EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Indian economy is passing through a dynamic phase of major
restructuring and hence significant changes are taking place within the
petroleum sector. A strategically significant consequence of reforms in the
petroleum sector is the dismantling of ADMINISTERED PRICING
MECHANISM (APM) in 2002 (under which the petroleum companies were
assured of a reasonable return through controlled pricing).
Ever since the APM has dismantled, the PSU companies are given authority to
negotiate the prices at which they will be providing goods and services to
each other. They operate under name of OIL MARKETING COMPANIES
(OMC). Currently, under OMC three major oil PSUs i.e. INDIAN OIL CORP.
LIMITED, BHARAT PETROLEUM CORP. LIMITED and HINDUSTAN
PETROLEUM CORP. LIMITED work. It is basically a consortium between the
above said companies to provide goods and services to the other company in
case the assisted company is not having refinery or other facilities at a
particular place. This is being done to avoid the transit cost which may be
involved when that company gets the product from its far of refinery and
thus to help the economy as a whole. That is because the PSUs operate with
the purpose of social welfare also.
In this project, an in depth study of the accounting procedures under which
the OMC transactions are done, is being made. It also consists of the impact of
OMC transactions on IOCL in the last quarter of 2008-2009.
Also, an in depth analysis of the profitability of various products is being
conducted. It is being studied that which product is more profitable when it
has been sold through OMC than through the retail route.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION
ESTABLISHMENT OF IOCL
In order to ensure greater efficiency and smooth working, the Government of India
decided to merge the refining and distribution activities.
The Indian Refineries and Indian Oil Company were combined to form the giant
Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) on 1st September 1964 with its registered
office at Bombay. In 1967, the pipeline division of the corporation was merged with
the refineries division. Research and Development center of Indian Oil came into
existence in 1972. In October 1981, Assam Oil Company was nationalized and has
been amalgamated with IOCL as Assam Oil Division (AOD).

(Source: www.iocl.com)
Indian Oils Capacity to handle refining and marketing operations on an ever-
expanding scale, gave the government the confidence to take over the three major
private oil companies during the seventies. This was followed in 1981 by the

acquisition of Assam Oil Company and a 50% private shareholding of the Oil India
Limited. With this step, the entire oil industry came under the public sector fold.
With these developments, India was on her way to achieve self-reliance in one of the
core sectors of the national economy.
Indian Oil Corporation Limited Today:-
Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. (IOCL) is currently India's largest company by
sales with sales turnover of Rs. 2, 47,479 crore (US $ 61.70 billion) and profits
of Rs. 6,963 crore (US $ 1.74 billion) for the year 2007-08. It will also celebrate
its Golden jubilee this year on 1
st
September 2009.
Indian Oil is also the highest ranked Indian company in the prestigious
Fortune 'Global 500' listing, having moved up 19 places to the 116th position
in 2008. It is also the 18th largest petroleum company in the world. Indian
Oils vision is driven by a group of dynamic leaders who have made it a name
to reckon with.
In this section, you can peruse through the profile and spread of Indian Oil
across the country & abroad. You can also know about Indian Oil's current
financial performance, special initiatives and causes along with the
prestigious recognitions & awards that have come its way for exceptional
performances.
Recently Indian oil inaugurated first LPG Pipeline in North India. There has been
many milestones which have been achieved by the Indian Oil the most recent
been:-
The 'historic amalgamation' of Bongaigaon Refinery & Petrochemicals Ltd.
(BRPL) with the parent company - Indian Oil became effective from March 25,
2009. BRPL was inducted as an Indian Oil Group Company on 29
th
March,
2001.

Product Profile
Indian oil accounts for approximately 48% petroleum products market share. Its
products include liquefied petroleum gas, aviation turbine fuel, bitumen, high speed
diesel, lubricating oils and greases, petrochemicals, and superior kerosene and crude
oil.

The company also offers special products, which comprise benzene, carbon black

1) BACKGROUND

i. INDIAN PETROLEUM SECTOR

Oil is one of the most important factors contributing to the economic development of
a country. The production and consumption of oil in a country has become a
barometer of its economic growth and prosperity.
India has been following the mixed economy with socialistic pattern ever since its
independence. As per the industrial policy resolution of 1948 (IPR 48) certain core
sector industries were exclusively reserved for the public sector, one such sector is
the Petroleum Sector. The downstream refinery (for more details refer appendix) and
marketing segment of the petroleum sector are dominated by the three large PSUs,
namely Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum and Hindustan Petroleum, Indian Oil being the
largest and the oldest of them.
This sector is witnessing enormous amounts of activity due to the crude prices
soaring high, the mounting losses of the oil marketing companies and the entry of
private players in this sector and hence demands of liberalization of the sector to
make it a level playing field. Thus the scenario is ever changing as far as this sector is
concerned.

ii. ADMINISTERED PRICE MECHANISM (APM)

Petroleum sector remained regulated through the mechanism of administered price. All
investment proposals were approved by the Government of India (GOI). All resources,
(capital as well as foreign exchange for import of crude and finished product), were made
available by the government. The pricing policy tried to maintain a balance between the
inherent conflict between social objective of oil companies and their commercial viability.
Prices of petroleum products were determined so that a satisfactory level of capacity
utilization cost of production and reasonable amount of return on investment was ensured.
Thus the prices that were being set by the government were acceptable to all the OMCs and
they had to provide each other with the material at the predetermined prices. At the same
time, to ensure availability of this commodity to the weaker sections of the society, cross
subsidy across different products was introduced. This was the basis for fixing margins for
oil companies under the APM, guaranteeing a fixed reasonable rate of return. It was
ggoverned under the directive of Ministry of Petroleum & Natural gas (MoP&NG). Products
/ Infrastructure were shared amongst Oil companies. The distribution was under the
purview of Oil Coordination Committee, under MoP&NG (Ministry of Petroleum & Natural
Gas). All under recoveries were covered under Oil Pool Mechanism. All Refineries had same
Refinery Transfer Price. The guiding principle in distribution was to minimize product
positioning cost.
(Source: APM dismantling [Report]. - [s.l.] : IOCL, 2001-2002)

iii. LIBERALIZATION IN PETROLEUM SECTOR

The economic liberalization led to the opening up of the petroleum sector as well. Private
sector refiners entered the industry with huge capacities. The government reduced its
stakes in HPCL, BPCL and IOCL. More and more products came out of APM and the oil
companies had the liberty to set their own prices as regulated by the market forces. Phased
dismantling of APM was done by the year 2001-2002 (1.4.02). Private sector (both Indian
and foreign) was allowed to enter petroleum industry.

iv. OIL MARKETING COMPANIES (OMC)

Currently, under OMC three major oil PSUs i.e. INDIAN OIL, BPCL and HPCL
work. It is basically a consortium between the above said companies to provide
goods and services to the other company in case the other company is not having
refinery or other facilities a particular place. This is being done to avoid the transit
cost which may be involved when that company gets the product from its far of
refinery and thus to help the economy as a whole. Here, there is no reimbursement
for logistics under-recoveries. RTP of refineries is based on Import Parity Price (for
Port refineries) and inland differential (for inland refinery). All taxes and duties
payable by the assisted company.

CHAPTER 2
LITERATURE REVIEW


LITERATURE REVIEW
This chapter deals with the study of literature of Petroleum Industry. There have
been innumerable studies in this industry to understand its impact on the society at
large. Petroleum (energy) is the prime source to drive the economy of a country and
keep its momentum.
In India, government forms committees on regular basis for the study of
pricing, demand, marketing, consumption and etc. of petroleum products. Standing
Committee on Petroleum and Natural Gas (2005) has presented report on Pricing
of Petroleum Products.
The history of oil pricing can be traced back to the late 1920s. During this
period, the private companies were marketing imported product - mainly kerosene.
No authority, either the Government or the companies, enforced any artificial
controls on the prices, which were allowed to float. This situation continued till the
advent of the Second World War. During the war and post war periods (1939-1948),
the oil companies maintained price pools for major products. The first attempt to
regulate the oil prices was based on Valued Stock Account (VSA) procedure agreed
to between the Government of India and Burmah Shell in 1948.
International Energy Agency has also shown its interest in Energy Sector of
India, a paper Petroleum Pricing in India: Where have all the Subsidies gone?
(2006), has thrown some light on the subsidies regime of India. This paper says that
despite being subsidised, petrol and diesel price are quite high in India. Petroleum
product pricing in India is frequently seen as a black hole of subsidies. Economists
and oil companies complain about the impacts those subsidies have on public
finances, financial performance of oil companies and demand-side management.
However, on closer analysis, the issue of petroleum product pricing in India is more
complex than the one-way flow of subsidies reported in the press. So the question to
be answered is: how high are subsidies really?

Contrary to common perception, Indias retail prices for petrol and diesel are
relatively high despite subsidies. In fact, the total Government (central and states)
taxes and surcharges on petrol products exceed by far the annual budget subsidies
for these products.
In costing of petroleum products marketing cost is quite high and plays an
important role in deciding the ultimate price of these products. A committee formed
under the Indian government has studied this and presented the report Marketing
Cost of Petrol and Diesel (2006). This committee has mainly studied the following
points:

Governments decision regarding implementation of principle of Trade Parity
with reduction in customs duty on petrol and diesel from 10% to 7.5%.
Audited actuals for financial year 2005-06 along with reference to
recommendations of Dr. Rangarajan Committee and Trade Parity.
Representatives from IOC, BPC, HPC and ONGC can also be co-opted to the
group, if necessary.
The pricing formula as may be evolved based on such findings would be
submitted for approval.
PPAC in consultation with Public Sector Oil Marketing Companies prepared
a format showing current price built up of petrol (Motor Spirit) and diesel (High
Speed Diesel) and requested the oil Public sector undertakings to furnish marketing
data pertaining to the year 2005-06 under various heads which were prevalent when
Administered Price Mechanism was in force.
In 2002, government gave away with Administered Pricing Mechanism,
however, it was decided to continue to subsidize PDS kerosene and domestic LPG
on the ground that these were fuels of mass consumption largely consumed by
economically weaker sections of society. The subsidy on these two products was
to be continued on a flat rate basis financed from the budget and was to be phased
out in three to five years. The Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) were to adjust the

retail selling prices of these products in line with international prices during this
period.
This was studied and recommendation were made by Report of the
Committee on
Pricing and Taxation of Petroleum Products (2006).
A literature review of OMC transactions and referring to various books by renowned
authors on the subject has been carried out. Several research papers published in
various journals have also been referred to. This has been discussed in detail in
Chapter-2. The study of these books and articles gave an in depth understanding of
the alliances and the dynamics as well as the purpose of doing the same. Thus a
strong foundation was being created for the successful completion of the project.


