Engine oil maker Castrol India reported a 6.8% rise in first-quarter profit on Tuesday, boosted by new product launches and resilient demand for its automobile lubrication products. The company, in which oil major BP has a 51% stake, said profit after tax rose to 2.16 billion rupees (nearly $26 million) in the January-March quarter, from 2.03 billion rupees a year ago. A significant rise in sales of two-wheelers and passenger vehicles during the quarter along with steady demand from existing vehicles benefited Castrol, which derives more than 80% of its revenue from automobile lubricants.
India's benchmark indexes recently soared to record highs, buoyed by optimistic data from China and a favorable U.S. inflation report, signaling robust market sentiment and potential for growth across various sectors. In this climate, identifying dividend stocks like Gujarat State Fertilizers & Chemicals that offer both stability and potential income becomes even more pertinent for investors seeking to capitalize on the current market dynamics.
Engine oil maker Castrol India posted a nearly 4% rise in third-quarter profit on Monday on steady demand, while lower raw and packaging material costs helped. The Mumbai-based firm's profit after tax rose to 1.94 billion rupees ($23.31 million) in the three months ended Sept. 30 from 1.87 billion rupees, a year earlier. Crude oil prices declined, ranging between $75.4 and $97.69 a barrel in the quarter compared to the range of $83.65 and $114.75 a barrel in the year-ago quarter, helping Castrol India post a 1.3% fall in raw and packaging material costs.
