With the revision in norms for 11 units urea at present, the savings in subsidy is expected to be around Rs. 268 crore per annum.
8Once the remaining units migrate to the revised norms, ICRA expects the total subsidy saving to be Rs. 1,500-1,700 crore per annum based on the prevailing pooled gas prices.
8The tightening of norms will negatively affect the profitability of the urea units as the energy savings earned would decline vis-a-vis the earlier norms.
8The continuation of energy norms for the naphtha-based urea manufacturers is a key relief for these players as it will ensure economic viability of these units. However, the delay in pipeline connectivity will continue to keep the profitability of these entities vulnerable to the volatility in price of naphtha and R-LNG as the energy charges are reckoned on the basis of lower of the above two fuel prices.
8The point to note is that despite the tinkering of policy, key return metrics of the urea manufacturers remain subdued due to lack of timely revision in fixed costs as part of the retention pricing, regular tightening of energy norms, delays in payment of subsidy, leading to high interest costs which are not reimbursed as part of subsidy scheme, and no material increase in farm gate price of urea. The industry is in urgent need of policy measures to address these concerns, even as the basic of the players is supported by the regulated nature of business and certainty of subsidy payments, albeit with delays.

It may not be an easy for RIL and ONGC to market new gas supplies coming in from their KG Basin discoveries.
8The reason being the pipeline ferrying cost to demand centers where LNG is preponderant will be expensive
8If $6/mmbtu is target price of new gas from ONGC and OIL, the delivered price of gas would cross $8/mmbtu
8LNG suppliers are also claiming that with a lower peak production level, it will not be easy to coax customers away from their long term LNG GSPAs to go for short tenure domestic gas. But there is the possibility of ONGC and RIL attempting to replenish the shortfall with imported LNG to honour long term contracts.
8The thinking right now is that new deepwater domestic gas will, in probability, have to hunt for new customers
8In any case there will be a tug-of-war between imported LNG suppliers and domestic gas producers for customers

Some calculations have come up on the economics of LNG when compared to liquid fuels.
8LNG vs. alternative fuels economics up to 2020 is documented.
8Interestingly enough, by this arithmetic, GAIL's US cargoes turn out to have the cheapest landed price.
8Overall, the data shows gas-to-oil economics to be stable for term LNG contracts like those with RasGas, as ex-terminal price (net of taxes) would be similar to FO at $65/bbl Brent price assumed in FY19.
8Due to high Kochi regas tariff, Gorgon LNG contracted to the terminal is more expensive. However, the LNG out of  the terminal allow for positive economics for refineries, fertilizers and industries
8Spot LNG prices are high now but are expected to settle at an average of $8-9/mmbtu (13% slope), which is at par with FO or else winning the battle with liquid fuels will be difficult.
8If supply infrastructure is available, and if there is just the right kind of policy push, gas consumption can gain in what is a highly competitive market in India

A new set of calculations are coming forth on how domestic gas production is going to behave for the next 10 years.
8The output profile from ONGC's KG-DWN-98/2 block and RIL discoveries in KG D-6, R Series and Satellite fields are projected over the next 10 years
8This output however peaks quickly after starting up in 2020-21 before declining from 2023-25 onwards.
8The total domestic output will however come from a host of other fields, primarily those of ONGC and OIL, but will also include others JV and private blocks.
8Juxtaposed against this domestic output is a series of old and new LNG terminals which will be offloading imported gas.
8An estimate of their capacity utilization levels going up the next 10 years is daringly attempted here.

How does natural gas or LNG compete with liquid fuels in terms of price competitiveness?
8A set of calculations seems to show that up to 23 MMTPA of liquid fuels can be replaced, including diesel and petrol
8The substitution can happen at a curve of 13% to the price of crude.
8The potential economic gain has estimated at a $3.7 billion
8Working backwards, what kind of price parity is possible to work out?
8For a better analysis liquid fuel prices are converted to $/mmbtu and it is seen that LNG is significantly cheaper to its liquid fuel equivalents such as LPG, diesel, FO and oil
8For all the men and officers who died in the recent ONGC helicopter crash, nothing beyond what is statutory has been extended to their families.

The gas lobby in India is working furiously with the powers-that-be for wide reforms to push its agenda
Among the proposals are:
8Developed more LNG based urea plants so that imports come down to zero
8Operate gas based power plants at 40-45% PLF
8Target 90,000 MW DG based captive capacity to convert to LNG.
8Replace diesel and kerosene for lighting by gas or LNG
8Replace LPG by PNG in urban areas as natural gas has to compete with subsidized LPG
8Share of gas in transportation can go up if viability gap funding is provided for gas infrastructure.
8An inter-ministerial panel be set up on import substitution by LNG and gas
Comment: These proposals are not going to be all that easy to push through as they tread on too many toes. But some elements of these recommendations, including zero imports of urea, have already been set in motion. Click on Report for more. Details
