ONGC: Subsidy burden to leave co poorer by Rs 1,400 cr

21 Dec 2010 Evaluate

In 2010-11, ONGC is estimated to shell out in excess of Rs 20,000 crore as its subsidy share for oil marketing companies, while it will be left poorer by only Rs 1,400 crore, because of the skewed royalty policy that governs its investments in the pre-auction Cairn blocks.

ONGC may have to shell out an excess of Rs 20,000 crore as subsidies in fiscal 2010-11, if the current policy of sharing one-third the subsidy bill of oil marketing companies continues. The company is estimated to take a hit in excess of Rs 20,000 this fiscal under the present policy.

ONGC sold its oil at an average of $55.7 a barrel up to the first half of this financial year, when average oil prices were ruling at $80 a barrel. The average price of crude is expected to only firm up in the coming months, leaving ONGC with a lower realization, going forward.
