarter ending December 2025. The company posted a 36.85% year-on-year increase in its net profit, which stood at ₹4649 crore for the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, compared to ₹3397.27 crore during the same period last year.
BPCL’s revenues from operations during Q3 FY25 amounted to ₹1,27,520.50 crore, slightly lower than the ₹1,29,946.95 crore reported in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. Despite this slight dip in revenue, analysts attribute the increase in net profit to higher refining margins, driven by the rising prices of gasoline, jet fuel, and fuel oil. Moreover, BPCL’s robust marketing margins further contributed to its strong performance in Q3 FY25.

On a sequential basis, BPCL’s net profit nearly doubled from ₹2,397.23 crore in the previous quarter (ending September 2024), signaling significant improvement in the company’s operational performance.
