 ABSTRACT

Indian economy has been facing the two major issues therefore trade
imbalances and persisting inflation. Oil constitutes one-third of the country
total imports and is consider to have wide ranging impact on its economy. this
paper empirically examines how petrol price fluctuations impact India
economy through various channels, viz. real sector, monetary policy, external
trade, exchange rate and investment. The results of cyclical correlation
analysis suggest that petrol is pro-cyclical to output, price level, stock market,
gold, intrest rate and foreign exchange reserves, while it is counter cyclical to
money supply, net exports and exchange rate. Also, it is found that petrol
granger-causes output, general price level and net exports the study
employees VAR analysis of examines variance decomposition to capture the
linear inter dependencies among the variables.

 CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
The petroleum industry, also known as the oil industry or the oil patch, includes the global
processes of exploration, extraction, refining, transportation (often by oil tankers and pipelines),
and marketing of petroleum products. The largest volume products of the industry are fuel oil
and gasoline (petrol). Petroleum is also the raw material for many chemical products, including
pharmaceuticals, solvents, fertilizers, pesticides, synthetic fragrances, and plastics. The industry
is usually divided into three major components: upstream, midstream, and downstream.
Upstream regards exploration and extraction of crude oil, midstream encompasses transportation
and storage of crude, and downstream concerns refining crude oil into various end products.

Petroleum is vital to many industries and is necessary for the maintenance of industrial
civilization in its current configuration, making it a critical concern for many nations. Oil
accounts for a large percentage of the world’s energy consumption, ranging from a low for
Europe and Asia, to a high of the Middle East.

Other geographic regions' consumption patterns are as follows: South and Central America
Africa and North America. The world consumes 36 billion barrels of oil per year, with developed
nations being the largest consumers. The United States consumed of the oil produced in The
production, distribution, refining, and retailing of petroleum taken as a whole represents the
world's largest industry in terms of dollar value.

Governments such as the United States government provide a heavy public subsidy to petroleum
companies, with major tax breaks at virtually every stage of oil exploration and extraction,
including the costs of oil field leases and drilling equipment.

In recent years, enhanced oil recovery techniques — most notably multi-stage drilling and
hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") — have moved to the forefront of the industry as this new
technology plays a crucial and controversial role in new methods of oil extraction.

Petroleum is a naturally occurring liquid found in rock formations. It consists of a complex

mixture of hydrocarbons of various molecular weights, plus other organic compounds. It is
generally accepted that oil is formed mostly from the carbon rich remains of ancient plankton

1
after exposure to heat and pressure in Earth's crust over hundreds of millions of years. Over time,
the decayed residue was covered by layers of mud and silt, sinking further down into Earth’s
crust and preserved there between hot and pressured layers, gradually transforming into oil
reservoirs.

Petroleum in an unrefined state has been utilized by humans for over 5000 years. Oil in general
has been used since early human history to keep fires ablaze and in warfare.
Its importance to the world economy however, evolved slowly, with whale oil being used for
lighting in the 19th century and wood and coal used for heating and cooking well into the 20th
century. Even though the Industrial Revolution generated an increasing need for energy, this was
initially met mainly by coal, and from other sources including whale oil. However, when it was
discovered that kerosene could be extracted from crude oil and used as a lighting and heating
fuel, the demand for petroleum increased greatly, and by the early twentieth century had become
the most valuable commodity traded on world markets.

An increase in the price of crude oil means that would increase the cost of producing goods. This
price rise would finally be passed on to consumers resulting in inflation. Experts believe that an

increase of $10/barrel in crude oil prices could raise inflation by 10 basis points

Petroleum is a naturally occurring liquid found beneath the earth's surface that can be refined into
fuel. Petroleum is a fossil fuel, meaning that it has been created by the decomposition of organic

matter over millions of year

Basic supply and demand theory states that the more a product is produced, the more cheaply it
should sell, all things being equal. It's a symbiotic dance. The reason more of a good was
produced in the first place is because it became more economically efficient (or no less
economically efficient) to do so. If someone were to invent a well stimulation technique that
could double an oil field's output for only a small incremental cost, then with demand staying
static, prices should fall.

Actually, there have been periods of time when supply has increased. Oil production in North
America was at an all-time zenith in 2019, with fields in North Dakota and Alberta as fruitful as
ever Since the internal combustion engine still predominates on our roads, and demand hasn’t
kept up with supply, wouldn't you expect that gas was selling for nickels a gallon at that time?

This is where theory pushes up against practice. Production was high, but distribution and
refinement were not able to keep up with it. The United States has built an average of one
refinery per decade (construction has slowed to a trickle since the 1970s). There's actually a net
loss: the United States has two fewer refineries than it did in 2009 refineries in the country have
more capacity than any other country's capacity by a large margin. The reason we're not awash in
cheap oil is that those refineries operate at 90% of capacity. Ask a refiner, and they’ll tell you
that excess capacity is there to meet future demand.

