Speaking of stock markets, Tata Motors has now gone past Maruti Suzuki to emerge as India's most valuable auto manufacturer.

From a loss of Rs 287 bn in FY19, perhaps its highest ever, Tata Motors has earned record profits of Rs 157 bn in the trailing twelve-month period. And it is this turnaround that has led to investors warming up to the stock and turning it into a 12-bagger since its March 20 lows.

However, when it comes to fundamental parameters like profitability, return ratios and balance sheet strength, Maruti is comfortably ahead of Tata Motors.

Why is it then Tata Motors enjoys nearly the same valuation as Maruti? Why is Mr Market considering Tata Motors at par with Maruti?

Co-head of Research, Rahul Shah answers this in below video.

ONGC Q3 Results

Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) posted a decline of around 8% in consolidated net profit at Rs 107.5 bn in the December quarter of the financial year 2023-24.

The oil and gas exploration giant reported a 2.2% decrease in revenue from operations for the third quarter of the current fiscal year, amounting to Rs 1,655.7 bn. This is in contrast to the Rs 1,692.1 bn recorded in the same period of the previous year.

ONGC also declared the second interim dividend of Rs 4 per share, which will be paid to eligible shareholders on or before 10 March 2024.

In the third quarter, the company's total crude oil production slipped 3.3% from last year at 5.2 million metric tonnes (MMT). Meanwhile, ONGC's total oil production in the first nine months of FY24 declined 2.9%.

The company said the decline in output in the nine months was due to a shut down in Panna-Mukta offshore platforms for the commissioning of new crude oil pipeline, cyclone Biparjoy and natural decline from mature fields.

ONGC said it is taking proactive steps by implementing well interventions and advancing new well-drilling activities to counter the decline in output.

The company also expects oil production commencement from KG-DWN-98/2 block to arrest the decline.

ONGC represents 67% of India's oil and 54% of its gas production. The company has devised an annual expenditure plan of approximately Rs 300 bn to drive further growth.

ONGC's share price recently zoomed 8% and hit a 52-week high. To know what's driving the rally, check out Why ONGC Share Price is Rising.

Hero MotoCorp on Friday said its consolidated net profit increased by 51.3% year-on-year (Y-o-Y) to Rs 10.9 bn during the third quarter of 2023-24.

It was due to high demand for premium products, robust sales during the festival season, decrease in commodity costs and price hikes.

India's largest two-wheeler maker also announced that it is going to invest up to Rs 6 bn to set up a second storage facility by March 2027 in Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh, to stash components, accessories and merchandise.

The company's existing storage facility is in Neemrana, Rajasthan, and its capacity of 26,000 stock-keeping units (SKUs) has been fully utilised. The second storage facility will have a capacity of 36,700 SKUs.

Hero MotoCorp said its focus on parts, accessories and merchandise business has led to it crossing an annualised revenue of Rs 50 bn.

The company also declared an interim dividend of Rs 75 per share and a special dividend of Rs 25 per share for 2023-24, marking the centennial year of Chairman Emeritus Brijmohan Lall Munjal.
