Abstract:
|
The case describes the growth strategy and diversification plans of the Government owned Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC), the largest oil exploration and production (E&P) company in India. ONGC has near monopoly in India's oil E&P industry producing nearly 90 percent of the country's crude oil and natural gas. Till the late 1990s, the company was mainly confined to upstream activities of E&P. In order to reduce risks inherent in confining to one activity and to achieve financial stability and steady growth, ONGC acquired a major equity stake in Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Limited so as to enter the down stream activities of refining. With this, ONGC became the first integrated oil company in India.
