Indian Oil Corporation Ltd
Chairman Speech
Dear IndianOil Investors,
My heartiest greetings to you on my personal behalf and on behalf of IndianOilPeople.
It is my pleasant duty once again to present to you the Integrated Annual Report of
your Company for the financial year 2018-19, focussing on the performance highlights of
the year and the high-growth agenda lined up for the future.
You will notice that, like last year, this year too we have followed the Integrated
Reporting format focussing on the Company’s six key capitals -- Financial Capital,
Manufactured Capital, Human Capital, Intellectual Capital, Social & Relationship
Capital and Natural Capital.
Without an iota of doubt, IndianOil’s strength as a successful enterprise stems
from its rich human capital. With a proud legacy of fuelling the growth of all segments of
the economy for the past six decades, the 33,000-strong team of lOCians is gearing to play
a leadership role in these exciting times as a new India rises on the global arena.
IndianOil People take pride in being future-ready by continuously upgrading their skills
and capabilities.
Your Company has kept its promises to the nation since inception, working for
self-sufficiency and security in energy and related areas. Surmounting many challenges, it
achieved sustained growth in sync with the nation to become India’s leading Maharatna
PSU and one of the largest commercial undertakings.
As the fastest growing economy in the world, India requires access to abundant energy,
delivered in new and affordable ways. IndianOil is fully geared for the challenge. Over
50,000 customer touch points of your Company spread across every nook and corner of the
nation provide energy solutions to a billion-plus customers to keep India on the move. And
we are further expanding our refining capacity, supply & distribution channels and
marketing network in line with the growing domestic demand.
Today, as a low-carbon future beckons on the horizon, IndianOil is engaged in building
a future full of clean and green energy. We are leading the industry in an unprecedented
quantum leap from BS-IV fuels to a world-standard BS-VI compliant regime by April 2020. In
line with global trends, we are investing in a big way in India’s emerging natural
gas economy with new products and offerings for diverse customer groups. We are deeply
committed to the sustainability principle and are progressively integrating alternative
energy and renewables in our operations as well as in our expanding bouquet of offerings.
Global and Indian economic scenario
• Global economic growth slowed down to 3.6% in 2018, from 3.8% in 2017
• Growth in emerging economies also decelerated to 4.5% in 2018, from 4.8% in 2017
• Economic deceleration due to rising trade protectionism, US-China trade
tensions, etc.
• Indian economy grew by 6.8% in 2018, fastest growing large economy
• Growth propelled by private spending, industry, manufacturing and capital
formation
• Retail inflation (CPI) slowed down to 3.41%, lowest in last seven years
The fount of your Company’s future-readiness is its world-class R&D Centre,
which gives shape to products and technologies of the future. Its rich repository of
intellectual capital has now crossed a major milestone of over a thousand patents.
INDUSTRY SCENARIO
The hydrocarbons sector has contributed enormously to global economic progress over the
last century. Today, however, it is facing competition from new and emerging energy
options and technologies. The 21st century is definitely going to witness
economies based on clean fuels, and low-carbon options will get progressively entrenched
in the energy mix, with policy backing. It is time for the oil & gas corporates to
once again reinvent themselves and continue to play a lead role, especially in those parts
of the world like India where primary energy consumption continues to register a dramatic
rise.
The need of the hour is to integrate new technologies like digitalisation, Artificial
Intelligence, Internet of Things, etc., in all segments of the industry, together with
innovative process technologies, to provide efficient, clean and green energy solutions
for all customer segments and businesses to ensure that nation’s economic growth is
not hampered in any way.
The domestic refining sector is attempting a very ambitious project of leap-frogging
from BS-IV to BS-VI fuels regime. Indian refiners are on track to usher in the cleanest
automotive fuels across the country from April 2020. In fact, IndianOil refineries have
completed over 90% of the BS-VI projects and should be ready to supply the upgraded fuels
well within the stipulated timeline. The success of this ambitious initiative will further
enhance India’s credentials as a world-class refining hub in Asia, with the fourth
largest refining capacity (249.4 MMTPA) in the world.
The country has robust supply & distribution channels, a 30,000-km network of oil
& gas pipelines, about 24,000 LPG distributors, and over 64,600 fuel stations, with
another 55,000 in the offing.

12. Robotic Scavenging Machine (Bandicoot) to Kumbakonam Municipal Corporation, Tamil
Nadu
As per the data provided by National Commission for Safai Karamacharis (NCSK), at least
one Indian worker has died while cleaning sewers or septic tanks every five days since the
beginning of 2017 and is considered one of country's deadliest jobs and most insidious
form of caste discrimination. To alleviate this problem, IndianOil has provided Robotic
Scavenging Machine (named Bandicoot) to Kumbakonam Municipal Corporation, Tamil Nadu.
Bandicoot has a control unit/user interface and a robotic spiderlike device at the bottom
with four limbs, which is lowered into the manholes for undertaking cleaning operations.
It is equipped with seven cameras and many sensors. The limbs scoop/collect the silt from
different angles inside the manhole and heap the dirt at one place, which is then lifted
up using ropes & buckets. Bandicoot works with precision, takes less time, requires
only one/ two persons to operate and saves many man-hours.
