INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

India’s current account deficit narrowed in the quarter ended September as government measures to curb imports, especially gold, kicked in.  The current account deficit, the excess of a country’s imports of goods and services over exports, narrowed to $ 5.2 billion from $ 21 billion in the year ago period, according to provisional Reserve Bank of India data. Finance Minister P. Chidambaram said the CAD for the year will be less than $ 60 billion or 3 per cent of GDP and the latest data suggests the government may achieve the target.

 

India was ranked 94th among the world’s most corrupt nations list. Denmark and New Zealand topped as the cleanest while Somalia emerged as the most corrupt.

 

India’s services sector activity witnessed a moderate improvement in November over the previous month, even while indicating the fifth successive monthly contraction, according the HSBC survey.

 

$53 million estimated losses suffered by India due to phishing attacks during the third quarter, according to a study by RSA. India ranks fourth in the list of nations hit by phishing attacks. The US remained at the top of the charts. Phishing is the process of acquiring information such as user names, passwords and credit card details by sending e-mails disguised as official mails.

 

Rs.4080 million worth of mobile-phone-based transactions by July 2013 compared to Rs.260 million in September, 2012, according to Deloitte report. The number of transactions has shot up from 94000 to 701000.

 

India aims to earn Rs.400000 million from the bandwidth auction set for January. The merger and acquisition guidelines, cleared by a group of ministers, will be out before the auction begins so that players can make informed decisions on the auctions.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT: 2012-13

 

DEVELOPMENTS IN THE ECONOMY AND THE OIL SECTOR

 

The slowdown in the Indian economy persisted in 2012-13. The GDP growth in 2012-13 was 5% compared to 6.2% in 2011- 12. Growth in agriculture was affected by less than normal rainfall in the early phase of the monsoon. The agriculture sector is estimated to grow at 1.9% in 2012-13 as against 3.6% in 2011-12. Industry registered a growth rate of only 2.1% in 2012-13.

Manufacturing growth is estimated to be even lower at 1.0%.The services sector has been the mainstay of growth in the last decade, contributing to about 65% of the growth. The growth rate in the services sector declined to 7.1%in 2012-13 from 8.2% in 2011-12. Monetary tightening to contain inflation, slowdown in investment, and a weak global economy has contributed to moderation in growth.

 

International oil prices averaged above USD 100 per barrel during 2012-13. Higher oil prices coupled with only a partial pass through to consumer prices resulted in higher than budgeted subsidy outgo. The deterioration in the fiscal balances pushed the government to take fiscal consolidation measures. One of the measures undertaken was to increase diesel price by Rs. 5 per liter in September 2012. In January 2013, OMCs were authorized to increase diesel prices in small increments at regular intervals till prices reach international parity. Also, bulk diesel sales directly to consumers are to be made at non-subsidized market determined price. Number of subsidized LPG cylinders has been capped at nine. Rising fuel prices did add to fuel inflation. However, wholesale price index moderated in the second half of the 2012-13 on account of declining non-food manufacturing inflation.

 

Global economy continues to grow at a sluggish pace. As per IMF, world output growth in 2012 was 3.2% with advanced economies growing at mere 1.2% while growth rate for emerging economies was 5.1%. This weakness was reflected in declining exports by India. Non-oil and non-gold imports also declined due to weak domestic demand. However, higher oil imports offset the decline in non-oil imports. The net invisibles balance (exports of services and remittances) failed to cover the trade deficit completely. India’s current account deficit was 4.8% of GDP in the third quarter of 2012-13. However, net capital flows were able to finance the current account and there was even a marginal accretion to foreign exchange reserves in the third quarter. The rupee per US dollar fluctuated significantly, depreciating from Rs. 51 per dollar at the end March 2012 to touch a low of Rs. 57 per dollar in June 2012, appreciating between July 2012 and September 2012 to reach Rs. 51.62 per dollar in October 2012 and depreciating again to fluctuate betweenr 53-55 per dollar during October 2012 to March 2013.

