Vedanta wins arbitration against govt in $1.1 bn cost disallowance case

Mining magnate Anil Agarwal's Vedanta Ltd has won an arbitration against a demand for a higher payout from its prolific Rajasthan oil and gas fields after disallowance of Rs 9,545 crore (USD 1.16 billion) in certain costs incurred, the company said. The government has sought additional profit petroleum (or its share from the oil and gas fields) after it reallocated certain costs between the fields in the block and disallowed a portion of the cost incurred on laying a pipeline to evacuate oil produced from the Rajasthan block. As per the contract, companies are allowed to recover all costs incurred before splitting profit in a predetermined ratio with the government. If a certain portion of cost is disallowed, it would result in higher profits and a resultant higher share to the government. Vedanta had challenged such a demand before an arbitration tribunal. "The company has received an arbitration award dated August 23, 2023... upholding the contention of the company that additional

Vedanta seeks a minimum of $9.5 per mmBtu for gas from its Rajasthan block

Billionaire Anil Agarwal's Vedanta Ltd is seeking a minimum of USD 9.5 for the natural gas it produces from its Rajasthan block, according to a tender floated by the firm for the sale of the fuel. Vedanta sought bids from users for 0.6 million standard cubic meters per day of gas it plans to produce from the RJ-ON-90/1 block in the Barmer basin of Rajasthan in three months beginning October 1. Gas extracted from below ground is used to produce electricity, make fertilizer, turned into CNG to fire automobiles, or piped to household kitchens for cooking purposes. In the tender, Vedanta asked users to quote a variable 'P' that they are willing to pay over and above 14.5 per cent of Brent crude oil price. At the current Brent price of USD 84 per barrel, the base comes at USD 12.18 (14.5 per cent of USD 84). Users have to quote a 'P' over and above this price. Gas price will be calculated as lower of Platts LNG WIM (the price of liquefied natural gas delivered on India's west coast) an
