PREFACE
In the broader sense training is necessary to make the students of professional
institutions familiar with industrial environment .This not only helps
professionals to speedily accommodate themselves in industries but also to have
better usage of their studies.
To be dynamic, strategic and work aggressively they need to know the policies ,
procedures and trends going in the present industrial environment apart from
their studies The training fulfils all these needs . Whether it is the question of
demonstrating a modernized procedure, step by step to an old production hand
or guiding a new division head through the intricacies of preparing his own
budget, the responsible supervisor or manager must make the trainee learn and
communicate.
The purpose and objective of the study is to analyze the different aspect of
financial and marketing position of the organization and list out the suggestions,
recommendations based on the studies.
The main source of study is primary and secondary data collected from
the annual end and other public reports and other information received from
Barauni Refinery and Indian Oil Corporation Limited and market survey.
The various modern and standard tools to achieve the objectives of the study
carry out the analysis of the data.

Barauni Refinery is the second public sector refinery of the Indian Oil
Corporation Limited which was set-up under the collaboration of erstwhile
USSR and limited participation of Romania. It is located near the northern bank
of the river Ganga at Begusarai District town of Bihar state. The refinery is
strategically located on the crossroads of two important national highways , NH-
30 and NH-31 and two important railways, Eastern Railways and North Eastern
Railways. The river Ganga flows around 8 km from the refinery.
The Barauni Refinery takes its crude oil from foreign countries through Barauni
–Haldia Crude Pipeline (BHCPL).Barauni Refinery is one of the biggest size oil
refinery owned and managed by IOCL. The refinery is located about 8km from
the town Begusarai and is surrounded by villages.
Barauni Refinery was formally inaugarated by Prof. Humayun Kabir, the then
Union Minister of Petroleum and Chemicals, Government of India on January
15, 1965. It started with a refining capacity of processing two 2 Million Metric
Tones Per Annum of Assam Crude through the Nahar-Katiya-Barauni pipeline.
The capacity was subsequently enhanced to 3 million metric tones per annum.
The refinery consists of three crude oil Distillation unit, two Coker unit, CRU,
LRU and BXP. The oilmovement and storage section of refinery does the
storage and dispatch of all the products. An LPG bottling plants has also been
provided which is able to fill 3500 to 4000 cylinders per day.A captive power
plant has been provided to meet the steam and power requirements of the
refinery. Under the expansion program following process units and facilities are
put up:
The Resid Fludised Bed Catalytic Cracking Unit (RFCCU) yielding
LPG, Diesel and Petrol.
Diesel Hydro Treater (DHDT) for improving Cetone no. and to meet the
euro emmissions norms.
Primarily, the refining technology was sourced from eastern countries like
Russia. Later as the refinery grew over the years, it drew upon technologies
from rest of the world . In February 16, 1999 the 498 km long Haldia-Barauni
Crude OilPipeline commenced its crude supply position of the refinery, which
was dependent on Assam crude alone. At the begining of the new millennieum ,
Barauni Refinery is poised to touch stellar heights in mordernizing its refining
technology.Barauni refinery is among the few refineries in the world to have
scored the coveted ISO 9002 Certification.

Introduction to IOCL
VISION:
From a fledgling company with a net worth of just Rs. 45.18 crore and sales of
1.38 million tonnes valued at Rs. 78 crore in the year 1965, Indian Oil has since
grown over 3000 times with a sales turnover of Rs. 285,337 crore, the highest–
ever for an Indian company, and a net profit of Rs. 2,950 crore for 2008-09.
Indian Oil is investing Rs. 43,393 crore (US $10.8 billion) during the period
2007-12 in augmentation of refining and pipeline capacities, expansion of
marketing infrastructure and product quality up gradation as well as in
integration and diversification projects.
As the flagship national oil company in the downstream sector, Indian Oil
reaches precious petroleum products to millions of people every day through a
countrywide network of about 35,000 sales points. They are backed for supplies
by 166 bulk storage terminals and depots, 101 aviation fuel stations and 89
Indane (LPGas) bottling plants. About 7,100 bulk consumer pumps are also in
operation for the convenience of large consumers, ensuring products and
inventory at their doorstep.
Indian Oil operates the largest and the widest network of petrol & diesel stations
in the country, numbering over 17,600. It reaches Indane cooking gas to the
doorsteps of over 50 million households in nearly 2,700 markets through a
network of about 5,000 Indane distributors.

share in aviation fuel business, meeting the fuel needs of domestic and
international flag carriers, private airlines and the Indian Defence Services. The
Corporation also enjoys a dominant share of the bulk consumer business,
including that of railways, state transport undertakings, and industrial,
agricultural and marine sectors.

