In the fourth quarter, the company's refining  margins stood at $8.9, marking a sharp rise over $2.9 in the same period  of 2015-16.       Part of this came from infusion of agility in the company's crude  sourcing regime, which also partly contributed to inventory gains. "I am  happy to share that we have brought down the time for finalising crude  purchase from the spot market from 36 hours last year to two hours. We  have also brought down our procurement under term contracts from 80% of  our total purchase to 68%," Ashok said.   </blockquote>
