Summary

Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) plans to buy its own crude oil and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) ships, BusinessLine reported, citing finance director Anuj Jain on the company's second-quarter earnings call. He said the board has already approved the purchase of a few vessels and tenders were issued several months ago. Business Standard reported that disruption to shipping around the Strait of Hormuz and rising freight costs prompted the move by India's largest oil refiner. Economic Times reported that IOC aims to gain more control over its energy supply chain and is also exploring domestic shipbuilding under the Make in India programme. LPG is the cooking gas sold in cylinders; crude oil is the raw material refineries turn into fuels. Freight cost is what a company pays to move goods by ship. Second quarter means July to September, the second quarter of India's financial year.
