Pricing model / Brent as input

Slide the horizon. Watch the Brent spread move.

The tool starts with the live Brent range, then widens or shifts the visual spread as the time horizon changes. The point is not fake precision; it is to make the price-risk band visible before India pricing, taxes, margins, and absorbers are discussed.

India product pricing

Product stacks: input, margin, duty, tax, absorber.

This sits below the Brent visual because India pricing is a chain: crude or gas input, FX, refinery transfer, dealer commission, central duties, state taxes, OMC smoothing, then customer price.

Who absorbs it

One price shock, six different ledgers.

Customer

Sees pump, LPG, ATF, or gas tariff only after policy and company smoothing.

Government

Central excise, state VAT, subsidy headroom, inflation, and import-bill politics.

OMCs

Marketing margin compresses when crude rises and retail prices stay flat.

Refiners

Cracks, crude slate, Russian discounts, freight, and utilisation drive margin.

Upstream

ONGC and OIL generally benefit from higher crude/gas realisation.

Industries

Aviation, fertiliser, transport, petrochemicals, and power feel different lags.
