Capital Expenditure Plans

Yes

Current capex for FY 2027 is guided to be below INR 9,700 crores, possibly lower due to cash conservation efforts.
First quarter FY 2027 capex was about INR 1,700 crores, mainly on essential items like turnarounds and cylinder purchases.
Most major refinery capex has been completed; remaining projects are ongoing but manageable.
Discretionary and administrative expenditures can be postponed if necessary without starving critical spend.
HPCL is focused on tightly managing and prioritizing capex in the short term.
Strategic shift includes moving towards fundamental changes like new product launches (e.g., Navya Gas) and branded fuels that will show results in 2–3 years.
Emphasis on supply chain digital optimization tools, refinery yield improvements (RTOs and APCs), and cost-consciousness programs (Samriddhi 2.0) for profitability and efficiency gains.
