India’s state fuel retailers posted ₹74,781 crore in Q1 retail losses, Oil Minister Puri says
India’s oil minister Hardeep Singh Puri said state-run fuel retailers booked ₹74,781 crore in retail losses in Q1 as they continued to sell fuel made from higher-cost crude bought earlier. Brent was trading near $70 a barrel on Thursday, down 26% in a month and nearly 40% below its April high, but Puri gave no clear signal of an immediate retail price cut. He said a reduction is possible if crude prices remain steady for a while, according to Reuters. Puri also said no Indian refiner had directly exported petrol to Russia, though traders may have shipped Indian-made fuel there.

Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles said Jaguar Land Rover’s Q1 FY27 retail sales fell 15.3% year on year to 80,000 units, citing temporary supply disruptions tied to Middle East conflict-related market disruption and a fire at a key component supplier. Wholesale volumes declined 9.2%, with sharper drops in China, Europe and overseas markets. The company said the impact was temporary and that it will report April–June quarter financial results in August. Tata Motors PV shares have fallen 13% over the past month and have struggled to rebound after hitting a 52-week low.
