Prayesh Jain, analyst at IIFL told CNBC-TV18, "Bharat Petroleum Corporation (BPCL) has been our top pick for pretty long period of time. It is the best company or best oil marketing company (OMC) in terms of financial management as well as operational performance and along with it has prolific exploration and production (E&P) portfolio and especially in Mozambique where Anadarko has raised the reserve estimates, that would add substantial value to BPCL from FY18 in terms of revenue and earnings. So, although it is a long drawn but there is more value to come from the blogs like Brazil as well. So, BPCL remains our top pick there."
