The government has not taken any decision in this regard, Pradhan told lawmakers in a written reply.

India wants to build bigger oil companies to better compete with global oil giants and withstand oil price volatility through integration of state-run oil firms.

The government has approved sale of its 51.1% stake in refiner Hindustan Petroleum Corp to oil producer Oil and Natural Gas Corp.