 

Consumption of petroleum products increased to about 155 million tons in 2012-13 from 148 million tons in 2011-12, an increase of about 5%. Diesel, the largest component of demand barrel, was the main driver of the growth with an increase of 7% over previous year. Diesel accounted for 60% of the incremental demand in 2012-13. Petcoke consumption increased by 49%, accounting for 40% of the incremental demand in 2012-13. Naphtha and Petrol consumption increased by 9% and 5% respectively. Bitumen and LPG consumption increased marginally at 0.7% and 1.6% respectively. Consumption of ATF, FO/ LSHS, LDO and SKO declined.

 

In the near term, recovery in advanced economies is likely to be slow and a number of uncertainties remain, though global economic prospects have improved. Thus, main impetus for growth in India has to be domestic demand. The Government of India has taken a number of steps to stem the slowdown such as setting up of Cabinet Committee on Investment (CCI) to fast track mega investment projects, a scheme for restructuring debts of the state discoms, and permitting FDI in a number of areas. Oil prices are expected to soften in near term as supply growth is expected to slightly exceed growth in demand. This would reduce pressure on India’s current account deficit and also reduce the subsidy/under-recovery burden on the government and

OMCs.

 

 

OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

 

IEA estimates global oil demand to have increased from 88.9 mbpd in 2011 to 89.8 mbpd in 2012. The growth was mainly from Asia Pacific with demand in Europe declining. Poor macroeconomic outlook, high oil prices and improvements in energy efficiency have limited demand.

 

Crude oil prices averaged above the key 100 $/bbl, required by Saudi Arabia to finance their public spending. However, this provided incentives for marginal cost producers to maximize their production of alternate crude supplies like Canadian Tar Sands.

 

Year 2012-13 also witnessed the highest ever production of tight oil (shale) in the US which reduced its dependency on West African crude. This contributed in pressurizing Brent and diverting oil flows to Asia.

 

On the supply side there were disruptions in oil production in South Sudan, Yemen, Syria, and the North Sea. The uncertain political situation in Libya and Syria, attacks on Oil facilities in Nigeria and the Iran sanctions increased the downside risk on supply. Iran being one of the major term contract suppliers, the sanctions on Iran and its after effects impacted the security of crude supply to HPCL. This was effectively managed by increased term upliftment from other suppliers and spot purchases.

 

As per IEA, gasoline, rather than middle distillates, led global demand growth last year. Middle distillate demand was affected by lower industrial activity worldwide whereas strong requirement by Saudi Arabia and China for gasoline supported demand. Keeping in mind the increased gasoline demand the strategy of maximization of naphtha conversion to gasoline was continued. World LPG and residual fuels demand in 2012-13 contracted while Jet/Kerosene demand remained at the same level as last year. Indian LPG demand grew at a slower pace due to changes in government policy, however domestic production continued to fall short of demand. Indian refineries were required to maximize LPG production to reduce import dependence and minimize shortfall. The residual fuel demand continued to fall year on year in India and refineries adapted by increasing Bitumen production.

 

Benchmark crudes Brent and Dubai, were trading at their highest level during the year in April’12. From the high of 119.52 $/bbl witnessed in April’12, Brent declined month on month to 94.84 $/bbl by June affecting refining margins and inventories. Crude oil prices fell during Q1 in part, due to concerns about falling oil demand with a sluggish global economy. The deepening euro zone crisis, slowdown in Chinese growth and rising global oil supplies due to increasing U.S. shale oil production added to the list of concerns. The volatility in prices has affected refinery margins in spite of inventory management across the value chain.

 

Product cracks mirrored crude with Naphtha differentials falling by 10.86 $/bbl during April to June on weak petrochemical demand and lower cracker runs. Gasoline was also not supported and fell by 7.34 $/bbl from April to June reflecting weak demand from Indonesia and Vietnam. Middle distillate cracks in Asia were relatively stable helped by strong demand from Australia, India and Sri Lanka. Fuel Oil cracks was the only bright spot at a strong (2.45) $/bbl level helped in part by refining maintenance in Europe and Russia limiting supplies.

 

The Reuters Singapore margin for a cracking refinery was pressured by the weakness in light distillates to settle at 6.67 $/ bbl. However, only a few Indian refineries were able to post this margin due to the month on month fall in crude and product prices devaluing both finished goods and Intermediate Stock Differential (ISD). This was compounded by reduced margins in processing higher priced crude of previous month for sale at lower prices in the next month. Planned turnarounds during the quarter also impacted margins.

