MUMBAI: Five Indian companies are
among the top 15 Asian energy companies, racing past China which had three
companies in the list, according to Platts, a global provider of energy and
commodities information.
Platts today announced the 2009 Top 250
Global Energy Company Rankings which included 55 companies from Asia.
The five companies which topped the list are Reliance Industries
Ltd, Oil and Natural Gas Corporation, Indian Oil Corporation, NTPC Ltd and
Bharat Petroleum Corporation.
"2009 was the year for India. While
the developed world tightened its purse strings and almost ground to a halt,
India's petroleum sector came out to play ignoring the recession and preparing
for the years ahead," Platts Asia's News Director, Vandana Hari, said in a
statement here.
"This
is also where India's path diverged from that of its formidable Asian competitor
China. While Beijing went on a major shopping spree for energy assets around the
world, India invested in itself," she said.
In total, nine Indian
companies featured in the Top 250 list.
