Indian Economy Amidst continuing difficult global economic situation, Indian economy too suffered a setback in its GDP growth and grew at only 5 percent in 2012-13 as against 6.2 percent in 2011-12. While India's slowdown is partly rooted in external conditions, a number of domestic factors were also unsupportive of growth in 2012-13. Agriculture and allied services sector grew at a meagre 1.8 percent in 2012-13 as against 3.6 percent in the previous year due to inadequate rainfall in parts of the country, especially in Maharashtra and Gujarat. The industry sector suffered a further decline in growth and grew at only 3.1 percent in 2012-13 as against 3.5 percent in the previous year. Mining sector performed poorly at 0.4 percent due to court orders to stop mining until licensing and corruption issues were sorted out. The rate of growth of the manufacturing sector, the most dominant sector within industry, was at its lowest since 1992 at 1.9 per cent in 2012-13. The moderation in industrial growth, particularly in the manufacturing sector, is largely attributed to sluggish growth of investment, squeezed margins of the corporate sector, deceleration in the rate of growth of credit flows and the fragile global economic recovery. The factory output measured in term of index of industrial production (IIP) grew by merely one per cent in 2012-13 compared to a growth of 2.9 percent in previous fiscal, the lowest in the last 20 years. Growth in services sector, which registered a double-digit growth continuously for five years and narrowly missed double digit growth in the sixth (between 2005-06 and 2010-11), also witnessed a decline to 6.6 per cent in 2012-13 from 8.2 per cent in 2011-12. However, growth in this sector remained higher than the two other major sectors of the Indian economy viz agriculture and industry. The Indian economy was plagued with persisting inflation during 2012-13. The WPI inflation headline rate up to March 2013 (provisional) stood at 7.3 per cent. Inflationary pressures from primary food - both grains (wheat, rice & coarse cereals) and perishables (vegetables, fruit, eggs, meat & fish) remained potent. Performance of merchandise exports in 2012-13 was disappointing with a negative growth of 3 per cent, while imports grew marginally. The merchandise trade deficit increased by 6.3 per cent to $195 billion. Export of engineering goods, manmade textiles and ready-made garments registered the maximum decline in 2012-13. Wheat exports, however, rose to 50.6 lakh tonnes in the ten month period April12 to Jan13, compared to 7.4 lakh tonnes in 2011-12. During 2012-13, import of gold & silver is estimated at $56 billion, 8 per cent less than the $62 billion imported in 2011-12. The two important import intensive export categories gems & jewellery and refined petroleum products also fared poorly. Indias foreign exchange reserves stood at US$ 293 billion as on 29th March 2013 compared to US $ 294 billion a year ago.

Over the five decades, the company has built offshore trading, counterexpertise in handling international trade of bulk commodities. trade, etc. STC has one wholly owned subsidiary STCL Ltd, formerly Its principal items of exports can be divided into known has Spices Trading Corporation Ltd. agricultural commodities Business STC plays an important role in encouraging exports from India and manufactured products. agricultural and arranging bulk import of essential items into India. STC In ensures supply of quality products at competitive prices and that commodities, it exports goods reach foreign buyers within the prescribed delivery wheat, cashew, coffee, rice, schedule. It also imports bulk commodities for Indian consumers tea, sugar, extractions, as per demand in the domestic market. Its business is divided into spices, castor oil & seeds

and jute goods. In manufactured products, it exports chemicals, drugs & medical disposables, engineering & construction materials, consumer products, textiles and garments, leatherware, processed foods, iron ore and steel raw materials. Its imports include edible oils, sugar, wheat, fatty acids, pulses, hydrocarbons, gold & silver, minerals, metals, petrochemicals, fertilisers, scientific instruments & hospital, police equipments, FMCG goods and IT products.

Excluding foodgrains, STCs exports were 92% higher in FY05 over FY04. In FY05, STC entered into metals export business and met with significant success. It signed an MoU with Mysore Minerals Ltd for the export of iron ore fines on 50:50 profit-sharing basis. About 120,000 MT was contracted under the MoU for export to China and an additional 110,000 MT was contracted on behalf of another party. Import turnover was 20% higher than in FY04. This was the highest ever imports the corporation has achieved. Bullion emerged as the single largest item of import during the year. A Pandalai Chairman cum Managing Director Company Ranking Income Net Profit Net Worth 27 376 251 CEO Speak The foremost challenge facing the foreign trade today is to sustain the current growth momentum in the face of stiff competition from MNCs who have set up their own procurement centres in the country. Moreover, availability of fast means of communication and flow of voluminous information through internet pose a challenge to the traditional traders. Today, everybody is keen on adopting e-tendering and e-procurement. In such a scenario, the only way a trading company can succeed is by providing ample value addition to the transactions. The country also needs to boost agricultural growth through diversification and development of agro processing so as to make its exports of agricultural goods internationally competitive vis-a-vis those of developed countries who extend huge subsidies to their agriculture in some form or the other.

Lastly, but more importantly, infrastructural inadequacies pertaining to roads, railways, airports, ports, supply chain, etc. need to be addressed on priority to facilitate smoother flow of trade. Jawahar Vyapar Bhawan, Tolstoy Marg, New Delhi - Corporate Office

441 INDIAS TOP 500 COMPANIES STC pursued imports of hydrocarbons, minerals, metals and fertilisers for the second consecutive year and emerged as a major player in these areas. Import sales of hydrocarbons, minerals and metals were three times the imports in FY04. During the year, STC imported petrochemicals, namely, HSD and MS, for the first time. STC forayed into the import of FMCG goods and IT products. It also launched retail sales of imported gold coins in denominations of 5 gm and 10 gm of 0.999 purity, imported from Pamp of Switzerland, one of the finest refiners of gold in the world. Domestic sales more than trebled during FY05 as compared to FY04 with petrochemicals, minerals/metals and pulses being the major items of domestic sales. As on Mar 2005, GoI held 91.02% stake in STC. New Initiatives and Future Plans STC plans to transform itself from being a bulk trading agency in commodities to a one-stop shop that offers specialised trade facilitation. This change will happen through backward and forward integration and industrial participation programme with top international companies. It plans to use its wide product range, stable financial position and infrastructure facilities to become a world trading company. It plans to supply ballistic protection equipment to Ordnance Factory Board for bulletproofing of VIP vehicles by using Kevlar and HPPE, a low weight alternative to the present system of vehicle armouring by using hardened steel. With a view to achieving sustainability in exports, STC entered into an arrangement with a steel plant in Philippines. Under this operation, STC arranges supply of coke and steel raw materials from India as well as third countries to the steel plant in Philippines. It has plans to gradually expand these operations to other countries as well. It also plans to export petro products. In imports, STC plans to diversify into imports of non-ferrous metals such as zinc, copper, etc. In FY05, STC was nominated by the government of Uzbekistan as a nodal agency for imports from and exports to India. It is planning to set up operations in the areas of pharmaceuticals and textiles in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan jointly with local entrepreneurs.

