Where are the risks?

Receives INR

Where is Price Risk …..

Cost of Oil Imported - Day 1

• Cost of Oil per barrel in INR $60 x 44.20 = Rs. 2652

• Other Costs (refining etc) say Rs 100.00

• Total Cost Rs 2752

Replacement Cost – Day 30• Cost of Oil per Barrel ????• Exchange Rate of

USD/INR ???? Crores• Other costs assume fixed at

Rs 100• Total Cost ?????

The Price Risk is mitigated if the retail prices were totally linked with the Procurement Price – But reality is different…

The uncertainty over the ultimate costs leads to inefficient pricing especially in a competitive environment…..

Cost of procurement is impacted byPrice of OilPrice of USD

If on Day 30 the price of Oil remains at $60 and the price of USD is 44.50 and given that the retail price of Oil is not changed, OMC would lose

How do we decide the the efficient pricing of oil for the consumer on Day 1?

However, if the price of USD were to come down, OMC would gain
