Cumulative dividends till March 31 corresponding to OIL's share received from producing assets in Russia stood at $406 million, equivalent to about Rs 3,000 crore."OIL recovered close to 47 per cent and 29 per cent of its investments in Vankorneft and Taas Yuriakh, respectively," he said.Mishra also said that OIL has drawn up ambitious plans for the future, including fast tracking of exploration in Arunachal Pradesh and developing the Baghewala heavy oil field in Rajasthan besides strengthening OIL's presence in other sectors of the hydrocarbon industry."OIL committed to success of the 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan' recently launched by the Prime Minister. With a view to expedite action in this direction, OIL has created a new department 'INDEG' for development of items indigenously," he said.In the renewable energy sectors, the CMD told the AGM that total installed capacity of OIL stood at 188.10 MW as on March 31, consisting of 174.10 MW of wind projects and 14 MW of solar projects, and a total revenue of Rs 138 crore was generated from these assets in 2019-20.He also that during 2019-20, a new joint venture company (JVC), the Purba Bharati Gas Private Ltd, was incorporated with equity participation of OIL, GAIL-Gas and AGC to develop CGD networks in two areas of Assam.Also, HPOIL Gas Private Ltd (HOGPL), a 50:50 JVC with HPCL, was set in respect of Kolhapur and Ambala-Kurukshetra areas, Mishra added.( With inputs from IANS )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