World Oil Marketing in Transition
BRIAN LEVY
The past decade has witnessed an extraordinary rise in the international economic
power of the worlds oil producing nations. This transformation did not occur in one
fell swoop; oil-exporting countries have been nibbling away at the control of
international oil companies a little time. And each new shift in the power has had its
own implications for the pattern of international oil trade.
The most recent shift in control is the rise of direct marketing of crude oil by oil-
marketing countries. Until the early 1970s, multinational oil companies, especially
the seven oil majors, dominated crude oil trade in international markets. However,
since 1973, state-owned enterprises from producer countries have increased the
share of oil that they market directly to downstream users, bypassing entirely the
international oil companies. Directly marketed oil rose from 8 percent of trade in
1973 to 25 percent by 1976, and reached almost 45 percent in 1980. What explain the
timing and extent of this shift in international marketing? What are its implications
for the structure of the international market?

No Justification for Raising Petrol Prices
There is no justification for raising the prices of petrol and other oils due to heavy oil
pool deficit, estimated to be about Rs. 18,000 crore, states Prof. J.D. Agarwal,
Director, Indian Institute of Finance. According to him, the massive oil pool deficit
has been a result of wrong estimates with regard to the volume of crude oil imported
from abroad in 1996-97 rather than international price of oil. The current prices of
petrol in the country were originally fixed when the international prices of petrol
were at a level of US $ 42/- per barrel. The petrol prices were of course been revised
upward in between as well due to oil pool deficit.
When the international prices of petrol fell down to half i.e. US & 22 per barrel, the
Govt. Should have reduced the petrol prices in the country. But the Govt. did not so
and acted as profiteer, exploiting the inelastic demand of petrol and the helpless
consumers stated Dr. Agarwal. According to Dr. Agarwal , the whopping increase in
oil import bill which may be estimated to be about US $ 10 bn. in 1997-98, would not
due to the rising prices but because of consumption and therefore has nothing to do
with the retail pricing of petrol. It is likely that the international crude oil prices
might fall further US $ 19 per barrel during 1997.The Ministry of petroleum should
generate more realistic estimates about the quantity of the oil to be imported. The
massive oil pool deficit is the reflection of the inefficiency of the Govt. regarding the
estimates generated by them in the past and also regulating the oil imports. The
Govt. should take serious note of such abnormal variances, particularly when the
international price of crude oil during the year has stagnated, urged Dr. Agarwal.
Moreover Dr. Agarwal feels that the increase in petrol and oil prices would fuel
inflation and bring down the quality of life of people. It will be an indirect tax on the
pockets of all without exception which will only promote inefficiency on the part of
those who are connected with oil industry. Dr. Agarwal has urged upon the Govt. to
adopt a more appropriate accounting system, where in the pricing of products like
oil should be done on cost plus basis, exactly the way industrial products are priced

in a market driven economic system. Dr. Agarwal strongly feels that the objective of
a Govt. is maximization of of welfare of people in general rather than creating state
monopolies, breeding inefficiency and exploiting citizens, welfare of people in
general rather than creating state monopolies, breeding inefficiency and exploiting
citizens.

CHAPTER 2
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

2.1 METHODOLOGY
2.1.1 DATA COLLECTION
After having the basics of alliances through the way of literature review, I studied
the original agreement that was being made by the OMCs after the dismantling of
APM in 2002. That agreement formed the basis for all the transactions henceforth. It
contained the various accounting policies that were to be followed as it is quite
complex and involves a number of components. After getting a knowhow of the
accounting policies it was logical to take the actual data.
The major portion of the data has been collected from the software called OMC
software (which is in turn was integrated with SAP). As the objective of the project
was to analyze the impact of OMC transactions in the last quarter of the financial
year 2008-2009, the data of the transactions that were being made during this period
was being taken. This data was basically the RTP (Refinery Transfer Price) and the
Import Parity Price (IPP). No information of the cost price of the various products
was given in the SAP. Thus the data of corporate cost and retail prices was being
collected from valuation as well as the pricing department at Yusuf Sarai office.


2.1.2 PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT
The liberalization has granted a lot of autonomy to IOCL especially with the grant of
NAVRATNA status. Keeping all these things in mind, the goals of the project are
determined to be as follows:-

Analyze the various accounting procedures that are followed for OMC
transactions as per the agreement
Identify the impact of OMC Transactions on the IOCL for the last quarter of
the financial year (2008-2009).
Identify the various products that are profitable when they are being put for OMC as
against going out in retail.

Ratio Analysis

We can classify ratios according to how they are constructed or according to the financial
characteristic that they capture.
Ratios can be constructed in the following four ways:
As a coverage ratio - A coverage ratio is a measure of a firms ability to cover, or
meet, a particular financial obligation. The denominator may be any obligation, such as
interest or rent, and the numerator is the amount of the funds available to satisfy that
obligation.
As a return ratio - A return ratio indicates a net benefit received from a particular
investment of resources. The net benefit is what is left over after expenses, such as operating
earnings or net income, and the resources may be total assets, fixed assets, inventory, or any
other investment.
As a turnover ratio - A turnover ratio is a measure of how much a firm gets out of its
assets. This ratio compares the gross benefit from an activity or investment with the
resources employed in it.
As a component percentage-A component percentage is the ratio of one amount in a
financial statement, such as sales, to the total of amounts in that financial statement, such as
net profit.
We can use financial ratios to evaluate five aspects of operating performance and financial
condition:
1. Return on investment
2. Liquidity
3. Profitability
4. Activity
5. Financial leverage

1. LIQUIDITY RATIOS
Liquidity refers to the ability of a firm to meet its obligations in the short run, usually one
year. This is done by comparing a companys most liquid assets (those that can be easily
converted to cash), its short-term liabilities.
In general, the greater the coverage of liquid assets to short-term liabilities the better it is
for the company as it gives a signal that the company can pay its debts that are coming
due in near future and still fund its ongoing operations.
On the other hand, a company with low coverage rate should raise a concern for the
investors as it may be a sign that the company will have difficulty running its operations as
well as meeting its obligations.
The biggest difference between each ratio is the type of assets used in the calculation. While
each ratio includes current assets, the more conservative ratios will exclude some current
assets as they cannot be easily converted into cash.
i. CURRENT RATIO
Formula:

Current ratio is the most popularly used measure of liquidity of a company. It ascertains if a
companys short-term assets (cash, cash equivalents, receivables, marketable securities, and
inventory) are readily available to pay off its short-term liabilities (payables, current portion
of term debt, accrued expenses and taxes).
In theory, the higher the current ratio, the better it is for the company.


ii. ACID TEST RATIO or QUICK RATIO
Formula:

It is a more stringent measure of liquidity, is used when liquidity of inventory is somewhat
doubtful. It further refines the current ratio by measuring the most liquid current assets
there are to cover current liabilities. It is more conservative than the current ratio as it
excludes inventory and other current assets, which are more difficult to convert into cash. A
higher ratio means a more liquid current position.
The higher the acid test ratio, the better it is for the company.
iii. CASH RATIO
Formula:

It is an indicator of a companys liquidity that further refines both the current ratio and the
quick ratio by measuring the amount of cash, cash equivalents or invested funds that are
there in current assets to cover current liabilities.
Higher is the cash ratio, better positioned is the company to meet its short-term debts.


iv. NET WORKING CAPITAL TO SALES RATIO
Formula:

Working capital = Current assets Current liabilities
It gives an indication of the performance of a company and the ability of a company to
convert its sales into working capital. Still another way to measure the firms ability to
satisfy short-term obligations is the net working capital-to-sales ratio, which compares net
working capital (current assets less current liabilities) with sales. This ratio tells us the
cushion available to meet short-term obligations relative to sales.
Higher is the net working capital to sales ratio, better positioned is the company to meet
its short-term debts.

