  • Consumption growth of petroleum products is expected to be lower at 2 per cent, as compared with that in 1999-2000, due to an expected slow-down in the manufacturing sector. Consumption of diesel, which accounts for 41 per cent of the total consumption of petroleum products, is expected to decline by 1 per cent.
  • Supply of petroleum products is expected to increase by 24 per cent.
  • On September 30, 2000, prices of controlled products were increased. On November 21, 2000, prices of two of the controlled products (LPG and SKO) were partially rolled back.
  • Margins of refineries are expected to increase as compared with those in 1999-2000.

A: The increase in the excise duty on MS and HSD would result in an increase in the oil pool deficit, since consumer prices have not been increased. This would have a marginally negative impact on the players, since receivables from the oil pool account would increase. APM is to be dismantled by April 2002, as per the scheduled programme announced in 1997.

B: The increase in the customs duty on LPG and SKO is expected to result in an increase in the margins of the refineries. IBP, which is a stand-alone marketing company, would not benefit from the increase in the customs duty.

C: The reduction of surcharge on corporate tax, from 13 per cent to 2 per cent and the expected decline in interest rates, is expected to have a significant positive impact on oil companies (with the exception of MRPL), due to their relatively large tax outflows.
