Pricing of petroleum products in India

2008-11-01T02:06:00.000-07:00

The following link provides a detailed document on the petroleum products pricing in India:

-- Pricing Methodology of Petrol & Diesel in India

Petrol and diesel in India are priced on the basis of their import parity prices, i.e. the cost that the oil marketing would have had to pay, if they were importing. So for e.g.

- Cost of petrol in Dubai: Rs.20 per litre.
- Cost of transportation from Dubai to India: Rs.2 per litre
- Import duty on Petrol: 10%

Adding these would give us a price of Rs.20 + 2 + 2.2 = Rs.24.2 per litre as the fully paid-for import price. This is called as the import parity price. However, this is not the price at which petrol and diesel are sold in India. There are a host of internal costs involved. Some of them include:

Marketing costs
Retail pump outlet charges
Internal freight costs
Stock loss
Marketing margin to the Oil marketing companies
Fixed return on working capital
terminalling charges, etc.

The document above provides a detailed computation of the same.

Indian Volatility Index (VIX by the NSE)

2008-08-06T20:12:00.000-07:00

The VIX for the Indian markets was released by the NSE. The series begins from Nov'07. The details about the same are as follows:

Volatility Index is a measure of market’s expectation of volatility over the near term. Volatility is often described as the “rate and magnitude of changes in prices” and in finance often referred to as risk. Volatility Index is a measure, of the amount by which an underlying Index is expected to fluctuate, in the near term, (calculated as annualised volatility, denoted in percentage e.g. 20%) based on the order book of the underlying index options.

India VIX is a volatility index based on the Nifty 50 Index Option prices. From the best bid-ask prices of Nifty 50 Options contracts, a volatility figure (%) is calculated which indicates the expected market volatility over the next 30 calendar days.

Computation methodology of India VIX

Historical data of India VIX

Volatility Index (VIX)

2008-08-06T20:09:00.000-07:00

VIX, What is it?

The VIX takes the weighted average of implied volatility for the Standard and Poor's 100 Index (OEX calls and puts) and measures the volatility of the market. A low VIX indicates trader confidence. A high Vix the opposite. Dividing the S&P 500 by the Vix (ratio) gives the confidence level in relation to the market. The higher the ratio the higher the confidence. As always, when sentiments go to extremes, it could be time to pay attention.
