On April 19, the company secured government approval for hiking Mangala output from 125,000 bpd to 150,000 bpd. Cairn is the operator of Rajasthan block with 70 percent interest while state-owned Oil and Natural Gas Corp (ONGC) holds the remaining 30 percent.

Recently, the company reported an 11% fall in its net profit at Rs 2,186 crore for the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2012 as against Rs 2,458 crore in the same quarter a year ago. The net profit decrease may be partly attributed to the forex loss of Rs 217 crore incurred during the quarter. It was Rs 38 crore in the same period a year ago.
