India has recorded a significant offshore energy discovery in the Andaman Sea after Oil India Limited confirmed the presence of natural gas at the Sri Vijayapuram-3 exploratory well.
Located around 15 km off the east coast of the Andaman Islands, the find was announced by Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri.
