Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) has run out of money as well as the Centre’s IOUs, which the company has been encashing for foreign exchange to buy crude. Indian Oil needs roughly Rs 12,000 crore ($3 billion) every month to buy crude but loses Rs 413 crore daily on fuel sales. As a result, the company has been borrowing heavily from banks and incurring further expense on interest. Lately, it has also been encashing the bonds under an RBI mechanism. In June, IndianOil used up the last of the bonds it had to raise about Rs 9,900 crore through the RBI mechanism. It is now left with bonds worth about Rs 4,300 crore that had already been securitised for raising funds from the overnight call market
