Cairn India has discovered an oil and gas in Western India. It is good news for India as the country still depends on oil import to satisfy its domestic and industrial needs. It pays huge sum as crude import bill from its state exchequer.
The newly discovered area is located approximately 1.5 km east of the Raageshwari 1 well which is a commercial and approved field development plan. The Mangala, Aishwariya Raageshwari and Saraswati development area, nearby the discovered field, are already producing oil.
