Oil cos’ plea to abolish Shipping Min’s nod for crude import

To get more crude oil to India, oil companies want the Union government to allow them to import crude oil on what is called the cost, insurance and freight (cif) basis, without requiring any approval from the Shipping Ministry. The move is expected to eventually help more foreign flagged vessels to ship crude oil to India. Allowing crude imports on cif basis will transfer the power of how crude oil carriers are chosen to the selling party — that is, firms in other countries.