Navratna was the title given originally to 9 Public Sector Enterprises (PSEs) identified by the Government of India in 1997 as "public sector companies that have comparative advantages", giving them greater autonomy to compete in the global market so as to "support [them] in their drive to become global giants".[1]

PSU companies are divided into three categories:

Maharatna Navratna Miniratna CPSEs o Category I o Category II

Historical symbolism[edit source | editbeta] Originally, the term Navaratna meant a talisman or ornament composed of nine precious gems. Later, this symbology was adopted in the courts of Emperor Vikramaditya and the Mughal

emperor Akbar, where the Navaratnas were a group of nine extraordinary men in their respective courts. Maharatna status[edit source | editbeta] In 2009, the government established the Maharatna status, which raises a company's investment ceiling from Rs. 1,000 crore to Rs. 5,000 crore.[2] The Maharatna firms can now decide on investments of up to 15 per cent of their net worth in a project; the Navaratna companies could invest up to Rs 1,000 crore without explicit government approval. Current Financial Autonomy Status[edit source | editbeta] There are currently 7 Maharatnas, 14 Navratnas and 53 Miniratnas-I and 16 Miniratna-II. There are multiple factors and criterias for granting 'ratna' status. However, major criteria of awarding status are:

Maharatna o Three years with an annual net profit of over Rs. 2,500 crore o Net worth of Rs. 10,000 crore o Turnover of Rs. 25,000 crore Navratna o A score of 60 (out of 100), based on six parameters which include net profit, net worth, total manpower cost, total cost of production, cost of services, PBDIT (Profit Before Depreciation, Interest and Taxes), capital employed, etc. o A company must first be a Miniratna and have 4 independent directors on its board before it can be made a Navratna. Miniratna Category-I o Have made profits continuously for the last three years or earned a net profit of Rs. 30 crore or more in one of the three years. Miniratna Category-II o Have made profits for the last three years continuously and should have a positive net worth.

The Categorisation entitles the company boards to do investments up to a limit (depending on the status) without seeking government permission.

Maharatna: up to Rs.1,000 crore - Rs. 5,000 crore, are free to decide on investments up to 15% of their net worth in a project. Navratna: up to Rs. 1,000 crore or 15% of their net worth on a single project or 30% of their net worth in the whole year (not exceeding Rs. 1,000 crores). Miniratna-I: up to Rs. 500 crore or equal to their net worth, whichever is lower. Miniratna-II: up to Rs. 300 crore or up to 50% of their net worth, whichever is lower.

International rankings[edit source | editbeta] IndianOil is the highest ranked Indian company in the Fortune Global 500 listing, at the 83rd position in 2012. It is also the 18th largest petroleum company in the world and the No. 1 petroleum trading company among the national oil companies in the Asia-Pacific region. IOCL was featured on the 2011 Forbes Global 2000 at position 243. It is the fifth most valued brand in India according to an annual survey conducted by Brand Finance and The Economic Times in 2010.[7] Loyalty programs[edit source | editbeta] XTRAPOWER Fleet Card Program is aimed at Large Fleet Operators. Currently it has 1 million customer base. XTRAREWARDS is a recently launched loyalty program for retail customers where customers can earn reward points on their purchases.[citation needed] Concerns[edit source | editbeta] Indian Oil Corporation Limited, by virtue of being the largest Public sector Oil company has borne the largest share of subsidy burden due to Govt restriction on Pricing of common fuels like Diesel Oil, Kerosene and LPG.

The current formula of making the marketing company share 1/3rd of the subsidy burden ( the up stream and the Government share the rest equally) forces the corporation to cross subsidize price regulated fuels with other fuels that are not regulated like Gasoline, Fuel oil, Aviation Turbine Fuel and Lubricants. This has rendered the corporation's fuels and Lubricant segments uncompetitive with respect to private marketeers who are delving into the open priced fuel/ Lubricants markets in an aggressive way. The subsidy burden which went over Rs. 300 Billion in 2011 has thereby handicapped the public sector oil companies as a whole and Indian Oil in particular, by virtue of its large share of the energy market. Indian Oil has tried to come out of the disadvantageous position it finds itself vis-a-vis the private companies like Total Oil India Limited and Reliance Industries, by taking the fight to newer sectors where private players are dominant like Petrochemicals and Alternative Fuels. Petrochemicals is IndianOil's most profitable revenue division currently and massive investments in the recent years have been made in Petrochemical complexes at Panipat refinery and the upcoming Paradip refinery. Despite substantial well directed efforts, the corporation still faces significant challenges in maintaining its current dominance once the imminent free pricing is introduced, although the corporation's vast infrastructure shall also play to its advantage in such a scenario. Competitors[edit source | editbeta] Indian Oil Corporation has two major domestic competitors, Bharat Petroleum and Hindustan Petroleum. Both are state-controlled, like Indian Oil Corporation. There are two private competitors, Reliance Industries and Essar Oil. Oil Industry Development Board[edit source | editbeta] India has begun the development of a strategic crude oil reserve sized at 37.4 million barrels (5,950,000 m3), enough for two weeks of consumption.[8] Petroleum stocks have been transferred from the Indian Oil Corporation(IndianOil) to the Oil Industry Development Board (OIDB).[9] The OIDB then created the Indian Strategic Petroleum Reserves Ltd (ISPRL) to serve as the controlling government agency for the strategic reserve.[10] NTPC Limited From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search

On 21 May 2010, NTPC was conferred Maharatna status by the Union Government of India.[4] NTPC's core business is engineering, construction and operation of power generating plants and providing consultancy to power utilities in India and abroad. The total installed capacity of the company is 41,184 MW (including JVs) with 16 coal-based and seven gas-based stations, located across the country. In addition under JVs (joint ventures), six stations are coal-based, and another station uses naphtha/LNG as fuel. By 2017, the power generation portfolio is expected to have a diversified fuel mix with coal-based capacity of around 31,855 MW, 3,955 MW through gas, 1,328 MW through hydro generation, about 1,400 MW from nuclear sources and around 1,000 MW from Renewable Energy Sources (RES). NTPC has adopted a multi-pronged growth strategy which includes capacity addition through green field projects, expansion of existing stations, joint ventures, subsidiaries and takeover of stations. NTPC has been operating its plants at high efficiency levels. Although the company has 19% of the total national capacity it contributes 29% of total power generation due to its focus on high efficiency. NTPCs share at 31 Mar 2001 of the total installed capacity of the country was 24.51% and it generated 29.68% of the power of the country in 200809. Every fourth home in India is lit by NTPC. As at 31 Mar 2011 NTPC's share of the country's total installed capacity is 17.18% and it generated 27.4% of the power generation of the country in 201011. NTPC is lighting every third bulb in India. 170.88BU of electricity was produced by its stations in the financial year 20052006. The Net Profit after Tax on 31 March 2006 was 58.202 billion. Net profit after tax for the quarter ended 30 June 2006 was 15.528 billion, which is 18.65% more than that for the same quarter in the previous financial year. It is listed in Forbes Global 2000, for 2011 ranked it 348th[3] in the world. Pursuant to a special resolution passed by the Shareholders at the Companys Annual General Meeting on 23 September 2005 and the approval of the Central Government under section 21 of the Companies Act, 1956, the name of the Company "National Thermal Power Corporation Limited" has been changed to "NTPC Limited" with effect from 28 October 2005.