Need of the study:
➢ Transportation: To date, petroleum is the basic source of energy used in
transportation. Petroleum accounts for two-thirds of the total transportation fuel globally.
Gasoline/petrol, diesel, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), jet fuel, and marine fuel are the
major transportation fuels obtained from petroleum. Cars, motorcycles, light trucks,
buses, trains, boats and ships use gasoline or diesel. Jet airplanes and some types of
helicopters often use kerosene.

➢ Power Generation: A thermal power plant uses petroleum for electricity generation.
Although coal is the major source of electricity generation, petroleum also accounts for
significant power generation that eventually results in serious environmental pollution.
Apart from these two uses of petroleum, the fuel has other industrial applications too.

These are:
➢ Lubricants: Almost all industries use lubricants for the proper functioning of
machinery.
Lubricants reduce friction in vehicles and industrial machines. However, they are even
used in cooking, bio-applications on humans, ultrasound and medical examinations.

➢ Pharmaceuticals: Certain by-products like mineral oil and petrolatum are used in the
manufacture of topical medicines. The complex organic molecules used in
pharmaceuticals are linked to simple organic molecules of petroleum byproducts.

➢ Agriculture: Ammonia, which is a source of nitrogen in agricultural fertilizers, is

manufactured from petroleum using Haber’s process. Moreover, a lot of pesticides are
produced from petroleum. Machinery for ploughing etc also works on petroleum.

4
Chemical Industry:

The raw materials of many chemical companies are by-products of a petroleum refinery.
Chemical fertilizers, synthetic fibres, insecticides, synthetic rubber, nylon, plastics, pesticides,
perfumes, dyes, paints etc are the significant products produced using the major by-products like
naphtha, grease, petroleum jelly, wax, butadiene etc.

5
Scope of the study:

• The sharp rising fuel prices has already started impacting citizens.
• Prices of many commodities are expected to go up due to rising fuel costs.
• The rising fuel prices in India will also have a effect on businesses spread .
• Therefore, the biggest reason behind higher fuel prices in the country is the
high rate of central and state taxes.

6
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

• To study the impact of the higher oil prices on the Indian economy.
• To understand the reasons for price rise in petroleum in India.
• To study the impact on general public due to price hike in petroleum.
• To find a better and relevant solution for this problem.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Research methodology is the specific procedures or techniques used to identify,

select, process, and analyse information about a topic. In a research paper, the
methodology section allows the reader to critically evaluate a study's overall
validity and reliability
Source of Data:
Primary data which is obtained first-hand. This means that the researcher conducts the
research themselves or commissions the data to be collected on their behalf. Primary research
means going directly to the source, rather than relying on pre-existing data samples

Secondary data research or desk research is a research method that involves using already
existing data. Existing data is summarized and collated to increase the overall effectiveness of
research. Secondary research includes research material published in research reports and similar
documents.
Sample size : 50 respondents

SAMPLE DESIGN: In statistics survey sampling describes the process of selecting a sample
to conduct a survey

Here sampling means people and the books from data

Description of Data: On impact of increase in petroleum prices on customers.

8
Limitations of the study:
 Combustion contributes dangerous gasses to the environment
 The biggest limitation is the constraints.
 The refinement process of petroleum can be toxic
 Petroleum can be a trigger for acid rain
 Petroleum transportation isn’t it 100% safe.

 Respondents’ behaviour is not appropriate sometimes during survey

 CHAPTER 2

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
Theoretical and empirical applications of petroleum production function
framework for analysis of the Phenomenon of Plenty

The current study examines how analysis of the Phenomenon of Plenty, paradox of economic
underperformance of resource-rich nations, could benefit from theoretical and empirical
application of suggested petroleum production function framework, basing on sample
oilabundant countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States, in particular Russia,
Azerbaijan, and Kazakhstan. Proposed approach displays capacity of oil-economy production
function to shed light on larger scope of theoretical issues. Empirical testing of suggested
theoretical framework exhibited ability of proxied components of devised production function,
capturing main metrics of the Phenomenon of Plenty and additionally factoring in corruption, to
exert a strong impact on the majority of twelve principal macroeconomic indicators monitored by
CIS supra-national institutions: with most pronounced influence on gross domestic product,
industrial production, capital investments, and export to CIS countries.

Introduction
Petroleum abundant economies suffering from negative repercussions of the Phenomenon of
Plenty, more commonly referred to as the Dutch Disease, require elaboration of refined
theoretical and empirical analysis techniques. Currently widespread and applied all-over-the
place ‘per effects’ approach relies on essential components of the Phenomenon of Plenty
represented by effects resulting in deindustrialization and deferrization of national economies.
However, economic analysis could also benefit by application of the toolset of consideration of
oil economies via production function’s settings, accounting for petroleum as a principal feature
differentiating oil-rich nations, and capital as core issue of our sample countries undergoing
financial liberalization. Validity of the theoretical framework of the Petroleum Production
Function for examination of hydrocarbon-intensive states is most appropriately tested by
applying this framework for empirical study in countries exposed to the Phenomenon of Plenty
across Eurasia, i.e. nations of the Commonwealth of Independent States, in particular Russia,
Azerbaijan, and Kazakhstan.

