That in the present scenario only 38 million tonnes of crude oil from domestic production is available for refining in Indian refineries.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That the balance (84.9 per cent) crude oil is required to be imported to meet the domestic refinery capacity. Hence, allowing export of domestic production of crude oil is not economically justified,&#8221; the ASG told Justice Manmohan.<\/p>\n<p>The ASG, assisted by central government standing counsel Anurag Ahluwalia, also told the court that Cairn has &#8220;complete freedom to fix the price of crude oil&#8221;, that it sells to any domestic refinery, &#8220;on arms length basis&#8221; as the company has claimed it was forced to sell its share of crude to private players at prices 20 per cent less than global rates.<\/p>\n<p>With regard to Cairn&#8217;s earlier claim that selling its share of crude at lesser price has caused a loss of Rs 1400 crore to the government, the ministry told the court that &#8220;we do not want to earn profit out of our natural resources&#8221; and added that crude oil cannot be exported presently as per its policy of zero per cent export till India attains self sufficiency.<\/p>\n<p>The court, thereafter, asked the government to place the policy before it by the next date of hearing on May 18.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(PTI) With nearly 85 per cent of India&#8217;s crude oil requirement being met by imports, it would not be &#8220;economically justified&#8221; to permit export of the country&#8217;s domestic crude production, the Centre has told the Delhi High Court.