All these Load Despatch Centres come under Power System Operation Corporation Limited (POSOCO).

Future Goals[edit source | editbeta] The National Thermal Power Corporation Ltd is on an expansion spree to meet the power requirements of the country it has adopted a multi-pronged growth strategy to become a 50,000-mw plus company by 2012. NTPC envisages 75,000 mw plus installed capacity by 2017 which includes a significant addition of hydro capacity and forays into non-conventional and nuclear power generation. Dr. Arup Roy Choudhury, Chairman and managing director, NTPC, said that capacity addition through greenfield projects, expansion of existing stations, joint ventures and takeover of SEB stations were on the cards. Disclosing NTPCs future plans, Dr. Arup Roy Choudhury said that the nuclear agreement with the US would provide flexibility on the acquisition of technology for nuclear energy. A 2,000-mw nuclear power plant will come up in the middle of the 11th Five-Year Plan and another 2,000 mw at the end of the plan. The power major has also signed MoUs with the Arunachal Pradesh government for implementation of the 4,000-mw Etalin hydel power plant, the countrys largest hydro power project, and the 500-mw Attunli HEP project. NTPC also plans to go global. The public sector company has signed a memorandum of agreement with the Government of Sri Lanka and Ceylon Electricity Board for setting up a 500-mw (2x250 mw) coal-based thermal power plant in the island nation. An MoU has also been signed with Kyushu Electric Power Co. Inc., Japan, for establishing an alliance for exchange of information and experts from different areas of the business. The company is also in the process of finalising an MoU with Nigeria for setting up power plants against allocation of LNG on long-term basis for NTPC plants in India. Despite the major shortfall in the power ministrys 10th plan capacity addition programme, NTPC has all reason to be pleased with its performance of a total addition of 7,155 mw power during the period. The companys Vindhyachal super thermal power plant has become the countrys largest thermal generation plant with a total installed capacity of 3,200 mw. Apart from the commissioned projects, NTPC has reported good progress in its ongoing projects. At present, NTPC has a total of 11,360 mw capacity under construction. Its foray into hydro power has also gathered momentum with the 800-mw Koldam, 600-mw Loharinag Pala and 520-mw Tapovan Vishnugad moving ahead at a good pace. To ensure fuel supply for its upcoming thermal projects, NTPC has entered into agreements with Coal India Ltd and Singareni Collieries Company Ltd for jointly undertaking the development, operation and maintenance of the coal blocks. The coal ministry has also recently approved NTPCs Pakri Barwadih coal mining project which will be the largest mining capacity plan in India with estimated reserves of 15 million tonnes per annum.[8] Steel Authority of India From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Steel Authority of India Limited) Jump to: navigation, search This article's factual accuracy is disputed.

History[edit source | editbeta] 1959-1973[edit source | editbeta] SAIL traces its origin to the Hindustan Steel Limited (HSL) which was set up on January 19, 1954. HSL was initially designed to manage only one plant that was coming up at Rourkela. For Bhilai and Durgapur Steel Plants, the preliminary work was done by the Iron and Steel Ministry. From April 1957, the supervision and control of these two steel plants were also transferred to Hindustan Steel. The registered office was originally in New Delhi. It moved to Calcutta in July 1956, and ultimately to Ranchi in December 1959. A new steel company, Bokaro Steel Limited (Bokaro Steel Plant), was incorporated in January 1964 to construct and operate the steel plant at Bokaro. The 1 MT phases of Bhilai and Rourkela Steel Plants were completed by the end of December 1961. The 1 MT phase of Durgapur Steel Plant was completed in January 1962 after commissioning of the Wheel and Axle plant. The crude steel production of HSL went up from 1.58 MT (195960) to 1.6 MT. The second phase of Bhilai Steel Plant was completed in September 1967 after commissioning of the Wire Rod Mill. The last unit of the 1.8 MT phase of Rourkela - the Tandem Mill - was commissioned in February 1968, and the 1.6 MT stage of Durgapur Steel Plant was completed in August 1969 after commissioning of the Furnace in SMS. Thus, with the completion of the 2.5 MT stage at Bhilai, 1.8 MT at Rourkela and 1.6 MT at Durgapur, the total crude steel production capacity of HSL was raised to 3.7 MT in 1968-69 and subsequently to 4MT in 1972-73.[citation needed] IISCO was taken over as a subsidiary in 1978 and later merged in 2006.

Holding Company[edit source | editbeta] The Ministry of Steel and Mines drafted a policy statement to evolve a new model for managing industry. The policy statement was presented to the Parliament on December 2, 1972. On this basis the concept of creating a holding company to manage inputs and outputs under one umbrella was mooted. This led to the formation of Steel Authority of India Ltd. The company, incorporated on January 24, 1973 with an authorized capital of Rs. 2000 crore, was made responsible for managing five integrated steel plants at Bhilai, Bokaro, Durgapur, Rourkela and Burnpur, the Alloy Steel Plant and the Salem Steel Plant. In 1978 SAIL was restructured as an operating company. Major Units[edit source | editbeta] SAIL Integrated Steel Plants 1.

