MINISTER of Public Works, Bishop Juan Edghill, who is leading a delegation to India, was given a guided tour of a section of the Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. (IndianOil) located in New Delhi, India.

The minister was accompanied by a delegation from Guyana’s High Commission in India.

IndianOil, known as the energy of India, is a diversified, integrated energy major with presence in almost all the streams of oil, gas, petrochemicals and alternative energy sources.

The company, according to its website, has highly trained staff, state-of-the-art equipment and operates with cutting-edge technologies. It also operates in line with world best practices, quality consciousness and transparency.

Prior to the tour, Minister Edghill met with India’s Minister of Power, New and Renewable Energy, Shri R.K. Singh.

India has committed to giving Guyana support as the country ventures into the area of natural gas, power generation and renewable energy.

Minister Edghill is currently on an official visit to India for the launch ceremony of the new ferry vessel for the Northwest District. That event takes place today in Kolkata, India.