 

Brent strengthened significantly in Q2 supported by shutdowns in Norwegian fields, shrinking European refining capacity and steep product draws. Considering the improved operating environment and ensuing monsoon season, HPCL increased its procurement / processing of low sulphur and light crudes. This enabled HPCL to reduce fuel oil exports on back of lower bitumen demand during this period.

 

Q2 saw firmer petrochemicals margins and tight feedstock supply pulling up naphtha cracks while alternative feedstock LPG surprised, falling below crude in July and August. European gasoline cracks were capped due to weak demand in the US. However, Singapore gasoline market was supported by healthy demand during Ramzan and tight supplies due to refinery turnarounds. Gasoil crack spreads strengthened in Q2 led by strong demand in Europe due to refinery closures, import demand from Australia and outages in Asia. Fuel oil however weakened marginally due to subdued demand for bunkers and from Chinese tea pot refineries.

 

Reuters Singapore refining margins strengthened to a high of 9.12 $/bbl in Q2 due in part to the strong middle distillate cracks. On the back of improved cracks and inventory gains HPCL also experienced stronger margins. HPCL refineries undertook various margin improvement initiatives like upgrading naphtha to gasoline with PyGas thereby reducing naphtha export. Increased focus on sale of surplus naphtha to end users by way of term contracts assisted in improving margins.

 

Crude prices stabilized at 110.02 $/bbl in Q3 as persistent concerns about the economy and the looming US fiscal cliff kept a cap on prices. The downside was limited by geopolitical concerns and reduced exports from Iran.

 

Naphtha cracks continued to improve in Q3 due to support from petrochemical demand. Gasoline however weakened on the back of improved supplies and end of driving season in US. Gasoil cracks in Asia were also supported by an unusually cold winter. This was offset by fuel Oil crack spreads plunging to its lowest level for the year on higher inventories, reduced demand and increased supply from Middle East.

 

Q3 Singapore refining margins reflected the frail heavy ends market and settled at 6.47 $/bbl. However, month on month fall in crude prices for the HPCL’s basket again impacted inventories and realizations. The fall in crude prices was overshadowed by weakening product cracks resulting in lower margins for refineries. Traditionally lube refiners have benefited from higher margins than standalone fuel refiners. However, the weak world economy resulted in poor demand for lubricants and lower LOBS margins, thereby impacting Mumbai refinery’s margins.

 

Q4 saw crude oil futures prices scaling nine month highs in early February at 116.28 $/bbl. Expectations of a better economic outlook for China and the US, robust financial market activity and seasonal winter demand were drivers for the strong crude prices. 2012-13 concluded with steeply lower prices on back of weak global demand outlook and high crude oil inventories.

 

Naphtha, Gasoline and Middle Distillate cracks posted their best run during the year in Q4 on the back of heavy refinery maintenance and strong demand. However, cracks fell across all regions in March with Kerosene (SKO) affected the most, as seasonal winter demand for heating faded in the Northern Hemisphere. Fuel oil cracks firmed up mainly due to reduced fuel oil imports from Middle East, lower inventory and rise in Chinese import demand.

 

Supported by strong light and middle distillates, Singapore refining margins settled at 8.7 $/bbl. The month on month volatility in prices with crude falling 8 $/bbl in March’13 continued to pose a challenge to refineries overshadowing operating performance. Weak lube base oil prices on account of declining demand in OECD countries and reduced growth in Asia capped HPCL Mumbai refinery’s margins. However, HPCL refineries posted improved margins compared to previous quarters on account of improved yield and 100 % service factor of all units. Efforts were made to minimize bottoms by optimizing crude selection and maximizing higher margin bottoms like bitumen.

 

Crude has been averaging above 110 $/bbl for the past three years, as compared to the 75 $/bbl levels seen in the earlier period. This has resulted in higher fuel costs for refineries solely on account of higher feed costs. Product crack spreads not keeping pace with crude has resulted in a scenario of reduced margins for refineries.

