Let us not beat around the bush and say that the Federation of Indian Petroleum Industry is more than just an industry lobby group.
8If it tries to be something else, it is not.
8But it does try to give the impression of being more than just a lobbying group. One way of doing so is by bringing out oil & gas reports but the effort lacks depth and data.
8The reason for that is because it just reorders publicly available data into PDF files and titles them bombastically, such as its "Policy and Economic Report for the Oil & Gas Industry" series, for example. FIPI cannot be blamed for what is trying to do
8The organization's storied members should help out, by making available some of their own data to the industry body so that it can come up with some truly incisive data analysis.
8Or otherwise, its attempts to become the equivalent of the American Petroleum Institute will fail.
8But the problem in today's India is that no one wants to part with any information whatsoever, and who knows that better than we do

The Morbi industrial cluster has become a subject of study for this website not because it is the largest consumer of gas for an industrial area, but for other reasons as well, including the fact this community encompasses the very spirit of Indian entrepreneurship.
8There is a hint of another gas price increase now after the last one raised the price from Rs 37/SCM to Rs 41.60/SCM. Can LPG be an alternative in a situation where gas prices are high?
8And it is not price rise alone that worries Morbi, there are other imperatives at play.
