BP CEO Highlights India's Samudra Manthan Policy as Investment Opportunity in Oil Exploration
India's government introduced the Samudra Manthan policy in July to boost energy security by accelerating deep-water oil exploration with an investment of around Rs 84,000 crore. BP CEO Meg O'Neill praised the policy's attractive fiscal and legal terms and government support for foreign investment, stating BP is actively considering bids under this scheme. She credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Oil Minister for reforms encouraging exploration and infrastructure development amid global supply disruptions. BP is also moderating activities in West Asia due to regional risks.
