NEW DELHI : India will be a growth driver of global energy demand, Igor Sechin, chief executive officer of Rosneft Oil Company recently said at the 24th St Petersburg International Economic Forum.
This comes against the backdrop of one of the world’s largest publicly traded oil company’ Asian pivot. India, as the world’ third largest oil importer has an important role to play in Rosneft’s recalibrated playbook, that has a low production cost of around $2.6 for every barrel of oil equivalent.
“Igor Sechin expressed his certainty that the plans of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to improve energy availability to every citizen of the country will make India the key growth driver of the global demand for energy resources,” according to a recent statement issued by Rosneft.
