Overview
 

Price discovery is the process of determining the market value of the product through the interaction of buyers and sellers in an open market. It involves the continuous flow of information and trading activity among market participants, leading to the determination of an equilibrium price at which the product is traded.

 
Selling or Purchasing Petroleum Products has till now been fraught with various unpredictable actors that can throw a spanner in the plans of any organisation. Traders or end users have to be constantly vigilant against variances in quality and pricing of products.
 
Many organisations are hampered by a limited access to genuine suppliers of products because they are exposed to only a small fraction of suppliers and prices being offered. In order to bring greater transparency and efficiency in the trade of Petroleum products, the Petroleum E-Market platform has been launched. The Petroleum E-Market Platform conducts live auctions and trades of various petroleum, petrochemical and chemical products daily. On registering with Petroleum Exchange, users can view the products being offered for sale on the platform.
 
Buyers can choose to participate in these auctions and trades and get product delivered to their location. The various models of auctions and trades allows users to participate in a manner they are comfortable with. Users can participate in direct auctions where the highest bidder of a product gets delivery of the product or one can take part in premium trades where the trade is completed once the seller’s and buyer’s price find equivalence.
Other models like E-Procurement and Penny auctions provide further opportunities for users to begin trading in petroleum products at market competitive prices.  
 
The Petroleum E-Market platform allows its members to gain access to suppliers/buyers of petroleum products from across the country. With its live auction platform, buyers can bid on products available from across the country. Sellers, in turn, can offer their products from multiple locations and get the price discovered organically for their products.
