Explanation:

Oil India Limited (OIL) under the administrative set-up of the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas is engaged in the exploration, production and transportation of crude oil and natural gas. It was incorporated in 1959 as a company.

The first 1,700 km long Hazira-Vijaipur - Jagdishpur (HVJ) cross-country gas pipeline, constructed by GAIL (India), linked Mumbai High and Bassein gas fields with various fertiliser, power and industrial complexes in western and northern India. This artery provided the impetus to the Indian gas market development.

The World’s longest Highway tunnel — Atal Tunnel (9.02 Km) has been built by Border Road Organisation.

The IRS satellite system became operational with the launching of IRS-IA in March 1988 from Vaikanour in Russia.