Section A : Theoretical capacities of petroleum

Production function framework

Literature background Doctrine economics experienced paramount developments and underwent

remarkable overall transition from utility function of early-classical XVIII century economics
founding on Adam Smith’s ‘An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations’
1776 with already grouped set of production factors and classical beginning XIX century David
Ricardo’s landowners’ production function to contemporary widely used C-D form of utility
function. Turning time took place at the edge of and centuries due to a profuse flow of pioneering
scientific findings on composition of production function, coming predominantly from
pathbreaking works of Swedish economist Knut Wicksell in 1893, British classics’ scientist
Philip Wick steed in 1894, and notably US researchers - mathematician Charles Cobb and
economist Paul Douglas in 1928.

11
 MOUNTAIN OF 2-INPUT PRODUCTION

Dramatic evolution of classical economics’ agricultural production function of variable labor and
fixed land in form was to successful mathematical testing of three factor economy model with
labor capital and land/terrain by Wick steed who demonstrated factor shares’ adding-up to/
exhausting total output, so corroborating John Clark’s tentative findings on Marginal
Productivity Theory of Distribution (MPTD), under condition that production function is linearly
homogeneous making all factors be rewarded with marginal products and consequently leading
sum of income shares to be equal to aggregate output . Land-marking investigations of Wicksell
also shed more light on production function via his research on theory of marginal productivity
and working-out of a clear-cut mode of exhibiting, as being asserted by many to be first in doing
so, of a principle ‘payments to production factors correspond to their marginal productivity’ and
modelling mechanics applying a stationary state framework - ‘wine production function’ with
removal of time from his original equation along with this, normative implications of MPTD.

12
Essential elements
Laid out just above 3-input Phenomenon of Plenty C-D type aggregate macroeconomic
production function is comprised by the variables and constants as follows monetary value of
aggregate output, i.e. produced goods and rendered services, of a national economy Lis amount
of labor force input in man-hours/number of FTE staff contributed/worked within a year
monetary value of a volume of capital stock (plant, machinery, equipment and vehicles) input in
local/foreign currency, a size of utilized energy minerals (i.e. petrochemicals) / natural resource
input, Ais a total-factor productivity (TFP) embracing output change determinants not included
in 3 main inputs; TFP is narrowed down here to the index of technological efficiency - which is a
level of technology or state of the art of production in economy (Hicks neutral). Domain of this
C-D function is determined in a positive 3-dimensional space by a set of numbers which lie to
the right from zero point since labour, capital, and energy minerals cannot have negative values.
Applied superscripts mean output elasticity α- Alpha from change in labour,β- Beta from change
in capital, and- Gamma from change in energy. Subscripts Booming sector Tradable
sector, )Nonreadable sector. Existing technological innovation is considered as neutral in a sense
of John Hicks’s “The Theory of Wages” (Hicks 1963), therefore congruently in its presence
while a fixed capital to labour ratio is maintained the respective ratio to each other of marginal
products (MP) for both of these production factors remain unchanged, in contrast to Roy
Harrod’s neutral leading MP and Robert Solow’s neutral A leading MP Extension is also
stipulated here for a third production factor Standing for natural resource determinant of
aggregate national output. Hence, all 3 factors of production under condition of their constant
proportion keep the same ratios of their marginal products, whereas technology Ais the sole
determinant of output which is changed under Hicks neutrality settings. Attribution of elasticity

changes of production factors and hence displaying responsiveness of national output

output due to labour, capital, and natural resources are discernible in competitive markets’
settings as respective shares of , in 1. Elasticity is essential for channelling of energy policy
decision making of CIS authorities into optimal exploitation of petroleum endowments and
finding proper balance of all utilized production factors in maximization of national wealth. In
addition to oil level trade-offs there is capital level choice - massive accumulation of capital from

SUGGESTIONS

1. By using a public vehicle instead of a private vehicle.

2. Promote to use the public vehicle instead of private vehicle

3. Increasing global warming in the environment.

4. Taxes on petroleum prices as to reduce.

5. Promoting health care program of walking, running benefit

31
 CONCLUSION

This study concluded that petroleum plays avital role in our lives While technologies are being
invented to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, it will be several decades before they become
commonplace and affordable. Some of the major car manufacturers across the world estimate
that it will be at least 2025 before electric vehicles are competitive in terms of cost and
performance with petroleum powered vehicles.

The price movement will immediately reflect on the account books of oil marketing firms, but
greatly help in the long run since there is no need maintain loss or subsidy. Apart from this, it
will increase of overall sales of oil marketing companies