History[edit source | editbeta] GAIL (India) Limited was incorporated in August 1984 as a Central Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) under the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas (MoP&NG). The company was previously known as Gas Authority of India Limited. It is India's principal Gas transmission and marketing company. The company was initially given the responsibility of construction, operation & maintenance of the Hazira Vijaypur Jagdishpur (HVJ) pipeline Project. It was one of the largest cross-country natural gas pipeline projects in the world. Originally this 1800kilometre-long pipeline was built at a cost of 1700 crore (US$270 million) and it laid the foundation for development of market for natural gas in India. GAIL commissioned the 2,800 kilometres (1,700 mi) Hazira-Vijaipur-Jagdishpur (HVJ) pipeline in 1991. Between 1991 and 1993, three liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) plants were constructed and some regional pipelines acquired, enabling GAIL to begin its gas transportation in various parts of India.[citation needed] GAIL began its city gas distribution in New Delhi in 1997 by setting up nine compressed natural gas (CNG) stations.[citation needed] In order to secure Gas for its mainstream business Exploration and Production department was created. Today GAIL is a partner in the Dawoo-OVL led consortium in two offshore block in Myanmar which has made a gas discovery. Bulk of its blocks are located in India in the prolific basins of Cambay, Assam-Arakan, Mahanadi, Krishna Godavary Deep water and onland, Cauvery onland and deep water and western offshore. It is actively scouting for foreign blocks both exploratory or discovery.[citation needed] GAIL today has reached new milestones with its strategic diversification into Petrochemicals, Telecom and Liquid Hydrocarbons besides gas infrastructure. The company has also extended its presence in Power, Liquefied Natural Gas re-gasification, City Gas Distribution and Exploration & Production through participation in equity and joint ventures. Incorporating the new-found

energy into its corporate identity, Gas Authority of India was renamed GAIL (India) Limited on 22 November 2002.[citation needed] GAIL (India) Limited has shown organic growth in gas transmission through the years by building large network of trunk pipelines covering length of around 11,000 kilometres (6,800 mi). Leveraging on the core competencies, GAIL played a key role as gas market developer in India for decades catering to major industrial sectors like power, fertilizers, and city gas distribution. Currently GAIL transmits more than 160 mmscmd of gas through its dedicated pipelines and have more than 70% market share in both gas transmission and marketing.[citation

Infrastructure[edit source | editbeta] GAIL maintains a well-planned and efficient infrastructure setup. When the Company was set up in 1984 gas distribution was restricted to small, local and regional networks. The Company therefore concentrated its effort towards developing a transmission system that could meet the country's present and future requirements. Thus GAIL grew as the only company in India that has a ready built infrastructure for transmission, distribution and marketing of Natural Gas over long distances across the country. GAIL owns the country's largest pipeline network, the crosscountry 2300 km Hazira-Vijaipur-Jagdishpur pipeline with a capacity to handle 33.4 MMSCMD gas. The Company supplies gas to power plants for generation of over 4,000 MW of power to fertiliser plants for production of 10 million tonnes of urea and to several other industries. The regional pipelines are in Mumbai, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Pondicherry, Assam, Tripura, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Delhi. The Company has established six Gas Processing (LPG) Plants, four along the HVJ pipeline two at Vijaipur, MP, one at Vaghodia, Gujarat and Auraiya, UP and one each in Lakwa, Assam and Usar, Maharashtra. These plants have the capacity to produce nearly 1 million tpa of LPG. GAIL has also set up several Compressor Stations for boosting the gas pressure to desired levels for its customers and internal users. GAIL also possesses a vast telecommunication network that contributes significantly to the high level of system reliability of operations, on-line real time communication and monitoring higher productivity. GAIL became the first Infrastructure Provider Category II Licensee and signed the country's first Service Level Agreement for leasing bandwidth in the Delhi-Vijaipur sector in 2001, through its telecom business GAILTEL. GAIL Project offices have been set up where its plants, complexes, etc. are located. In 2001, GAIL commissioned world's longest and India's first Cross Country LPG Transmission Pipeline from Jamnagar to Loni. Operations[edit source | editbeta] Natural gas[edit source | editbeta] Natural gas transmission[edit source | editbeta] GAIL has built a network of trunk pipelines covering length of around 11,000 km. Leveraging on the core competencies, GAIL played a key role as gas market developer in India for decades catering to major industrial sectors like power, fertilizers, and city gas distribution. Currently GAIL transmits more than 160 MMSCMD of gas through its dedicated pipelines and have more

than 70% market share in both gas transmission and marketing. However, at present there are regional imbalances in gas supply across the country. To bridge this gap in infrastructure, Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, in the year 2007, authorised five new pipelines to GAIL covering a length of over 5,500 km. S. No. 1. 2 3. 4. 5.

Dahej Vijaipur pipeline and Vijaipur Dadri pipeline. All these projects are progressing well and are expected to be completed in phases by 2013 -14 or so. When these pipelines are commissioned, the capacity of GAIL pipeline system is expected to increase from 157 MMSCMD at present to over 300 MMSCMD and cover over 14,000 km. Gas marketing[edit source | editbeta] Since inception in 1984, GAIL has been the undisputed leader in the marketing, transmission and distribution of Natural Gas in India. As India's leading Natural Gas Major, it has been instrumental in the development of the Natural Gas market in the country. Currently, GAIL sells around 51% (excluding internal usage) of Natural Gas sold in the country. Of this, 37% is to the power sector and 26% to the fertiliser sector. Currently, GAIL is supplying around 60 MMSCMD of Natural Gas from domestic sources to customers across India. These customers range from the smallest of companies to mega power and fertiliser plants. GAIL has adopted a Gas Management System to handle multiple sources of supply and delivery of gas in a comingled form and provide a seamless interface between shippers, customers, transporters and suppliers. We are present in 11 states, i.e., Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Assam, and Tripura. We are further extending our coverage to states of Kerala, Karnataka, Punjab, Uttarakhand, West Bengal and Bihar through our upcoming pipelines. LNG[edit source | editbeta]

