In the domestic oil & gas business, the Group has interests in exploration, prospecting and an intention to get into gas distribution. Beyond borders, Videocon is displaying considerable entrepreneurial flair by becoming active in bagging exploration and production in countries like Oman, Australia and the Timor Sea near Indonesia.

This gives the Group hegemonic status in those countries along with the possibility of earning extraordinary profits. It is this combination of acumen and dash that impressed Thomson SA enough to buy a significant stake in Videocon Industries Ltd.
