One of Asia's largest oil E&P companies, ONGC became a publicly held company as of February 1994, following the Indian government's decision to privatize. 20% of shares were sold to the public. After its initial privatization, there were subsequent rounds in which government sold its stake.

The successfully formulated and implemented privatization strategy put ONGC at par with other large multinational and domestic oil companies