By the end of 200910, the gas consumption in India stood at 165 MMSCMD with LNG occupying 15% (25 MMSCMD) of the entire gas market. The proportion of imported LNG is expected to increase to anywhere between 20% and 30% by 2015. GAIL has been playing a principal role on its part in ensuring that Government's objective of achieving energy security is achieved through a judicious mix of energy portfolio. As a dominant player in the gas markets, GAIL play a major role in sourcing of LNG and creation of the pipeline infrastructure to form an efficient national grid that will ensure connectivity to all demand centres. To achieve these objectives, GAIL is actively pursuing LNG sourcing from major LNG producers/sellers all across the globe and has been adopting a strategy to have a mixed portfolio of spot, short/midterm, and long-term deals. To ensure long-term supplies in the past, GAIL has promoted Petronet LNG Ltd (PLL), along with oil majors Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) and Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) for the import of LNG into India. PLL is currently importing 7.5 MMTPA of LNG from Qatar for its Dahej Terminal on long term contract basis. PLL will also be importing 1.44 MMTPA from Gorgon LNG project, Australia for its Kochi Terminal. GAIL is also the sole transporter of the entire RLNG and a major off-taker from both these contracts. Further, from time-to-time GAIL had imported LNG on a spot basis to cater to additional gas demand in India. GAIL imported its first spot cargo from Algeria in May 2006 and within a shorter span has gone onto become a major importer of LNG in Asia. GAIL has so far imported 5 spot cargoes in the first half of 2011. In addition, GAIL has imported 1 LNG cargo from the international market through PLL. GAIL had also inked a short term deal with Marubeni Corporation to purchase up to 0.50 MMTPA of LNG on a medium term basis and has already received 3 LNG cargoes under the contract. The Government of India has entrusted GAIL with the responsibility of reviving the LNG terminal at Dabhol in Maharashtra, as well as sourcing LNG for the terminal. GAIL is currently exploring all the possible options for sourcing around 5 MMTPA of LNG for the Dabhol Terminal. GAIL has recently stepped up efforts to source LNG on a long-term basis from various projects across the globe including Qatar, Australia, Russia and US. Till now GAIL has signed 23 Master sales and Purchase Agreement (MSPA) with various LNG suppliers in its endeavor to source Spot & Medium Term from time to time. GAIL is also in talks to add 6 to 8 additional suppliers under the umbrella. Liquid hydrocarbons[edit source | editbeta] GAIL is marketing Gas Processing Unit's (GPU's) products namely liquefied petroleum gas, propane, pentane, naphtha and by-products of polymer plant namely MFO, propylene & hydrogenated C4 mix. LPG is being sold exclusively to PSU oil marketing companies (OMCs) while other products are sold directly to customers in retail segment. GAIL is India's major producer of propane, popularly known as GAIL Propane. It is an eco-friendly fuel and provides an effective way of reducing pollution and increasing productivity. GAIL produces and markets pentane. It is primarily being used for reprocessing into iso, normal & commercial pentane used in EPS, PU, LAB industry. Acetone and phenol are being produced from propylene by blending with benzene which are being mainly used in pharmaceutical industry. MFO is mainly used as fuel for heating, paint spraying, furniture polishing etc. Naphtha is primarily used by power,

fertilizer, steel and petrochemical units. In power, steel units it is used as a fuel, whereas in petrochemical, chemical, fertilizer units it is used as a feedstock. GAIL is presently operating seven gas processing units (GPU) located at Vijaipur (2 Units), Auraiya, Vaghodia, Usar, Lakwa & Gandhar plant for production of LPG and GCU at Pata plant for production of polymer. In the process of production of main products viz. LPG & polymer through GPU/GCU except Usar, the following by-products- liquid hydrocarbons (LHC) are produced: LPG production and transmission[edit source | editbeta] Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is the most widely used domestic and commercial fuel in India. Over the past four years GAIL has emerged as one of the major LPG producers in the country. Around 90 per cent of the LPG is consumed in India as fuel by the household sector, while the balance is sold to industrial and commercial customers. GAIL has seven LPG Plants, two at Vijaipur and one at Vaghodia, and one each in Lakwa (Assam), Auraiya (UP), Gandhar (Gujarat) and Usar (Maharashtra), producing over 1 million TPA LPG and other liquid hydrocarbons. LPG is sold in bulk to LPG retailing companies such IOCL, BPCL, HPCL and other liquid hydrocarbon products are sold to industries. GAIL is the first company in India to own and operate pipelines for LPG transmission. It has 1,900 km LPG pipeline network 1,300 km of which connects the western and northern parts of India and 600 km of networks is in the southern part of the country connecting Eastern Coast. The LPG transmission system has a capacity to transport 3.8 MMTPA of LPG. LPG transmission through pipelines was 3337 TMT in the year 201011. GAIL has a share of about 10% of the Indian LPG market in LPG production and 7% in LPG sales. Petrochemicals[edit source | editbeta] GAIL diversified from gas marketing and transmission into polymer business by setting up North India's first gas based Petrochemicals complex. Even without having any prior experience in petrochemicals, GAIL commissioned the plant successfully in year 1999 by rigorous team work and project management capabilities. Currently petrochemical business is one of the core focus area of GAIL. GAIL has set up a world-scale gas cracker plant, petrochemical complex at Pata in Auraiya district of Uttar Pradesh with an investment of 2500 crore (US$400 million). The plant has a design capacity to produce 300,000 TPA of ethylene (Expandable to 500,000 TPA). Downstream units include HDPE production unit of 100,000-TPA capacity and an LLDPE/HDPE swing plant of 160,000-TPA capacity. This complex recovers ethane-propane (C2/C3) from natural gas from Vijaipur through the HVJ pipeline for producing polymers. Conversion of ethane-propane (otherwise used as fuel) from natural gas will give tremendous value addition. GAIL Pata is the only HDPE/LLDPE plant operating in Northern India and has a dominant market share in North India. The primary thrust markets for the polymers had been Western India, but, with the entry of GAIL in the HDPE & LLDPE market Verticals, today North India has also witnessed a rapid and significant growth in the polymer downstream processing Verticals. In a successful span of about a decades of establishing and marketing its grades under the brand names G-Lex & G-Lene, GAIL has alongside augmented its name plate

capacity of HDPE & LLDPE to 410,000 MTPA by adding another dedicated HDPE downstream polymerisation unit of 100,000 MTPA. The current per capita consumption of plastics in India is about 1.8 kg compared with the world average of 17 kg. Demand and supply projections indicate a progressively increasing domestic offtake. Being the only plant outside western India, it offers easy access to polymer consumers in Northern India and parts of Central India. GAIL has set up a joint venture, Brahmaputra Cracker and Polymer Limited BCPL, to construct a Greenfield petrochemical plant in Assam. GAIL also has equity stake in OPAL petrochemical plant led by ONGC.[citation needed] Further, GAIL is a co-promoter with 17% equity stake in ONGC Petroadditions Limited (OPaL) which is implementing a green field petrochemical complex of 1.1 MMTPA ethylene capacity at Dahej in the state of Gujarat. Further, GAIL is working on augmentation of the installed capacity further by putting up new plants of HDPE/LLDPE by 500 KTA at Pata, which is targeted to be operational by FY 201314. City gas distribution[edit source | editbeta] GAIL is the pioneer of city gas distribution in India. GAIL took many initiatives to introduce PNG for households and CNG for the transport sector to address the rising pollution levels. Pilot projects were launched in early 1990s in two metros Delhi and Mumbai through joint venture companies Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL) and Mahanagar Gas Limited (MGL) leading to the start of commercial operation of city gas projects. The results of these ventures are quite visible through the improvement in air quality in these cities. Based on the success of IGL and MGL, GAIL has further set up six more JVCs viz Bhagyanagar Gas Limited, Andhra Pradesh; Avantika Gas Limited in Madhya Pradesh; Central U P Gas Limited & Green Gas Limited in Uttar Pradesh; Maharashtra Natural Gas Limited in Pune Maharashtra and Tripura Natural Gas Company Limited in Tripura. for CGD projects in various cities. However, Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas established the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) with effect from 01.10.2007, under the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board Act 2006, to regulate the refining, processing, storage, transportation, distribution, marketing and sale of petroleum, petroleum products and natural gas excluding production of crude oil and natural gas. The Petroleum & Natural Gas Regulatory Board Act-2006 provides the legal framework for the development of the natural gas pipelines and city or local gas distribution networks. With the arrival of the PNGRB the implementation of PNG in various cities is being taken up in a phased manner as and when the bids are called for by the Regulator. Exploration and production[edit source | editbeta] GAIL is currently participating in 31 exploration blocks, in Basins such as Mahanadi, Mumbai, Cambay, Assam-Arakan, Tripura Fold Belt, Gujarat Kutch, Krishna Godavari, Cauvery and Cauvery Palar.

