MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

DEVELOPMENTS IN THE ECONOMY AND THE OIL SECTOR

 

Indian economy is in a recovery mode. India’s GDP growth for 2009-10 was 7.4% as compared to a growth rate of 6.7% in 2008-09. This growth level has been achieved despite low GDP growth of 0.2% in agriculture sector in 2009-10. The growth in the manufacturing sector was 11% in 2009-10, a significant improvement from 3.2% in 2008-09. The services sector grew by 8.5% in 2009-10 with financing, insurance, real estate and business services exhibiting a growth of about 10%.

 

Inflation increased sharply in the second half of the financial year. The WPI remained subdued in the first half of the financial year due to a high base of the previous year. As the base effect waned in the second half of the year, inflation as indicated by the WPI increased sharply across all categories.

 

Exports and imports started turning around in October-November 2009 after contracting sharply due to global recession. However, for the full year 2009-10, exports and imports declined by 3.6% and 5.6% respectively. Capital flows have resumed on the back of global recovery and relatively buoyant economic prospects in the country. The Rupee appreciated by about 13% against USD in 2009-10. India’s foreign exchange reserves increased by USD 27 billion during 2009-10 to reach USD 279 billion at March end 2010.

 

The consumption of petroleum products in the country increased by 3.4% in 2009-10 compared to 3.6% in 2008-09. The consumption of transportation fuels was quite robust. Petrol and diesel consumption increased by 14% and 9% respectively. Turnaround in the aviation sector was reflected in the revival of ATF sales. ATF consumption increased by 4.6% in 2009-10 compared to a decline of 2.6% in 2008-09. Naphtha consumption declined by 26% reflecting greater availability of natural gas. FO/LSHS sales also declined due to price/substitution effect.

 

The recovery in the global economy has been stronger than expected. Recovery is rather tepid in many of the advanced countries but quite strong in most developing economies. IMF expects the Indian economy to grow by 8.8% in 2010 and 8.4% in 2011. Inflation remains a major source of concern in India. Oil price recovered sharply from the severe fall precipitated by the financial crisis and has remained between USD 70 and USD 80 a barrel since mid 2009. The near-term outlook for oil price depends on balance between increase in demand as recovery gains traction and the supply response from producer nations. A robust recovery coupled with higher than expected oil demand would push prices up. On the supply side, non- OPEC production, virtually stagnant since 2004, has started rising once again. OPEC’s production of NGLs and other liquids is also rising sharply.

 

PERFORMANCE PROFILE

 

Turnover of the Company for the year 2009-10 is Rs.1085990.000 millions. The petroleum product sales (including exports) by the Company increased by 3.5% during the year 2009-10 to reach 26.3 million tonnes. The Mumbai and Visakh refineries processed 15.76 million tonnes of crude during the year. The combined GRM of the refineries was US $ 2.68 /bbl. The pipeline thruput increased to 11.95 million tonnes in 2009- 10 from 10.58 million tonnes in 2008-09.

 

The Profit after Tax increased by 126% to Rs.13010.000 millions in 2009-10 from Rs.5750.000 millions in the previous year. The higher PAT was achieved after absorbing an under-recovery of Rs.12250.000 millions on sales of sensitive petroleum products during the year. The depreciation charge was Rs.11640.000 millions vis-à-vis Rs.9810.000 millions in 2008-09 largely due to commissioning of the Euro IV fuel projects at Mumbai and Visakh refineries.

 

Interest cost in 2009-10 was reduced considerably to Rs.9040.000 millions from Rs.20830.000 millions in 2008-09 through judicious treasury management.

The refinery increased its distillate yields to 71.8% from 69.9% achieved in the previous year through effective management of the crude mix and optimization of the operational parameters to enhance the total distillate.

