Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC) has envisaged a revenue of around US$ 1,250 million (Rs. 6,000 crore approx.) from its overseas operations during the Tenth Five Year Plan period, i.e. 2002-2007. Arising out of the investment made by ONGC-Videsh Limited (OVL), the fully owned subsidiary of ONGC, in the Vietnam Project, revenue generation has started from the fiscal year 2002-03. The total sales revenue booked from the Vietnam Project during the above period, for OVL’s share is US$ 2.07 million (Rs. 99.36 crore approx.).

In addition to the Vietnam Project, during 2002-03, revenue realisation of OVL from the Greater Nile Oil Project (GNOP), Sudan was US$ 18 million (Rs. 86.4 crore approx.) through ONGC Nile-Ganga, its wholly owned subsidiary registered in Amsterdam.