 

 

PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE

 

HPCL imported 12.02 MMT of crude oil in 2012-13 as compared to 12.54 MMT in 2011-12. Lower imports were mainly due to planned shutdown of crude distillation units in the year 2012-13. The Free on Board (FOB) cost of imported crude oil amounted to USD 9726 million (Rs. 531650.000 Millions) in 2012-13 as compared to USD 10409 million (Rs. 509410.000 Millions) in 2011-12.The average cost of crude oil imported in 2012-13 stood at USD 109.48 per barrel as compared to USD 112.85 per barrel in 2011-12.

 

The Brent Dubai spread in 2012-13 of 3 $/bbl favoured increase in sweet crude processing. HPCL refineries responded by increasing low sulphur crude processing to 34.5% for the year 2012-13 as against 31.7% in 2011-12, when Brent Dubai spread was 4.55 $/bbl. This has resulted in higher spot purchases of imported crude of 7% in 2012-13 vis a vis 3% in 2011-12.

 

HPCL uplifted 3.39 MMT of indigenous low sulphur crude oil (Mumbai High, Ravva and KGB). HPCL was allocated the entire production of Ravva Crude Oil of FY 12-13. The price of Ravva is linked to regional markers like Tapis and Minas crude which is disconnected from comparable markers on account of declining production. This has resulted in indigenous crude price being higher than imported crude and has impacted HPCL’s margin adversely. This has been taken up with the government for resolution.

 

The balance crude requirement of 12.02 MMT was mainly met through term imports and spot purchases. Total high sulphur crude oil procurement of 10.02 MMT was procured through term contracts from the Gulf region. Main suppliers included Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Iraq, Iran and Kuwait. Total low sulphur crude oil procurement amounted to 2.00 MMT, which was sourced through term and spot purchases. Low sulphur crude from Mediterranean – Saharan Blend was processed for the first time in the Visakh refinery.

 

HPCL expanded it crude basket by adding 4 new crudes to its basket of 104 crudes, taking the number of crude oils that can be processed in our refineries to 108. New term contracts with MNCs/NOCs were also entered into, in order to source additional low sulphur crude. Term contract with SOCAR (National Oil Company (NOC) of Algeria for Azeri Light Crude oil) and Petronas (NOC of Malaysia, for purchase of selected Nigerian grades at a discount to declared Official Selling Price) were entered during the year.

 

HPCL’s refineries maximized crude processing in 2012-13, achieving a combined refining throughput of 15.78 MMT with a capacity utilization of 107%.

 

Mumbai Refinery has achieved crude throughput of 7.75 MMT as against installed capacity of 6.50 MMT with a capacity utilization of 119%. This was the highest ever crude throughput recorded surpassing the previous best of 7.51 MMT during 2011-12. Visakh Refinery achieved crude throughput of 8.03 MMT as against installed capacity of 8.30 MMT with a capacity utilization of 96% due to planned shutdown of larger capacity CDU unit.

 

In respect of distillates Mumbai refinery achieved 73.5% vs. target of 73.0%, and Visakh refinery has attained 72.6 % vs. target of 73.0%. The specific energy consumption (MBN) was also at MOU Excellent level for both the refineries with 82.6 vs. target of 86.0 for Mumbai Refinery, while Visakh refinery recorded its lowest ever specific energy consumption (MBN figures) during the year 2012-13 with 84.0 MBTU/Bbl/NRGFvs. target of 86.0. The energy conservation measures have made possible to restrict fuel and loss for Mumbai and Visakh refineries to 7.5% and 7.6% which is better than the target of 8.0% and 8.1% respectively. This high level of energy efficiency was made possible by consistent efforts of both the refineries by controlling and optimizing the fuel consumption at micro level for each and every process/equipment consuming energy.

 

The energy conservation measures undertaken by both refineries during the year 2012-13 have resulted in a savings of 42,157 SRFT/year (standard refinery fuel tonnage per year). This translates to savings of Rs. 1650.000 Millions approximately

 

Mumbai and Visakh refineries also achieved highest ever annual production of LPG (817.6 TMT against previous best of 809.4 TMT), MS (2619 TMT against previous best of 2540 TMT) and bitumen (1042.5 TMT against the previous record of 946 TMT).

