As per a leading financial daily, Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Ltd (ONGC) and Russian state-controlled company Rosneft, the world's top listed oil producer by output may join forces to supply oil to India over the long term. At a time when European Nations are threatening to cut their reliance on Russian oil and gas over its annexation of Crimea, Russian officials are trying to seek alliances in the East. Roseneft has also agreed with ONGC to join forces for Rosneft's yet-to-be built liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant in Russia to the benefit of Indian consumers. However, no additional details have been shared regarding the cooperation with ONGC.
