MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

 

The world oil demand experienced a spurt in 2010 by about 2.3 mbd (million barrels of oil per day) equivalent to

114 MMTPA, over the previous year and this was the second largest increase in the last thirty years. The demand for oil is likely to increase further by 1.4 mbd (equivalent to 89 MMTPA) in 2011 which is likely to put pressure on the crude oil prices, though the increased demand will be met mostly by OPEC countries. As per the International Energy Agency (IEA), the global energy consumption is projected to increase by 18% from 2008 to 2020 rising from 12300 MTOE to 14500 MTOE. The growth in demand slows progressively, from an average of 1.4% per year in the period 2008-2020 to 0.96% per year in 2020-2035. The energy mix which will meet this increased demand will be mainly from oil (30%), coal (27%) followed by gas (22%) and other renewables (2%).

 

The year saw a sudden surge in crude oil prices in the last quarter with the price of Brent crude crossing $120 /bbl

in March 2011, due to unrest in North Africa and Middle East although the major oil producing countries were not

affected by it. The product cracks which showed an upward trend in the first few months of 2011 due to the expected increase in demand by Japan for its reconstruction activities following the recent natural calamity, narrowed down in the last month. We expect improvements in the cracks which may further spurt with expected upswing in the global economy.

 

India will continue to develop into a major refining hub in the Asian region, fourth largest refining center in the world with the total refining capacity expected to touch 232 MMTPA by 2012-13.

 

The consumption of Petroleum, Oil and Lubricant (POL) products in India for the year ended 31.03.2011 touched

141.75 Million tons, registering an increase of 2.9% over the previous year. The sale of Motor Spirit (MS), registered a growth of 10.9% over the previous year. The growth in the Southern Region was particularly higher at 11.5%. The sale of HSD, LPG and ATF too registered robust growth of 6.6%, 8.9% and 9.4% respectively over the last year. The demand for FO/LSHS on the other hand continues to decline. The demand for Naphtha too continues to decline due to substitution by Gas.

 

The successful implementation of the quality upgradation projects initiated by Indian Refineries paved the way for introduction of environment friendly upgraded transportation fuels viz., Euro IV MS and HSD in 13 Metros and BS III MS and HSD in the rest of the country. It is indeed praiseworthy that the Company's Refineries at Manali and Cauvery Basin also came up with the production of the upgraded quality of fuel, well ahead of the schedule.

 

The demand for Natural Gas in India is increasing from the current level of 170 MMSCMD (2010-11) to 254 MMSCMD by 2014-15 as per projections made by the Research group of CRISIL. While significant emphasis has been laid on exploration and production enhancement within the country, the bulk of the gas demand will need to be met through LNG imports. In view of the increasing demand for natural gas, a number of LNG terminals are being proposed by industry players, some of which may come at Mangalore, Ennore, Mundra and Paradeep. Besides, certain FSRU’s (Floating Storage and Regasification Units) are also being conceptualized at port locations like Dighi, Mumbai, Paradeep, Vizag, Mangalore, Cuddalore, etc. The Ennore LNG terminal being promoted by IOC is expected to meet the natural gas requirement of the Company and other industries in the Manali area.

 

OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS

 

The rising energy demand and increasing societal aspirations especially in the emerging economies and the need for sustainable development require the oil and gas industry to ensure the security of energy supplies at affordable cost. The major challenges for the Oil and Gas industry, apart from increasing oil and gas reserves, is to use clean and efficient refining processes to produce transportation fuels, meeting the stringent specifications and increase the value added products such as petrochemical feedstocks. The reduction in demand of heavier bottom oils means that the bottom of the barrel should be converted to higher products, thus optimizing the value chain. Diversification of energy sources for the production of transportation fuels and hydrogen in the longer term, reducing vehicle emissions, increasing vehicle efficiencies and reducing CO2 emissions are other pressing priorities.

 

FINANCIALS

 

The Company has achieved a turnover of Rs.38,1280.000 Millions during the year, as compared to Rs.29,1840.000 Millions in the previous year. The profit after tax stood at Rs.5115.200 Millions as compared to Rs.6032.200 Millions in the previous year. The value addition during the year is Rs. 17486.500 Millions as compared to Rs. 15404.900 Millions in the previous year. The Reserves and Surplus also registered an increase from Rs.33130.800 Millions as on 31.03.2010 to Rs.36169.200 Millions as on March 31, 2011.

 

The book value per share of the Company has increased from Rs. 2324.900 Millions in the year 2009-2010 to Rs. 2529.000 Millions in the year 2010-2011.