2. LEVERAGE RATIO
Financial leverage refers to the use of debt in a firms capital structure. While debt capital is
a cheaper source of finance, it exposes the firm to greater risk. Debt capital is cheaper than
equity capital because interest on debt capital is a tax-deductible expense where as dividend
on equity capital is not. Hence, financial leverage has both returns and risk implications.
These ratios give users a general idea of the companys overall debt load as well as its mix of
equity and debt.
In general the greater the amount of debt held by a company the greater the financial risk
of bankruptcy.

i. DEBT-TO-EQUITY RATIO
Formula:

Net worth = Shareholders money Miscellaneous expenditure
It is a structural ratio showing the relative dependence on debt and equity sources of
financing. This is a measurement of how much suppliers, lenders, creditors and obligators
have committed to the company versus what the shareholders have committed.
A low value of this ratio means the company is less dependent on leverage, i.e., money
borrowed from and/or owed to others. In general, the higher the ratio, the more risk that a
company is considered to have taken on.
The lower the ratio, the less leverage a company is using and stronger is its equity
position.
ii. TIMES INTEREST EARNED RATIO OR INTEREST COVERAGE RATIO
Formula:

It is a coverage ratio reflecting the cover available for the interest burden. It is used to
determine how easily a company can pay interest expenses on outstanding debt. The lower
the ratio, the more the company is burdened by debt expenses.
Higher is the ratio, better is the company in a position to off the interest on outstanding
debt.

iii. LONG-TERM DEBT-TO-EQUITY RATIO
Formula:

It is another leverage ratio that compares a companys long-term liabilities to its
shareholders equity or net worth.
position.
iv. CAPITALIZATION RATIO
Formula:

It measures the debt component of a companys capital structure (i.e. sum of the long-term
debt and shareholders equity) to support a companys operations and growth. This ratio is
considered to be one of the more meaningful of the leverage ratios as it delivers the key
insight into a companys use of leverage.
position.


v. OWNERS FUND AS A PERCENTAGE OF TOTAL SOURCE
Formula:

It is a ratio similar to capitalization ratio.
The higher the ratio, the less leverage a company is using and stronger is its equity
position.
3. TURNOVER RATIOS
It is also referred to as asset management ratios, measure how efficiently the assets are
employed by the firm.
Activity ratiosfor the most part, turnover ratioscan be used to evaluate the benefits
produced by specific assets, such as inventory or accounts receivable or to evaluate the
benefits produced by the totality of the firms assets.
In common parlance it is understood in the financial world that the better (higher) this
ratio better is the financial health of the company.
i. INVENTORY TURN OVER RATIO
Formula:


It reflects the efficiency of inventory management. The inventory turnover ratio indicates
how quickly a firm has used inventory to generate the goods and services that are sold.
Higher the ratio, higher is the efficiency of inventory management in a company.

ii. RECEIVABLES TURN OVER RATIO
Formula:

()

In much the same way we evaluated inventory turnover, we can evaluate a firms
management of its accounts receivable and its credit policy. The accounts receivable
turnover ratio is a measure of how effectively a firm is using credit extended to customers.
The reason for extending credit is to increase sales. The downside to extending credit is the
possibility of defaultcustomers not paying when promised. The benefit obtained from
extending credit is referred to as net sales.
Higher is the ratio, higher is the efficiency of receivables management by the company.

iii. FIXED ASSET TURNOVER RATIO
Formula:

Fixed assets here involve namely the property, plant and equipments.
Higher is the ratio, higher is the efficiency of fixed asset utilization by the company.


iv. TOTAL ASSETS TURNOVER RATIO
Formula:

The inventory and accounts receivable turnover ratios reflect the benefits obtained from the
use of specific assets (inventory and accounts receivable). For a more general picture of the
productivity of the firm, we can compare the sales during a period with the total assets that
generated these sales.
One way is with the total asset turnover ratio which tells us how many times during the
year the value of a firms total assets is generated in sales.
Higher is the ratio, higher is the overall efficiency of asset management in the company.
4. PROFIT MARGIN RATIOS
It reflects the relationship between (defined variously) and sales and are usually expressed
in percentages. It gives a good understanding of how well the company utilized its resources
in generating profit and shareholder value. The long term profit of the company is vital for
both the survivability of the company as well as the benefit received by shareholders. They
give us an idea of which factors make up a firms income and are usually expressed as a
portion of each rupee of sales. For example, the profit margin ratios we discuss here differ
only in the numerator. Its in the numerator that we can evaluate performance for different
aspects of the business.


i. GROSS PROFIT MARGIN RATIO
Formula:

Suppose the analyst wants to evaluate how well production facilities are managed. The
analyst would focus on gross profit (sales less cost of goods sold), a measure of income that
is the direct result of production management.
This ratio tells us the portion of each rupee of sales that remains after deducting production
expenses.
ii. OPERATING PROFIT MARGIN RATIO
Formula:

To evaluate operating performance, we need to consider operating expenses in addition to
the cost of goods sold. To do this, we remove operating expenses (e.g., selling and general
administrative expenses) from gross profit, leaving us with operating profit, also referred to
as earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT).


iii. PRE-TAX PROFIT MARGIN RATIO
Formula:

iv. NET PROFIT MARGIN RATIO
Formula:

Both the gross profit margin and the operating profit margin reflect a companys operating
performance. But they do not consider how these operations have been financed. To
evaluate both operating and financing decisions, we need to compare net income (that is,
earnings after deducting interest and taxes) with sales.
The various profit margin ratios reflect profit margins at successive stages. At the final stage,
we have post-tax profit margin ratio referred to more commonly as net profit margin ratio,
which measures the overall effectiveness of production, administration, selling, financing
and tax management.
These ratios provide a valuable understanding of the cost and profit structure of the firm
and enables analyst to identify the sources of business efficiency/inefficiency.
Higher is the value of these ratios, better is the position of the company in terms of
utilizing its resources in generating profit.

v. RETURN ON ASSETS
Formula:

It indicates how profitable a company is relative to its total assets. It illustrates how well
management is employing the companys total assets to make profit.
The higher the ratio, the more efficient management is in utilizing its assets base.
vi. RETURN ON NETWORTH
Formula:

It measures how much the shareholders earned for their investment in the company.
The higher the ratio, the more efficient management is in utilizing its equity base and the
better return is to investors.
vii. RETURN ON CAPITAL EMPLOYED
Formula:

Capital employed= Long term debt + Net worth

This measure narrows the focus to gain a better understanding of a companys ability to
generate returns from its available capital base. It also depicts how the use of leverage
impacts a companys profitability. It is a more comprehensive profitability indicator because
it gauges managements ability to generate earnings from a companys total pool of capital.
The higher the ratio, the more efficient management is in utilizing its total pool of capital
base to generate earnings.

5. RETURN ON INVESTMENT RATIOS
It reflects the relationship between profit and investment. Return on investment ratios
makes a lot of economic sense. Return-on-investment ratios compare measures of benefits,
such as earnings or net income, with measures of investment.
i. RETURN ON ASSETS
Formula:

It measures the overall efficiency of capital invested in the business. If you want to evaluate
how well the firm uses its assets in its operations, you could calculate the return on assets.


ii. EARNING POWER
Formula:

It focuses on operating performance and is not influenced by the financial leverage and tax
structure. This measure deals with earnings from operations; it does not consider how these
operations are financed.
iii. RETURN ON EQUITY
Formula:

It measures the productivity of funds by equity shareholders. If we look at the information
as investors, we may not be interested in the return the firm gets from its total investment
(debt plus equity), but rather shareholders are interested in the return the firm can generate
on their investment. The return on equity is the ratio of the net income shareholders receive
to their equity in the stock.
The higher the ratio, the more efficient management is in utilizing its equity base and the
better return is to investors.


6. VALUATION RATIOS
It indicates how the equity stock of the company is assessed in the capital market. Since the
market value of equity reflects combined influence of risk and return, the valuation ratios
may be deemed as the most comprehensive measure of a firms performance.
i. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Formula:

This figure tells us what profit has been earned by the common shareholder for every share
held.
It serves no purpose to compare the earnings per share in one company with that in another
because a company can elect to have a large number of shares of low denomination or a
smaller number of higher denominations. A company can also decide to increase or decrease
the number of shares on issue. This decision will automatically alter the earnings per share.
While the absolute value of earning per share tells nothing about a companys performance,
the growth in EPS over time is a very important statistics.
Growth in EPS tells us more about a companys progress than growth in absolute profits.
Growth in profits can result from great many things. For instance, a company could acquire
another for shares and thereby increase its profits. However, if the percentage increase in
profits is less than the percentage increase in number of shares, EPS will fall even with
higher profits.

Growth in EPS has a significant influence on the market price of the share. Not only is
the growth important but also its stability. A high quality rating is given to earnings that
are showing steady, non-volatile growth.
ii. DIVIDENDS PER SHARE
Formula:

The total return to the shareholder over time consists of the dividend received plus the
growth in share price. While for some investors growth is important, many shareholder and
potential investors pay very close attention to dividends.
Companies dislike having to reduce the dividend because this will drive away investors
with possibly serious effects on share price.
iii. PRICE-EARNINGS RATIO
Formula:

It primarily reflects growth prospects, risk characteristics, shareholder orientation, corporate
image and degree of liquidity.
The company has no direct control over the ratio. It may influence it over the short term by a
good public relations exercise. In the long run, however, it must deliver a good return to the
equity shareholder to secure a continued high rating.

Higher value of ratio indicates that the stock of the company is assessed high in the
capital market, showing better performance of the company. The wealth of the companys

owners is increased in proportion. New funds can be raised at favorable price. The
possibility of a successful hostile takeover bid is much reduced. Most importantly, the
company has the means to make acquisitions on a favorable term by using papers
(shares) as opposed to cash.
iv. YIELD
Formula:

Yield, reflecting the rate of return on the equity stock, may be split into two parts:
Dividend/Initial price + Price change/Initial price
(Dividend yield) (Capital gains yield)
Higher value of ratio indicates better performance of the company which results in the
stock of the company being assessed high in the capital market.
v. MARKET PRICE TO BOOK VALUE RATIO
Formula:

It shows the value that the market places on every rupee of book investment in the
company.
Higher is the ratio, better it is for the company.

vi. DIVIDEND PAY-OUT RATIO
Formula:

Companies adopt dividend policies to suit their business needs. Fast growing companies
have a great need for cash and they pay out little. On the other hand stable low growth
companies pay out a high percentage of earnings. Public utility companies are noted for
high stable payout policies. They are therefore very popular with the investors for whom
income is the main consideration.
On the other hand, some computer companies have never paid out dividend, even though
have made large profits over many years. These companies attract investors who look for
capital growth.
The importance of the dividend pay-out ratio is the indication it gives of the future
growth of the dividend:
A low pay-out ratio suggests that the dividend is fairly safe, because it can
be maintained in the face of any unexpected downturn in the profit.
A low pay-out also indicates a high retention policy, which suggests that
the company is aiming at high growth.


