- Will have to include the nuances of the individual business units though they are fairly diversified from refining to retail fuel dispensing
- The asset management strategy will be based on the criticality of the assets to its intended business objectives. It is understood that the objectives will focus on each business unit. While assessing the impact of the failure due consideration would be given to the nature of functional failure like, total, partial, operable.