Socially useful programmes have been undertaken in GAIL since its inception in and around the areas adjoining its major work centres under the SCP/TSP Plan. But over the years, the scope of the CSR activities, the nature of programmes undertaken and the systems adopted for implementation of these programmes have been streamlined and strengthened and the work under SCP/TSP came under the wider scope of CSR. Today, CSR & sustainability development is accorded high priority in the organisational ethos and attempted to be interwoven in all the business activities and the projects that are being undertaken by the company. During the year 201011, the company has taken up programmes of a value of approximately 57.5 crore (US$9.1 million) for implementation under the seven thrust areas, which include Community Development, Infrastructure, Healthcare/Medical, Skill Development/Empowerment, Educational Aids, Environment Protection, Drinking Water/Sanitation. For the year 201011 under the thrust area Community Development, programmes worth 15.68 crore (US$2.5 million) are endorsed and the implementation of these projects is in progression. GAIL (India) Ltd. extended its support for reconstruction & renovation of numerous public utilities/building which improved living standards not only for a person or family but for whole of the villages where this project was implemented. For the sustainable development of the whole community GAIL is also supporting integrated livelihood programmes in villages especially for small and Marginal farmers. This would be considered as a drop in the vast ocean but GAIL along with other Oil PSU's is contributing towards provision of LPG connexions to BPL families under Rajiv Gandhi Gramin LPG Vitrak Yojana. This collaborative combined effort of the Oil PSUs would be able to generate a huge wave in the ocean in UP region. GAIL believes that for providing better tomorrow for the community where it has its working the focus should be on the future of the community i.e. CHILDREN & STUDENTS. So in view of this

belief GAIL is providing vehicles for distribution of Mid-Day Meal for underprivilleged children of Government schools so as to encourage the young girls and boys to educate themselves for their better & secured life. GAIL in the miniscule of its efforts have tried to touch every aspect of life by providing Night shelters and blankets to villagers, adoption of destitute tribal children of the orphanage in the tribal area, generating Aids awareness & Behaviour Change Communication programme for truckers of national highways and providing school bus for physically challenged students. In just two years, more than 314,000 families have benefitted from the programmes under Community Development.

Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC) (NSE: ONGC, BSE: 500312) is an Indian multinational oil and gas company headquartered in Dehradun, India. It is one of the largest Asia-based oil and gas exploration and production companies, and produces around 72% of India's crude oil (equivalent to around 30% of the country's total demand) and around 48% of its natural gas.[2] It is one of the largest publicly traded companies by market capitalization in India.[3] ONGC has been ranked 357th in the Fortune Global 500 list of the world's biggest corporations for the year 2012.[4] It is also among the Top 250 Global Energy Company by Platts.[5] ONGC was founded on 14 August 1956 by the Indian state, which currently holds a 69.23% equity stake. It is involved in exploring for and exploiting hydrocarbons in 26 sedimentary basins of India, and owns and operates over 11,000 kilometers of pipelines in the country. Its international subsidiary ONGC Videsh currently has projects in 15 countries.ONGC has discovered 6 of the 7 commercially-producing Indian Basins, in the last 50 years, adding over 7.1 billion tonnes of In-place Oil & Gas volume of hydrocarbons in Indian basins.Against a global decline of production from matured fields, ONGC has maintained production from its brownfields like Mumbai High, with the help of aggressive investments in various IOR (Improved Oil Recovery) and EOR (Enhanced Oil Recovery) schemes. . Recovery Factor has improved from 28 per cent [in 2000] to 33.5 per cent (in 2011). Significantly Reserve Replenishment Ratio for the last 7 years, has been more than one. Contents [hide]

History[edit source | editbeta] Foundation to 1961[edit source | editbeta] During the pre-independence period, the Assam Oil Company in the northeastern and Attock Oil company in northwestern part of the undivided India were the only oil companies producing oil in the country, with minimal exploration input. The major part of Indian sedimentary basins was deemed to be unfit for development of oil and gas resources. After independence, the national Government realized the importance of oil and gas for rapid industrial development and its strategic role in defense. Consequently, while framing the Industrial Policy Statement of 1948, the development of petroleum industry in the country was considered to be of utmost necessity. Until 1955, private oil companies mainly carried out exploration of hydrocarbon resources of India. In Assam, the Assam Oil Company was producing oil at Digboi (discovered in 1889) and Oil India Ltd. (a 50% joint venture between Government of India and Burmah Oil Company) was engaged in developing two newly discovered large fields Naharkatiya and Moraan in Assam. In West Bengal, the Indo-Stanvac Petroleum project (a joint venture between Government of India and Standard Vacuum Oil Company of USA) was engaged in exploration work. The vast sedimentary tract in other parts of India and adjoining offshore remained largely unexplored. In 1955, Government of India decided to develop the oil and natural gas resources in the various regions of the country as part of the Public Sector development. With this objective, an Oil and Natural Gas Directorate was set up towards the end of 1955, as a subordinate office under the then Ministry of Natural Resources and Scientific Research. The department was constituted with a nucleus of geoscientists from the Geological survey of India. A delegation under the leadership of Mr. K D Malviya, the-then Minister of Natural Resources, visited several European countries to study the status of oil industry in those countries and to facilitate the training of Indian professionals for exploring potential oil and gas reserves. Experts from Romania, the Soviet Union, the United States and West Germany subsequently visited India and helped the government with their expertise. Soviet experts later drew up a detailed plan for geological and geophysical surveys and drilling operations to be carried out in the 2nd Five Year Plan (1956-57 to 1960-61). In April 1956, the Government of India adopted the Industrial Policy Resolution, which placed mineral oil industry among the schedule 'A' industries, the future development of which was to be the sole and exclusive responsibility of the state.

