IOC corners more than a third of D6 gas in latest Reliance auction
State-owned Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) has cornered more than a third of natural gas that Reliance Industries Ltd and its partner bp of the UK offered in the latest auction of the KG-D6 gas, sources said.
IOC got 1.45 million standard cubic meters per day out of the 4 mmscmd of gas auctioned last week. The oil refining and marketing company, which was the top bidder even in the previous two auctions of gas from the eastern offshore KG-D6 block of Reliance-bp, bid the volumes as an aggregator on behalf of fertilizer plants.
