Question

Explain oil fields in India?

Answer 1

• India's confirmed oil reserves are about 125 Million metric tonnes
• Most of these are located on the western coast called the Mumbai High area as well as in the northeastern states
• Oil fields have also been confirmed in offshore Bay of Bengal and in Rajasthan
• Oil and Natural Gas Corporation is the largest oil company in the country
• The oil fields in India do not suffice for the growing demands and India remains a major importer of oils, to cater to its domestic demands