To safeguard the interest of the valuable customers, interventions like retail
automation, vehicle tracking and marker systems have been introduced to ensure
quality and quantity of petroleum products.
Indian Oil has set up subsidiaries in Sri Lanka, Mauritius and the United Arab
Emirates (UAE), and is simultaneously scouting for new opportunities in the
energy markets of Asia and Africa.

18
XTRAPOWER FLEET CARD
The fleet card program also offers an exciting rewards program and unique
benefits like personal accident insurance cover and vehicle tracking facilities. In
just under two years of its launch, Indian Oil’s XTRAPOWER Fleet Card has
emerged as the largest fleet card in the country with the widest retail outlet
coverage.
Kerosene is used as a domestic fuel for heating / lighting and also for
manufacture of insecticides/herbicides/fungicides to control pest, weeds and
fungi. Since kerosene is less volatile than gasoline, increase in its
evaporation rate in domestic burners is achieved by increasing surface area
of the oil to be burned and by increasing its temperature. The two types of
burners which achieve this fall into two categories namely vaporisers &
atomisers.
There are number of such retail outlets planned across the country out of
which many have been commissioned with a complement if fuel and non-
19
fuel. Non-fueling offering through ‘Best-in-class’ alliance on exclusive basis
wherever possible communication, food, rest, healthcare, parking vehicle
care etc.
XTRA CARE
The launch of Xtra Care was the culmination of a series of plans in retail
design, product and service up gradation, capability training, automation,
loyalty programme, retail site management techniques all benchmark to
global standards. While the industry standard is to take samples on a
quarterly basis, Indian Oil has moved several steps ahead by introducing
fortnightly random sampling with specific importance given to Research
Octane Number (RON) sampling which is truly the definitive test for quality
and quantity. So far over 400 Xtra care retail outlets have been set up, around
1500 Xtra Care retail outlets will be ready soon.

SWOT Analysis for IOCL
22
External environment
Opportunity:
The IOCL has much opportunity in the present market conditions. This is
because the petroleum products have become a need for everyone and still
contains a lot of scope for customization. The various opportunities are listed
below.
• Since the company has the maximum number of outlets and also the maximum
number of refineries in India, it can very easily go for extension at any point of
time, and can introduce any new products, which will get support from its huge
market network.
• The company can make the buying process easier for the customers, by
implying many more schemes in the range of XTRAPOWER Fleet Card AND
XTRAREWARD.
• The company can think over the issue to build its own pipelines, so that it will
be an independent player and it will also support its aviation fuel supply.
• Company has a great scope in E&P. It is already involved in E&P but only in a
very limited scale.
Threats:
23
Since the company is the market leader in the field, so have maximum threats
from the other players and many other issues. The lists of threats are given
below.
• The foreign players with more advanced technology are the biggest threat
• The crude oil supply is also a big issue in front of the company, because the
company cannot fix its price and so, some time had operated in loss also.
It is the biggest problem because the maximum part of their crude is been
imported.
• In future the market will welcome more private players, which will eat up
• If the Govt. Policies allow the private players to set their own price, the private
player can seriously harm the market share of IOCL.
Internal environment
24
Strengths:
• 58% of IOC’s refining capacity is located in the Northern and Western regions,
which are high demand and high growth areas
• Although its refineries are located the interior of the country and not near the
major ports IOC has a very strong distribution network by virtue of having a
share of 48% in the country’s product pipelines. The total capacity of these
product pipelines is 49.79 MMT.
• IOC also acquired management control of the marketing company IBP, thereby
strengthening its position in these activities. It also has a dominant share in all
segments in terms marketing infrastructure. Its network includes 19830 retail
outlets, 8000 LPG distributors, and 6492 kerosene/LDO dealers.
• By virtue of entering into extensive joint venture agreements, and of its own
initiative as well, the company has a presence in various other related activities
such as petroleum storage, pipelines, lube additives, exploration,
petrochemicals, gas, training and consultancy, etc.
• The company has already entered overseas markets such as Sri Lanka,
Maldives, and Oman and is presently considering entering Turkey through a JV.
The company is in talks with Caliak of Turkey to set up a 10 million TPA grass
root refinery with an investment of $2 billion and establish retail business. IOC
is also weighing the possibility of entering Indonesia.IOC has also started
exploring the overseas markets for increasing its scope of operations. Its
interests include downstream activities in Sri Lanka, Maldives, Oman, and
25
Nepal; interest in the lubes business in Maldives, Dubai, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka,
etc; among others.
Weakness:
The company is the market leader in the industry, but still it had many
weaknesses.
• The major weakness for the company is the R&D. The company starts working
on it.