7. OPERATING PERFORMANCE RATIO

These ratios give the measure of effectiveness with which a company converts its
sales into cash and thus increases shareholders value.
Higher is this ratio, better is the financial health of the company.
i. FIXED ASSET TURNOVER RATIO
Formula:

Fixed assets here involve namely the property, plant and equipments.
Higher is the ratio, higher is the efficiency of fixed asset utilization by the company.
ii. SALES REVENUE TO EMPLOYEE RATIO
Formula:

A labour intensive company will have a lower value for this ratio when compared with a
capital intensive company. Therefore one should either compare historical data of the firm
or compare the ratio of two similar companies.
Higher is the value of the ratio, higher is the efficiency of utilization of labour force of the
company.


8. OPERATING CYCLES
Liquidity depends not just on the size of the current assets. The composition and the quality
of the current assets affect the liquidity. How liquid are the debtors? The ratio used to assess
the quality or the liquidity of debtors is called debtors turnover.
Formula:

Debtor turnover ratio can also be determined in terms of days: debtor days or average
collection period. The ratio in days will show the number of days of sale remaining in the
form of debtors.

Formula:

Is the company having slow moving inventory? Can the company convert inventory into
sales as when required to meet the short term liabilities? These questions can be answered
partly by the inventory turnover ratio. Inventory turnover shows relationship between
inventory and sales.
Formula:

Conventionally, higher the ratio better is the quality of inventory or better is the liquidity
position of the company
Inventory turnover can also be calculated in terms of days.
Formula:

Operating cycle represents the time take for converting the stock into cash. It represents the
working capital cycle. It is also defined as the average time between purchasing inventory
and receiving cash from its sale. It shows how long cash gets stuck in receivables and
inventory.
Formula:
Operating Cycle = Debtor day + Inventory Days Creditor days
Lower is the operating cycle; lower is the time between purchasing inventory and
receiving cash from its sale and better it is for the efficiency of the company.

ACCOUNTING OF OMC TRANSACTIONS

After the dismantling of Administered Price Mechanism (APM) on 1.4.2002, the heads of the
OMC companies happen to meet at headquarters every fortnightly and settle the prices of
the various goods that are needed to be transacted. Some of the details of the accounting
procedures that are being followed are written next.
The various companies that are involved are as follows:-
a) IOCL, their successors and assigns
b) BPCL, their successors and assigns
c) HPCL, their successors and assigns
d) IBP (now a division of IOCL)


2.1 PRODUCTS INVOLVED
The major products that are involved in the OMC transactions are:
Motor Spirit (MS)
High Speed Diesel (HSD)
Superior Kerosene Oil (SKO) for Public Distribution System(PDS)
Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF)
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) for domestic consumption
2.2 DETERMINATION OF QUANTITY
All the measurements for the purpose of billing are done on the basis of volume determined
at 15
0
degree C for MS, HSD, SKO and on weight basis for LPG i.e. MT (Metric Ton).
Products can be purchased directly from refineries or upcountry locations, and moved
coastally to destinations by one OMC and if stored in other OMC terminals due to lack of
storage problem treated on safe keeping accounts as mutually agreed.
2.3 PRICING ELEMENTS
The comprehensive list of pricing elements can be had from the Appendix of price elements.
Major ones are described below:-
2.3.1 Refinery Transfer Price (RTP)

The RTP is the price at which the marketing division gets the products from the
refinery division. As refinery division is a separate profit center, the refinery margins
are included in the RTP.

All the inland refineries of the Indian Oil are attached to a port refinery. For the
purpose of accounting of OMC transactions, the RTP of the port refinery that is

attached to the inland refinery is being charged. This concept is known as the Import
Parity Price (IPP). The port refinerys RTP is same as that of its IPP. For a detailed
knowledge of the inland and port refineries, please refer to the Appendix. Some
details are also given below.
Refinery Transfer Price (basic price)LPG:-
It is in line with the import parity price as advised by Head Office pricing
from time to time and the same is being governed by relevant clauses of agreement.

2.3.2 Terminal ling charges (for MS , HSD and SKO)
In addition to the basic price, terminal ling charges as per the rates given below is
paid to assisting OMC and their owned/ associate/ JV refineries for usage of
facilities by assisted OMC for rail/road and pipeline dispatches.

Table 1: Terminal ling charges
For Products other than LPG
Mode of delivery Rs./MT
Rail / Road dispatches 96.39
Pipeline dispatches 27.92
Local pipeline transfers 15.00


2.3.3 Excise Duty, Taxes and Other Statutory levies
Local sales tax payable on sales/purchase transactions if any will be paid by the
assisted company to the assisting company on the due date of payment as per
applicable sales tax laws.
Settlement of irrecoverable taxes and CST between the OMCs is governed by the
scheme of Govt. of India.
In OMC transactions, various other taxes are also there such as VAT (Value Added
Tax), GST (Goods & Services Tax) and other service taxes. For the current rates, refer
to Appendix. For a typical debt note refer appendix.
As regards the CST element on Inter Oil Company transactions wherever involved,
necessary liability will be created on provisional basis for oil companies and the
same will be projected provisionally as under recovery under under/over recovery
CST-OMC transactions. Likewise, any CST payment made by IOCL on sale of
product to OMCs shall be booked as receivable from the respective oil companies.
Any other irrecoverable levies involved and incurred by IOCL on OMC transaction
is accounted under irrecoverable levies OMC transactions.

2.4 ACCOUNTING OF LPG BULK RECEIPTS

The accounting procedure for LPG is quite different from that of other products.
Some important concepts in this regard are being discussed below:
By Road:-
The quantity of the product received by the operating company by tank
Lorries will be determined by weighing the full and empty tank Lorries and the
difference in the weights shall constitute the weight of the net product received. Any
shortages observed will be recorded on the reverse of the tank lorry invoices and the
vehicle drivers signature will be obtained. Transit losses are to be borne / settled by
the assisted company / operating company who moves the product.
By Rail:-
The receipt by tank wagons will be accounted for on the basis of dispatch document
quantity less 0.15% stock loss (lump sum) on account of transit losses.
By Pipeline:-
The receipt by pipeline is accounted as per the mass flow meter installed at
operating company bottling plant. The accuracy of the mass flow meters would be
+/- 0.05% or the accuracy as mutually agreed with the pipeline service provider
whichever is higher. The mass flow meters would be stamped by weights &
measures dept. of the respective states.


Terminal ling charges:
LPG:-
Refineries commissioned prior to 01.04.1998 : Rs. 208/- per MT
Refineries commissioned post to 01.04.1998 : Rs. 313/- per MT

IMPACT OF OMC TRANSACTIONS ON IOCL

Although the net effect on the economy as a whole of the OMC transactions is nil
due to the fact that when one company is assisted from incurring losses then the
other assisting company is providing its services to the assisted company. But this
effect when is seen in isolation for each company is different. This difference is
pertaining to the difference in the infrastructure that the company have and the
market share it possess. Thus, taking the view of IOCL, the effect is also not nil. This
chapter deals with the calculation of impact of OMC transactions in Delhi state
locations that is there for the last quarter of the year 2008-2009. This chapter also
deals with the in-depth analysis of the product wise profitability when it is sold
through the OMC route as compared to retail route.
3.1 DATA COLLECTED
For the purpose of analysis only the marketing locations of Delhi state is selected,
studied and analyzed. Actually the whole India operations are divided into 8 state
offices, namely, Delhi state office, UP state office1, UP state office 2, Gujarat state
office, Rajasthan state office, Punjab state office, Karnataka state office and Andhra
state office. The states that come under Delhi zone are Delhi and Haryana.
The locations that come under Delhi are:-
Location Code
Bijwasan 119
Shakur Basti 124
Palam AFS 141
NITC Palam 640

The RTP for these areas are that of Mathura refinery. This is due to the fact that these
areas are linked to the nearest refinery, Mathura and all the products come at these
locations from that refinery only. But the Import Parity Price (IPP) of these locations
corresponds to the RTP of Kandla port. This is due to the fact that the billings of the
OMC transactions are done at IPP, which is just the same price at which the product
must have been imported from third party. The ATF is not accounted by this
mechanism. For ATF, the RTP of the inland refinery itself is the IPP.

3.2 PRODUCT WISE IMPACT ANALYSIS
The products that were transacted through OMC at Delhi locations in the time period of last
quarter of 2008-09 are:-
SKO (Superior Kerosene Oil)
Euro-III MS (Motor Spirit)
BS-III HSD (High Speed Diesel)

Product code is 32. The quantities of ATF that is being transacted through the OMC
route is tabulated below:-

For the location Bijwasan, the RTP is the RTP of Mathura refinery and Import Parity
Price is that of Kandla refinery. For Palam AFS and NITC Palam, who majorly deals
with the ATF, the RTP as well as IPP of their products is the RTP of Mathura
refinery. Thus, the following table depicts the various rates that prevailed.

With the help of the data that is refined above, profit/loss that was incurred through
OMC transactions was calculated. The cost is given in the table. The selling price is
the IPP of that particular location, as all the billings are done in the IPP as per the
agreement.

3.3 RETAIL Vs OMC ANALYSIS
The two options that the company have in front of them are firstly, through OMC or
secondly through the retail route. Indian oil sells the goods and services to OMCs at
almost par. But as the petroleum sector is under the regulation of the government,
the retail rates are subsidized so as to keep the burden away from the general public.
Thus, it is imperative to calculate the difference of profit/loss by the way of above
mentioned routes. For the purpose of simplicity, the average retail price for major
products is compared to the average OMC selling price and hence a net profit or loss
figure (approximate) is calculated.
The following are the Ex-depot rates (of March 09) of the Bijwasan terminal:-
Product RTP Ex-depot Cost Profit/loss
OMC Retail
ATF 18,447 19,733 17,952 494 1,781
BS III HSD 18,820 21,220 18,511 309 2,709

SKO 20,111 8,035 18,821 1,290 -10,785
Thus from the above made analysis it is clear that the OMC sales are more profitable
to the company as compared to the retail sales.

