Our business Refineries products would not be available for growth and development of a nation. The two coastal refineries at Mumbai and Vishakhapatnam and one joint venture refining facility at Mangalore Refinery & Petrochemicals Limited have been sustaining almost 20% of India’s refining requirements. HPCL refineries upgrade the crude petroleum into many value-added products and over 300 grades of lubricants, specialties and greases. The Lubricating Oils Refinery set up at Mumbai is largest refinery in India. The refinery produces superior quality lube base oils. The offsite product handling facilities of refineries at Mumbai and Vishakhapatnam has been automated. Projects have been implemented and facilities upgraded to produce green fuels like unleaded petrol and low sulphur diesel. The refineries have been benchmarked by an international agency for various performance parameters. Numerous awards have been bestowed on both the refineries in recognition of the efforts in the field of energy conservation, environment and safety.
LPG its endeavour to improve the costumer satisfaction, HPCL has launched the ‘Ji Haan’, services in 2002, aimed at reinforcing a strong positive service orientation of HP Gas. . Basis research finding on customers apprehension on the weight of gas in cylinders, HP Gas has, since last year, provided weighing scales to all its delivery boys across the country, given the customer an option to weigh the cylinders at their doorsteps The Reticulated system or Piped LPG for domestic use is a value addition to customers, with a view to enhance safety, loyalty and uninterrupted supply of gas to households. In this direction, HPCL has successfully installed reticulated supply in Mumbai, Pune, Jaipur, Cochin, Delhi, Visakh, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Bangalore covering more than 1600 flats. Rural India is an emerging potential market and no business venture can afford to ignore it. However, the specific barriers to the penetration of LPG in rural India are cost - both one-time and recurring – nonavailability of LPG owing to a poor distribution system, easy availability of alternative, cheap fuel and
low level of product awareness and its benefits. HP GAS has charted out a detailed strategy to address all these barriers and entered rural markets with the launch of 5 Kg cylinders.. As part of its social commitment as a responsible corporate, HPCL has introduced an innovative scheme, HP GAS Rasoi Ghar or the concept of community kitchen, for the upliftment of the poorest of the poor by providing a common cooking platform for a village, where users have to pay only on the basis of the time utilized for cooking. This eliminates both the barriers of one-time high deposit as well as the recurring cost of refills. The company is already operating nearly 1024 such Rasoi Ghars across the country, benefiting more than 15,000 families. Moreover, stalls have been set up in major rural melas such as Pushkar Mela, Sonpur Mela and the like to increase awareness of the benefits of LPG.

Apart from the Kenyan government and BP, other shareholders of KPRL are Caltex with 15.77 pct stake and Shell with 17.11 pct, the report said.

We are in the process of identifying JV partners for our Punjab refinery and will finalise the deal by this year-end.

Our business Refineries products would not be available for growth and development of a nation. The two coastal refineries at Mumbai and Vishakhapatnam and one joint venture refining facility at Mangalore Refinery & Petrochemicals Limited have been sustaining almost 20% of India’s refining requirements. HPCL refineries upgrade the crude petroleum into many value-added products and over 300 grades of lubricants, specialties and greases. The Lubricating Oils Refinery set up at Mumbai is largest refinery in India. The refinery produces superior quality lube base oils. The offsite product handling facilities of refineries at Mumbai and Vishakhapatnam has been automated. Projects have been implemented and facilities upgraded to produce green fuels like unleaded petrol and low sulphur diesel. The refineries have been benchmarked by an international agency for various performance parameters. Numerous awards have been bestowed on both the refineries in recognition of the efforts in the field of energy conservation, environment and safety.
LPG its endeavour to improve the costumer satisfaction, HPCL has launched the ‘Ji Haan’, services in 2002, aimed at reinforcing a strong positive service orientation of HP Gas. . Basis research finding on customers apprehension on the weight of gas in cylinders, HP Gas has, since last year, provided weighing scales to all its delivery boys across the country, given the customer an option to weigh the cylinders at their doorsteps The Reticulated system or Piped LPG for domestic use is a value addition to customers, with a view to enhance safety, loyalty and uninterrupted supply of gas to households. In this direction, HPCL has successfully installed reticulated supply in Mumbai, Pune, Jaipur, Cochin, Delhi, Visakh, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Bangalore covering more than 1600 flats. Rural India is an emerging potential market and no business venture can afford to ignore it. However, the specific barriers to the penetration of LPG in rural India are cost - both one-time and recurring – nonavailability of LPG owing to a poor distribution system, easy availability of alternative, cheap fuel and
low level of product awareness and its benefits. HP GAS has charted out a detailed strategy to address all these barriers and entered rural markets with the launch of 5 Kg cylinders.. As part of its social commitment as a responsible corporate, HPCL has introduced an innovative scheme, HP GAS Rasoi Ghar or the concept of community kitchen, for the upliftment of the poorest of the poor by providing a common cooking platform for a village, where users have to pay only on the basis of the time utilized for cooking. This eliminates both the barriers of one-time high deposit as well as the recurring cost of refills. The company is already operating nearly 1024 such Rasoi Ghars across the country, benefiting more than 15,000 families. Moreover, stalls have been set up in major rural melas such as Pushkar Mela, Sonpur Mela and the like to increase awareness of the benefits of LPG.

The newspaper cited sources as saying that HPCL will acquire the entire 50 pct stake of the Kenyan government and 17.11 pct of BP Africa in KPRL. Apart from the Kenyan government and BP, other shareholders of KPRL are Caltex with 15.77 pct stake and Shell with 17.11 pct, the report said.

It quoted HPCL's chairman and managing director MB Lal as saying that 'we are in advanced discussions with Total to partner in our Vizag refinery. This would be an exportoriented refinery and would cost about 16,000 crore rupees(160 bln rupees).' HPCL and Total are expected to own 26 pct stake each in the Vizag project, while the remaining 48 pct will be offered to public through an IPO, the report said.

AFX News Limited India state oil firms drop out of bid for Singapore Petroleum stake - report 09.26.2005, 02:42 AM BOMBAY (AFX) - State-owned oil companies Indian Oil Corp Ltd, Hindustan Petroleum Corp Ltd (HPCL) and Bharat Petroleum Corp Ltd (BPCL) have backed out of the race to pick up a stake in Singapore Petroleum Corp (SPC), the Financial Express reported, citing company officials. All these oil companies had initiated discussions with SPC for acquiring partial stake in the Singapore oil major, but are backing out of the deal because of the high prices quoted by SPC, the newspaper said. This is despite the fact that HPCL and BPCL also offered SPC equity participation in their proposed refineries in India, it said. 'We were in initial talks with SPC, but have not received encouraging response from them. We are in the process of identifying JV partners for our Punjab refinery and will finalise the deal by this year-end. This would be a broad-based partnership, where we would be working with them overseas,' HPCL's chairman chairman MB Lal was quoted as saying. Ashok Sinha, chairman and managing director, BPCL, told the paper that 'SPC is asking for a very high premium, which is not viable for us. We will focus more on 'farm in' opportunities overseas.' Indian Oil chairman S Behuria was quoted as saying that 'We were in talks with SPC, but nothing has materialised so far. Now, we are looking at across geographies for equity participation, which also include US, Europe and Africa.' rc/
