    NEW DELHI: In a first of its kind deal, UAE's national oil company Adnoc has agreed to store crude oil in India's maiden strategic storage and give two-third of the oil to it for free.

    India, which is 79 per cent dependent on imports to meet its crude oil needs, is building underground storages at Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh and Mangalore and Padur in Karnataka to store about 5.33 million tonnes of crude oil to guard against global price shocks and supply disruptions

    Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) is keen on taking half of the 1.5 million tons Mangalore facility, Oil Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said today.
