Bharat mein Banenge Ab Jahaaz!
India ki state-run refiners ne ek bada plan banaya hai. Woh ab apne fuel ko idhar udhar le jaane ke liye desh mein hi bane hue 10 jahaaz (vessels) order karne wale hain. Sarkar chahti hai ki shipbuilding industry aur bhi zyada badhe.
Kaun Kaun Hai Is Deal Mein?
Indian Oil Corp., Bharat Petroleum Corp. aur Hindustan Petroleum Corp. milkar ek tender nikalenge. Is tender mein medium-range tankers ke liye order diya jayega. Khabar hai ki yeh proposal lagbhag $600 million ka ho sakta hai, aur jahaaz 2028 tak deliver hone chahiye.
Kyun Ho Raha Hai Yeh Sab?
India chahta hai ki uski domestic building capacity badhe. Aajkal ships ko energy, trade aur defense ke liye bahut important maana jaata hai. India mein abhi 40 se zyada yards hain, lekin sirf 4 hi aise hain jo medium-range tankers se bade jahaaz bana sakte hain.
Refiners Thode Naraz Hai?
Refiners ko jahaaz banane aur operate karne ka idea kuch khaas pasand nahi aa raha. Unhone sarkar se financial madad bhi maangi hai. Unka kehna hai ki jahaaz ko charter karna zyada sasta padta hai.
Kitne Bade Honge Yeh Jahaaz?
Yeh medium-range tankers 50,000 se 60,000 deadweight tons ke honge. Ek jahaaz ki keemat $55 million se $60 million tak ho sakti hai. Indian Oil Corp. 6 jahaaz kharidne wala hai, jabki BPCL aur HPCL 2-2 jahaaz kharidenge.
Kya Hai Iska Matlab?
India mein bane hue jahaaz kharidne se refiners ko thoda zyada paisa kharch karna pad sakta hai. South Korea mein bana hua ek medium-range tanker $50 million ka milta hai, jabki China mein bana hua $7 million sasta milta hai. India mein lagbhag 13% petroleum products coastal routes se transport hote hain, aur aadhe se zyada fuels pipelines se.