 

MR became the first Indian PSU refinery to commence production of BS IV specification MS in January 2010 following the commissioning of its Green Fuels Emissions Control Project (GFEC). The refinery also enhanced its capability to produce HSD to Euro-III specifications. The Refinery also commissioned Integrated Effluent Treatment Plant (IETP) to comply with the stringent statutory environment guidelines. The Refinery switched over to Re-liquified Natural Gas (RLNG) firing in furnaces and captive power plant, reducing the emissions as well as internal fuel costs. MR also started production of Viscosity grade (VG-10 and VG-30) asphalt and environment friendly Rubber Processing Oil (RPO) for export to Japan. MR successfully commissioned Mounded Bullet Storage facilities in June 2009 to facilitate safe storage of LPG and enhancing overall risk management in the refinery.

 

The Refinery signed agreement with US Trade Development Agency (USTDA) for Technical assistance grant for developing a Feasibility Report for the Refinery Bottoms Upgradation Project and to train the personnel on Asset Integrity Management.

 

A world class modern Quality control laboratory, fully equipped with state-of-the-art technology and modern analytical equipment was commissioned this year, enhancing the quality control efforts of the Refinery. MR is in the process of installing a new FCCU unit of 1.45 Million Metric Tonne per Annum (MMTPA) capacity to augment the production of value added products like LPG, MS and HSD. The project is expected to be completed mechanically during second quarter of the current year. A Lube Oil Upgradation Project is also being implemented in the Refinery to upgrade the 200 TMTPA Lube Oil Base stock (LOBS) quality to Group-II/III specifications. The Project is expected to be commissioned in the second quarter of the current year at a cost of Rs.10300.000 millions.

 

Visakh Refinery

VR commissioned a new additional Pre Fractionating Drum (PFD) in October 2009. The project has been developed in-house and has increased throughput by 200 TMTPA.

 

VR commissioned Euro-III/IV MS production facilities under Clean Fuel Project and started supplying Euro III MS by September 2009 and Euro IV MS by January 2010. On the energy conservation front, VR carried out online furnace cleaning using new technology of solid chemical spray resulting in stack temperatures sustaining crude thruput and increased heater efficiencies. The Refinery successfully commissioned Mounded bullet storage facilities in September 2009 to facilitate safe storage of LPG/ Propylene. VR also commissioned Bitumen Coastal Loading Facility and the first parcel of bitumen was exported in September 2009. The Refinery started producing VG 10 bitumen grade from February 2010.

 

The Integrated Refinery Business Improvement Program initiated with the help of M/s. Shell Global Solutions International and Centre for High Technology is under implementation in the Refinery and till date has provided benefits to the tune of US $13.89 million (20.14 cents/bbl).

 

Installation of Single Point Mooring (SPM) facilities to facilitate unloading of crude from VLCCs is underway at VR. The SPM will give an advantage in freight cost and reduce wharfage charges thereby improving the refinery economics. The project facilities include a buoy in the sea for mooring the VLCC, a 48" diameter.4.2 Km sub-sea offshore pipeline and and 48" diameter, 1.5 Km onshore Pipeline. This onshore pipeline is proposed to be connected to the crude cavern storage intended to be installed by Indian Strategic Petroleum Reserves Limited (ISPRL) from where it will be pumped to the refinery crude tanks using the existing 36" crude unloading line. Such an arrangement would obviate the need for additional crude storage tanks in the Refinery. The estimated cost of the project is Rs. 6434.600 millions. The project has been mechanically completed in May 2010 and will be commissioned by September, 2010.

OUTLOOK

 

As per the Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister the Indian economy would grow at 8.5 per cent in 2010/11 and 9.0 per cent in 2011/12. Higher growth would mean greater demand for petroleum products. Inflation, however, remains a source of concern. This would influence the policy stance on oil pricing in the country. Global economic outlook is highly uncertain given concerns about the sovereign debt risks and its implications. This would have implications for capital inflows in the country. Economic Advisory Council does not see any problem in financing the current account deficit given the expected level of capital inflows. Further, capital flows are not expected to pose any problem to the management of the exchange rate. Exchange rate variations will remain within an acceptable range.

 

Oil market outlook also remains uncertain in view of concerns about the strength of global economic recovery. There is ample spare capacity along the oil supply chain and barring unforeseen shocks, prices are expected to remain relatively stable.
