The State Oil Company of the Azerbaijan Republic (SOCAR), Oil & Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), and Mangalore Refinery & Petrochemicals Limited (MRPL) have signed a Tripartite Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) during India Energy Week (IEW) 2025 at Yashobhoomi, Dwarka, New Delhi. This strategic MoU aims to enhance energy cooperation through the mutual supply and trade of crude oil, LNG, and petroleum products between SOCAR and ONGC Group entities. The Collaboration Framework MoU establishes a structured platform for engagement, facilitating in-depth discussions, information exchange, and the exploration of energy trade opportunities.
