This case study outlines the establishment of strategic crude oil reserves in India, initiated by the Union Cabinet in 2004, leading to the formation of a subsidiary company. By 2019, the company operated storage caverns funded by the Oil Industry Development Board. In July 2021, the Cabinet approved partial commercialization, enabling the company to lease 30% and buy or sell 20% of its storage capacity. For expanding storage capabilities, the company received ?210 crores for land acquisition in Phase II, categorized as a financial liability, with grants as ‘Other Financial Liability’ and land costs as ‘Other Non-Current Assets’ under Indian Accounting Standards.
It thoroughly examines the accounting treatment of government grants received for land acquisition related to strategic oil reserve projects.
