While GRMs remain subdued at ~USD3/bbl, benign crude oil prices are expected to keep GMMs strong. We build in a GRM of USD4.7/5/6/bbl forFY25/26/27E. On the marketing front, we build in a GMM of Rs6.5/4.8/4.8/lit for FY25/26/27E.

Due to correction in stock price combined with strength in GMMs and compensation of LPG underrecoveries, we upgrade the stock from ‘Reduce’ to ‘Accumulate’ rating on the stock with a TP of Rs152 (earlier TP Rs138) based on 1.0x FY27E P/BV.
