MRPL confident about resolving oil payment issue with Iran

27 Jul 2011 Evaluate

State-run Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals (MRPL) is confident about resolving oil payment issue with Iran soon. The effort in resolving payment issue with Iran is under progress and the company is confident for finding an all-acceptable solution shortly. MRPL, which runs a 236,400 barrels per day (bpd) coastal refinery in southern India, buys about 150,000 bpd crude oil from Iran.

After the Reserve Bank of India halted a clearing mechanism under US pressure, India and Iran have struggled to find ways for New Delhi to pay for imports of 400,000 barrels per day since December which constitutes 12 percent of its oil demand. Top exporter Saudi Arabia has struck deals to sell 3 million barrels more oil to India in August, stepping into the vacuum created by regional rival Iran after it cut supply to New Delhi.

The company’s net profit for the quarter has zoomed by 506.29% at Rs 172.71 crore as compared to Rs 28.46 crore for the same quarter last year. Its total income has surged by 70.26% to Rs 13504.33 crore for the quarter under review from Rs 7931.58 crore for the corresponding quarter of the previous year.

MRPL is a joint venture oil refinery promoted by Hindustan Petroleum Corporation (HPCL), a public sector company and IRIL & Associates (AV Birla Group). It has a design capacity to process 9.69 million metric tonnes per annum and is the only refinery in India to have two hydrocrackers producing Premium Diesel (High Cetane).