Petroleum Product Pricing in India
4.1 Administered Price Mechanism
The country has traditionally operated under an Administered Pricing Mechanism
for petroleum products. The oil companies were told how much to sell and at what
price i.e. the prices as well as the quantity sold was administered/regulated by the
government. This system is based on the retention price concept under which the oil
refineries, oil marketing companies and the pipelines are compensated for operating
costs and are assured a return of 12% post-tax on net worth. Under this concept, a
fixed level of profitability for the oil companies is ensured subject to their achieving
their specified capacity utilisation. Upstream companies, namely ONGC, oil and
GAIL, are also under retention price concept and are assured a fixed return.
The administered pricing policy of petroleum products ensures that products used
by the vulnerable sections of the society, like kerosene, or products used as
feedstocks for production of fertilizer, like naphtha, may be sold at subsidized
prices.
To get a clearer picture let us take a quick look at the selling mechanism of the four
main petroleum products used in India - petrol, diesel, kerosene and LPG.
4.1.1 Petrol (motor spirit)
Earlier, due to government control, price of petrol was always higher than that of
other fuels (like diesel). Petrol prices have been kept at Rs 33 per litre while for diesel
it stands at Rs 17 per litre.
Further, over the years, both petrol and diesel have been amongst the highest taxed
of all commodities through state-related sales tax and customs and excise duties.

All these factors have led to an overall higher consumption and usage for diesel
compared to petrol. Petrol accounts for a sale of 9.3 m tonnes though margins on sale
of petrol are higher than that of diesel.
4.1.2 (High speed) diesel
This is the highest selling amongst the fuels accounting for 85 per cent of the
automotive fuels.
Sales are through two forms - at the wholesale level to state-owned corporations like
the railways and transport companies, and secondly through retail pumps to heavy
commercial vehicles and the agricultural sector.
This is the market, which has caught the eye of most of the leading domestic and
international oil companies, where they visualize greater expansion.
2.4.1 Superior Kerosene Oil (Kerosene)
This is sold through the public distribution system (PDS) of various state
governments and through retail sales outlets. Because of its wide-scale usage the
government has and will continue the subsidy for the PDS kerosene.
2.4.2 LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas)
This is one of the fastest growing segments for oil companies and the consumer base
and the distribution/penetration of the product is growing over the years.


4.2 Mentioned below are some objectives of APM:-

1. To optimize the utilisation of refining and marketing infrastructure by
treating the facilities of all oil companies as common industry infrastructure,
the access of which would be available to oil companies by hospitality
arrangements, thus eliminating wasteful duplication of investment.
2. To make available all products at uniform price ex-all refineries so as to
minimise cross-haulage of products and associated energy costs.
3. To ensure continuous availability of products/crude to refiners by
recognising import needs wherever there are deficits in indigenous
production.
4. To ensure that the returns to oil companies are reasonable, in line with
operational efficiencies as also generation of sufficient resources to enable the
industry to set up facilities to meet the growing needs.
5. To ensure stable prices by insulating domestic market from the volatility of
prices in the international market.
6. To achieve socio-economic objectives of the government by ensuring
availability of certain products at subsidised rates for weaker sections of the
society and priority sectors in the industry through cross-subsidisation of
products.


4.3 Dismantling of APM
On 1 April 2002, the Administered Pricing Mechanism (APM) for petroleum
products was abolished as part of the continuing reform of the petroleum sector
towards a sector based on market mechanism. In theory, Indias public downstream
oil companies would now be free to set retail prices of all petroleum products based
on an international parity pricing formula under the supervision of a petroleum
sector regulator. The Government would abstain from influencing petroleum
product pricing. Up to then, prices were controlled (or administered) for two
transport fuels, petrol and high speed diesel, and two cooking fuels, kerosene and
LPG.
Now the prices for kerosene & LPG are determined on the basis of import parity
prices & for petrol & diesel, it is determined on the basis of trade parity pricing
model. In a situation where there is no domestic manufacture of a product, the cost
of supplying it in the domestic market would be the landed cost, which would be the
import parity price, i.e. the international price plus the insurance and freight cost
plus the customs duty. In a situation (as in India) where there is domestic
manufacture, the import parity price can be taken as the international competitive
price that sets the ceiling for the domestic price. Notional charges are taken as $2/bbl
which includes the free on board price, ocean freight, insurance, exchange rates,
customs duties, losses during transit and port charges. The import parity principle,
in effect, enables Indian refining companies to import at inflated prices, which bear
no relation to the actual cost of production in the country. The notional method of
pricing petroleum products overstates the losses of OMCs. It is important to
differentiate between oil companies losses and under-recoveries. The latter is
purely related to the notional price that the companies would charge if they were
free to do so. The trade-parity pricing model for diesel and petrol is the weighted
average of the import parity and export parity prices in the ratio of 80:20. Trade

parity pricing takes into account the emergence of India as an exporter of products
like petrol and diesel.
Oil companies buy petroleum products from their own refineries on a trade-parity
basis, which to a large extent reflects global prices. However, the government
regulates the sale of petroleum products in India and the PSU oil marketers are
compelled to sell their products below cost. However, under the current subsidy
mechanism, the government compensates for almost 76% of the losses by way of oil
bonds and discounts from the upstream oil firms namely, ONGC, GAIL and OIL
leaving 24% to be borne by the oil firms. The government has been issuing special oil
bonds at various intervals to the oil marketing Companies (OMCs) in lieu of the
under-realisation on sale of sensitive petroleum products.
4.4 Under recoveries of Oil Marketing Companies
Under recoveries by the Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) have been rising with the
spiraling crude prices. The following table shows the data for the past few years
showing the amount of under recoveries on different petroleum products.
Under Recovery 2004-05 2005-06 2006-07 2007-08
PDS Kerosene 9480 14384 17883 19102
Domestic LPG 8362 10246 10701 15523
Petrol 150 2723 2027 7332
Diesel 2154 12647 18776 35166
Total 20146 40000 49387 77123


This year, State-run Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), Hindustan Petroleum
Corporation (HPCL) and Bharat Petroleum Corporation (BPCL) together are
reported to lose Rs1,03,908 crores on fuel sale in fiscal 2008-09. OMCs are currently
losing Rs 0.5 on every litre on petrol they sell, Rs 32 per 14.5 kg domestic LPG
cylinder and Rs 12 per litre on PDS kerosene. However, Diesel is earning a surplus of
Rs 3 per liter.

Total 286.45 455.40 545.74 1029.67
Net under recovery (Borne by OMCs) 113.55 38.45 172.33 9.41


4.6 Impact of crude oil prices on under recoveries
After a brief honeymoon with over-recoveries on sale of petrol and diesel, the
countrys oil marketing companies are back to square one, reporting under-
recoveries on the sale of these subsidized products.
From an over-recovery of as high as Rs 12.35 on a litre of petrol and Rs 2.70 on diesel
in the first fortnight of December 2008, the OMCs are back to reporting under-
recoveries on petrol at Rs 1.40 and a marginal over-recovery of 0.80 paise on sale of
diesel currently.
While margins on petrol remained flat in February, diesel was fetching positive
margins of Rs 4.35 to the OMCs. However, these margins were eroded when crude
oil spiked to an average $46.02 per barrel in March, from $43.22/barrel in February.
The companies are still making losses of Rs 9 per litre on sale of kerosene and Rs 117
per cylinder of on sale of per cylinder of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).

However, it is considered that the over-recovery or under-recovery did not impact
the company as long as the government issued adequate bonds to cover up such
losses.
While these companies are required to sell petrol, diesel, LPG and kerosene at
subsidised rates, the losses incurred in the process get compensated through grants
of government bonds.
Crude oil was trading around $40 per barrel in January against $35 in December
2008. The Indian crude basket price has averaged $50.87 per barrel in April,
compared with $46.02 in March.
However, OMCs are deriving solace from that fact that their daily under-recoveries
have fallen from close to Rs 500 crore per day in April 2008 to Rs 60 crore a day in
April 2009 an 88 per cent decrease.
Starting with a projected under-recovery of Rs 2,45,000 crore at the beginning of the
financial year 2008-09, the OMCs closes the year with Rs 1,03,908 crore a decrease
of approx. 57 per cent. However, they have been compensated with Rs 70,967 crore
in the form of government bonds, while another Rs 32,000 crore have been absorbed
by the upstream companies.
The average Crude Oil price has hardened in the past couple of months. The average
price was at $ 43 per barrel in February, $47 per barrel in March, $51 per barrel in
April and $54 per barrel in May. Current under-recoveries are Petrol Rs 0.5 per liter,
Kerosene Rs 12 per liter, LPG Rs 32 per cylinder. However, Diesel is earning a
surplus of Rs 3 per liter.
Thus, it can be said that the OMCs could continue to report under-recoveries as long
as crude prices rule above $45 per barrel.


4.7 Price Gap
Crude oil accounts for some 90 per cent of the cost of production of refined
petroleum products, it is to be expected that crude and retail product prices move in
tandem. However, the Indian retail prices are not fully reflective of the changes in
crude prices, as the data in Table below demonstrate.
As of March Crude oil price per barrel*(in $) Retail price per litre, in Delhi (in Rs.)
2005 43.47 43.23
2006 60.30 49.16
2007 65.93 49.53
2008 86.58 50.51
2009 46.02 40.47
* London (Brent) price
If we go by the 2005 and 2008 prices changes, the change in crude price [86.58
(2008)/43.47(2005)] would imply a present Indian retail price of 2 x the price in 2002,
or a little less than Rs 86, which is way above the current Rs 50.51. Also if we
compare the crude prices of 2005 and 2009, the change in the crude prices
[46.02(2009)/43.47(2005)] would imply a present retail price of 1.06 x the price of
2005, i.e. nearly equal Rs. 45.58 which is above the current price of Rs. 40.47 .
Also in 2005, the retail price was Rs. 43.23 as against the crude oil price of
43.47$/barrel which in a way is higher than the current retail price of Rs. 40.47
against the crude oil price of 46.02$/barrel.

