Expression of Interest (EOI) for carrying out

ALL INDIA STUDY ON SECTORAL DEMAND FOR DIESEL & PETROL

1. Background

Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell (PPAC) was formed by the Government
of India through a notification with effect from 01.04.2002 as an attached
office of the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas. Its major activities inter alia
are:

a) Administration of subsidy on PDS Kerosene and Domestic LPG

trends
f) Operationalizing the sector specific surcharge schemes, if any.

Diesel is sold mainly through retail outlets. The exact information on sector-
wise sales of Diesel / Petrol is not maintained by dealers operating the retail
outlets. In order to estimate the sector-wise/segment-wise sale of Diesel /
Petrol sold through the retail outlets Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell
(PPAC) & PSU Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) jointly propose to commission
an ALL INDIA STUDY ON SECTORAL DEMAND FOR DIESEL & PETROL. This EOI is
being issued by PPAC on behalf of PPAC & OMCs.

2. Scope of Job
