LPG Subsidy Impact Not Accounted in Income

The company mentioned a negative buffer of ₹10,894.53 crore due to the gap between the market price of LPG cylinders and what consumers actually pay.

HPCL said that since the government has not yet authorised revenue recognition for this amount, it has not been included in their income statement.