Therefore, despite the Government announcement to dismantle the Administered
Price Mechanism (APM) effective from April 2002, Government is still controlling
the prices of petrol, diesel, PDS kerosene and domestic LPG.
Despite tremendous changes in international oil prices, the Government has not
increased prices of kerosene sold under the public distribution system and cooking
gas. The Government has only brought a marginal change in petrol and diesel prices.

4.8 Past trend v/s present scenario
The past formula specifies that the government would issue oil bonds worth 42.7%
of the losses while 33.3% would be borne by upstream companies, and the remaining
24% by the OMCs.
However, the government has now increased (applicable for FY 2008-09) the
proportion of oil bonds to 57%, against the past 42.7% of the under-recoveries, along
with granting SLR status to the bonds, to reduce the burden borne directly by
OMCs. The under-recoveries by the oil companies were Rs 718.08bn for 2007-08.
Based on the past burden-sharing formula, the government issued bonds worth Rs
306.62bn.

However, looking at the figures of FY 2008-09, it can be seen that the government
has issued oil bonds more than the decided proportion of 57%. Also the burden
borne by the upstream companies as well as the OMCs was less than the decided.
This way government came to the rescue of OMC helping them reduce their losses.

CHAPTER 5
CONCLUSION

Conclusion
As Government-owned oil companies are forced to sell petroleum products at
subsidised prices, each increase in crude oil prices means additional burden of so-
called under recoveries on the companies. Therefore, the oil companies are cutting
costs by:-
Reducing fuel inventories to cut daily working capital

Processing sour crude oil in large amount, which is cheaper than sweet crude
oil

Increasing refinery capacity utilization

Liquidating oil bonds

Borrowing more funds

The present market share of the oil PSUs are 98.85% for diesel and 96.8% for petrol
which makes it clear that the competition from the private sector has been virtually
eliminated due to avoidance of private companies from the subsidy package. Also,
the under-recoveries for the oil marketing companies are partly getting compensated
by high refining margins and to some extent by the issue of oil bonds by the
Government and discounts from upstream companies like ONGC & GAIL. Refining
margins may continue to be high because of a shortage of petrol and diesel globally
and higher capacity utilisation of refineries. Refining margins are continuing to
increase almost in tandem with crude oil.


Therefore it is believed that the present subsidy sharing mechanism is positive for all
the oil marketing companies and due to this formula; oil marketing companies will
only bear 10% of the gross under-recoveries from 24%.
Going forward, the performance of state-run OMCs will continue to depend on the
support they receive from the government. The Government has therefore taken a
decision in favour of Oil Marketing Companies, on rising crude oil prices and
petroleum products prices, in order to reduce the burden of their under recoveries.

Why the OMCs transactions are important?
OMC transactions are important due to certain reasons. Some of them are stated as follows:-
i. Huge Capital Requirement
ii. Feasibility
iii. Requirement of Large place
iv. Cost Beneficial

i. Huge Capital Requirement: - In order to set up refineries to cater the
requirement of the petroleum products in the market. As per the survey the
requirement of the Indian market is one petrol pump at each kilometer. It is
very important for a company to open that many outlets so that the
requirement can be fulfilled. In order to open those many outlets huge
amount of capital is required. Therefore to avoid the usage of huge capital it is
very important that oil companies should go under the OMC transactions.

ii. Feasibility: - It is not feasible for a company to open their own outlets &
refineries at every kilometer and every point respectively. Therefore it is very
important that the Oil Marketing Companies should sell their product to each
other companies. So that the amount spent on opening of the refineries and
the surplus amount available with the refineries can be sold to other
companies.

iii. Requirement of Large place: - To open a refinery a large place is required and
that is to in a isolated place far from the residential area. The requirement of
so big place is the biggest problem for any company these days. Therefore
OMC transactions are the best solution for the problem.

iv. Cost Beneficial: - As all the Oil Companies dont have their refineries all over,
it is very costly affair for the company to transport the products to their retail
outlet and depots. This all increases the cost of the product while reaching the
destination. Therefore by indulging into the OMC transactions the company
tries to reduce the transportation cost by exchanging their product from the
depots.

After doing the in-depth financial analysis of the OMC transaction, it is
desirable to transform the learnings into conclusions and hence give
recommendations on them.

Thus the conclusions can be stated as:-
All the four products which were studied viz. ATF, SKO, EURO-III MS and
BS-III HSD is generating net profit for INDIAN OIL in the Delhi based
locations.

The profits that are being generated are due to the fact that there are no
subsidies involved.

OMC transactions are necessary as they bring down the overall cost of
economy and hence help the country as a whole.

Taking the view of INDIAN OIL, it is profitable to sell to OMCs rather than in
retail. This is due to the fact that there are subsidies involved.

Upon taking a deep look at the petroleum sector, it has been felt that the oil
companies are bleeding due to the rampant increase in the Brent Crude prices. Also
as the current year is election year, the Government of India is reluctant to increase
the retail prices. As regards the OMC transactions are concerned the Indian oil is
having the largest market share and is also the largest refinery set up amongst the
PSU companies. Thus the company is in a better position and hence is not much
dependent on the other oil marketing companies for the procurement of goods
except for in the southern region. Overall also the Indian oil is in a stronger position
to provide the other companies with goods and services. Thus there is no choice in
hand of Indian oil whether to say no to any OMC. But it is now established that the
company is making huge profits by the way of OMC transactions and hence the
thrust should be on the OMC transactions.
As the companies have authority to negotiate within themselves, they can make
contracts for those products which are more profitable over others.


The Indian system of petroleum product and crude oil pricing is opaque. While this
project talks about the huge subsidies in the petroleum sector, even this is not yet the
entire story. The net position of the consumer, and tax payer, is not clearly
determined.
The practice of retail price setting was different from the theory right from the
beginning of the post-APM period. The public downstream Oil Marketing
Companies(OMC), implemented regular retail price adjustments for petrol and
diesel during the first two FYs following the abolishment of the APM. Despite these
regular price increases the OMC incurred minor shortfalls for the sale of petroleum
and diesel. However, those shortfalls were mitigated through the refining margins
which now benefited from the import-parity pricing formula.
The intervals between price revisions grew larger, following a few years post
dismantle, and the OMCs started to incur substantial under-recoveries for these two
products in line with the drastic increase in international crude prices. The formula
gave the public the impression that prices were indeed set by the market while in
reality OMCs were still required to seek approval from the Ministry of Petroleum
and Natural Gas for each price adjustment.
In the second section of the project, a comparison was made between the
profitability of the different products under-Retail vs. OMC. The results show
different product to be profitable under different option except Superior Kerosene
Oil which is reporting losses when sold through retail outlet. Also, certain products
seem to be more profitable when sold through retail outlet rather than to OMC. In
spite of this Indian Oil has no option but to provide its petroleum product to the
other OMCs at price as decided by the Government.

Suggestion
1. Promote Participation of private players in the petroleum sector
As part of the petroleum sector reforms the private sector was finally allowed to
retail petrol products. Several domestic private companies invested heavily in
setting up retail stations. Reliance, Indias largest private company, currently
operates over 1,000 retail outlets and had plans to build over 5,000. Given that
private retailers are faced with the option to continuously encounter losses if they
price products on par with subsidized public retailers, or to increase prices and to
lose market share, several private sector companies have put further expansion plans
on hold and are even discussing to exit from the retail sector all together. Moreover,
several private players have also deferred investments in the refinery sector other
than those destined for export. The uncertainty about the Governments long-term
sector policies and the experiences several foreign and domestic private investors
have already made in the natural gas sector, which suffers from a very similar set of
problems, have made international companies cautious about entering Indias
downstream petroleum sector. For a country that aims to grow by over 8% annually
over the next 20 years this is not reassuring. Therefore including private players in
the subsidiary package seems to be necessary.


2. Strengthen the long term policy
The ultimate looser in the current picture are the public oil sector companies. They
do incur heavy losses on the sale of the four products which have been doubling
annually since the APM years. While the companies are still making profits, those
are reducing sharply in terms of installed capacity. This will impact on their capital
investment plans, especially in the refining sector which has the potential to
jeopardize the long-term security in the petroleum sector. Increasing R&D
investments might also become more difficult. Indias upstream companies need to
make heavy investments to prevent, or at least, delay the continuous decline of
domestic production. Moreover, India has substantial unexplored acreage of
potential oil and gas deposits, mainly in difficult geological terrain. However, major
foreign oil companies treat cautiously due to the uncertainty of the sectors long term
policy. The OMC are working as per the guidelines provided by the government.
They themselves do not plan much. However the need of the hour is to strengthen
their policies.


3. Effective demand-side management
The central as well as the state exchequers depend substantially on the total
revenues from the petroleum sector. However, the government does incur indirect
losses as for example LPG is converted for other uses and thus, the Government does
not only pay subsidies but looses revenues from higher taxed alternative products. It
is not unusual for Governments worldwide to heavily tax the petroleum sector due
to its low price elasticity which makes it a relatively steady and reliable revenue
source. However, high taxation is generally also seen an instrument of demand side
management. Increasingly, Government is concerned with the externalities of
consumption of petroleum products. Taxation is seen as straight forward instrument
to induce behavioral changes in consumers and foster the development of advanced
technologies. However, in the case of India, despite the high tax portion in final
retail prices, the existing gap between retail price and import or trade parity price
remains thereby undermining the Governments ability for effective demand side
management that is crucial with a view to Indias oil security.


