据路透社11月6日报道称，印度石油部长达曼德拉·普拉丹周三表示，作为全球第三大石油进口国，印度希望在其石油和天然气领域获得更多外国投资。印度正采取措施吸引企业，包括最近削减了公司税。

普拉丹在新德里举行的一次能源会议上表示，印度将获得资金和世界一流的技术，并实施成为国际能源领导者所需的政策改革。

他表示：“印度希望成为全球能源参与者的新目的地。”

全世界的石油生产商都渴望在印度站稳脚跟，印度的燃料需求预计将随着印度经济的增长而持续增长。

印度已经制定了在2020年3月之前将一些国有公司出售给本地或外国投资者的计划，其中包括炼油企业巴拉特石油公司。

India seeks foreign investments in oil and gas sector

India, the world’s third-largest oil importer, wants more foreign investments in its oil and gas sector, oil minister Dharmendra Pradhan said on Wednesday, as the country takes steps to woo companies, including a recent cut in corporate taxes.

India will secure capital, world-class technology and implement any policy reforms needed to become an international energy leader, Pradhan said at an energy conference in New Delhi.

“India wants to be the new destination for global energy players,” he said.

Oil producers worldwide are eager to gain a foothold in India, where fuel demand is expected to keep rising as the country’s economy grows.

India has already outlined plans to sell some state-owned companies to local or foreign investors by March 2020, including oil refiner Bharat Petroleum Corp Ltd.
