Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) is one of India largest
PSU companies, with global fortune 500 rank of 287 (2008). Its corporate
office is located at Ballard Estate, Mumbai.
Refinery Industry
Indian refineries have in general been able to improve their performance
over the past 5 years despite the challenges of the installation of new energy
intensive processing units at the same time as distillation capacity has
expanded by over 75%. Further gains are possible, as indicated by the large
efficiency gap between the EIL benchmark values for each processing unit
and the range of actual performance found during the 1995/96 survey. In
total, savings of 20% are possible in the process units at public-sector
refineries, while savings of 15-43% are possible in the steam and utilities
systems.
Fundamental Analysis
Fundamental analysis is the examination of the underlying forces that
affect the interests of the economy, industrial sectors, and companies. It tries
to forecast the future movement of the capital market using signals from the
economy, industry and company.
Fundamental analysis requires an examination of the market from a broader
perspective. The presumption behind fundamental analysis is that a thriving
economy fosters industrial growth which leads to development of
companies.
There are two analyses:
1. Economic Analysis.
2. Industry Analysis.
Economic analysis
It implies the examination of GDP, government financing, government
borrowing, consumer durable goods market, non-durable goods and capital
goods market, savings and investment pattern, interest rates, inflation rates,
tax structure, foreign direct investment and money supply.
Government expenditure
From a modest beginning with the capacity of 0.25 million tonnes per
annum when planning began, the Indian petroleum-refining industry has
come of age with an annual capacity of 45.55 million tonnes at the end of
the sixth Five-Year Plan. The rapid expansion of refining capacity has
enabled the country to achieve a considerable degree of self-sufficiency in
petroleum products and has encouraged the creation of fertilizer,
petrochemical, and tertiary downstream industries.
Revenues
The latest India Oil & Gas Report from BMI forecasts that the country will
account for 11.23% of Asia Pacific regional oil demand by 2013, while
providing 10.85% of supply. Asia Pacific regional oil use of 21.40mn barrels
per day (b/d) in 2001 reached 25.68mn b/d in 2007. It should average
26.32mn b/d in 2008, and then rise to around 29.65mn b/d by 2013. In terms
of natural gas, in 2007 the region consumed 421bn cubic meters (bum), with
demand of 595bcm targeted for 2013. Production of 336bcm in 2007 should
reach 483bcm in 2013, but implies net imports rising from 85bcm per
annum in 2007 to 111bcm in 2012. This is in spite of many Asian gas
producers being major exporters. India's share of gas consumption in 2007
was 9.55%, while its share of production was 8.98%. By 2013, its share of
gas consumption is forecast to be 10.22%, with the country accounting for
10.34% of supply. The country sits well ahead of the Philippines and
Pakistan, and just three points behind Vietnam. The country is still second
behind China in the league table in BMI's updated Downstream Business
Environment rating, reflecting its status as a high-growth energy market with
strongly positive population and demand trends, plus a low level of retail
site intensity. It is just ahead of Singapore, with scope to pull away from the
more mature Asian energy economy.
Industry analysis
Michael Porter has identified five forces which determine the long-run
attractiveness of a market
segment. Hence this model can be studied keeping the BPCL in mind.
Research Overview
Strategic Analysis of Oil and Gas Sector in India provides a comprehensive
overview of the oil and gas sector in India, covering its entire value chain. In
this research, we examine the following segments of the industry: oil and
gas upstream, petroleum downstream, and natural gas downstream.
This comprehensive, objective information allows your company to mitigate
risk, identify new opportunities, and drive effective strategies for growth.
Market Overview
With margins under pressure, Indian refiners have begun to integrate with
value-added products such as petrochemicals, and invest in methods to
improve distillate yields. Moreover, in response to the regulated product
prices in the domestic market, the private sector refiners have moved to sell
major shares of their products in the export market. “As crude prices have
increased, the spotlight is on widening the gross refining margins by up-
grading heavy gas oils and vacuum residue to fuel products,”. To gain
additional revenue, Indian refineries are also integrating horizontally to
venture into the production of more value-added products.
Industry
The Indian petrochemicals industry is finally discarding its nascent stage tag
and the companies are now vying for a major chunk of the global pie of the
petrochemicals market. Indian major Reliance has recently acquired a
German polyester major Trevira GmbH and this marks the private sector
giant's entry into the European markets in a big way. At the same time,
ONGC and IOC are planning entry into the business in a major way as this
is in line with their forward integration plans.
Weaknesses:
Threats:
Taking a cue from their global counterparts, Indian majors such as IOC and
ONGC are entering into this value add business in a huge way and this is
likely to change the entire business dynamics of the companies, not only in
India but Asia as Asia is fast becoming the largest petrochemicals
manufacturing hub. Going forward, investors need to be aware of this reality
and make informed investment decisions in the energy sector.
BRIEF ABOUT THE COMPETITORS
THE FOLLOWING ARE THE TOP FIVE COMPETITORS OF
BHARAT PETROLEUM CORPORATTION LIMITED:
Overview Indian Oil operates the largest and the widest network of
fuel stations in the country, numbering about 17606 (15557 regular ROs &
2049 Kissan Sewa Kendra). It has also started Auto LPG Dispensing
Stations (ALDS). It reaches Indane cooking gas to over 47.5 million
households through a network of 4,990 Indian distributors. In addition,
Indian Oil's Research and Development Centre (R&D) at Faridabad
supports, develops and provides the necessary technology solutions to the
operating divisions of the corporation and its customers within the country
and abroad. Subsequently, Indian Oil Technologies Limited - a wholly
owned subsidiary, was set up in 2003, with a vision to market the
technologies developed at Indian Oil’s Research and Development Centre. It
has been modelled on the R&D marketing arms of Royal Dutch Shell and
British Petroleum.
HPCL also owns and operates the largest Lube Refinery in the country
producing Lube Base Oils of international standards. With a capacity of 335
TMT. This Lube Refinery accounts for over 40% of the India's total Lube
Base Oil production.
