IOC boosted LPG output by 30% amid Iran war, refineries ran over capacity

State-owned Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) ramped up liquefied petroleum gas production by nearly 30 per cent and kept its refineries operating above 100 per cent utilisation as disruptions to maritime trade through the Strait of Hormuz threatened India's energy supplies, its chairman said on Monday. The company also diversified crude sourcing, realigned refinery operations and secured alternative supplies as the escalation of conflict in West Asia disrupted global energy markets, IOC chairman Arvinder Singh Sahney said in his address to the company's 67th annual general meeting. "For IndianOil, the priority during this unprecedented crisis has remained crystal clear - to maintain continuity of energy supplies despite constrained sourcing options and volatile international markets," he said. India imports more than 88 per cent of its crude oil requirement, while about 45 per cent of its crude imports and nearly 90 per cent of LPG imports are linked to the Strait of Hormuz, underscorin

S&P flags pressure on Indian Oil as high crude prices squeeze margins

S&P Global Ratings on Friday said state-owned Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) faces rising pressure to balance fuel affordability with profitability as prolonged tensions in West Asia increase crude oil prices and squeeze marketing margins. The ratings agency said disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz and elevated crude prices could widen the gap between domestic retail fuel prices and raw material costs, potentially hurting the company's earnings, cash flow and liquidity position over the next 12 months. India, the world's third-largest oil importer, relies heavily on imported crude to meet domestic fuel demand, with diesel accounting for nearly 39 per cent of total petroleum consumption. "IOC faces a conundrum. Its earnings and cash flow over the next 12 months are turning increasingly uncertain as the Middle East conflict becomes protracted. IOC has to balance its role of meeting the country's energy needs while absorbing losses due to high crude oil prices," it said. "Given the ...
