MUMBAI (Reuters): Indian oil companies received on 3 January a first tranche of Rs. 100 billion as part of a cash subsidy payout for the April-September period, two officials at State-owned oil companies told Reuters.

The second and third tranches of an equivalent amount are expected on 10 January and 17 January, the officials said.
