Hindustan Petroleum Corporation (HPCL) will import 12.5 million tonnes of crude oil in 2011-12 which will include one million tonnes from the spot market and 11.5 million tonnes will be through term deals.
Of the company's total FY12 imports about 3.5 milion tonnes will come via a term deal with Iran and indigenous supplies will be 4 million tones. In the southern state of Andhra Pradesh the refinery runs a 130,000 barrels-per-day (bpd) refinery in Mumbai and a 166,000 bpd plant at Vizag.
Recently, HPCL had received board approval for acquisition of balance 50% shares held by other JV partners in Prize Petroleum Company. HPCL had decided to make Prize Petroleum Corporation (PPCL) it’s 100% subsidiary and would buy stakes of its partners ICICI and HDFC Bank and merge with itself. HPCL and the financial institutions had contributed 10 crore each as equity, it will be a simple takeover and there will be no other cash transaction.
The decision was primarily an outcome of both HPCL's and PPCL's inability to find a suitable joint venture partner which would pick up ICICI, ICICI Venture and HDFC's stake in the company and also have a proven track-record in the global E&P arena.
