March 5, 2021: Indian economy has been recovering from the negative impact of the prolonged lockdown. The performance of the auto sector is an indication of the trend in which the economy is growing. The passenger vehicle and two wheeler sales registered an impressive growth in January 2021. Click column Special Database for details.

February 25, 2021 | Privatisation Not The Answer To Consumer Woes: The Modi government wanted to inject competition in India’s petroleum industry by privatising the second largest and the most efficient Oil Marketing PSU, Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL). This policy stance has not met with any great resistance from any quarter save for some muted expressions of restiveness from the trade unions. But it forces us to now confront the question that has loomed before us: does competition in the petroleum sector really yield efficiency gains for the consumer? It must be acknowledged that fair competition helps create a healthy market that ultimately benefits the consumer and the market players themselves. However the phrase has never been clearly defined in the Indian context. What precisely did petroleum minister Dharmendra Pradhan mean when he spoke of competition? Can mere privatization of BPCL raise the level of competition in India's oil and gas sector? Click Free Access column Petro Intelligence for an insightful piece on the subject.

On April 10, 2018 www.indianoilandgas.com entered the 25th year of service to the Indian and international oil and gas industry. When the hardcopy version with its masthead, Indian Oil & Gas, came out 25 years ago, India’s petroleum industry was almost totally controlled by the government. India was not rated high either as a producer or consumer of crude and petroleum products. Today, India is the world’s third largest importer of crude and second largest importer of LPG and Asia’s largest exporter of petroleum products. Without violating the government norms regarding dissemination of information, www.indianoilandgas.com has been consistently helping the industry with authentic articles and data on all areas of oil and gas industry.
