Indian firms looking to invest in Russian projects
Western companies announced their withdrawal from the Russian market. Some have curtailed their operations in Russia, while others still hold their Russian assets.
NEW DELHI: Western companies announced their withdrawal from the Russian market. Some have curtailed their operations in Russia, while others still hold their Russian assets.
BP and ExxonMobil are among the Western firms that the Russian government is considering taking over and selling later.
India is one of Russia's key strategic partners, and its state-run firms have shown a keen interest in acquiring the stakes of Western energy majors in Russian oil and gas assets.
Indian state-owned companies already participate in large Russian projects in the Far East and East Siberia.
The Russian oil giant Rosneft is a prime example of a partnership. The company strives to ensure stable trade and economic cooperation between Russia and India. It supports mutually beneficial and integrated collaboration along the entire value chain, from production to refining and distribution of petroleum products.
Rosneft has extensive experience in implementing joint projects with Indian partners. In the past four years, the total payments to Indian partners and the dividends from joint projects amounted to about $5 billion.
Since 2016, ONGC Videsh Ltd., Oil India Limited, Indian Oil Corporation, and Bharat Petroresources have owned 49.9 per cent of Rosneft's subsidiary JSC Vankorneft.
The project, located in the Krasnoyarsk Region, develops the Vankorskoye field, one of Russia's biggest fields discovered and brought on stream over the last 25 years. (IANS)
