Brokerage house advised to sell shares
Brokerage firm Prabhudas Lilladher, in its report issued on oil and gas, has advised investors to sell shares of HPCL, BPCL and Indian Oil. They believe that the GMM of oil marketing companies will reduce to Rs 5 per liter on petrol and Rs 1 per liter on diesel.
Crude oil prices remain at risk
Pramudas Leeladhar said in his report that fuel prices have been reduced in view of the big elections. Oil marketing companies have reduced the prices of petrol and diesel by Rs 2 per liter. According to Pramudas Leeladhar, he believes that true deregulation will be possible only when fuel prices are in his favor. This thinking is also because the current global political risk continues which is giving rise to uncertainty in crude oil prices.
