Deregulation helps ONGC command premium over Brent on Mumbai crude

Deregulation of domestic crude appears to have tipped the balance in favour of producers as green shoots of a free market emerge. In term deals signed after getting marketing freedom, state-run producer ONGC is commanding a premium over global benchmark Brent for Mumbai offshore oil in spite of attempts by buyers, also from the public sector, to beat down prices by leveraging discounts on Russian supplies. ONGC produces 13-14 million tonnes per annum of crude oil from its fields in the Arabian Sea, off the Mumbai coast.
