Why ONGC is grappling with existential crisis

Why ONGC is grappling with existential crisis

The reason for this stricture is India's rising dependence on imported oil and gas. Or, to put it another way, falling domestic production (see chart: "Crude truth"), especially from ONGC, which faces a simple problem.
