MESSAGE
The demand for petroleum products is increasing day-by-day due to the fast economic growth of the country. The high crude oil price in international market and the country’s heavy dependence (to the extent of about 80%) on its import is the matter of serious concern. Thus, as a nation, the biggest challenge is to meet the energy requirement of the various segments of population in an efficient, reliable and affordable manner while being sensitive to the concern for environment protection. The Government has taken several steps like increased exploration and production activities in the country, acquiring oil and gas assets abroad, development of alternate fuels, strategic storage of crude oil and above all greater impetus to conservation of petroleum products through its efficient usage.
Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas, Govt. of India had set up Petroleum Conservation Research Association (PCRA) in the year 1978 and the organization has been actively engaged in promoting efficient use of petroleum products in various sectors of economy viz. Industry, Transport, Domestic, Commercial and Agriculture. PCRA is making sustained efforts to encourage and assist energy consumers for adopting oil and gas conservation measure through their various activities such as energy audits, industrial workshops, transport workshops, sponsorship of R&D projects, Mass Awareness through print & electronic media, etc.
I am sure that the information given in this Annual Report 2010-11 shall be useful to the various stakeholders.

MESSAGE
Fossil fuels like Oil & Gas are the preferred energy sources due to their versatility and will remain so in future also. However, these fossil fuels are scarce resources and their reserves are depleting fast with increased use. India is the 4th largest consumer of oil and 12th largest consumer of gas in the world. However, its proven oil and gas reserves are only 0.7% and 0.8% of the global reserves respectively. As a result, the country is heavily dependent on imports to meet its energy requirement. A very high priority has accordingly been given by the Government for conservation of petroleum products so as to contain the gap between demand and supply as well as control environment pollution.
Petroleum Conservation Research Association (PCRA), since its inception in the year 1978, has been actively working in the field of energy conservation and efficiency improvement in the major economic sectors of industry, transport, agriculture, household and commercial. The organization has succeeded in motivating millions of consumers in these sectors to practise energy conservation through education campaigns, practical guidance and assistance to individuals / organizations.
PCRA’s Annual Report for 2010-11 provides a comprehensive picture of the various achievements in the energy conservation areas. I am sure that this report shall be useful to the various stakeholders.

PREFACE
The economic development of a country is primarily dependent upon use of energy. Oil remains the world’s leading source of energy at 33.6% of global energy consumption. Keeping in view the continued rise in the cost of energy and volatility in the price of oil in international market, there is an imperative need for not only using energy efficiently but also to conserve the same through various means.
The role of PCRA, an organisation under MOP&NG becomes crucial in this context. PCRA has been making constant endeavour to spread awareness amongst masses on various conservation measures to save fuel and to formulate and implement strategies for efficient utilization of petroleum products. PCRA designed its conservation activities to cover a large spectrum of socio-economic profile of the country in different sectors of economy viz. Industry, Transport, Domestic, Agriculture and Commercial.
During the year 2010-11, PCRA conducted around 700 energy efficiency studies in the Industry sector, which include Energy Audits, Fuel Oil Diagnostic Studies and walk-through audits in various small and medium scale industries. The savings identified through these studies were about 497800 KLOE (about `1500 crores) and the savings realised through follow up services (provided to clients where such studies were conducted in the previous years) was about 19430 KLOE (about ` 58 crores).
Transport Sector which accounts for about 45% of the country’s consumption of petroleum products, remained major area of focus for PCRA. During the year 2010-11, PCRA conducted 768 Driver Training Programmes (DTPs) covering over 13000 drivers and 121 Model Depot Projects (MDPs). In addition to DTPs and MDPs, PCRA also organised 609 nos. of one-day Transport Workshops.
During the year, PCRA associated actively with the National and International organizations such as Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM), PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PHDCCI), Indian Institute of Petroleum (IIP), The Bombay Textile Research Association (BTRA), The South India Textile Research Association (SITRA) and Energy Conservation Center Japan (ECCJ) in organizing various activities such as seminars, technical meets, training programmes on energy conservation and energy audits. These joint programmes proved very useful towards addressing effectively the issue of energy efficiency to the target audience apart from dissemination of information.
12 Annual Report 2010-11 13
Research and Development is another important activity of PCRA. These activities provide strong support to PCRA’s energy conservation efforts by developing energy efficient products / processes to improve energy efficiency. During the year 2010-11, PCRA completed 10 nos. of projects and sponsored 2 new projects to different Research Institutions.
Education Campaign is used as a communication tool to create mass awareness on efficient utilization of energy resources, a tool that is effective in bringing attitudinal changes through sustained efforts using various medium of communication. PCRA, during the year 2010-11, undertook regular mass awareness and education campaign programmes to motivate the end users of petroleum products in various sectors to adopt fuel saving measures in their day-to-day life. The mass awareness among all sections of society is created through various activities such as printed literature, exhibitions, outdoor publicity, print & electronic media etc.
Like previous years, PCRA in association with Oil Industry observed 21st Oil and Gas Conservation Fortnight (OGCF) during the period, 15th-31st January 2011. The State Level Coordinators of Oil Marketing Companies conducted sector specific mass awareness activities for conservation of Oil and Gas. During OGCF’11, PCRA organized various technical seminars, conferences, workshops, National Level Painting Competition and National / State Level Essay Competition for students of Class-X and above in Hindi, English and twelve regional languages.
PCRA, during the last 30 years has conducted more than 13,000 energy efficiency studies in small, medium and large scale industries. These include petroleum refineries, drilling rigs, integrated steel plants, fertilizers plants, petrochemical complexes, steel re-rolling mills, dairy plants etc. With a view to disseminate energy efficiency strategies, writing of technical books on energy conservation has been undertaken to help the industries in realizing the energy savings potential. With these objectives, PCRA, during the year, published two technical books on energy conservation titled “A Guide to Energy in Dairy Industry” and “Energy Savings in Industry – Real Life Case Studies”. These books were released during the Inaugural Function of OGCF’11 in New Delhi.
Human Resources play a crucial role in the success of any organization. The officers are periodically exposed to various managerial development and functional programmes according to the training needs identified for each individual. Presently, PCRA is having a team of 32 certified Energy Auditors and Energy Managers. The successful completion of various activities of PCRA bears a testimony to the qualified, competent, dedicated and trained workforce of the organization.
The unstinted support and guidance provided by Chairman and Vice-Chairman of PCRA have been the source of strength to achieve the desired objectives. I gratefully acknowledge the help and support extended to PCRA by the senior executives of Oil Companies for providing valuable inputs as Members on various committees of PCRA. The untiring efforts and dedication of the PCRA officers in completing the assigned task deserves all the appreciation.