Soon, after the formation of the Oil and Natural Gas Directorate, it became apparent that it would not be possible for the Directorate with its limited financial and administrative powers as subordinate office of the Government, to function efficiently. So in August, 1956, the Directorate was raised to the status of a commission with enhanced powers, although it continued to be under the government. In October 1959, the Commission was converted into a statutory body by an act of the Indian Parliament, which enhanced powers of the commission further. The main functions of the Oil and Natural Gas Commission subject to the provisions of the Act, were "to plan, promote, organize and implement programmes for development of Petroleum Resources and the production and sale of petroleum and petroleum products produced by it, and to perform such other functions as the Central Government may, from time to time, assign to it ". The act further outlined the activities and steps to be taken by ONGC in fulfilling its mandate. 1961 to 2000[edit source | editbeta]

An ONGC platform at Bombay High in the Arabian Sea Since its inception, ONGC has been instrumental in transforming the country's limited upstream sector into a large viable playing field, with its activities spread throughout India and significantly in overseas territories. In the inland areas, ONGC not only found new resources in Assam but also established new oil province in Cambay basin (Gujarat), while adding new petroliferous areas in the Assam-Arakan Fold Belt and East coast basins (both inland and offshore). ONGC went offshore in early 70's and discovered a giant oil field in the form of Bombay High, now known as Mumbai High. This discovery, along with subsequent discoveries of huge oil and gas fields in Western offshore changed the oil scenario of the country. Subsequently, over 5 billion tonnes of hydrocarbons, which were present in the country, were discovered. The most important contribution of ONGC, however, is its self-reliance and development of core competence in E&P activities at a globally competitive level. ONGC became a publicly held company in February 1994, with 20% of its equity were sold to the public and eighty percent retained by the Indian government. At the time, ONGC employed 48,000 people and had reserves and surpluses worth 104.34 billion, in addition to its intangible assets. The corporation's net worth of 107.77 billion was the largest of any Indian company. In 1958 the then Chairman, Keshav Dev Malaviya, held a meeting with some geologists in the Mussoorie office of the Geology Directorate where he accepted the need for ONGC to go outside India too in order to enhance Indian owned capacity for oil production. The argument in support

for this step,by LP Mathur and BS Negi, was that Indian demand for crude would go up at a faster rate than discoveries by ONGC in India. Malaviya followed this up by making ONGC apply for exploration licences in the Persian Gulf. Iran gave ONGC four blocks and Malaviya visited Milan and Bartlseville to request ENI and Phillips Petroleum to join as partners in the Iran venture. This resulted in the discovery of the Rostum oilfield in the early 'sixties, very soon after the discovery of Ankleswar in Gujarat. This was the very first investment by the Indian public sector in foreign countries and oil from Rostum and Raksh was brought to Cochin where it was refined in a refinery built with technical assistane from Phillips. 2000 to present[edit source | editbeta] In 2003, ONGC Videsh acquired Talisman Energy's 25% stake in the Greater Nile Oil project.[6] In 2006 a commemorative coin set was issued to mark the 50th anniversary of the founding of ONGC, making it only the second Indian company (State Bank of India being the first) to have such a coin issued in its honour. In 2011, ONGC applied to purchase of 2000 acres of land at Dahanu to process offshore gas.[7] ONGC Videsh, along with Statoil ASA (Norway) and Repsol SA (Spain), has been engaged in deepwater drilling off the northern coast of Cuba in 2012.[8] On 11 August 2012, ONGC announced that it had made a large oil discovery in the D1 oilfield off the West coast of India, which will help it to raise the output of the field from around 12,500 barrels per day (bpd) to a peak output of 60,000 bpd.[9] In November 2012, ONGC Videsh agreed to acquire ConocoPhillips' 8.4% stake in the Kashagan oilfield in Kazakhstan for around US$5 billion, in ONGC's largest acquisition to date.[10] The acquisition is subject to the approval of the governments of Kazakhstan and India and also to other partners in the Caspian Sea field waiving their pre-emption rights.[11] ONGC is currently the most profitable Public Sector Firm of India.[12] It has topped the coveted list of top ten most profit-making PSUs of India for the year of 2011-12. ONGC is currently executing various projects across India. ONGC in the year 2013 August has posted a net profit of Rs 4,015 crore for the first quarter of FY14. ONGC Videsh[edit source | editbeta] ONGC Videsh Limited (OVL) is the international arm of ONGC. It was rechristened on 15 June 1989. It currently has 14 projects across 16 countries. Its oil and gas production reached 8.87 MMT of O+oEG in 2010, up from 0.252 MMT of O+OEG in 2002/03. ONGC Tripura Power Company[edit source | editbeta]

ONGC Tripura Power Company Ltd (OTPC) is a joint venture which was formed in September 2008 between ONGC, Infrastructure Leasing and Financial Services Limited and the Government of Tripura. It is developing a 726.6 MW CCGT thermal power generation project at Palatana in Tripura which will supply electricity to the power deficit areas of the north eastern states of the country.[13] Bharat Electronics From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Bharat Electronics Limited) Jump to: navigation, search This article appears to be written like an advertisement.

In 1989 BEL started manufacturing Telecom Switching and Transmission Systems as also the set up the Mass Manufacturing Facility in Bangalore and the manufacture of the first batch of 75,000 Electronic Voting Machines.

The agreement for setting up BEL's first Joint Venture Company, BE DELFT, with M/s Delft of Holland was signed in 1990. Recently this became a subsidiary of BEL with the exit of the foreign partner and has been renamed BEL Optronic Devices Limited. The second Central Research Laboratory was established at Ghaziabad in 1992. The first disinvestment (20%) and listing of the Company's shares in Bangalore and Mumbai Stock Exchanges took place in same year-1992.

In 1996 BEL achieved Rs 1,000 crore (US$215 Million) turnover. In 1997, GE BEL, the second Joint Venture Company with M/s GE, USA, was formed as also the third JVC with M/s Multitone, UK, BEL Multitone. The same year, the US imposed supply restrictions on BEL. In 1998, BEL set up its second overseas office at Singapore to source components from South East Asia. In the same year US and Europe imposed sanctions on BEL. The Company was able to overcome the effects of the sanctions and kept up the promised deliveries to customers. In the year 2000 BEL reorganized its Bangalore unit into six Strategic Business Units (SBUs). The R&D groups in Bangalore were also restructured into Specific Core Groups and Product Development Groups. The same year, BEL shares were listed in the National Stock Exchange.

