TECHNOLOGY
We have stepped up our search for new technologies to provide more
energy, secure energy and cleaner energy. In 2006, our investment in
research and development, including field tests and involvement in
third-party technologies, increased to $1.2 billion. We recruited over
3,000 technical professionals and opened a major new Technology
Centre in Bangalore, India.
