New Delhi, Mar 25 () With the unprecedented nationwide lockdown shutting down factories, ONGC has been forced to cut natural gas production by up to one-tenth as customers refused to take supplies because of business disruption.Oil and Natural Gas Corp (ONGC), which produced 64.5 million standard cubic meters of gas per day till earlier this week, has reduced the flow to 59.8 mmscmd on Wednesday, and will further cut by another 3 mmscmd on Thursday, sources aware of the development said.The company has received requests from customers for reduction in gas supplies of around 7.7 mmscmd.Besides this, another 4-5 mmscmd supply reduction requests have been lodged with the gas transporter GAIL.The sources said these customers are largely small companies whose business has been completely shut because of the lockdown, and city gas distributors who have seen volumes vanish after CNG vehicles went off-road.In the most far-reaching measure undertaken by any government to check the spread of coronavirus pandemic, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday evening announced a three-week-long nationwide lockdown. The lockdown meant offices and factories, barring those involved in essential supplies business, are shut and people asked to stay at home.So far, 562 persons are reported to have infected with the virus and as many as 9 killed.Some states like the national capital Delhi had last week declared lockdown and now this has been extended nationwide.While factories across sectors have been shut down following the lockdowns, the ones seeking stoppage or reduction in gas intake are mostly in the Gujarat region.Out of the 7.7 mmscmd gas reduction request received by ONGC, 6 mmscmd has come from the Hazira region, the sources said, adding the remaining reduction was sought by factories in Andhra Pradesh and adjoining areas.Besides, GAIL has been piled with requests for cut in supplies for another 4-5 mmscmd along its Hazira-Vijaipur-Jagdishpur pipeline.It is the principal transporter of natural gas in India and also ships gas produced by ONGC.GAIL would accommodate 4-5 mmscmd of reduction by cutting the use of imported liquefied natural gas (LNG) and fuel sourced from fields other than of ONGC, they said.Gas is used as a fuel in a variety of industries - from glass to fertilizer plants. Large factories such as fertilizer plants continue to use gas as they have been classified in essential commodities.The demand for gas has also been hit by all vehicles, barring ones used by law enforcement agencies and that used in maintaining essential supplies, going off-road. This meant vehicles run on compressed natural gas (CNG) too have gone off-road in cities ranging from Delhi to Mumbai to Ahmedabad.Lesser CNG vehicles meant lesser need of gas and so city gas distributors too have sought a reduction in the volumes they used to take from GAIL/ONGC, the sources said.Indraprastha Gas Ltd, the company that retails CNG to automobiles and piped cooking gas to households in the national capital and adjoining cities, has already shut two-third of its CNG dispensing pumps in view of the demand constraints.The sources said more factories and businesses are likely to be impacted by the shutdown in the coming days.

ONGC gas output drops by one-tenth as shut factories refuse supplies

New Delhi, Oil sector public sector undertakings (PSUs) may have to bear a <keyword id="9705803" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="larger-share">larger share</keyword> of <keyword id="10488841" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="additional-dividend-payment">additional dividend payment</keyword> to the government this year with almost all companies falling behind on their capex plan for the current fiscal. As of November, the capex of PSU oil companies put together stands at ₹46,303 crore, less than 50% of the annual target of ₹98,522 crore. The government has asked companies to complete at least 75% of capex till the end of December quarter. But this looks highly unlikely now pushing the case for higher dividend payout. In meetings with PSUs, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had stressed on the need for PSUs to step up <keyword id="6355120" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="investment">investment</keyword> during the time of the pandemic to boost overall sentiments and kickstart investment climate in the country. She had specifically urged companies to complete at least 75% of capex target by December-end and more than 100% by March. "It is a double whammy for PSUs now. They have to cough up more either through investments or through payment of additional dividends. It should also be seen that the companies are finding it difficult to meet capex targets given financial and project implementation constraints. Covid has severely dented demand and slowed project implementation. Consequently, there is already a strain on their resources that would get heightened as additional dividend would have to be paid," said a top official of a PSU, asking not to be named. While almost all PSUs are facing delays and difficulties in stepping up the gas and increasing investments, the situation among companies in the oil and gas sector looks worse. Slow demand conditions in early part of the year resulted in slowing of several capex plans. Though the situation has improved from November onwards, still its a long way to go for normalcy to return in the sector. For the government, oil sector PSUs are also set to make big inventory gains due to firming up of crude prices, and hence they are being looked at for higher interim dividend or special dividend and a few may also be considered for share buyback depending on market conditions. Among the oil and gas PSUs, the worse performer in terms of capex spend is the country's largest oil and gas explorer ONGC and largest public sector refiner <keyword id="6356834" type="DOMAIN" weightage="20" keywordseo="indian-oil-corporation">Indian Oil Corporation</keyword>. According to oil ministry's <keyword id="819806" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Petroleum-Planning-and-Analysis">Petroleum Planning and Analysis</keyword> Cell (PPAC), while ONGC had completed just ₹14,959 crore worth of capex upto November out of FY21 investment target of ₹32,502 crore, IOC's capex upto November is ₹12,104 crore against annual target of ₹26,233 crore. Similarly, HPCL has completed capex of ₹5,658 crore (upto November) against target of ₹11,500 crore; Gail India - ₹2,614 crore against annual target of ₹5,412 crore; Oil India - ₹2,136 crore vs ₹3,877 crore target; MRPL - ₹631 crore vs ₹1,150 crore, OVL - ₹3,765 crore vs ₹7,235 crore. Among the worst performer on capex is privatisation-bound <keyword id="155363" type="DOMAIN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Bharat-Petroleum-Corporation-Ltd">Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd</keyword> (BPCL) which has spent just ₹3,716 crore against target of ₹9,000 crore. Officials sources said that PSUs with stock prices higher than the book value and who have sufficient cash funds may also be asked to shell higher dividend in FY21. A call will be taken after the third quarter results of companies are declared late January or early February next year. With the central government being the largest shareholders in PSUs, higher dividend would largely help it to fill its coffers at a time when revenue is constrained due to a overall fall in economic activity during the pandemic while expenditure has risen sharply. Dividend from non-financial PSUs have been budgeted at ₹65,747 crore in FY21. Any increase in this will give a boost to non-tax revenue of the government and help its bridge the rising fiscal deficit that as per initial estimate is now pegged close to 8% of GDP. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and her predecessors, including the late Arun Jaitley and P. Chidambaram, had maintained the policy of advising non-financial state-owned companies that if they are not utilising their cash reserves for capex needs, they should give it to the Centre through dividends or share buybacks. As per the guidelines issued by disinvestment department DIPAM, every CPSE is required to pay a minimum annual dividend of 30% of PAT or 5% of the net-worth, whichever is higher. Apart from oil sector, several PSUs in power and mining space have completed just about 40% annual capex by November due to constrained business environment.
