Here’s what you should track.

ONGC Q4 FY26 Results: Upstream Giant in Focus as Iran War Shapes Earnings Outlook

Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (NSE: ONGC)’s shareholder returns will be in focus on Tuesday as it is India’s largest state-owned oil and gas explorer and producer. Oil and Natural Gas Corporation is due to report quarterly earnings. Producing about 70% of India’s crude oil domestically and roughly 84% of India’s natural gas, ONGC is owned by the Government of India and Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas.

As an upstream oil company one that explores and produces crude at the wellhead before it is refined ONGC’s earnings are directly and positively correlated with global crude oil prices. With the ongoing US-Iran war having kept Brent crude elevated above $95 a barrel for several months, upstream producers like ONGC have been among the key beneficiaries of the geopolitical conflict, with higher realisations per barrel flowing directly into revenue and profitability. Markets will track whether this tailwind has translated into a strong Q4 print, and how management guides on earnings visibility if a peace deal reopens the Strait of Hormuz and brings crude prices lower.

Tata Sons Chairman Chandrasekaran to Present Revised Business Roadmap to Board

Tata Sons Chairman N Chandrasekaran is expected to present a revised business roadmap to the Tata Sons board at a meeting scheduled for May 26, according to people aware of the matter. The strategy presentation comes amid growing internal scrutiny over capital allocation, profitability timelines and long-term direction at the Tata Group, and is being viewed as a significant exercise aimed at bringing greater clarity to the conglomerate’s strategic priorities amid rising investments and governance sensitivities.

Chandrasekaran and Tata Trusts Chairman Noel Tata met over the weekend to end a three-month-long communication logjam between the two, just ahead of the board meeting. The presentation is expected to outline revised priorities on capital allocation, profitability timelines in emerging businesses, future investment strategy, and the broader long-term direction of the Tata Group. Investor attention will focus on any signals around the group’s listed entities including Tata Motors, TCS, Tata Steel and Tata Power where capital allocation decisions have significant implications for minority shareholders.

RVNL Q4 Profit Slumps 59% YoY to Rs 187 Crore; Market Reaction Awaited

Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (NSE: RVNL), a public sector enterprise under the Ministry of Railways responsible for developing rail infrastructure across India, reported a sharp 59% year-on-year decline in net profit to Rs 187 crore for Q4 FY26, with the results released after the close of Monday’s market session. With the numbers now in the public domain, Tuesday’s session will see the full market reaction to the earnings miss, with investors assessing whether the profit decline is a one-time aberration or a signal of structural pressure on margins and order execution timelines.

Suzlon Energy: Revenue Jumps 45% But Net Profit Dips 6%; Reaction Due Tuesday

Suzlon Energy (NSE: SUZLON), one of India’s largest and most established renewable energy companies with a significant presence in wind energy solutions across the country, reported a mixed set of Q4 FY26 results posting a 45% year-on-year jump in revenue even as net profit dipped 6%, pointing to cost pressures offsetting the strong top-line momentum. The results were released at 3 pm on Monday, meaning Tuesday’s session will be the first opportunity for markets to fully price in the numbers across Suzlon’s actively traded stock.
