Emkay's report on Cairn India
In light of the weak crude prices environment, Cairn India has defer its capex for FY16 from the projected USD1.2bn to USD 0.5bn. For FY16, the capex will be spent on Mangala Polymer EOR, MBA infill and sustenance, Gas terminal and pipeline, appraisal / testing of existing discoveries in RJ, seismic activity in non-Rajasthan blocks.
