India is all set to cross another milestone in its journey of expanding the oil and gas sector with Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurating the annual India Energy Forum by CERA Week today.

The meet is aimed at realizing the country’s full market potential and actualizing its sharp transition from a passive consumer to an active stakeholder in the global oil & gas value chain, thereby bringing it much closer to accomplishing its Atmanirbhar Bharat mission.
