For the first half of FY27, the ONGC subsidiary posted standalone net profit of Rs 2,796 crore against Rs 367 crore in the year-ago period, with half-year revenue at Rs 77,199 crore versus Rs 46,942 crore.

Dividend and rating firsts

The board, which approved the results on October 14, declared a first interim dividend of Rs 3 per equity share of Rs 10 face value - 30 per cent - for FY27. The record date for the dividend is October 21, 2026.

During the quarter, MRPL also secured its first-ever international credit rating, with Fitch Ratings assigning a 'BBB-' rating with a stable outlook - at par with India's sovereign rating.