 

The Bureau of Indian Standards revised the bitumen quality norms from the hitherto ‘Penetration Grades’ to ‘Viscosity Grades’. Both Mumbai and Visakh refineries are producing this more stringent quality bitumen products viz. VG-10 and VG-30. The total bitumen production of HPCL refineries was 1043 TMT during the year surpassing the previous best of 946 TMT in the previous

year.

 

Lubes refinery achieved an annual production of 361.9 TMT of base oils comprising of 319.6 TMT of Gr I base oils and 42.3 TMT of Gr II base oils. Going forward higher conversion of value added lubes to Gr II will yield better margins to lubes refinery.

 

The State of the Art Integrated Effluent Treatment Plant (IETP) at Mumbai refinery has reduced intake of fresh water from the municipal corporation by purifying and recycling 610 TKL treated water for refinery consumption thus contributing significantly to Natural Resource conservation. Also, in Visakh Refinery 714 TKL of water was purified through desalination RO Plant.

A novel scheme of sale of 5 kg LPG cylinders at market price with minimal documentation through Company Owned Retail Outlets (Petrol Stations) was earlier launched on 5th October'13 by the Hon'ble Minister of Petroleum Dr. M.

The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas today launched the sale of 5 Kg cylinders through COCO ROs in Hyderabad. A novel scheme of sale of 5 kg LPG cylinders at market price with minimal documentation through Company Owned Retail Outlets (Petrol Stations) was earlier launched on 5th October'13 by the Hon'ble Minister of Petroleum Dr. M. Veerappa Moily in the cities of Bangalore, Chennai, Kolkatta and Mumbai.

 

5 Kg Sale through COCO ROs

 

Presently, OMCs are marketing LPG filled cylinders to various customers through LPG distributor network all over India from their own LPG bottling Plants supplied to the Distributors godown. All such customers are being enrolled by collecting Proof of Identity (POI), Proof of Address (POA) and a deposit for the cylinder and regulator and in turn issuing a Subscription Voucher thereby loaning the equipment to the customer in lieu of the deposit received. Such customers are registered into OMC database as customers and subsequent refills are issued to only such customers who place their booking against the above customer number. The cylinder is home delivered by our LPG distributor in case of our regular distributors and in case of RGGLV it is on Cash and Carry basis.

 

The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas today launched the sale of 5 Kg cylinders through COCO ROs in Hyderabad.

 

There is an emerging segment of new consumers like IT professionals, BPO employees who want LPG but in absence of proper proof of address (POA) cannot access the same. Further, because of their highly irregular work timings, they may not be able to visit the distributor or be at home to receive cylinders during normal working hours. For some consumers, the need is in small parcels or arises at odd times of the day when distributors may be closed.

 

This initiative allows sale of 5 kg LPG cylinders at market price with merely any Proof of Identity (POI) through Company Owned Retail Outlets (Petrol Stations) to attend to demand of such consumers. The Sale of 5 kg cylinders will be done (Equipment + Product) at Non Domestic rates with /without regulator for the first time by charging Rs. 1655 (inclusive of applicable taxes) for the cylinder and Rs. 262.50 (inclusive of applicable taxes) for regulator. Subsequently, customers can purchase refill (cost of LPG only) at Rs 510 (inclusive of applicable taxes) as per current non domestic rates applicable in the market.

 

This scheme is expected to be a boon to migratory population such as students, IT professionals, BPO employees and persons with odd duty timings as it would provide them the flexibility to pick up cylinders and obtain subsequent refills at time of their choice as Petrol Stations are open for longer hours. This scheme is running successfully for two month in the cities of Kolkata, Chennai, Mumbai and Bangalore on a pilot basis. Upon completion of the pilot, the facility would be extended to other towns and cities also.

 

Outlets covered in the city of Hyderabad would be HPCL COCO Outlet at NSIC Khusaiguda, IOCL COCO outlet at SP Road, Begampet and BPCL outlets at Lalitha Fuel Point, Raidurg (Entrance to IT HUB) and Cyberabad Filling Station, Hitech city. Once we begin with these four outlets, a few more are expected to be added soon.
