Future mobility will be cheap, door to door, personalised and ‘on demand’.
8The boundaries between private, shared, and public transport will be blurred, possibly eliminated, and recast.
8Transport options will be multi-modal, connected, autonomous and electric with service providers delivering the entire travel experience. While some people will still have private vehicles, the majority could well opt for the far more economic option of a combination of shared and public transport.
8But another scenario can emerge where in the absence of considered policy direction, future mobility may also exacerbate existing social and environmental impacts.
8Without widespread adoption of shared mobility, a transport system dominated by private autonomous travel could increase journeys and vehicles on the road. Lower costs and increased flexibility may result in increased demand and willingness to travel longer distances. Private AVs could replace public transport routes, increasing mobility inequality for those unable to afford such a vehicle.
8Some commentators see the ensuing disruption as destroying trillions of dollars of investor value across the transportation and energy industries, but also creating trillions of dollars in new business opportunities, consumer surplus and GDP growth.
8Business needs to critically evaluate how these opportunities are relevant.

While some people will still have private vehicles, the majority could well opt for the far more economic option of a combination of shared and public transport.
8But another scenario can emerge where in the absence of considered policy direction, future mobility may also exacerbate existing social and environmental impacts.
8Without widespread adoption of shared mobility, a transport system dominated by private autonomous travel could increase journeys and vehicles on the road. Lower costs and increased flexibility may result in increased demand and willingness to travel longer distances. Private AVs could replace public transport routes, increasing mobility inequality for those unable to afford such a vehicle.
8Some commentators see the ensuing disruption as destroying trillions of dollars of investor value across the transportation and energy industries, but also creating trillions of dollars in new business opportunities, consumer surplus and GDP growth.
8Business needs to critically evaluate how these opportunities are relevant.

Round-1 of the OALP bid round doesn't seem to be much of a success if one goes by the number of companies bidding
8Only a handful of companies has participated, most of them government-owned.
8No foreign company has put in a bid
8The RIL-BP combine has stayed away.
8The show is made up of public sector companies and Vedanta, the latter perhaps thinking it can replicate the success of the Barmer field elsewhere in the country.
Comment: It is not the government's failure that players have not been attracted. The problem is that in an increasingly uncertain world when the oil & gas industry is under severe transition, there are not many risk takers for exploratory rounds in hydrocarbon poor basins today. Even the best global prospects are going unwanted. OALP has been finely fashioned but the timing is all wrong.

The term “demand destruction” is again entering the lexicon of the current crude oil market as the sharp rise in prices raises concerns about when do consumers start cutting back on their fuel consumption.
8There is also some preliminary evidence that India’s appetite for crude oil is leveling off, with imports trending lower so far this year.
8While there may be some seasonal slowing in India’s crude demand, it’s worth noting that April this year appears to be weaker

Over the last few weeks there has been a lot of hype about the new Chinese crude oil futures contract launched by the Shanghai International Energy Exchange.
8Many experts have heralded this as a world-changing event, with headlines predicting a shift in the global financial system that could threaten US dollar hegemony.
8Shifting just part of the global oil trade to yuan, they argue, would improve the liquidity of the yuan in the global market and promote its use in global trade (one of the country’s key long-term goals).
8Further, they argue that expanding futures trading to include other commodities would require central banks and government treasuries around the world to reduce their dollar holdings and build their store of Chinese yuan. At present, the yuan only represents around 1 per cent of the global reserve currency, while the dollar accounts for 63 per cent, according to International Monetary Fund estimates.
8Finally, it would also reduce China’s dollar holdings, and the corresponding need to ‘round trip’ them back into the US in the form of treasury purchases.
8These three points, they argue, could create the conditions for the yuan to challenge the dollar, by increasing the role of the yuan as a global trading currency and reducing the dollar’s importance.

8The benchmarks will cover energy efficiency commitments by companies, incorporating circular economy models into their supply chains and sourcing practices, tying executive compensation to sustainability performance, and doubling down on investments that will yield positive social returns for the communities in which they operate.

8Styled along the lines of the American Petroleum Institute, the Indian outfit has a long way to go before it can develop the necessary clout and reputation of its US counterpart.
8Companies find it convenient to lobby individually with the government rather than to do it collectively through an industry body.
8What is more, the number of players is limited, and each have their own independent agendas.
8There is also significant conflict of interest among companies that work against building an effective collective lobbying group.
8Under funding is always is a major issue with such industry lobbies in India, thereby not allowing them to build the capabilities needed to conduct in-depth research and analysis needed to build heft in this technology heavy industry.
