$9 billion! That's how much India will save with the RIL KG D-6

April 2, 2009

If achieved by 2009-end, the peak output will come a year earlier than previously planned. Of the 18 wells drilled in the Phase-I of the project, six would be put on production initially and the remaining would be hooked up one by one.

Besides doubling the nation's domestic gas production, KG-D6 gas would displace costly naphtha or imported LNG as fuel at power and fertiliser plants.