LOYALTY PROGRAMS- AN INTRODUCTION:
Loyalty programs are structured marketing efforts that reward, and therefore
encourage, loyal buying behavior — behavior which is potentially of benefit to
the firm.
Loyalty programs are initiated by businesses with two main goals. The primary
goal for most loyalty programs is the acquisition of information relating to their
customers' spending habits, while the secondary goal is to actively cultivate
loyalty amongst customers to ensure they continue patronizing the business.
While some companies do reverse these priorities, the above hierarchy holds
true for most.
Loyalty cards are the most common form of loyalty programs found throughout
the world today. Some of the first loyalty programs were instituted by airlines in
the 1970s in the form of frequent flyer miles. In these loyalty programs, one
accrues points by flying on the airline and then 'cashes in' the points in exchange
for tickets, upgrades, or even third-party benefits. In the past decade, many non-
airline businesses have combined their own loyalty programs with those of the
airlines, offering frequent flyer miles in exchange for everything from telephone
usage to purchasing gasoline.
Loyalty programs have gained in popularity immensely in the past fifteen years,
in no small part due to the development of a culture of entitlement, in which
27
consumers feel that they deserve special treatment. Businesses have capitalized
on this when designing their loyalty programs, often offering benefits that cost
little, but carry with them an assumed prestige, such as access to faster-moving
lines or special parking spaces.
Ultimately, the success of loyalty programs depends on how well the business
uses the data it gathers to further refine its policies and loyalty programs. Many
businesses find little profit in the use of loyalty programs, while others, such as
eBay, attribute much of their financial success to a well-executed use of such
programs.
Most CRM initiatives begin with a strategic need to manage the process of
handling customer related information more effectively. For beginners it could
simply mean better lead management capabilities or sales pipeline visibility.
However, as organizations mature in their CRM initiatives, they begin to look at
CRM as tool to acquire strategic differentiators. Despite the immense benefits
that the CRM solutions can deliver, they are not entirely without their share of
problems.
Loyal customers are more profitable. Any company will like its mindshare status
to improve from being a suspect to being an advocate. Company has to invest in
terms of its product and service offerings to its customers. It has to innovate and
meet the very needs of its clients/ customers so that they remain as advocates on
the loyalty curve

