The company contributes approximately 30% of India’s crude oil production and operates the Mangala field, one of India’s largest onshore oil discoveries.
Cairn India was conferred the Superbrand status following an evaluation by the Superbrands Council, an independent body comprising leading advertising, marketing, research and media gurus.

The company brought Sri Lanka on to the global oil and gas map, with two successive gas discoveries: the CLPL-Dorado-91H/1z well and, the CLPL-Barracuda-1G/1 well.
