“ONGC remains a very vital entity in the country’s energy ecosystem and its domestic oil and gas business remains an important driver of grassroots development and growth of local industries and businesses in many corners of the country”, he said.
The Minister also pointed out how ONGC’s vibrant gas business in Tripura is steering this beautiful State on the path of Sustainable growth and said he was hopeful that the Maharatna Company, through the use of technology and its skilled manpower, would tap and unlock more commercially viable gas resources in other parts of the region such as Meghalaya.
