02 Sept 2010;business-standard.com:Ajay Modi:New Delhi: One year into its production, Cairn India’s Mangala field, India’s largest onshore one, is estimated to have saved nearly a billion dollars (Rs 5,000 crore) in foreign exchange. The field completed its first year of operation on Monday, the event overshadowed by Edinburgh-based promoter Cairn Energy deciding to sell a controlling stake in Cairn India to Vedanta Resources. According to a Goldman Sachs report, the Mangala production is likely to bring down India’s oil import bill by $6.8 billion at peak production of 175,000 barrels, likely to be achieved by 2011-12. The peak production will cut India’s crude import dependence by 20 per cent at present consumption level. While the current saving in foreign exchange is just over one per cent of India’s annual crude oil import bill of $79.5 billion (2009-10), future savings will be higher. The company is targeting to expand peak production from the field in Barmer district of Rajasthan to 240,000 barrels (a barrel is 157.5 litres) a day from 125,000 barrels per day now. According to Cairn India’s website, the block is estimated to hold reserves of 6.5 billion barrels of energy equivalent. Cairn India started production from Barmer on August 29, 2009. Cairn India is the operator of the Rajasthan block, with a 70 per cent participating interest. Its joint venture partner, the government’s Oil and Natural Gas Corporation, has a 30 per cent participating interest. In the past year, the Rajasthan field contributed 12.3 million barrels of crude oil, processed in various refineries in the country. India’s crude oil import was 159.25 million tonnes in 2009-10, according to the Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell. Crude oil production, stagnating at 600,000-650,000 barrels per day in recent years, has jumped to 775,000 barrels due to production from Rajasthan. Mangala was the largest oil discovery (in 2004) in India since 1985. Discoveries followed at the Bhagyam and Aishwarya fields, also in Barmer. To process the output and produce oil and associated gas, Cairn is setting up the Mangala Processing Terminal (MPT). MPT will have four crude oil processing trains, together designed to handle a total capacity of 205,000 barrels of oil per day.
Tata Motors to roll out entry-level JLR models to drive up volumes
02 Sept 2010;economictimes.indiatimes.com:MUMBAI: Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), the luxury car brands owned by Tata Motors, will launch a slew of entry-level cars including a station wagon and a roadster to boost volumes across markets. The operations of JLR, which Tata Motors bought in 2008 from Ford Motor for $2.3 billion, have been profitable over the past two quarters, the company’s chairman said at its annual general meeting. “JLR’s performance has vindicated my confidence,” said chairman Ratan Tata at the company’s 65th annual general meeting. Tata Motors is looking at integrating platforms with JLR to bring in economies of scale. Tata Motors is also ramping up commercial vehicle capacity at its Dharwad plant, especially for the Ace, a small truck, which is used as a passenger carrier, and bus models to meet the growing demand in the recent months. The auto maker plans to invest close to `2,880 crore for developing new products for the next three years. Two years after the launch of the Nano — the cheapest car in the world — Tata Motors plans to launch more variants in the Indian markets which will include, the electric, diesel, a larger engined model and also models aimed at the UK and US markets. Currently the company has sold close to 50,000 Nanos in the Indian market. Globally, Tata Motors is the 19th largest auto company by sales and the 15th largest commercial vehicle company, said Mr Tata. The company is stepping up its focus on international markets such as Africa, Russia, China and the Middle East for growth, Mr Tata said. “We hope to increase market share in these economies and widen the passenger car and the commercial vehicles range,” he said. Tata Motors also intends to increase the number of executive directors on the board. This is in line with the arrangement at other companies in the Tata fold where three or four functional heads, who run strategic business units, have positions on the board. At present, the Tata Motors board comprises four non-executive directors, seven independent directors and two executive directors. R Gopalakrishnan, a director of Tata Sons, the group’s holding company, has stepped down as a director of Tata Motors The maker of Nano cars in March had appointed Carl-Peter Forster, a General Motors veteran, as its CEO. His appointment was ratified by shareholders on Wednesday.

Cairn deal: ONGC asserts its right of first refusal
01 Sept 2010;business-standard.com:New Delhi: Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) isn’t going to just stand aside on the Cairn-Vedanta sale deal. “We have a right of first refusal in case of some of the blocks, including Barmer, through our joint operating agreement,” R S Sharma, chairman and managing director, ONGC, told Business Standard. In a recent communication, ONGC also asked Cairn Energy Plc to provide full details of the agreements and other arrangements signed with Cairn Energy Plc and its affiliates. ONGC has said the Cairn-Vedanta deal cannot go through without its consent. The proposed deal, which could see the Vedanta group spending up to $9.6 billion to acquire 51-60 per cent in Cairn India (a subsidiary of Cairn Energy) through group companies Sesa Goa and Vedanta Resources, has not gone down well with ONGC. It is a partner with Cairn India in all its three producing blocks, besides five other blocks. Cairn India is the operator of the Barmer block in Rajasthan. with a 70 per cent participating interest. ONGC, its joint venture (JV) partner, has 30 per cent participating interest. ONGC pays the entire royalty on the block and had been petitioning the government to reimburse it 70 per cent of the royalty amount that it should not be paying. Though ONGC had paid Rs 302 crore till June 2010, the amount is expected to rise significantly over the production life of the block. When asked whether ONGC had raised the issue again with the government, Sharma did not comment. Average crude oil production from Barmer is 120,000 barrels per day. Cairn India is also the operator of the Ravva oil and gas field and Cambay Basin (CB/OS-2), which produce 37,043 and 13,527 barrels of oil equivalent daily. Informing the Bombay Stock Exchange and the National Stock Exchange, ONGC company secretary N K Sinha said, “ONGC has examined the relevant agreement signed by Cairn Energy Plc and its affiliates with the government of India and inter se with ONGC as one of the participating company(ies) in the various oil blocks/fields and other related documents.”