XTRAREWARDS Loyalty Program
Indian Oil XTRAREWARDS is India's first on-line rewards program that seeks
to inculcate the habit of redeeming points. The loyalty program rewards
customers paying by cash, credit and debit cards.
Each transaction is confirmed on-line through a charge slip and customers can
earn points on fuel/lube purchases at participating Indian Oil Retail Outlets.
Additional points can also be earned outside the Indian Oil network, covering
prominent FMCG, Food, Automobile, Travel, Entertainment, Apparel and
Hospitality sectors.
The redemption on gifts can be registered either from the participating Retail
Outlets or from the comfortable confines of one's home through the 24x7 IVRS
Help Line (022-2880 9030).
The program continuously provides the cardholder with privileges, benefits and
offers from alliance partners like Domino's Pizza, Subhiksha, Rediff Shopping,
Kumaran Silks, Dhabba Express, Chennai Corporate Club and Archana Sweets.
31
XTRAPOWER Fleet Card program:
The fleet card program also offers an exciting rewards program and unique
benefits like personal accident insurance cover and vehicle tracking facilities. In
just under two years of its launch, Indian Oil’s XTRAPOWER Fleet Card has
emerged as the largest fleet card in the country with the widest retail outlet
coverage.
Any business entity owning or operating a vehicle fleet can become a member of
the XTRAPOWER fleet card program at a nominal annual charge. Each fleet
owner is issued a Fleet Control Card and vehicle-specific Fleet Cards for every
vehicle enrolled under the program.
For enhanced security, the fleet card transactions are authorized through unique
Personal Identification Number (PIN). Moreover, the card can help track each
vehicle's movement across remote corners of the country leading to an
improvement in vehicle utilization and route compliance. XTRAPOWER is also
backed by Indian Oil’s vast infrastructure network and web-based support
services.
With XTRAPOWER Fleet Card you now have an easy, convenient and rewarding
XtraPower Fleet Card program is a step of IOC towards building loyalty among
the existing customers. Loyalty program works only when the customer is
emotionally attached to the brand.
Positioning of the loyalty program is very critical so that these benefits do not
appear to be a just discount under the garb of loyalty this greatly affects the
customer retailer relationship and greatly reducing the program to a pure
commercial transaction where the customer constantly looks for deals.
We need to enroll the right customers. We can recognize the highest value
customers to recognize and reward their value to our organization, we can
cultivate high potential customers who currently split their purchases between us
and our competitors or reach out to those most at risk of churning. Knowing
which customer groups are most important to us allows crafting recognition and
rewarding strategy that piques their interest.
Recommendations
33
Ideas to increase & retain customer base
Target new vehicle/fleet owner by tie up with the vehicles companies and
give XTRAPOWER FLEET CARD with every new vehicle/truck.
If any card is not used for more than 30 days by the customer then
automatic message should be generated to remind the user.
Try to know actual reasons for not using the card for longer period of time
by the customer as retaining one customer is better than acquiring 6 new
customers.
At Retail outlets
Pump attendants should get training frequently and as most of the staff at
the pump is not educated, a comprehensive training has to be provided to
the pump attendants about XTRAPOWER FLEET CARD program.
34
The objective of the loyalty program should be made transparent to the
attendants. They should be taught to use the swiping machine carefully
and accurately using different options and also various messages of error
in the machine
35
Alliance Partners of IOCL for XtraPower fleet card program
Indian Oil Corporation Ltd has tied with many branded companies to give
variety of benefits to their customers through Xtra Power Fleet card program.
Alliance partner such as Essel World, Water Kingdom, Yoko sizzlers, Subhiksha,
Pizza Hut, Vishal Mega Mart, PVR, are giving Different discounted offers to the
card holders. These alliances are beneficial for both Indian Oil and the alliance
partner. Indian Oil can increase their customer base through these alliance and
these alliance partners can market their brand at Indian Oil petrol Pumps.
There are four major objectives for which we need to tie-up with various local
clients.
• To promote the loyalty between the local customers and the company.

In order to access the benefit to the local consumer through the loyalty program
it was essential to tap the nearby outlets / store and convince them to be a part of
the XtraPower Fleet Card Loyalty Program. The result was overwhelming and
encouraging as the dealers showed a great interest and appreciated the offer
provided and wanted to be a part of the program.
Findings:
• Prospective alliances were very supporting and welcoming .They had
goodwill for IOC.
37
• Dealers who showed interest appreciated the offer provided and were
eager to continue talks with IOC.They were also ready for a tie up of their
branches with IOC.
• Some of the prospective alliance partners were not aware of India Oil
XtraPower Fleet Card Loyalty Program. Hence they were not interested.
Also due to the increase in the oil prices they were apprehensive of
getting into an alliance with Indian Oil.
Recommendations
• More IOC retail outlets should be covered under the XtraPower Fleet
Card loyalty program so that prospective alliance partners are interested in
joining the program.
• Get in more food, apparel stores as partners. Alliances with shoe stores,
cloth outlets etc would also be beneficial.
• Products for both the genders is needed, there are very less gifts to attract
women.
• Advertise the Loyalty Card more, so the alliances would be willing to join
IOC program.
