The state own exploration giant ONGC has made a remarkable change of life and economy of industrially striving Tripura over past five decades.
Besides, its mission to explore and produce hydrocarbons in Tripura since 1962, ONGC has now covered an area of around 10,500 sqkm in the state, western flank of Assam-Arakan Basin.
