Forward Looking Statements

This presentation contains forward-looking statements which may be identified by their use of words like “plans,” “expects,” “will,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “intends,” “projects,” “estimates” or other words of similar meaning. All statements that address expectations or projections about the future, including, but not limited to, statements about the strategy for growth, product development, market position, expenditures, and financial results, are forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and expectations of future events.

2012 – look aheadResource crunch

► Energy demand estimated to grow by 40%

► India – the fourth largest energy consumer

► Electricity generation requirement : 90 GW – equal to wiring up the entire United Kingdom

►Widening demand-supply gap

► Funding of US$ 225 billion; Government ?? Any takers ?It is not just energy ……. It is “affordable energy”

Energy Issues of India

Coal

► Supply – Demand gap expected to be 85 million tonnes in 2012

► Govt monopoly in coal production – short of targets► Needs US$ 10-15 billion for upgradation / new mines

► Opex is 50% higher – needs newer technologies

► Sale price much lower than international price

► 15% drop in commitment shaves off 1% in growth rate

► Major investments for infrastructure – US$ 45 - 50 billion

► Coal Sector reforms needed ??

Energy Issues of India

The demand-supply gap will likely be filled by further domestic discoveries and imported gas (either LNG or trans-national pipeline)

STRATEGY

MANAGING DEMAND-SUPPLY GAP

13

Strategy to manage the Demand-Supply Gap

► Accelerate Domestic E&P

► Build Refining capacity

► Invest in LNG sourcing and non-conventional energy sources

► Expand overseas acquisition

14

Strategy to manage the Demand-Supply Gap

► Accelerate Domestic E&P

● Reforms in Petroleum Sector

● NELP rounds

▬ 110 blocks awarded in previous 5 rounds covering approx. 1 million square kms.

▬ 55 blocks under offer in NELP-VI

▬ Excellent results 48 discoveries in previous NELP rounds Discoveries by Reliance, Cairn, GSPC etc.

15

Strategy to manage the Demand-Supply Gap

► Build Refining capacity

● Some of the new refineries are coming up in

▬ Jamnagar – 27.0 mmtpa (Reliance)

▬ Vadinar – 10.5 mmtpa (Essar)

▬ Bina – 6.0 mmtpa (BPCL)

▬ Bhatinda – 9.0 mmtpa (HPCL)

▬ Paradip – 15.0 mmtpa (IOC)

16

Strategy to manage the Demand-Supply Gap

► Invest in following:

● LNG sourcing and related infrastructure

▬ Stress on gas-based energy resource

● Cross-country pipelines

▬ Options include Iran, Turkmenistan, Myanmar

Strategy to manage the Demand-Supply Gap

► Invest in following:

● LNG sourcing and related infrastructure

▬ Stress on gas-based energy resource

● Cross-country pipelines

● Non-conventional energy sources

▬ Tar sands, heavy oils, oil shales etc.

19

Strategy to manage the Demand-Supply Gap

► Expand overseas acquisition

● Additional empowerment

▬ Acquisition of Sakhalin, Sudan, Myanmar assets

● Current scenario necessitates different strategy

“Easy Oil” over

►Rising f&d costs; last ten year average $7.44/boe as against $11.37/boe in 2005

►Reduction in discoveries in the last few years, the average size of new discoveries around the world has declined three-fold to about 22 mmboe

►Exploration outlays on decline, E&P spending directed towards existing producing wells rather than exploration thru drilling new wells

Oil & gas producing and delivery systems are stretched

Supply Side measures key to solve the energy related

issues

► Global Refining Capacity is stretched

► Little surplus capacity in major oil producing nations

► Geopolitics, accidents and weather related incidents resulting in supply disruptions

► Futures markets indicate higher prices

Reserve & Production Growth

Negligible growth in reservesIncreased difficulty in finding new reserves

Production growth exceeded growth in oil & gas reserves accretion

Summary

► Demand would continue to grow

► Supplies would be stretched

► Fierce competition

► Oil prices would remain high

● Fewer and smaller discoveries

● Low-hanging fruits gone

● Geo-political issues - skewed reserve distribution

► Meeting demand is a challenge

Issues for India in International Business

Issues impacting International Business scenario

► Branding

► Political muscle

► Technology

► Company culture

32

Issues for India in International Business

Using our strength to our advantage

► Emerging India as a part of BRIC countries

● Leverage help to enter Indian market

► Large pool of skilled human resources which can be leveraged to

● Bag projects

● collaborative research in universities; helping train human resources

● technical BPOs contributing to on the job training

Convert Threat to Opportunity

33

Issues for India in International Business

Using our strength to our advantage

► Target countries with good diplomatic relations or where other major countries refuse to engage themselves

► Collaborative effort with other companies

► strategic fit

Convert Threat to Opportunity

34

Global Opportunities for India

► Focus on exploration; not on discovered properties

► Focus on non-conventional energy sources

● Heavy oil, Tar sands, Coal-bed-methane, Gas hydrates, Bio-diesel

● Biofuels can be a part of CSR

► Use of cutting edge technologies/ processes

35

Ground Realities

► Do not spread resources too thin

► Image of the company on long term basis – speed of working/ decision making

► Understand international power play

► Corporate Social Responsibility

► Deal to be commercially driven – diplomacy only a sweetener
