Cairn cannot export Barmer crude: Delhi HC

Delhi HC rejects plea of Cairn India Ltd to export crude oil from its Barmer oil field in Rajasthan
The government had opposed Cairn’s plea on the ground that export of the domestic crude oil cannot be allowed as it would be detrimental to India’s energy security
Nearly 85 per cent of required crude in India was imported
The Delhi HC said that domestic crude cannot be exported till India attained “self sufficiency”