38 Annual Report 2010-11 39
PCRA, since its inception in the year 1978, has been actively engaged in energy efficiency improvement efforts specifically, the conser-vation of petroleum products in the key economic sectors of industry, transport, agri-cuture, household and commercial buildings. PCRA, during the last more than 30 years, has conducted more than 13,000 energy efficiency studies in small, medium and large industries. These include petroleum refineries, drilling rigs, integrated steel plants, fertilizer plants, petrochemical complexes, steel re-rolling mills, dairy plants and a large number of small and medium enterprises. In a way, PCRA is a big repository of data on energy saving measures.
To document and disseminate the field data on energy savings technologies amongst the end users of energy, PCRA has been writing books, with a view to propagate energy efficiency strategies, to be referred by various industries to realize the energy savings potential. The motive behind books is to create awareness among the users to save energy
through energy efficient processes for energy security and to improve carbon footprints.
With these objectives, PCRA has written and published the following two books on energy conservation, which were released by Hon’ble Minister for Petroleum & Natural Gas and Hon’ble Minister of State for P&NG jointly during the Inaugural function of Oil & Gas Conservation Fortnight 2011:
A Guide to Energy Conservation in ¾Dairy Industry:
India has been the world’s largest producer of milk since a decade. The dairy industry however, is largely unorganised and local in its character. PCRA has carried out energy audits of over 100 dairy plants in the country and thus, to create a comprehensive guide for dairy professionals in conserving energy, PCRA has written the Book titled “A Guide to Energy Conservation in Dairy Industry” highlighting the energy saving potential, based on the actual findings of energy audits by PCRA Energy Auditors. The book provides step wise,

BOOKS ON ENERGY CONSERVATION
38 39Annual Report 2010-11
practical tips to save energy in all major areas of a dairy processing plant. It shows use of instruments required for conducting energy audits and efficient energy saving technologies like co-generation, tri-generation, use of light emitting diode (LED) etc. Some other interesting and unconventional energy conservation opportunities covered in the book are on effluent treatment plants, water conservation and audit, waste minimization and resource conservation etc. We understand that this book will be helpful for dairy professionals and companies engaged in the energy sector and serve in conserving energy in the dairy industry.
Energy Savings in Industry - Real Life ¾Case Studies:
Industrial sector in India accounts for 40% of commercial energy demand while its contribution to GDP is nearly 27%. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) which account for 39% of total industrial production, due to excessive use of non-standardized machinery and obsolete technology, are highly energy inefficient and there exists considerable scope to improve energy efficiency through retrofitting, technology upgradation, standar-dization of equipment and replication of energy efficient processes across each SME Cluster.
Also, the “National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC)” released by the PMO in June, 2008 lists enhanced energy efficiency as a key National Mission which for the core of the National Action Plan, representing multi pronged, long-term and integrated strategies for achieving key goals in the context of the climate change. A number of schemes and programmes have been initiated under this mission and it is anticipated that these would result in a saving of 10,000 MW by the end of 11th Five Year Plan in 2012. Regular energy audit has been identified as a major tool to harness this opportunity. This book “Energy Savings in Industry - Real Life Case Studies” is placed for energy professionals at most appropriate time.
The book covers in detail, the energy conservation opportunities in energy inten-sive sectors such as Iron & Steel, Pulp & Paper, Textile, Thermal Power Plants, Sugar and others along with more than 25 case studies to demonstrate the saving potential through suitable measures with their Energy Conservation Opportunities and calculations to reach the monitory benefits.
The book will serve as a ready reckoner for energy managers and shop floor supervisors to adopt energy conservation practices and measure benefits in their respective industries to save energy cost particularly in small and medium enterprises.

