India's Reliance plans aggressive exploration

MUMBAI, Nov 17 (Reuters) - Energy major Reliance Industries (RELI.BO: Quote, Profile, Research) plans an aggressive exploration campaign over three years, Chairman Mukesh Ambani said.

"Exploration and production business would give the company a much higher growth trajectory in the coming years," Ambani said at the company's annual meeting with shareholders.

Reliance Industries main businesses are petrochemicals, refining and oil and gas exploration.
