OMCs losses on fuel sales likely to halve to Rs 84,475 crore in 2013-14

07 May 2013 Evaluate

Softening oil prices on the international front is expected to cut losses of the oil marketing companies (OMCs) on diesel and cooking fuel at current rates by almost half to Rs 84,475 crore this financial year. Global oil prices have softened to about $101 per barrel from $110 because of which losses on diesel have come down from Rs 7.34 per litre at the beginning of the fiscal to Rs 3.80 currently.

Similarly, the revenue loss on domestic cooking gas (LPG) has come down to Rs 378.38 from Rs 434.50 per 14.2-kg cylinder, whereas the same on kerosene has reduced to Rs 29.33 per litre from Rs 32.02 earlier. On the sale of diesel, domestic LPG and kerosene at government controlled rates, which are way below market price, Indian Oil Corp (IOC), Hindustan Petroleum Corp (HPCL) and Bharat Petroleum Corp (BPCL) lost Rs 1,61,029 crore in 2012-13.

In 2010-11, oil firms had lost Rs 78,190 crore on fuel sale, which increased to Rs 138,541 crore in 2011-12 and to Rs 161,029 crore in the financial year ending March 31, 2013. Of the total losses in FY13, Rs 92,061 crore were on account of diesel alone, while Rs 39,558 crore was on account of LPG and the remaining Rs 29,410 crore was on kerosene sold through PDS.  

Of the losses in 2012-13, about Rs 80,000 crore was granted by way of cash subsidy and another Rs 60,000 crore has been made good by upstream firms like ONGC. However, there still remains Rs 21,000 crore uncovered under- recovery which is expected to be carried forward in 2013-13.
