Why India?
• India is the 3rd largest oil consumer in the world & has the fastest growing oil demand among major economies. (BP Statistical Review 2016)
• 25% of India’s primary energy demand will be met by oil in 2040. (IEA World Energy Outlook 2015)
• Saudi Aramco, Rosneft, Total and BP plan to enter Indian retail fuel industry.1

Why Indian Downstream National Oil Companies?
• 6 National oil & gas companies (2 upstream, 1 midstream & 3 downstream) dominate the three segments of the Indian oil and gas industry in market sales.3
• Previous attempt at privatization of Downstream National oil company (HPCL, BPCL) has failed in India.4
• Plans to merge 13 National oil and gas companies to create a ‘Major’ National oil company.5

Local context necessary to evaluate performance of downstream national oil company
• Operational Efficiency Analysis of National oil company. (Hartley, P.R. and K.B. Medlock III(2008)) – Specialised downstream companies were not considered in the sample.
• Lack of well grounded model on measuring competition & performance of nationaloil companies due to pursuance of non commercial objectives.(Stevens (2008); Victor (2013))
• Case Studies
• The Role Of National Oil Companies In International Energy Markets. (BakerInstitute for Public Policy, 2007) - 13 Studies on NOCs (only includes ONGC from India)
• National Oil Companies & Value Creation. (World Bank, 2011) – 20 Studies on NOCs(only includes ONGC from India)
Research Question
• What is the Market Structure in different product markets of Indian Downstream oil industry?
• Which company out of the three NOCs is better able to perform in meeting commercial and non-commercial objectives?
Methods
• Textual Analysis from Annual Reports
• Market Structure – Aggregated & Product Level• Herfindahl – Hirschman Index• Concentration Ratio of National Oil Companies
• Performance Measure• Sales per unit of infrastructure for different petroleum products

NOCs have suffered maximum loss of market share in naphtha &Lubes. Naphtha decontrolled in 1998. Lubricant controlled till 1993.

HPCL underperforms in the non commercial objective of Kerosene sales per Dealership

HPCL performs better in targeting more consumers per distributor & has better LPG sales per Distributor

Performance in fulfilling commercial & non commercial objectives
• Private Downstream Companies have dominant export share, higher profit per employee, higher CSR and R & D expenditure as compared to NOCs.
• Employment growth is more in Private oil companies as compared to NOCs.
• HPCL has less revenue & profit per employee as compared to BPCL and IOCL despite having the same market share as BPCL.
Results
• NOCs maintain stable market shares among themselves during regulated period indicating low competition among themselves.
• NOCs inevitably lose market share in products which have been deregulated.
• HPCL performs poorly in the usage of infrastructure for aviation turbine fuel, automotive fuels & Kerosene and has lower revenue & profit per employee as compared to IOCL & BPCL.
Conclusion
Performance measures indicate pursuance of commercial and non commercial objectives by national oil companies and BPCL is better able to balance commercial objectives with non commercial objectives as compared to HPCL.
Expansion of downstream national oil companies separately can compromise economies of scale while merging these national oil companies without benchmarking performance and analysing efficiency can lead to negative synergies.
What is the economic rationale of having three downstream national oil companies in the Downstream industry?
