Snapshot
World’s fastest-growing energy market
India is the 3rd largest energy and oil consumer in the world after China and the US. Oil and gas occupied approximately 35% share in India’s energy consumption.
India is the fourth largest importer of liquefied natural gas (LNG) after Japan, South Korea, and China, accounting for 7.4% of the total global trade.
Import of crude oil during April-November 2017 stood at 144.7 MMT valued at approximately $ 51.1 bn, marking an increase of 9.31% in quantity terms and 15.3% in value terms compared to the same period of last year. While, imports of petroleum products during April-November 2017 were 23.76 MMT valued at approximately $ 7.9 bn, which shows a decrease of 4.91% in quantity terms but an increase of 21% in value terms compared to the corresponding period of previous year.
- The demand for petroleum products is estimated to reach 244,960 MT by 2021-22
- India aims to reduce oil and gas imports dependence from 77 % to 67% by 2022
- Gas production will likely touch 90 bn cubic meters by 2040

Industry Scenario
India has emerged as a refinery hub.
India, which is the second largest refiner in Asia after China, is emerging as a refinery hub with refining capacity exceeding demand.
India's current refining capacity stands at 247.5 MMPTA, comprising of 23 refineries—18 under public sector, 3 under private sector and 2 in a joint venture. Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) is the largest domestic refiner with a capacity of 69.2 MMTPA. Top three companies – IOC, Bharat Petroleum Corporation (BPCL) and Reliance Industries (RIL) - contribute around 65.5% of India's total refining capacity.
India has witnessed a steady increase in production as well as consumption of petroleum products over the years. The production of petroleum products stood at 231.9 MMT during 2015-16, 243.6 MMT during 2016-17 and is expected to reach 254.4 during 2017-18. While, consumption of petroleum products stood at 184.7 MMT in 2015-16, 194.6 MMT in 2016-17 and is expected to be 204.9 MMT in 2017-18.
The production of crude oil stood at 36.9 MMT during 2015-16, 36 MMT during 2016-17 and is expected to be 37.4 in 2017-18.

FAQ
Frequently
Asked Questions
Can you broadly elaborate on mode of utilization and sector specific use of furnace oil /LSHS and LDO?
Major use of furnace oil (FO) /LSHS and LDO is as a fuel in Power, Fertilizer, petrochemicals and steel
sectors. Some of the fertilizer plants consume FO as feed stock also. Other industries engaged in
manufacturing of cement, paper, pharmaceuticals, Synthetic fibers etc. also consume FO/LSHS as fuels. LDO (Light Diesel Oil is broadly used for low RPM engines primarily employed in industry, transport and power sectors.What is Motor Spirit (MS)?
Motor spirit means any hydrocarbon oil in the range of C4-C12 (excluding crude mineral oil) obtained
broadly by fractional distillation of crude oil which meets the requirements of Bureau of Indian Standards specification (BIS) No. IS-2796 and is suitable for use as fuel in spark ignition engines. It is basically a light distillate with boiling point range at 30-210 Degree Celsius and density range of 720-775 Kg/m3 at 15 Degree Celsius.However for further details, please refer BIS specifications, link.
What do Refinery Gate Price/Refinery Transfer Price (RGP/ RTP) signify?
This is the price paid by the Oil Marketing Companies to domestic refineries for purchase of finished petroleum products at refinery gate.
Whether TIN number under VAT would be abolished? What will be the rate of GST on 5 KG FT cylinder?
1) TIN number under VAT to the extent of 5 specified petroleum products will be continued.
2) GST Rate on on domestic supply of LPG will be 5% and for purposes other than domestic it will be 18%.What is the Ethanol Blended Petrol?
Ministry of Petroleum & Natural gas in the year 2006 directed the Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) to sell 5% Bio Ethanol Blended petrol as per BIS specification in the entire country except the North Eastern states, Jammu & Kashmir, Andaman Nicobar islands and Lakshadweep, with effect from 1 November 2006. Currently this programme is being carried out in 21 States and 4 UTs with immediate target to achieve 10% ethanol blending in Petrol. This blended petrol is known as ethanol blended petrol.
