Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), the country’s biggest refining and oil marketing company, has brought down its crude inventory from 6.5 million tonnes about a month before to 5.7 mt. It is working to reduce this to 5.4 mt.
R K Ghosh, director (refineries) at IOC, said: “The effort has reduced the company’s working capital requirement and lowered the scope of a forex loss in case crude oil moves downwards." IOC processes around 160,000 tonnes of crude oil daily at its 10 refineries put together. A stock of 5.7 mt is sufficient to cater to 35 days’ requirement.