4. Rationalize the economic fuel choices
Indias current pricing system is not conducive to economic decision making by
consumers. Relative prices between alternative fuels are distorted. Price disparities
on account of unequal taxation between petrol and diesel and with other petroleum
products result in inefficient substitution of one fuel with the other. Alteration of
petroleum products, primarily kerosene with diesel, is major problem and caused
substantial leakage of subsidies. Thus, the need to introduce a rational and
transparent energy pricing system is compelling in the broader context of Indias
energy security.


5. Include the real poor in the subsidy package.
Research has consistently shown that subsidies for LPG and kerosene do not reach
the intended beneficiaries. LPG is an urban middle-class fuel. The poor are typically
too poor to be able to afford the purchase cost of a cylinder, which represents a
considerable lump-sum investment to them. Moreover, LPG customers are required
to make a large deposit for the actual cylinder and to pay connection charges. And,
ultimately, they need to owe or buy a purpose-build LPG stove. Several pilot
projects to assist poor families in financing the initial LPG connecting costs are being
implemented, frequently by NGOs. Also, smaller cylinder sizes of 5kg instead of the
typical 14.2kg have been issued by the OMCs to address the problems of the poor
and to make LPG more affordable. Still, it is correct to say that current LPG subsidies
are primarily benefiting a politically well-organized and vocal middle class. It is
easier for the poor to benefit from subsidized kerosene although there are
quantitative restrictions on the availability of kerosene. Still, as kerosene is often
diverted for other uses or is being adulated, poor consumers, especially in remote
rural areas, cannot always claim their allocation. Moreover, there is a question as to
how much kerosene the poor actually consumes per month and whether the
subsidized quantities are not much too large. Therefore a system is required to
address these issues effectively.


6. Create a common market in India
There are public voices in India that claim that their countrys tax structure is even
more diverse than that of the EU. The introduction of the VAT in 2005 and its
gradual adoption by all 28 states and territories is a major step towards a single
Indian market. However, petroleum products are not officially covered under the
VAT and the regional differences in petroleum product retail prices are huge. Thus,
there is currently no common market for petroleum products in India. As long as the
states depend heavily on revenues from the petroleum industry the political
progress towards a harmonized Indian tax system will be limited if the states are not
assured to retain their financial revenues.


LIMITATIONS

1. The study is carried out taking data only for the Bijwasan terminal. Different
results would have been obtained if the study was carried out for the entire
northern region.

2. A comparison of the current year data with the last year results would also have
provided better understanding and estimate. But the last year data was not easily
available.

3. Here only sale and purchase of goods are taken into account as the hospitality
and safe keeping accounts are being provided approximately at par and hence
the effect of these transactions is considered to be negligible on the balance sheet,
considering the huge quantities transacted.

4. The companies that are being considered to be in the consortium are HPCL and
BPCL only as IBP has merged with IOCL in 2007.

FUTURE SCOPE OF PROJECT
This project can be further taken up by the way of removing the limitations mentioned
above. The study can be made on a pan India basis and also for the whole of the financial
year. This way a better picture of the OMCs operations can be made.

Major Indian Oil Refineries in India
1. Panipat Refinery
Panipat Refinery is an oil refinery that was set up in 1998. It is located in Baholi
village, Panipat, Haryana. Panipat is the seventh refinery belonging to Indian Oil
Corporation Limited. The cost of the refinery's construction was Rs 9024 crores. It
has a capacity of twelve MMTPA.
The refinery's highlights include:
Zero discharge of effluent gases.
The presence of four ambient air monitoring stations that were in place well
before the refinery was in use.
It is an eco-friendly refinery, as indicated by a green belt outside it.
The establishment of a totally electronic-based communication system within
the refinery.
It has the lowest manpower of all refineries in the region with similar
capacities.
Panipat Refinery holds several quality certifications from DNV, including:
ISO 9002
ISO 14001
OHSAS 18001

2. Mathura Refinery

The Mathura Refinery, owned by Indian Oil Corporation, is located in Mathura,
Uttar Pradesh. The refinery processes low sulphur crude from Bombay High,
imported low sulphur crude from Nigeria, and high sulphur crude from the Middle
East.

The refinery, which cost Rs.253.92 crores to build, was commissioned in January,
1982. Construction began on the refinery in October 1972. The foundation stone was
laid by Indira Gandhi, the former prime minister of India. The FCCU and Sulphur
Recovery Units were commissioned in January, 1983. The refining capacity of this
refinery was expanded to 7.5 MMTPA in 1989 by debottlenecking and revamping. A
DHDS Unit was commissioned in 1989 for production of HSD with low sulphur
content of 0.25% wt. (max.). The present refining capacity of this refinery is 8.00
MMTPA.

In January 2009, the plant shut down for a period of time due to a strike.
The refinery was in the news for allegedly causing the white marble of the Taj Mahal
to yellow. It is located about 50 kilometers away from the Taj Mahal. It is currently
asking the Indian government to allow an expansion, raising the capacity to 11
million tonnes. The refinery also wants to create a new garbage disposal site, which
has garnered new outrage from environmental activists because the site will be
located even closer to the Taj Mahal. The India government hired a panel to examine
the effects of the refinery on the Taj Mahal. The panel found that the air has high
levels of suspended particulate matter, caused by factory emissions, dust,
construction, and exhaust from automobiles. These are causing the Taj Mahal to
change colour.
Mathura Refinery is known to be the number one amongst all 14 refineries in India.


3. Haldia Refinery

The Haldia Refinery for processing 2.5 MMTPA of Middle East crude, was
commissioned in January, 1975 with two sectors - one for producing fuel products
and the other for Lube base stocks. The refinery is in Haldia near Kolkata (West
Bengal).The fuel sector was built with French collaboration and the Lube sector with
Romanian collaboration. The refining capacity of the Refinery was increased to 2.75
MMTPA in 1989 through debottlenecking measures. The refining capacity was
further expanded to 3.75 MMTPA with the commissioning of new crude distillation
unit of 1.0 MMTPA in March, 1997. The present refining capacity of this Refinery is
6.00 MMTPA.


4. Barauni Refinery

Barauni Refinery in the Bihar state of India was built in collaboration with the Soviet
Union at a cost of Rs.49.4 crores and went on stream in July, 1964. The initial capacity
of 2 MMTPA was expanded to 3 MMTPA by 1969. The present capacity of this
refinery is 6.00 MMTPA. A Catalytic Reformer Unit (CRU) was also added to the
refinery in 1997 for production of unleaded motor spirit. Projects are also planned
for meeting future fuel quality requirements.
In 1997 the refinery was reported to be the target of Assamese rebels.


5. Guwahati Refinery

Guwahati Refinery is an oil refinery near Guwahati, India owned by the Indian Oil
Corporation

It was the first in the public sector and was set up in collaboration with Romania at a
cost of Rs.17.29 crores and commissioned on 1 January 1962 with a design capacity of
0.75 MMTPA. The present capacity of this Refinery is 1.00 MMTPA.

A hydrotreater unit for improving the quality of diesel has been installed and was
commissioned in 2002. The refinery has also installed in 2003 Indmax Unit, a novel
technology developed by its R&D Centre for upgrading heavy ends LPG, motor
spirit and diesel oil.

As part of a recent culture exchange, Helen Miller-Clarke has commissioned the
building of a mock Guwahati Refinery in Solihull, Birmingham which is due for
completion in June 2008.


6. Gujarat Refinery
The Gujarat Refinery at Koyali (Near Baroda) in Gujarat in Western India is Indian
Oil Corporations largest Refinery. It is the largest Public Sector Refinery of India
and most energy efficient Refinery of IOCL.
Overview
Its facilities include five Atmospheric Crude Distillation Units (ADU). The major
secondary units include CRU, FCCU and the first Hydrocracking unit of the country.
Through a product pipeline to Ahmedabad and a recently commissioned product
pipeline connecting to BKPL product pipeline and also by rail wagons/trucks, the
refinery primarily serves the demand for petroleum products in western and
northern India.
When commissioned, the Refinery had an initial installed capacity of 2 MMTPA
(Million Metric Tonnes Per Annum) and was designed to process crude from
Ankleshwar, Kalol and Nawagam oilfields of ONGC in Gujarat. The Refinery had
further modified to handle imported & Bombay high Crude. Secondary processing
facilities like CRU, FCC, Hydrocracker, DHDS, are also commissioned time to time.
Its present day capacity is 13.70 MMTPA. The company has already commissioned
the facilities for MTBE and Butene-1 production. The refinery also produces a wide
range of specialty products like Benzene, Toluene, MTO, Food Grade Hexane,
solvents, LABFS, etc.
The Gujarat Refinery achieved the distinction of becoming the first refinery in the
India to have completed the DHDS (Diesel Hydro De-sulphurisation) project in June
1999, when the refinery started production of HSD with low sulphur content of
0.25% wt (max.).


