India is the world’s fourth-largest energy consumer in the world; oil and gas account for 37.3 per cent of total energy consumption. Buoyant economic growth is the main factor driving the country’s energy requirements.
India has 5.6 billion barrels of proven oil reserves, with an average oil production of 0.8 million barrels per day (MPBD). Oil consumption is estimated to expand at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.4 per cent during FY2008-16 to 4 MPBD by 2016. India has 1,330 billion cubic meters (BCM) of gas reserves and produced 47.6 BCM of gas in 2012.
The Government of India has enacted various policies, such as the New Exploration Licensing Policy (NELP) and Coal Bed Methane (CBM) policy, to encourage investments across the industry's value chain. 100 per cent foreign direct investment (FDI) is allowed in the exploration and production (E&P) projects/ companies; and 49 per cent is allowed in refining.
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports have increased significantly; offering huge opportunities for LNG terminal operation, engineering, procurement and construction services.

4. Urea Market Environment
Market size for urea, during the 1Q 2011 was 1.2 million tons, a decline of 14% over the same
period last year (1.4 million tons). Major reason for the decline was shortage of product due to
gas curtailment.
Domestic production estimated at 1.1 million tons was 8% lower as compared to 1.2 million tons
during the same period last year on account of gas curtailment as well as extended winter gas
load shedding.
Average selling price of domestic Urea during
1Q 2011 was Rs. 999/bag (Excluding impact of
Total Benefit to Farmer - Rs. 20bn
GST), while average landed cost of imported

7. Business Highlights
Urea:
Revenue from urea sales was Rs. 4.5 billion vs. Rs. 3.8 billion last year – an increase of 18%
- Increase in revenue is attributable to price increase because of gas curtailment and load management
Due to gas curtailment urea production was 232kT vs. 257kT achieved in 1Q2010 – a decrease of 10%
As a result of lower industry in 1Q 2011, Engro’s urea market share improved to 21% from 18% last year
PAT from urea was Rs. 1,245 million vs. Rs. 725 million in 1Q2010 – impact of price increase due to
load management
Zarkhez
Revenue from Zarkhez was Rs. 1,325 million vs. Rs. 780 million last year – due to higher raw material
prices
Against production of 28kT (26kT in 1Q10) sales were 29 kT vs. 21 kT during the same period last
year.
⁻ Increase is attributable to focused marketing of the product as well as demand substitution due
to rising phosphate prices(shortage of phosphates in face of rising demand).
PAT was Rs. 144mn vs. Rs. 75mn earned in 1Q2010 – mainly due to inventory gains and higher
volumes
Security Analyst Briefing
YTD March - 2011
8. Business Highlights – cont.
Purchased Products (Phosphates)
Revenue from purchased products was Rs. 3 billion as compared to Rs. 3.6 billion last
year primarily due to lower volumes
Engro imported 49kT (100% import share) of Phosphates during 1Q 2011 vs. 120 kT in 1Q,
2010
Phosphates sales were 49 kT in 1Q 2011 (27% market share) vs. 78 kT in 1Q, 2010
PAT was Rs. 210 million as compared to Rs. 923 million earned in 1Q, 2010 - due to
windfall trading gains in 2010
Outlook
Gas supply scenario remains volatile with fertilizer plants on Sui networks subjected to
unprecedented gas load shedding in winter months.
Shortfall of 700 kT is expected in Urea supply – Cost to GoP, in form of subsidy, will be
~Rs 10 billion
Security Analyst Briefing
YTD March - 2011
9. Fertilizer Expansion Project
en en 1.3
Due to the extended outage and intermittent gas supply, commissioning activity at the
new fertilizer plant was hampered and delayed
Engro has filed a case, in the Honorable High Court of Sindh, against the suspension of
gas supply
Court has restrained SNGPL from disconnecting the current supply of 80 MMSCFD of gas
and directed that efforts to be made to provide the maximum amount of gas (100
MMSCFD) as committed
The new plant is expected to achieve commercial production in 2nd quarter, 2011.
