ONGC and Oil India have been given the go ahead from the Indian government for their $5 billion acquisition of a 20% stake in Mozambique’s Offshore Area 1.
ONGC Videsh reported it was going to acquire a 10% stake in the block for $2.64 billion in August, two months after it purchased a 10% stake in the same block jointly with Oil India for $2.475 billion.
The deal is expected to close by December.
