  • India is the third-largest importer of crude oil, importing over 85 percent of the petroleum it processes. Currently in India, the Covid-19 outbreak and the ongoing war have increased the price of oil and gas, and the government is concerned about the forthcoming consequences. Furthermore, recent research by the Council for Energy, Environment, and Water (CEEW) identified several daunting obstacles to India's transition from a fossil fuel based economy to one based on renewable energy. To begin, there is the technological, administrative, and regulatory capability necessary to handle this transformative change. Then there is the big financial limitation, as the change will need large scale, high risk, long term investments. Also, there is little budgetary flexibility for large scale governmental investment in renewable energy, while private sector investment in renewable energy is only getting started. To address all of these limitations and to herald the next great revolution in the Indian biodiesel industry, Dr. Capt Bipin Arya founded PureFuel Energy.

And, with increased consumption of oil, as the economy grows, so does the demand for oil. Undoubtedly, known to all COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected the market. But, recently post COVID, an additional factor that has hit hard to this growing demand, disrupting the demand has been the stoking of supplies due to geopolitical tensions between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East.

    According to the reports, the Indian Oil and Gas market is expected to register a CAGR of more than three percent during the forecast period 2022-2027. To encash this opportunity there are many midstream companies helping along, the entire curating and refining processes.
