Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell (PPAC)
The PPAC is the energy data hub of India, functioning under the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas. It collects, analyses, and publishes data on petroleum product production, imports, exports, consumption, and prices. The PPAC was historically reliant on voluntary or periodic reporting from industry; the new order mandates compulsory and timely submission.
- PPAC publishes the Indian Petroleum and Natural Gas Statistics (annual) and monthly consumption reports.
- It advises the government on petroleum pricing, supply-demand balancing, and subsidy allocations.
- The shift from periodic to real-time reporting significantly enhances PPAC's ability to serve as an early warning system for supply disruptions.
- Both public sector undertakings (ONGC, IOC, HPCL, BPCL) and private sector refiners and importers (Reliance Industries, Nayara Energy) will be covered.
