In news from the energy sector, ONGC was among the top buzzing stocks today.

ONGC rebounds on windfall tax cut 

Shares of ONGC jumped over 3% intraday today in an otherwise weak market.

This rise in the share price came in after the government slashed the windfall profit tax to less than half the on domestically produced crude oil and reduced the tax levy on diesel.

The tariff on crude oil generated by the state-owned ONGC was lowered from Rs 10,200 per ton to Rs 4,900 per ton.

The government reduced the tariff on diesel export from Rs 10.5 per litre to Rs 8 per litre as part of the fortnightly modification of the windfall profit tax.

The cess has been decreased as part of the eleventh review of windfall taxes to US$ 8.4/bbl as of 2 December 2022. Due to this, indigenous oil producers like ONGC will produce less oil.

Due to falling crude oil prices and higher taxes, shares of ONGC are trading down by 2% so far in 2022.

Moving on to news from the refineries sector, Reliance Industries was also among the top buzzing stocks.

Reliance Industries increases fuel imports.

Reliance Industries, operator of the world's largest refining complex, is snapping up Russian refined fuels, including rare purchases of naphtha, after some western buyers stopped Russian imports.

Russian crude and processed products, which were primarily marketed to European nations, have recently been more widely traded owing to Western sanctions against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.

In September and October, India imported roughly 410,000 tons of naphtha, which is used to make petrochemicals.

Reliance received around 150,000 tons of this total during the course of the two months from the Russian ports of Ust-Luga, Tuapse, and Novorossiysk.