During the next year, after verification, liabilities remaining outstanding for a period of more than three years shall be phased out by writing them back.

50 Annual Report 2010-11 51
Since the balances are for a period of more than three years, long outstanding and no claimants are forthcoming, it has been decided by the management to phase out these balances by writing back in a time bound manner. Accordingly, the management has decided to write back the liabilities standing upto 31st March 2008, during the current year. During the next year, after thorough verification, liabilities remaining outstanding for a period of more than three years shall be phased out by writing them back.
16. Stale Cheques Other current liabilities include an amount
of ` 8,09,446/-, being the amount of cheques remaining unpresented till date, and transferred to a separate account code no. 115-00 called “Stale Cheques Account”. However, under this category, cheques since the year 2007-08 were still lying uncleared. The management has decided to write back these creditors upto the year 2007-08 transferring the same to income during the current year. Accordingly, a sum of ` 28,441/- stands credited to income during the year.
17. Fixed Assets & Depreciation l The Association has maintained fixed asset
registers at Head Office in Delhi and in all its Regions. These Fixed Asset Registers maintained in various departments are being updated. The Association has also taken up the process of physical verification of all the asset at H.O. and Regional Offices through appointment of an outside agency for properly verifying the assets and helping in maintenance of Fixed Asset Register.
l In accordance with AS-6 relating to provision of depreciation, depreciation is to be provided on Fixed Assets. However as per General Financial Rules adopted by PCRA, depreciation was not to be charged on the fixed assets. Therefore, PCRA had
stopped charging depreciation with effect from the financial year 1998-99, and continued the same till the F.Y. 2005-06. This has resulted in over statement of cost of fixed assets in the financial statement to that extent.
l As per the directive received from Govt. of India through OIL INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT BOARD, PCRA has adopted the common formats developed by C&AG. As per the provisions of schedule 8 of common formats, PCRA has started to charge the depreciation on fixed assets w.e.f. 2006-07. Consequently, due to the non charging provision of depreciation between the years 1998-99 and 2005-06 these are not stated at their actual depreciated value. As per the provisions of Income Tax Act 1961, the depreciation during the financial year 2010-11 is ` 138.43 lacs.
l Due to differential treatment of charging of depreciation in earlier/current years, the fixed assets reported in the Balance Sheet are not matching with OIDB Grant-in-Aid Capital Fund.
l PCRA has started maintaining schedule of Fixed Assets in GFR-19 Form from financial year 1998-99, only for additions in Fixed Assets.
l During financial year 2010-11 the original cost of the assets disposed off was ` 48,306/- and accumulated depreciation on these assets was ̀ 25,320/-. The written down value of these assets was ̀ 22,986/-. Further, the sale proceeds of ` 6,050/- of the scrapped assets have been considered as income, in the accounts and considered as such in the financial statements.
l PCRA is maintaining Fixed Asset Register at PS and also keeping all the records of Assets at various regions based on feedback from Regions. PCRA is continuing its previous practice of
50 51Annual Report 2010-11
changing depreciation on regional in its books only by its assets at PS only with the same, therefore the value of assets remains deflated to that extent in PS, while the value of assets remains inflated by the same amount in PS records. PCRA has now appointed a separate agency to correct physically verify and properly recording the same.
18. Recoverable from parties:- The balance outstanding under the head as
on the Balance Sheet date is ̀ 27151068/-, which includes some outstanding till the F.Y. 2007-08 (i.e. 31.03.2008), amounting to ` 5535219/- stands time barred now, under the provisions of the Limitations Act. However, in view of the fact that PCRA is not having a clearout policy to write off such amounts, these are being carried forward year after year.
19. Tax Deducted at Source Pending reconciliation of outstanding
TDS amount, the amount of ` 88.84 lacs shown under the head stands inflated by the amounts of earlier year TDS amount entries and adjustment of I.T. refunds.
20. Research & Development Expense In view of its continuing practice, the
amount of expenditure amount includes amounts which belong to earlier years
but are notified to it during the current year only.
21. Advances to Regions/Others and Imprest with Officers
The amount outstanding under these heads includes amounts, which are outstanding for periods longer than the specified norms.
22. Deferred Tax Since, there were no timing differences
and permanent differences during the F.Y. 2010-11, therefore, the question of provision for current tax and deferred tax does not arise.
23. Sundry debtors include an amount of ` 3,55,000/-, which is considered doubtful of recovery by the management. The same is being shown as “provision for doubtful recoveries year after year and is deducted from the head “recoverable from parties” under the head sundry debtors in current assets. The same has not yet been written off since the powers to write off as per DOA do not vest in the management, who is now taking up the matter with relevant authorities.
24. Previous year figures have been regrouped, recasted, rearranged, wherever found necessary.
