5. Research Objectives
Primary objective of this project is to understand the growing need of petroleum
products.
Secondary objective of this is to find the cheapest mode of transportation of
petroleum products between coastal and railway .
Literature review is done through secondary data, and a greater share of inputs
and data was provided by the employees of the HPCL.
ResearchMethodology
6. INDIA’S OIL DEMAND
India’s energy consumption stood at 638Mtoe in 2014–15, a growth
of 7.1% from the 2013–14 levels.
India’s real GDP has been growing by 5-10% per year, up $110
billion in 2014.At 23% of total energy supply, Petroleum is India’s
second largest source, half the market share of coal.
India’s oil demand has risen 300,000 b/d, putting the country on
track to surpass China in incremental growth for 2015.
17. The draft situation became critical in the last three months as Dredging
Corporation of India (DCI), a central government outfit, employed only two to
three dredgers during this period.
This would directly result into shortfall of the required quantity as per the
projected short fall there will be a shortage of 424111 kilo litres and the cost for
the extra shortfall would be Rs. 2332615680 within 10 years.
Lack of proper connectivity, inadequate infrastructure, high capital cost and
unfavourable taxation facility are some of the other major hindrances faced in
coastal shipping.
Hence, Railway would be both economically and the best suited mode for
transportation of large volumes of petroleum over long period of time.
