MRPL Q4 FY26 Results: PAT ₹116.99 Crore, Refinery Navigates West Asia Conflict Headwinds

Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Limited (MRPL) Q4 FY26 results show consolidated PAT of ₹116.99 crore, compressed by the West Asia conflict that drove crude oil price volatility and refinery margin pressure during January-March 2026. MRPL Q4 is a subsidiary of ONGC and operates a 15 MMTPA refinery at Mangalore, Karnataka.

MRPL Q4 gross refining margin (GRM), the primary profitability metric for refineries, was compressed as crude feedstock costs surged while product price gains lagged. MRPL Q4 Iran-US conflict escalation in February-March 2026 caused Brent Crude to spike, squeezing refinery spreads globally.

MRPL Q4 results should improve in FY27 if geopolitical tensions ease and crude prices normalise to the $80–90/barrel range. MRPL Q4 complexity advantages, its hydrocracking and delayed coking units, allow processing sour crude at discounted feedstock costs, which partially offsets the macro headwinds.
