State-run explorer Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) plans to set up a gas processing plant near Dahanu in Maharashtra. It plans to process gas produced from its marginal fields on the west coast at Dahanu unit. The company will set the plant at an estimated investment of $3 billion and is looking at a peak capacity of 8 million cubic meters per day.

The company is expected to tie up with global companies to boost its domestic deep-water hydrocarbons hunt. The company had won 19 oil and gas acreages, including the East Coast ultra-deepwater gas discovery of the company through domestic licensing rounds.

ONGC sells crude to government-owned refiners at a discount to compensate them for selling diesel, kerosene and cooking gas below international rates.

Total income for the quarter under review increased by 24.4% to Rs.24,058.33 crore against Rs 19,336.46 crore in Q2, FY11.
