The results reinforce that price, not volumes, is driving cash generation for producers and highlight how geopolitical risk is feeding into energy complex risk premia in the near term.

Oil and Natural Gas Corporation reported net profit of 170.34 billion rupees (about $1.8 billion) for the quarter ended June, more than doubling from a year earlier and beating expectations. Revenue rose 45% year on year to 464.60 billion rupees. The gain was driven by a near-50% jump in average Brent prices amid tighter Persian Gulf supply linked to the U.S.-Iran war, alongside a weaker rupee. Output fell 3.4%, but per-barrel earnings increased 50.4% and profits from newer deepwater acreage surged 61.5%.
