The Government is exploring opportunities to meet the domestic demand of oil through domestic supply by<br />
encouraging the development of modern offshore assets.<br />
The energy demand is expected to grow fourfold in the next two decades. The Government is stepping up its offshore<br />
oil and gas programme. The inability of aging offshore structures i.e. rigs and platforms to operate in deeper water<br />
posts an advantage for businesses that can create new generation efficient offshore structures. Heavy Engineering<br />
companies with access to waterfront will be better suited to develop modern offshore structures. Globally, more<br />
than 75% of rigs were constructed before 1985, which indicates that most rigs will need to be replaced in the next<br />
������������<br />
decade. As it becomes more expensive to purchase such offshore structures in Middle East & East Asian countries,<br />
economies have been considering low cost destinations like India and many orders may be diverted to Indian<br />
