Chairman and CEO Sunil Kumar Srivastava, “We are actively looking for quality assets that can deliver crude oil to India.” (Sunil Kumar Srivastava) told PTI yesterday.

He said, “The Indian government is very supportive of our overseas activities. They are encouraging us to go global and reduce energy imports.

Speaking at the International Energy Week in Singapore, he said, “The more oil and gas we bring into the country, the better it will be for reducing the cost of energy imports into the country.”
