Even as Indian refineries begin a massive expansion of their capacities, the projection is that the world will have a refining over capacity by 2025. And surplus capacity is projected all the way till the year 2040
8Around 2.1 million barrels per day of refining capacity may have to be shut by 2025. Unless a hefty duty protection is available to Indian refineries, and the oil marketing companies can run the new capacity at global scale and efficiency, they might run into a serious road block.
8In the context of these fresh projections, should refining capacity expansions in India be re-examined? 
8Those which run on doles, such as the Numaligarh refinery expansion which gets a 50% excise duty relief and various other concessions, and for which crude is going to be ferried all the way from Paradip and the finished product sent back through a parallel pipeline to the mainland from Upper Assam where the refinery is located, may become unviable even as it is built.

What is the "premium" you can extract from India's deepwater gas discoveries over the global benchmark gas prices?
8This is the question now at play with two gas tenders, one from ONGC and the other from the RIL-BP combine -- to be finalized soon.
8There is a government announced ceiling price of $8.43/MMBtu for October 2019 to March 2020 for such gas, but the price that will be solicited will be much lower.
8Domestic gas prices are now going to be determined by international LNG prices, beyond that it remains to be seen whether a premium, as ONGC is seeking, can be solicited.
8What domestic players will get is a higher cost for gas, which will include liquefaction, transportation and regasification elements, than well head prices in an exporting country but quite a bit of this buffer gets whittled down by an unreformed gas market.

Cairn India is not known to be a company for which vendors would like to work
8It squeezes them hard, does not pay them on time, and the management often changes policies mid-way if they do not have the advantage
8This is what a bunch of seismic survey companies are finding out, much to their dismay
8Yet, at the same time, Cairn is too big a company for anyone to ignore. Also, Cairn while being whimsical at times, is certainly more flexible than a company like ONGC.
