Prime Minister Narendra Modi will on Monday brainstorm with the chief executives of top global and Indian oil and gas companies on the emerging energy scenario, with ripples from US sanctions on Iran and volatile oil prices threatening growth.
The third annual meeting, co-ordinated by the Niti Aayog, will deliberate on the ways to revive investment in oil and gas exploration and production, official sources said.
Sources said Saudi oil minister Khalid A al Falih, BP CEO Bob Dudley, Total head Patrick Fouyane, Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani and Vedanta chief Anil Agarwal are expected to attend the meeting.
The earlier two meetings were held in January 2016 and October 2017.
