January 24, 2025: India’s Financial Year starts on April 1. What has been the trend in consumption of petroleum products so far during the current FY? Click column Special Database for an analysis.
January 23, 2025: The popular perception in the political and industry circles is that India has the highest retail selling prices of petroleum products among Asian countries. Geographically, India falls in South Asia. A look at the retail selling prices of petroleum products in neighbouring countries reveals that quite a few petroleum products enjoy a higher retail selling prices in some of the neighbouring countries. Click column Special Database for details.
January 9, 2025 | What Am I Missing?: India’s stated aspiration is to create a policy-market environment that ensures that natural gas (along with LNG) contributes 15% of the country’s primary energy consumption. This target has been on the table for well over two decades and is currently set to be achieved by 2030 instead of 2020 as originally envisaged. In 2013, PNGRB estimated the 2030 gas demand as 272 BCM which is over 4 times the actual 2023-24 consumption. The petroleum minister recently set a target of 183 BCM for 2030 which is 2.8 times the 2023-24 actual and will yield about a 12% gas share by 2030. The demand estimates, are divorced from reality because they are made without reference to the price of gas. What is most worrisome is not the fact that none of the foregoing targets for gas are attainable but the much starker truth that there is no clear plan or strategy to get to the 15% gas share in the energy mix even by 2040.

When the hardcopy version with its masthead, Indian Oil & Gas, came out 28 years ago, India’s petroleum industry was almost totally controlled by the government. India was not rated high either as a producer or consumer of crude and petroleum products. Today, India is the world’s third largest importer of crude and second largest importer of LPG and Asia’s largest exporter of petroleum products. Without violating the government norms regarding dissemination of information, www.indianoilandgas.com has been consistently helping the industry with authentic articles and data on all areas of oil and gas industry.
