ONGC Q4 Results 2026 LIVE: Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Ltd (ONGC) to Announce Quarterly Results Today
The board of directors of Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Ltd (ONGC), the largest state-run oil and gas explorer and producer in the country, is scheduled to meet on 26 May 2026, to approve the financial results for the quarter and financial year ended 31 March 2026. The meeting is expected to include a recommendation for a final dividend, if any, for the Financial Year ended 31st March, 2026.
Strong Earnings Growth Expected
Analysts anticipate that ONGC will report strong earnings growth in the fourth quarter of FY26 on a year-on-year (YoY) basis, driven by higher oil realizations. This is due to the significant increase in crude oil prices during the quarter, following disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint that facilitates around 20% of global oil supply.
