COMPETITORS
Indian Oil Corporation has two major domestic competitors, Bharat Petroleum and Hindustan Petroleum. Both are state-controlled, like Indian Oil Corporation. There are two private competitors, Reliance Industries and Essar Oil.

CONCERNS
The volatility in the crude market & subsidy burden on the IOCL has dented the company performance like other PSU oil companies. This is also reflected in its FORTUNE rating this year. Moreover, bureaucratic hurdles in projects are hurting company advancement. IOCL has one of the best technical manpower for execution of jobs.The newly announced 5 billion dollar contract with Iran raises severe implications on the UN and U.S. sanctions on nuclear proliferation.

OIL INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT BOARD


India has begun the development of a strategic crude oil reserve sized at 37.4 million barrels (5,950,000 m3), enough for two weeks of consumption. Petroleum stocks have been transferred from the Indian Oil Corporation (IndianOil) to the Oil Industry Development Board (OIDB). The OIDB then created the Indian Strategic Petroleum Reserves Ltd (ISPRL) to serve as the controlling government agency for the strategic reserve.

INDIAN OIL FARIDABAD UNIT TO PUMP IN BIO-FUEL


The Economic Times, New Delhi, March 22, 2012 R&D unit at Faridabad is gearing up to reduce pressure on the supply of conventional fuel by around 10%.The Indian Oil's R&D facility in Faridabad is going to unveil second generation biofuels in the next 3-4 years, as a result of a decade-long rigorous research work. Confirming the development, Dr RK Malhotra, director of the research facility said, "If the research and development work initiated for second and third generation bio-fuels succeeds, in next 3-4 years the pressure on supply of fossil fuels will go down by around 10 percent." "We are also trying to generate bio- fuels from agricultural waste such as straws of wheat, maize, rice, cotton and sugarcane pulps. Moreover, research is also being conducted on generating biofuels through biotechnology using enzymes," explained Dr DK Mi, general manager (alternate energy), Indian Oil. Dr Tuli added that bio-fuel produced so far have been completely categorised for various applications. Different blends of fuels can be applied in furnace oil. Preliminary study on feasibility of bio-oil as cofeed in vacuum resid oil in delayed coker unit has also been done."He said that Indian Oil's success in the second generation bio-oil research was the result of past five years of extensive work and lessons learnt from the jatropha (first generation) failure. The government has allocated Rs 56 crore for the five year research work by Indian Oil. Dr Malhotra gave credit to his entire team for turning the table in Indian Oil's favour. He said that rather than hiring full time experts, they hired experts for fixed period and paid them a little higher.Talking about his team Dr Tuli said, "We hired 10 PhD experts, five post doctors, retired professors and experts. This formula worked and we were able to attract good scholars to turn the odds in our favour." BATTLE FOR BIO-MASS Dr Tuli stressed upon the requirement of experts in the field of enzyme research. "Due to dearth of enzyme experts, we are exchanging such experts from the Institute of Chemical Technology and International Centre of Genetic Engineering of Biotechnology," he said. He said that these two centres were also doing a good job, but Indian Oil has an edge as it knows the scale of market and can commercialise its products.N Shiv kumar, spokesperson of Indian Oil's Faridabad said,

33

"Biomass pyrolysis is an attractive option for India as solid waste biomass can be easily converted into liquid products through decentralised units to avoid costlytransportation."

CCI IMPOSES PENALTY ON 50 LPG CYLINDER MAKERS


The Business Line, New Delhi, March 16, 2012 The Competition Commission of India has imposed penalty on 50 private LPG cylinder manufacturers for collusive bidding against Indian Oil Corporation tender. The Commission has imposed a penalty on the companies at the rate of seven per cent of the average turnover of the company. It also warned the contravening parties against indulging in anti-competitive practices. In a recent order, the Commission said that these private operators had quoted identical rates during the bidding process floated by Indian Oil for supply of 105 lakh domestic LPG cylinders (14.2 kg) in 2010-11.In a complaint filed by Pankaj Gas Cylinder, the Commission found that there was similarity of pattern in the bids by all the 50 bidders who submitted the price bids for various States. On the basis of analysis of the bids, we have observed that there was strong indication of

33

some sort of agreement and understanding among bidders to manipulate the process of bidding, the Commission noted. It noted that of the 63 bidders, who participated in the tendering process, 50 bidders were qualified for opening price bids, 12 bidders were qualified as new vendors and one bidder was disqualified. Indian Oil, a leading player in the LPG business with 48.2 per cent market share, is a major procurer of the 14.2 kg LPG cylinders. In addition to Indian Oil's tender, Hindustan Petroleum Corporation floated a tender for 36 lakh cylinders, and Bharat Petroleum Corporation floated tender for procurement of 40.33 lakh cylinders.

