Except with reference to Q3 FY 10, OPT is down by huge percentage from all preceding quarters.

Some Reasons for this under performance are  as below :

In the first 9 months of current year -

Ø  The Market sales was 21.51 MMT against 20.58 MMT in previous year same 9 month period.
Ø  The average gross refining margin is US $3.63 against US $2.7 per barrel in corresponding period of last Year.
Ø  Under-recoveries compensated is higher at Rs.829922 lakhs (LY :Rs.367245 lakhs).
Ø  Tax Expense includes Rs.10500 lakhs provision for previous years.
Ø  Depreciation includes Rs.41520 lakhs (Rs.27155 lakhs LY) on account of LPG cylinders depreciated at 100%.
Ø  Other Expenditure includes Rs.5751 lakhs towards losses on Fgn Exchange fluctuations – against Gains of Rs.36193 lakhs in last year same period