History
Following the conclusion of an Indo-Soviet agreement in 1961 February, a site for the
establishment of a 2 MMTPA Oil Refinery in Gujarat at Koyali near Vadodara was
selected on the 17th April 1961. The Soviet and Indian engineers signed a contract in
October 1961 for the preparation of the project report jointly. The first Prime Minister
of India, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru laid the foundation stone of this Refinery on 10
May, 1963.
The Refinery was commissioned with Soviet assistance at a cost of Rs. 26.00 crores
and went on stream in October 1965. The first million tonnes Crude Distillation Unit
was commissioned for trial production on 11 October 1965 and full production at the
rated capacity was achieved on 6 December 1965. The throughput was further
increased by 20% beyond the designed capacity in January 1966.
Dr. S Radhakrishnan, the then President of India, dedicated the refinery to the nation
with the commissioning of second crude distillation unit and Catalytic Reforming
Unit on 18 October, 1966.
The third 1.0 MMTPA crude distillation unit (AU-3) was commissioned in
September 1967 to process Ankleshwar & North Gujarat crudes. In December 1968,
Udex plant was commissioned for production of benzene & toluene using feedstock
available from CRU. By 1974-75 with in-house modifications, the capacity of the
refinery was further increased by 40% to a level of 4.2 MMTPA. To process imported
crude the refinery was expanded during 1978-79 by adding another 3 MMTPA
Crude Distillation unit (AU-4) along with downstream processing units like Vacuum
Distillation, Visbreaker & Bitumen Blowing Unit. By 1980-81 this unit started
processing Bombay High crude in addition to imported crudes. It was for the first
time in Indian petroleum industry that Indian engineers independently handled
such a big project.


To recover high value products from the residue, the secondary processing facilities
consisting of Fluidized Catalytic Cracking Unit (FCCU) of 1.0 MMTPA capacity
along with a Feed Preparation Unit (FCCU) of 1.0 MMTPA capacities, were
commissioned in December 1982. Refinery also set up Pilot Distillation Facilities
(PDF) for the production of N- Heptane & light Aluminum Rolling Oils (LARO).
Meanwhile, to enable absorption of increased indigenous crudes the crude
processing capacity of the refinery was further increased to 9.5 MMTPA.
In 1993-94, Gujarat commissioned the country's first Hydrocracker Unit of 1.2
MMTPA for conversion of heavier ends of crude oil to high value superior products.
Country's first Diesel Hydrodesulphurisation Unit (DHDS) to reduce sulphur
content in diesel was commissioned by Gujarat Refinery in June 1999. Also
commissioned in September eliminate lead in MS. Also MTBE Unit was
commissioned in September 1999 to eliminate lead in MS. Conceptualised and
commissioned South-East Asia's largest centralised effluent treatment plant by
dismantling all the four old ETP's in June 1999. By September 1999 with
commissioning of atmospheric distillation unit (AU-5), Gujarat Refinery further
augmented its capacity to 13.7 MMTPA making it the largest PSU refinery of the
country.
A project for production of high value LAB (Linear Alkyl Benzene -- which is one of
the major raw materials used in manufacturing detergents) from Kerosene streams
has been implemented. In order to meet future fuel quality requirements, MS
Quality improvement facilities was commissioned in 2006.
LAB (Linear Alkyl Benzene): The year 2004-05 marked IndianOils big-ticket entry
into petrochemicals with the commissioning of the countrys largest Linear Alkyl
Benzene (LAB) plant at Gujarat Refinery in August 2004. It is also the largest
grassroots single train Kerosene-to-LAB unit in the world, with an installed capacity

of 1,20,000 MTPA. Currently, two grades of LAB high molecular weight and low
molecular weight are being produced. The quality of the LAB produced here has
found wide acceptance in the domestic and overseas markets. Built at a cost of Rs.
1,248 crore and commissioned in a record 24 months time, the plant produces
superior quality LAB for manufacturing environment-friendly biodegradable
detergents, using state-of-the-art Detal technology from M/s UOP, USA. The key
raw materials for the plant, catering to domestic as well as export market
requirements meeting the latest and most stringent quality standards, are Kerosene
and Benzene produced at Gujarat Refinery.

7. Digboi Refinery
The Digboi Refinery was set up at Digboi in 1901 by Assam Oil Company Ltd.. The
Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (IOC) took over the refinery and marketing management
of Assam Oil Company Ltd. with effect from 1981 and created a separate division.
This division has both refinery and marketing operations. The refinery at Digboi had
an installed capacity 0.50 MMTPA (million metric tonnes per annum). The refining
capacity of the refinery was increased to 0.65 MMTPA by modernization of refinery
in July, 1996. A new delayed Coking Unit of 1,70,000 TPA capacity was
commissioned in 1999. A new Solvent Dewaxing Unit for maximizing production of
microcrystalline wax was installed and commissioned in 2003. The refinery has also
installed Hydrotreater to improve the quality of diesel.

History
The 1860s saw vast industrial development. A lot of petroleum refineries came up.
An important player in the South Asian market then was the Burmah Oil Company
Ltd. Though incorporated in Scotland in 1886, the company grew out of the
enterprises of the Rangoon Oil Company, which had been formed in 1871 to refine
crude oil produced from primitive hand dug wells in Upper Burma.
The search for oil in India began in 1886, when Mr. Goodenough of McKillop
Stewart Company[1] drilled a well near Jaypore in upper Assam and struck oil. In
1889, the Assam Railway and Trading Company (ARTC) struck oil at Digboi
marking the beginning of oil production in India.
While discoveries were made and industries expanded, John D Rockefeller together
with his business associates acquired control of numerous refineries and pipelines to
later form the giant Standard Oil Trust. The largest rivals of Standard Oil - Royal
Dutch, Shell, Rothschilds - came together to form a single organisation: Asiatic
Petroleum Company to market petroleum products in South Asia.

In 1928, Asiatic Petroleum (India) joined hands with Burmah Oil Company - an
active producer, refiner and distributor of petroleum products, particularly in Indian
and Burmese markets. This alliance led to the formation of Burmah-Shell Oil Storage
and Distributing Company of India Limited. A pioneer in more ways than one,
Burmah Shell began its operations with import and marketing of Kerosene. This was
imported in bulk and transported in 4 gallon and 1 gallon tins through rail, road and
country craft all over India. With motor cars, came canned Petrol, followed by
service stations. In the 1930s, retail sales points were built with driveways set back
from the road; service stations began to appear and became accepted as a part of
road development. After the war Burmah Shell established efficient and up-to-date
service and filling stations to give the customers the highest possible standard of
service facilities.
From Burmah Shell to Bharat Petroleum
On 24 January 1976, the Burmah Shell Group of Companies was taken over by the
Government of India to form Bharat Refineries Limited. On 1 August 1977, it was
renamed Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited. It was also the first refinery to
process newly found indigenous crude Bombay High, in the country.
Products
Bharat Petroleum produces a diverse range of products, from petrochemicals and
solvents to aircraft fuel and speciality lubricants and markets them through its wide
network of Petrol Stations, Kerosene Dealers, LPG Distributors, Lube Shoppes,
besides supplying fuel directly to hundreds of industries, and several international
and domestic airlines.
Refineries
BPCL has Refineries at Mumbai and Kochi(Kochi Refineries) with a capacity of 12
Million Metric Tonnes (MMT) and 7.5 MMTPA respectively for refining crude oil.
BPCL's subsidiary at Numaligarh has a capacity of 3 MMT.
International rankings
BPCL is a Fortune Global 500 company as per the ranking of 2008. It was ranked at
position 287. It was ranked at position 325 as per the ranking of 2007.
BPCL was featured on the Forbes Global 2000 list for 2008 at position 967


Reliance Petroleum

Reliance Petroleum Limited was set up by Reliance Industries Limited (RIL), one of
India's largest private sector companies. Currently, RPL is subsidiary of RIL. RPL
also benefits from a strategic alliance with Chevron India Holdings Pte Limited,
Singapore, a wholly owned subsidiary of Chevron Corporation USA (Chevron),
which currently holds a 5% equity stake in the Company.
Jamnagar Refinery
Refining activities of Reliance Industries Limited are carried out at the Jamnagar
refinery complex with refining capacity of 27 million tonnes per annum (540,000
barrels per day).
The refinery is able to process a wide variety of crudes- from very light to very
heavy (from 18 to 45 degree API) and from sweet to very heavy (with sulphur
content from 0 to 4.5%).
RPL commenced its crude processing on 25 December 2008. The secondary
processing units are now under synchronization and commissioning. The entire
refinery complex is expected to attain full capacity shortly.
With an annual crude processing capacity of 580,000 barrels (92,000 m3) per stream
day (BPSD), RPL will be the sixth largest refinery in the world. It will have a
complexity of 14.0, using the Nelson Complexity Index, ranking it amongst the
highest in the sector. The polypropylene plant will have a capacity to produce 0.9
million metric tonnes per annum.
The refinery project is being implemented at a capital cost of Rs 270,000 million
being funded through a mix of equity and debt. This represents a capital cost of less
than US $10,000 per barrel per day and compares very favourably with the average
capital cost of new refineries announced in recent years. The International Energy
Agency (IEA) estimates the average capital cost of new refinery in the OECD nations
to be in the region of US $15,000 to 20,000 per barrel per day. The low capital cost of
RPL becomes even more attractive when adjusted for high complexity of the
refinery.

Upcoming Project of Indian Oil Corporation Limited
Paradip Refinery
Indian Oil Corporation's refinery project at Paradip in Orissa would be operational
from November 2012 after its completion in August that year.
Work on the IOC's refinery project, is running behind its original schedule of going
to operation in 2010, is now on full swing with the public sector oil company having
spent Rs 1,600 crore so far on the project.
The new schedule of commissioning the refinery project was informed to Orissa
Chief Secretary A.K. Tripathy through a letter signed by IOC's Director (Projects)
B.N. Bankapura.
The State government had signed an MoU with IOC on February 16, 2004 for setting
up the refinery with a capacity of 9 MTPA.
However, the capacity of the proposed refinery was later enhanced to 15 MTPA with
an investment of Rs 45,000 crore.
The company had also proposed a petro-chemical complex along with the refinery
project.
The board of directors, reduced the project cost to Rs 29,777 crore citing global
meltdown.
Company is already looking after the procurement of equipment and engaging
contractors in Paradip.
The construction of roll-on and roll-off jetty has already begun, and the jetty facilities
would be in place by August 2009.
The jetty would be used to offload large equipments for the refinery.
