Updates for market close

By Bharath Rajeswaran

April 28 (Reuters) - Indian shares declined on Tuesday, as higher crude prices hurt sentiment and banking stocks came under pressure after the Reserve Bank of India's final credit-loss guidelines.

Brent crude LCOc1 rose above $110 a barrel as efforts to end the Middle East war appeared to have stalled. O/R

Higher oil prices are a negative for India, the world's third-largest crude importer, due to heightened inflation risks and pressure on economic growth and corporate earnings.

The Nifty 50 .NSEI fell 0.4% to 23,995.70, while the BSE Sensex .BSESN shed 0.54% to 76,886.91.

Both benchmarks rose about 0.3% in the first hour, but reversed course ahead of the monthly derivatives expiry.

Ten of the 16 major sectors logged losses.

High-weight banks .NSEBANK, private banks .NIFPVTBNK and state-owned lenders .NIFTYPSU lost 1.5%, 1.2% and 2.2%, respectively, after the RBI's new rules.

"The market has taken cognisance of the fact that the upcoming expected credit-loss norms could erode profitability due to higher Stage 2 provisioning," said Saurabh Jain, assistant vice president of retail equities, SMC Global.

Under the norms, Stage 2 assets are loans that have seen a significant increase in credit risk but are not yet credit-impaired.

"PSU banks are likely to feel a sharper pinch than their private-sector peers."

Most private-sector banks already provision conservatively for overdue loans and maintain contingent buffers, while state-owned lenders typically do not.

The new norms could raise provisioning requirements more sharply for PSU banks.

Meanwhile, top carmaker Maruti Suzuki MRTI.NS fell 2.5% after posting a quarterly profit drop due to higher raw material costs. Auto index .NIFTYAUTO lost 1%.

Coal India COAL.NS climbed 3.2% after reporting a larger-than-expected quarterly profit.

ONGC ONGC.NS and Oil India OILI.NS added 5.4% and 4.5%, respectively, as higher crude prices boosted the earnings outlook for upstream companies.

On the flip side, the broader small-caps .NIFSMCP100 and mid-caps .NIFMDCP100 rose 0.4% and 0.3%, aided by upbeat earnings in key constituents.

Feb 10 (Reuters) - Indian explorer Oil India OILI.NS reported a fall in third-quarter profit on Tuesday as lower realisations squeezed margins, despite higher fuel demand.

The state-owned firm's standalone profit, which excludes earnings from joint ventures and overseas operations, fell 33.8% to 8.08 billion rupees ($89.2 million) for the quarter ended December 31.

Oil India's crude oil price realisation - the price at which it sells products - fell to $62.84 per barrel from $73.82 per barrel a year earlier, tracking a decline in global crude prices. Brent crude LCOc1 dropped more than 9% during the October-December quarter.

The fall in crude prices dragged down overall revenue, while costs climbed, squeezing margins. Oil India's operating margin contracted to 13.58% from 30.65% a year earlier.

Revenue from operations fell 6.2% to 49.16 billion rupees, with revenue from Oil India's crude oil segment - its largest - dropping 10.7%. Its natural gas segment's revenue, however, grew 3.2%.

The firm's total expenses rose 16.4% to 45.15 billion rupees.

Meanwhile, fuel consumption in India, the world's third-largest consumer and importer of oil, rebounded 5.5% and 5.3% year-on-year in November and December, respectively, after a 0.4% drop in October, according to data from Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell.

Oil India approved a second interim dividend of seven rupees per share for the current financial year.

Jan 29 (Reuters) - Mozambique and TotalEnergies TTEF.PA will relaunch development of the French energy major's $20 billion liquefied natural gas plant on Thursday, nearly five years after it was put on hold following a deadly attack by Islamist militants.

Construction of the project was halted in 2021. But TotalEnergies, which has taken extra equity with its partners after some backers pulled out, said late last year it was ready to resume work at the site in the northern province of Cabo Delgado.

Mozambique's President Daniel Chapo and TotalEnergies CEO Patrick Pouyanne were due to attend a ceremony marking its relaunch, the government said.

"The resumption of the project ... represents a significant milestone for the national economy and reaffirms the confidence of international partners in the energy, institutional and human potential of Mozambique," a statement from Chapo's office said.

Total confirmed the government's announcement but declined to provide further details.

SECURITY HAS IMPROVED, BUT COSTS HAVE RISEN

Security has improved in Cabo Delgado, particularly with the special deployment of Rwandan soldiers around the Afungi construction site. The Islamist insurgency, though weakened, continues to simmer, however.

With capacity to produce 13 million metric tons of LNG annually, the project is expected to make Mozambique a major gas exporter, transforming the poor African nation's economy when it begins producing in 2029. But it has been dogged by security, finance and human rights issues that have spooked some investors.

In October, TotalEnergies wrote to Chapo estimating that the project's costs had risen by $4.5 billion in the years it had been on hold. It said the consortium wanted the development and production period extended by 10 years as partial compensation.

It is unclear whether these extra cost issues have been resolved after Chapo said Mozambique had "counter-arguments" to this amount.

TotalEnergies has a 26.5% stake in the Mozambique LNG consortium. Japan's Mitsui owns 20%, with ENH at 15%, and Bharat Petroleum, Oil India, and ONGC Videsh all on 10%. Thailand's PTTEP holds the remaining 8.5% stake.

Nov 14 (Reuters) - Indian explorer Oil India OILI.NS reported a 43% slump in second-quarter profit on Friday, as crude realisations, or the price at which it sells the product, declined, while higher expenses also weighed on margins.

The state-owned firm's standalone profit, which excludes earnings from joint ventures and overseas operations, fell to 10.44 billion rupees ($118.8 million) for the quarter ended September 30 from 18.34 billion rupees last year.

The company's crude oil price realisation slid 14% to $68.19 per barrel, from $79.33 per barrel a year ago.

While fuel demand in India, the world's third biggest oil importer and consumer, rose for two out of the three months in the July-September quarter, the company's revenue from operations fell 1.1% on-year to 54.57 billion rupees.

Prices of global brent crude oil LCOc1 were down 0.25% in the quarter.

The company's total expenses also jumped about 22% to 49.7 billion rupees, while operating margin for the quarter shrunk to 13.69% from 30.43% a year earlier.

Oil India's shares dropped 4.7% during the July-September quarter, while larger peer ONGC ONGC.NS fell nearly 2%.
