About Dataset

Indian Petroleum and Natural Gas Statistics 1998–99 presents a comprehensive statistical overview of India’s petroleum and natural gas industry, combining data for 1996–97 and earlier historical periods with sectoral and state-wise statistics. The Natural Gas section covers state-wise natural gas reserves, production on calendar- and financial-year bases, gross and net production, utilisation on a financial-year basis, and industry-wise offtakes. These tables provide information on the availability, production and utilisation of natural gas across India. The Refining section presents petroleum refining capacity, refinery crude throughput, production of petroleum products, refinery-wise crude runs and total product output, trends in domestic petroleum-product production, and production patterns over historical periods. Consumption and Sales statistics cover trends in petroleum-product sales and consumption, product-wise consumption, oil-company market shares, international and coastal bunkers, state-wise consumption of major petroleum products, per-capita consumption, sector-wise end-use consumption, railway diesel consumption, naphtha offtakes, FO/LSHS offtakes, and fossil-fuel consumption for electricity generation. The Foreign Trade section covers imports and exports of crude oil and petroleum products, product-wise trade, overall and OPEC trade balances, foreign exchange reserves and POL imports as a proportion of national exports. The publication also includes petroleum-industry manpower, prices, price build-up, dealer commissions, excise and customs duties, sales taxes, royalty and oil development cess.

Purpose of Dataset

The purpose of this publication is to provide a consolidated statistical reference for India’s petroleum and natural gas sector, documenting reserves, production, refining, consumption, trade, employment, prices, taxation and related industry activities. It provides historical time-series information as well as state-wise, company-wise, industry-wise and sector-wise statistics. Natural gas data covers reserves, production, utilisation and offtakes, while refining and consumption sections document petroleum-product output and usage patterns. Foreign-trade statistics support assessment of India’s crude oil and petroleum-product trade and its relationship with OPEC countries. The publication supports policymakers, government agencies, petroleum companies, researchers, planners and analysts in sectoral assessment and decision-making.
