September 21, 2018: Pricing of petroleum products in India is different from that in other countries mainly because of the under-recovery and subsidy factors. There are certain important terms in pricing of petroleum products which are helpful in understanding the pricing mechanism. Click column Special Database for details.
September 20, 2018: India is now Asia's largest exporter of petroleum products. The surplus story begins from fiscal 2001-02 . Surplus rose consistently from 3.9 million metric tonnes and touched an all-time high of 62 million metric tonnes in 2013-14 and dipped to 49.5 million metric tonnes in 2017-18.

September 19, 2018: In view of the stagnating domestic crude oil production, the management of Oil India Ltd (OIL) took a deliberate decision to acquire oil and gas assets overseas. It has halted overseas acquisition for the time being. Its global footprints include stakes in some major projects. Click column Special Database for details of these overseas assets.
September 10, 2018: Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) is a corporate giant: the country’s largest crude refiner and marketing company with retail outlets in every nook and corner. With its LNG regasification terminal at Ennore in the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu which is being commissioned, IOC was planning a major foray into the gas sector. IOC could scare away Shell and Gaz de France from the proposed floating LNG terminal at Andhra coast. It tantalized GSPC and Adani with offers to pick up equity stakes in their Mundra and Dhamra LNG terminals. Both the proposals now remain stalemated. Will IOC invest in any project to be a junior partner? Can junior partners survive in any Joint Venture dominated by IOC?
