This approval will result in the largest foreign investment in the domestic hydrocarbon sector. BP will take 30% stake in 21 oil & gas production sharing contracts that Reliance Industries operates in India, including the producing KG D6 block. Following the approval, RIL and BP will work together to conclude the deal expeditiously.
