Prashant Modi, Managing Director & CEO of Great Eastern, said:

 

"The revenues and sales volume continue to show good growth. We have a focused plan of further optimising production, as well as pursuing further exploration. With the continued growth of the Indian economy and stable government policies, demand for hydrocarbons in India continues to grow which is evident from the rising imports."
