    ONGC Q2 Results: Profit falls  20% YoY to Rs 10,216 crore on lower oil pricesAgencies
    Oil and Natural Gas Corp’s (ONGC) profit fell 20% year-on-year in the July-September quarter to Rs 10,216 crore on lower oil prices and production.

    The gas price, however, rose 6.6% to $6.5 per mmbtu, aiding the quarterly profit. Crude oil prices have been volatile due to geopolitical tensions, the OPEC+ supply cut decision, and conflicting global demand signals. An artificial supply curb by OPEC+ has kept oil prices high, helping producers like ONGC to reap large profits.

    The company has declared a dividend of Rs 5.75 per equity share.
