Big Day for Earnings: ONGC, IndiGo, Mankind Pharma, NALCO, Colgate & Oil India Share Their Q4 Report Cards

Today is a busy day on the stock market as six major companies — ONGC, IndiGo, Mankind Pharma, NALCO, Colgate, and Oil India — are revealing how they performed in the last quarter (January to March 2025). These results give us a peek into how different sectors like energy, airlines, pharma, and consumer goods are doing. Here’s a quick and simple breakdown of what to expect from each company.

ONGC: Big Profits Thanks to Oil Prices

Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) is expected to show a solid jump in profits. The company is likely to post a profit of around ₹11,500 crore — nearly 78% higher than what it made last year in the same quarter. That’s mainly because global crude oil prices have gone up and the Indian rupee has weakened, both of which helped ONGC earn more. There’s also news that ONGC might give a final dividend of ₹2.50 per share.

IndiGo: Strong Growth but Engine Issues Still a Worry

IndiGo, India’s largest airline, is expected to post solid revenue growth — somewhere between ₹21,000 crore to ₹22,700 crore. That’s up to 27% more than what it made last year during the same period. This is mostly because more people are flying again and planes are operating with more passengers on board. However, the airline is still facing problems due to grounded planes caused by issues with Pratt & Whitney engines. That could hurt its performance a bit.

Mankind Pharma: Impressive Profit Rise

Mankind Pharma is likely to report strong numbers this time. Profit is expected to jump by 62% compared to last year, hitting around ₹477 crore. Sales are also expected to go up by 19% to around ₹2,441 crore. This strong growth is thanks to higher demand for its medicines and smart cost-cutting by the company. All in all, it’s looking like a strong quarter for Mankind.

NALCO: Profit Might Dip Due to Higher Costs

Things may not be as bright for National Aluminium Company (NALCO). Even though its revenue is likely to remain steady, profits could fall due to rising costs of raw materials and lower aluminum prices in the global market. Investors will be watching closely to see how NALCO plans to control these costs going forward.

Colgate: Stable Performance, Nothing Flashy

Colgate-Palmolive is expected to show a steady, but not spectacular, quarter. The company, known for its toothpaste and other personal care products, is likely to report modest growth in both sales and profits. Demand has stayed steady, but with competition heating up, Colgate might need to try new strategies to keep growing.

Oil India: Profit Up and Bonus Shares on the Way

Oil India is expected to post a profit of about ₹2,333 crore — 18% more than the same time last year. Revenue is also expected to go up by 16%, reaching around ₹10,375 crore. The company is also planning to reward its shareholders with bonus shares. A 1:2 bonus means that for every two shares you own, you’ll get one extra — something investors always welcome.
