Govt seeks ONGC equity infusion for HPCL
In news from the energy sector, India plans to ask state-run Oil and Natural Gas Corp to consider launching a rights issue to help fund green projects at refining arm Hindustan Petroleum Corp, an exercise that could raise about US$ 1.9 billion (bn).
The comments come after India's finance minister announced a plan this year to provide equity of Rs 300 bn to help the big state oil refiners move towards cleaner energy.
The government is weighing options for HPCL, including directly providing loans at preferential rates.
The oil ministry is awaiting a response from the finance ministry on the plan for ONGC to launch a rights issue.
Based on rights issues previously announced by two other state refiners, an ONGC issue could amount to about Rs 155 bn.
In 2018, New Delhi sold its entire stake of 51.1% in HPCL to ONGC, making the firm a subsidiary of India's top energy explorer.
The government holds a stake of 58.93% in ONGC.
Initially, the government had planned to infuse funds into HPCL by allocation of preferential shares, but that risked pushing ONGC's stake below 50% and ending the government's indirect control of HPCL.
ONGC is optimistic about a recovery in its oil production going forward and would be able to reverse production constraints. For more, check out Rising Crude Oil Prices Drive OMC Stocks and ONGC. Is the Rally Sustainable?
