Analyzing PSU’s Performance: A Case from Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas of India

Abstract EN

The high economic growth in the past few years and increasing industrialization coupled with a burgeoning population have created a lot of concern for India’s energy scenario.

India’s crude oil production has not shown significant growth in the last 10 or more years whereas its refining capacity has grown by more than 20% over the last 5 years.

Oil consumption is growing at approximately 4.1% per year and natural gas consumption is growing at 68% per year.

Therefore, evaluation performances and pushing energy companies to improve become important issues.

The purpose of this research is of evaluation the performance of Indian energy industry under multiple different inputs and outputs criteria.

The data envelopment analysis (DEA) and grey theory are used to conduct this study.

There are total 14 public sector undertakings (PSUs) under this industry and no any private company.

However, only 10 of them are mature enough to be published in India stock markets.

Therefore, the realistic data of all 10 companies are used for this evaluation.

The results demonstrate that Gas Authority of India Limited (GAIL), Chennai Petroleum Corporation Limited (CPCL), and Oil India Limited (OIL) are the top 3 of ranking influences.

This integrated numerical study gives a better “past-present-future” insights into evaluation performance in India energy industry.
