Cairn India, the company that gave the nation its largest oil discovery in more than two decades, has sold the first crude from its prolific Rajasthan fields to the Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Ltd (MRPL).
Cairn sold a 29,000-tons parcel to MRPL earlier this month, a top official said.
"Yes, I can confirm that we will be receiving the first oil from Rajasthan at our refinery this evening," MRPL Managing Director Uttam Kumar Basu said.
The 208,000 barrels or 29,000-tons parcel was loaded on a Singapore-flagged vessel at the Kandla port in Gujarat and sailed for Mangalore on October 5.
Cairn had on August 29 started production from its Barmer district fields in the Thar desert near the Pakistan border.
