About the Company:

 

With about 77% of India’s oil needs being met out of imports it was but natural fro the pricing of domestically produced natural gas to be brought in line with market prices that are comparable to international crude linked prices or pricing of alternative fuels against mostly being various derivatives of crude distillates. The commerce of striving to gain a foothold in fine balances of a composite price supply between domestic and international gas has initiated a host of supply chain mode3ls like term gas, spot gas and LNG term cargo deals with outsourced regasification capacities. Hence the gas market is increasing throwing up more and more opportunities for gas sourcing and trading models in India to suit the specific needs of each industry segment.

 

There is a definite move by the government to bring in a uniform GST (Goods and Services Tax) with dual powers of both the State and the Centre to tax goods and services. The GST is expected to be a consumption tax with full tax credit of value additions made during the process irrespective of the state of levy of the taxes i.e . regional state or central. This is expected to provide a level playing field to both traders and primary gas producers offering their gas in the market basis their respective supply chain efficiencies.

 

Subject continues to be statutorily and administratively maintained in a state of readiness to seize any marketing opportunities from this emerging gas market. Due to a premature gas market constrained by inadequate pipeline connectivity, gas supplier and taxation deterrents i.e. service tax, the environment did not offer a competitive playing field for marketing gas as on Independent business model. However, there are ample evidences of pipeline builds up taking place on the basis of recent government tax incentives and progress towards taxation reforms that would allow for fungibility of services taxes with product taxes e.g. GST, removing the deterrents to gas marketing activities. Therefore, considering the healthy current assets position and reasonable administrative costs to run and maintain the company from year to year, the company remains strong and committed to defend the company’s interests with any external stakeholder from a long term perspective. The audit committee including shareholder representatives have assessed the state of affairs and are committed to support the company in its commercial relationship with external stakeholders.
