India's crude oil production during March stood at 2526.11 thousand metric tonnes (TMT), 12.49% lower than the targeted 2886.55 TMT, the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas said in its monthly production report on April 20.
As per the report, crude oil production was also lower in terms of year-on-year data for the period. Natural gas production was higher in YoY terms, but still lower than the monthly target.
Further, crude oil processed during the month was higher than target, and also higher YoY basis. And, production of petroleum products was higher — in both target for the month and YoY numbers.
Here are the details of the report.
