After making a high near 340 levels, the stock is taking support at its longterm support level of 230 and looks to regain its momentum to back at above 300 level due to following factors

• Reported EBITDA of Rs18,968 cr (up 11% yoy, 4% qoq) was 3% ahead of our estimates.
• Net oil price realization of US$52.7/bbl (up 2% yoy) was 0.7% ahead.
• Apart of KG-98/2, ONGC is optimistic on incremental gas production from Daman.
• Stars seem to be in ONGC’s favor these days.

benchmarked to an attractive 12% slope.

policy risks. The ongoing ORD Act amendment will also be positive.
• The rising production outlook and reduced policy risks are positives.
