D. TRIPATHI Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas Secretary Shastri Bhawan, New Delhi - 110001 CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE Petroleum conservation is vital for a country like India, which is heavily dependent on import of crude oil for meeting its growing demand of petroleum products that have been propelled by the growing economy of the country. The burning of petroleum products also contributes to environment pollution and global warming. Therefore, petroleum conservation and efficiency measures are vital & important to mitigate these concerns. According high importance to this aspect, Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas, Government of India has linked two very important initiatives viz. formulation of Fuel Economy Norms for Heavy Vehicles and imparting Fuel Efficient Driving Training to nearly 24 lakh Heavy Vehicle Drivers in the country. These initiatives are being spearheaded by Petroleum Conservation Research Association (PCRA). PCRA has been mandated to undertake various activities in the area of petroleum conservation and energy efficiency including mass awareness campaigns and several field activities such as drivers’ training program, domestic workshops, agricultural workshops, programs for youth and school children, energy audits of industries and promoting research & development, aimed at petroleum conservation and environment protection. PCRA is publishing its Annual Report for the year 2016-17. I am sure that the information given in the report will be beneficial to all stake holders. I also wish PCRA a great success in their endeavours. (K. D.

Being 3rd largest importer of crude oil, India’s reliance on oil imports is expected to rise above 90% by 2040. Conservation and efficiency measures of petroleum products will play an important role in inching closer towards energy security of the nation. It would not only save on huge import bill, but also help in protecting environment from greenhouse gases and other noxious hydrocarbons emanating from burning of petroleum fuels. The Government had formed Petroleum Conservation Research Association (PCRA) in the year 1978 to spread mass awareness on efficient utilization of petroleum fuels. It is a non-profit registered society and works as an extended arm of Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Govt. of India. The affairs of PCRA are managed by its Governing Body and Executive Committee, which provide directions to the programmes and initiatives of PCRA and determine policies and priorities for promoting the aims and objectives of the Society. Ever since its inception, PCRA has been making constant endeavor to create mass awareness on energy saving tips, wastage reducing measures, adoption of energy efficient equipments and practices, encouragement to cleaner fuels etc. leading to conservation of petroleum products and environment sustenance. It has developed a comprehensive set of people-connect activities to create awareness such as training modules, workshops, technical meets & participation in exhibitions / melas etc. During last financial 2016-17, PCRA conducted a month long nationwide awareness campaign called ‘Saksham’ through which it could reach out to nearly 9.6 crore populace all over the country. PCRA also conducts various field activities such as energy efficiency studies for industries that includes Energy Audits, PAT audits, ISO 50001 audits etc., model depot projects for STUs, programmes for youth, conducting national level competitions of Essay, Painting and Quiz for school children, and sponsoring various R&D projects aimed at petroleum conservation and environment protection. PCRA also utilizes various digital platforms such as social media sites (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, You Tube, Google+) and MyGov platform for campaigning, inviting suggestions from public and conducting competitions etc. Other publicity tools such as TV, Radio, Newspaper, Advertisement etc. are also used from time to time. ih lh vkj , I am happy to place PCRA’s Annual Report for the year 2016-17, which depicts its gamut of activities conducted during the year.