LPG STRIKE AT INDIAN OIL ENDS


The Deccan Chronicle, Kochi, March 09, 2012 With LPG tanker operators calling off their strike late Wednesday night, the IndianOil bottling plant at Udayamperoor was back in business by Thursday afternoon. But IndianOil officials here conceded that unlike the strike in mid-January, the seven-day strike this time has affected their supply considerably. "It will take another two weeks for supply to become normal," said an official from the Udayamperoor plant. "We will work on the next couple of Sundays as well to overcome the shortage." The strike was shelved following talks between IndianOil officials and representatives of tanker operators in South India, held in Chennai. According to IndianOil officials, the state-run oil major and tanker operators agreed to arrive at a solution on demands raised by the operators within a month. "We have not agreed to any demands but will hold negotiations with them (tanker operators)," a senior IndianOil official said over phone from Chennai. The Udayamperoor plant official said, "The temporary arrangement with HPCL for

33

bottling has been called off." According to the official, IndianOil usually delivers gas cylinders within 25 days of an order being placed, but for some time that time gap might go up to 35 days. He assured that supply to all adjoining districts of Ernakulam would be normalised soon. The official said IndianOil, the largest public sector oil retailer, would have to work overtime to meet the demand expected to rise in the coming Easter and Vishu festival days. The official also said he had no information about LPG distributors in the state threatening to go on strike to demand increase in margin. Meanwhile, residents heaved a sigh of relief. "I was worried since I have just one Indane connection. I am happy the strike has been called off," Ms Sunitha, a resident of Chilavannoor, said.

INDIANOIL AND DHAMARA PORT IN PACT FOR LNG TERMINAL


The Business Standard, New Delh, March 09, 2012 IndianOil has signed a pact with the Dhamara Port Corporation Ltd to develop a Liquefied Natural Gas terminal inside the port area at an investment of INR 10,000 crore. A senior DPCL official said that "A Memorandum of Understanding has been signed between DPCL and IndianOil for the development of a LNG terminal. Both the companies will soon come out with an official communique." Confirming the development, a top government official said that "IndianOil is going to develop an LNG terminal at Dhamara port. The terminal will have a total capacity of 15 million tonnes per annum." IndianOil is keen to develop the gas terminal in the eastern coast of the country as the region does not have any such terminal. The LNG terminal needs 250 to 300 acres of land and will be a part of DPCL's Phase-II expansion programme. Besides, the oil behemoth plans to use the natural gas as fuel and as feed stock for its proposed oil refinery and petrochemical complex at Paradip. The refinery is expected to be commissioned by 2013. It may be noted that IndianOil authorities were in talks with DPCL officials since the second half of last year for the gas terminal. The oil marketing company was interested to sell the imported gas to industries based in and around the petrochemicals complex region. India's gas demand is expected to reach 381 mscmd (million standard cubic metres per day) by 2015, compared with a supply of 202.9 mscmd. India has an LNG import capacity of 13.5 million tonnes per annum through two terminals, accounting for about 20% of the country's gas requirements. Apart from IndianOil, Petronet LNG was also keen on establishment of an LNG terminal in Orissa. The gas major had identified Paradip,

33

Dhamara and Gopalpur as probable locations for its proposed project involving an investment of INR 5000 crore.

INDIANOIL PETRO HUB BOOSTS PANIPAT'S POLYESTER BLANKET MARKET


The Economic Times, New Delhi, March 09, 2012 The IndianOil petrochemical complex in Panipat has become the catalyst of diversification for businesses based in the region. The petro hub, which became operational in mid-2010, has given a boost to the polar blanket industry - a polyester product - having a potential to attract around Rs 80 crore business annually in the city of textile. "There are around 8-10 units manufacturing polar blankets in Panipat and deriving business from IndianOils Naphtha Cracker plant. The plant is expected to fuel polyester business worth Rs 10,000 crore out of which the polar blanket segment can contribute around 8-10 percent revenue to the polyester market," said Pawan Garg, president of All India Association of the Shoddy Yarn. "Daily business of the shoddy yarn in Panipat is around Rs 1.5 crore and around a quarter of the business is coming from the polar blanket segment. These blankets are produced for 7-8 months in a year clocking an annual turnover of Rs 80-90 crore," said Mr Garg. Polar blankets are very soft and light best suited for babies and senior citizens. It is better than yarn spun blankets in quality and price. The production cost is also comparatively low giving stiff competition to other types of blankets. Polar blankets now cost Rs 100.

EXPORT QUALITY
Vishnu Goel, president of the North India Shody Mill Association said that polar blankets are yet to enter the export market. At present, it would cater to the domestic market only. He said that the yarn industry can compensate this competition by enhancing its business in the export market where Indian yarn products are in high demand. He said that if the Inland Container Depots (ICD), Babarpur in Panipat - chapter of the Container Corporation of India (CCI) - which provides facility to export products made in Panipat but is unable to import products directly to Panipat. Because of this, Panipat businessmen are forced to import from CCI, New Delhi. Mr Goel said there is an urgent need to enhance facilities at ICD, because in coming days the petro hub at Panipat is going

33

to add many more export-oriented industries in its fold like auto components, woven sacks and polyester. "At present, Panipat businessmen are importing around 300 containers from CCI, New Delhi, which is an added burden on the Panipat industry" said Sukhmal Jain, member of the Haryana Chamber of Commerce and Industries and vice president (VP) of the Panipat Exporters Association. "If this (import) facility is added to ICD, Panipat, it would help local businessmen in cutting cost and compete with not just polar but mink blankets (imported from China) as well," said Mr Jain. He concluded that it would also help polar blanket business to cater to the export market