BEL is the lead integrator of Akash, the Indian-made guided missile air defence weapon system. Another major system is Weapon Locating Radar, the state-of-the-art passive, phased array radar which has undergone successful user trials by the Indian defence forces. Corporate Social Responsibilities[edit source | editbeta] BEL is involved in various community development initiatives wherever it is present across India. The BEL has its own educational institutions among them one is special school for the mentally challenged students. It has set up Hospital, Creche and other welfare measures for its employees and their dependants. BEL assigns some resources for social causes. When it completed 50 years of existence it allocated a good amount of funds for celebration. Approximately Rs 4 Crore were spent of society related initiatives. BEL has set up an Electronics Gallery at Visveswariah Industrial and Technological Museum in Bangalore and chennai. BEL encourages culture of community initiative at its manufacturing unit level and ensures all the employees take part in these initiatives.[10] Recent Development[edit source | editbeta] Bharat Electronics is forming some joint ventures to achieve technical excellence. Bharat Electronics Limited has set up a Joint Venture with General Electric (GE) USA, for manufacturing high voltage tanks and detector modules for Computed Tomography (CT) scan systems and advanced level of X-ray tubes. The company is in the process of joining with BHEL (Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited) to set up a joint venture to make solar photovoltaic components. BEL has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Idus Teqsite, Chennnai for the design and development of digital subsystems for its equipment, test systems for its radars, avionics and electronic warfare. BEL signed another MOU with a French company Thales International to set up a joint venture for civilian and defence Radars.[11] Financial Indicators[edit source | editbeta] As per the report published by Crisil research on April 21, 2011 the revenue of company has increased but EBITDA margins have reduced significantly from 24.6% in March 2009 to 16.8% in March 2010. In revenue it is quite bigger than its peer competitors like Astra Microware Products Limited, Gemini Communications Limited and Sterlite Technologies Limited. BEL's EBITDA margin is lower the Astra and Gemini though they are small in size. The reason for

increased top line growth is the increased expenditure on defence by Government of India. Last three years PAT remains stable because of lower interest rate and forex gain of close to Rs 700 million compared to forex loss in FY 09 of Rs 445.2 million.[11] Customer Coordination Cell[edit source | editbeta] Recently BEL has set up the Customer Coordination Cell with Toll Free Number : 1800 425 0433 The customers of BEL consisting of Army, Navy, Air Force, Paramilitary, Coast Guard, Police, Doordarshan, All India Radio, Department of Telecommunications and consumers of professional electronic components are allowed to register their complaints with the Customer Co-ordination Cell through phone, fax or the Internet.

History[edit source | editbeta] In 1989 during vast industrial development, an important player in the South Asian market was the Burmah Oil Company. Though incorporated in Scotland in 1886, the company grew out of the enterprises of the Chef Rohit Oil Company, which had been formed in 1871 to refine crude oil produced from primitive hand dug wells in Upper Burma. In 1928, Asiatic Petroleum Company (India) started cooperation with Burma oil company. This alliance led to the formation of Burmah-Shell Oil Storage and Distributing Company of India Limited. Burmah Shell began its operations with import and marketing of Kerosene. On 24 January 1976, the Burmah Shell was taken over by the Government of India to form Bharat Refineries Limited. On 1 August 1977, it was renamed Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited. It was also the first refinery to process newly found indigenous crude Bombay High. In 2003, following a petition by the Centre for Public Interest Litigation, the Supreme Court restrained the Central government from privatizing Hindustan Petroleum and Bharat Petroleum without the approval of Parliament.[3] As counsel for the CPIL, Rajinder Sachar and Prashant Bhushan said that the only way to disinvest in the companies would be to repeal or amend the Acts by which they were nationalized in the 1970s.[4] As a result, the government would need a majority in both houses to push through any privatization.[5] Operations[edit source | editbeta] Bharat Petroleum owns Mumbai Refinery[6] and Kochi Refineries[7] with a capacity of 12 and 9.5 million metric tonnes per year.

History[edit source | editbeta]

Production line of the HAL Dhruv at Bangalore HAL was established as Hindustan Aircraft in Bangalore in 1940 by Seth Walchand Hirachand to produce military aircraft for the Royal Indian Air Force. The initiative was actively encouraged by the Kingdom of Mysore, especially by the Diwan, Sir Mirza Ismail and it also had financial help from the Indian Government. Mysore was favoured because of the availability of cheap electricity.[2] The organisation and equipment for the factory at Bangalore was set up by William D. Pawley of the Intercontinental Aircraft Corporation of New York, an exporter of American aircraft to the region. Pawley managed to obtain a large number of machine-tools and equipment from the United States. The Indian Government bought a one-third stake in the company and by April 1941 as it believed this to be a strategic imperative. The decision by the government was primarily motivated to boost British military hardware supplies in Asia to counter the increasing threat posed by Imperial Japan during Second World War. The Kingdom of Mysore supplied two directors, Air Marshal John Higgins was resident director. The first aircraft built was a Harlow PC-5[3] On 2 April 1942, the government announced that the company had been nationalised when it had bought out the stakes of Seth Walchand Hirachand and other promoters so that it could act freely. The Mysore Kingdom refused to sell its stake in the company but yielded the management control over to the Indian Government. In 1943 the Bangalore factory was handed over to the United States Army Air Forces but still using Hindustan Aircraft management. The factory expanded rapidly and became the centre for major overhaul and repair of American aircraft and was known as the 84th Air Depot. The first aircraft to be overhauled was a Consolidated PBY Catalina followed by every type of aircraft operated in India and Burma. When returned to Indian control two-years later the factory had

become one of the largest overhaul and repair organisations in the East. In the post war reorganization the company built railway carriages as an interim activity.

IJT prototype in its hangar. After India gained independence in 1947, the management of the company was passed over to the Government of India. Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) was formed on 1 October 1964 when Hindustan Aircraft Limited joined the consortium formed in June by the IAF Aircraft Manufacturing Depot, Kanpur (at the time manufacturing HS.748 under licence) and the group recently set up to manufacture Mig-21 under licence (with its new factories planned in Koraput, Nasik and Hyderabad).[4] Though HAL was not used actively for developing newer models of fighter jets, the company has played a crucial role in modernization of the Indian Air Force. In 1957 company started manufacturing Bristol Siddeley Orpheus jet engines under license at new factory located in Bangalore. During the 1980s, HAL's operations saw a rapid increase which resulted in the development of new indigenous aircraft such as HAL Tejas and HAL Dhruv. HAL also developed an advanced version of the MiG-21, known as MiG-21 Bison, which increased its life-span by more than 20 years. HAL has also obtained several multi-million dollar contracts from leading international aerospace firms such as Airbus, Boeing and Honeywell to manufacture aircraft spare parts and engines. By 2012, HAL was reportedly been bogged down in the details of production and has been slipping on its schedules.[5] Operations[edit source | editbeta] One of the largest aerospace companies in Asia, HAL has annual turnover of over US$2 billion. More than 40% of HAL's revenues come from international deals to manufacture aircraft engines, spare parts, and other aircraft materials. A partial list of major operations undertaken by HAL includes the following:
